“…Under this definition, our map would seem to qualify as a deep map with its inclusion of the texts, stations, and panoramic imagery. Our application provides the user with an array of data related to the Crosthwaite map in an undirected interface, which allows for 'open-ended exploration' of Derwent Water [10].…”

“…A prototype, using Google maps to spatially place data and a content bar to allow users to view details about visible sites, is a good example of the basic implementation of a deep map, because it can provide information to a user that can transform a space into a place. The creators of this implementation of a deep map put the most 'emphasis on one particular user interaction: exploration' [10].…”

“…A traditional map is generally a representation of space, while a deep map, under this definition, should be a representation of place [9]. The second deep mapping concept we chose to focus on is the 'open-ended exploration of a particular place' [10]. Each place represented in our prototype is intended to provide users with the ability to explore the available data pertaining to that place.…”

What are the requirements for building a historic deep map using literary data? This is the question we sought to address as part of an exploratory prototype in Lancaster Universitys Geospatial Innovation in the Digital Humanities: A Deep Map of the English Lake District project. We created a prototype deep map based on Thomas Wests A guide to the Lakes, and a historic map of Derwent Water Lake created by Peter Crosthwaite. Our prototype maps the locations of Wests picturesque viewing stations and creates connections between the literary work and visual representations of the places described. This article describes our approach to building this prototype and discusses what we learned and the issues we revealed about creating a historic deep map.

“…Effective programming designed to foster conservation behaviors establishes explicit ties to people and places with whom the audience can connect in deeply personal ways (Brown and Raymond 2007;Seifert and Shaw 2013;Smith 2008). This recognition has driven the National Endowment for the Humanities to establish the Institute on Spatial Narratives and Deep Maps (Ridge et al 2013). As in this work in the St. Louis River Estuary, the Institute on Spatial Narratives and Deep Maps brings together professionals in the humanities, social sciences, geospatial sciences, and natural resource sciences to develop tools for citizens and decision makers (Bodenhamer et al 2010;Oxx et al 2013;Ridge et al 2013).…”

Linking place-based science to people through spatial narratives of coastal stewardship

et al. 2015

Stressor gradients and spatial narratives of the St. Louis River Estuary, a joint Minnesota and Wisconsin Sea Grant study, connected aquatic science research with spatially-explicit stories of local resource issues and place-based geo-quests to enhance spatial awareness and stewardship of the estuary. The goal of this paper is to report and reflect on an integrated study that combined environmental humanities and technology with aquatic science in a spatial context. Our study was organized into three objectives around research, outreach, and evaluation. First, we summarized anthropogenic stressors within high resolution watersheds and linked the watershed stress estimates to aquatic habitats within the estuary. Second, we designed tools to deliver place-based environmental science and technology to targeted users to increase awareness, learning, and the potential for long-term stewardship. And third, we evaluated the responses of targeted end users to their interaction with the project's integrated science and innovative delivery methods. Finally, central to all three objectives, we created a dynamic website to facilitate regional to national coastal outreach and education goals. We found significant correlations between the stressor index and the water quality and biotic data, along with variability attributed to landscape elements. Connecting this science with the place-based experiences we collected is expected to expand the scope and reach of state, bi-national and non-governmental outreach programs. The project also has direct applications to classroom science education. Developing this integrated proj e c t c o n t r i b u t e d t o o u r s h a r e d environmental and cultural aspects of the estuary for place-based education, and offers several lessons for future work of this nature.

“…A popular version of the U.S. aspirational food system starts with food experts and advocates that have problematized the notion that average citizens lack a model that envisions food as part of a supply chain starting with production and ending with consumption [ 10 ]. This particular problematization of the food system by experts and advocates is intended to heighten awareness of a food supply chain that, unlike the modern food system, is closer to local or regional places built around the notion of a socially constructed local or regional community [ 11 , 12 ]. The goal of narratives around this food system is to equip citizens with a model and vision of a food supply chain that encompasses a number of related domains that might fall under a social justice paradigm including healthy nutrition, local agriculture, the environment, equity, and sustainability [ 13 ].…”

In an effort to elucidate an aspirational vision for the food system and explore whether the characteristics of such a system inadvertently set unattainable standards for low-wealth rural communities, we applied discourse analysis to the following qualitative datasets: (1) interviews with food experts and advocates, (2) scholarly and grey literature, (3) industry websites, and (4) email exchanges between food advocates. The analysis revealed eight aspirational food system discourses: production, distribution, and infrastructure; healthy, organic, local food; behavioral health and education; sustainability; finance and investment; hunger relief; demand-side preferences; romanticized, community led transformations. Study findings reveal that of eight discourses, only three encompass the experiences of low-wealth rural residents. This aspirational food system may aggravate the lack of autonomy and powerlessness already experienced by low-wealth rural groups, perpetuate a sense of failure by groups who will be unable to reach the aspirational food vision, silence discourses that might question those that play a role in the inequitable distribution of income while sanctioning discourses that focus on personal or community solutions, and leave out other policy-based solutions that address issues located within the food system. Further research might explore how to draw attention to silenced discourses on the needs and preferences of low-wealth rural populations to ensure that the policies and programs promoted by food system experts mitigate poor diets caused by food insecurity. Further research is needed to inform policies and programs to mitigate food insecurity in low-wealth rural populations.
