“…Previous research by Schroth [17] has also suggested that users with expert map reading skills prefer maps and rank realistic landscape visualizations such as the virtual globe imagery lower than lay people do. Future research is suggested to further investigate group differences and the possible impact of different learning styles and the cognitive load of virtual globes [20,21].…”

“…Consequently, Google covers the foreground scenes with its complementary service StreetView for select built-up areas. It is still an open question how much cognitive load these diverse landscape impressions impose on the user and how different user groups can cope with that cognitive load [20,21].…”

Tool or Toy? Virtual Globes in Landscape Planning

Virtual globes, i.e., geobrowsers that integrate multi-scale and temporal data from various sources and are based on a globe metaphor, have developed into serious tools that practitioners and various stakeholders in landscape and community planning have started using. Although these tools originate from Geographic Information Systems (GIS), they have become a different, potentially interactive and public tool set, with their own specific limitations and new opportunities. Expectations regarding their utility as planning and community engagement tools are high, but are tempered by both technical limitations and ethical issues [1,2]. Two grassroots campaigns and a collaborative visioning process, the Kimberley Climate Adaptation Project case study (British Columbia), illustrate and broaden our understanding of the potential benefits and limitations associated with the use of virtual globes in participatory planning initiatives. Based on observations, questionnaires and in-depth interviews with stakeholders and community members using an interactive 3D model of regional climate change vulnerabilities, potential impacts, and possible adaptation and mitigation scenarios in Kimberley, the benefits and limitations of virtual globes as a tool for participatory landscape planning are discussed. The findings suggest that virtual globes can facilitate access to geospatial information, raise awareness, and provide a more representative virtual landscape than static visualizations. However, landscape is not equally representative at all scales, and not all types of users seem to benefit equally from the tool. The risks of misinterpretation can be managed by integrating the application and interpretation of virtual globes into face-to-face planning processes

“…The convention for direction of temporal order is of a unidirectional timeline from left to right (Raper 2000), though Edsall and Sidney (2005) link this to reading pattern, and therefore it is possibly only a Western convention. Although order is maintained, the left to right arrangement of maps and painting elements do not suggest time in a metric sense.…”

“…The temporal dimension can be comprehended linearly (occurrences with chronological development) or discontinuously (cyclical or random occurrences) (Moellering, 1976;Muxart. et al, 1992;Peuquet, 2002;Edsall et al, 2005). For what concerns human activities, time is generally associated with a [given] state of the environment (landuse, landcover, resources etc.).…”

Multi-scale modelling for simulating marine activities under heterogeneous environmental constraints

This paper describes the concepts behind the implementation of a multi-agents model aimed to explore how marine activities respond to various environmental constraints. The methodology takes advantage on a responsive agent-based structure, and treats the environment as a set of forcing variables (biophysical, socio-economic and regulatory data). A first experiment in the Iroise Sea area shows a great potential in assessing the intensity and the variability of marine activities at different scales level. The whole methodology is presented in this paper in order to completely analyze the contributions and limitations concerning the SIMARIS prototype. RESUME. Cette contribution décrit les concepts associés à la mise en oeuvre d'un modèle multiagents simulant le déroulement d'activités marines sous contraintes d'environnement. La méthodologie proposée se base sur un environnement de simulation permettant d'intégrer des données spatio-temporelles multi-sources et multi-échelles au sein d'un modèle à base d'agents contraints.Un premier prototype développé en mer d'Iroise montre les apports possibles de cette démarche pour évaluer la variabilité des activités de pêche à différentes niveaux scalaires.
