Représenter la mondialisation par des flux, le rôle de la distance cartographique perçue

Abstract

Representing globalization through flows, the role of the perceived cartographic distance Representación de la globalización mediante mapas de flujos: el papel de la distancia cartográfica percibida

Polygon vector map distortion for increasing the readability of one-to-many flow maps

“…All the information is present, but the maps can become very cluttered when the number of flows increases because each flow is represented independently of the others. Moreover, according to Bahoken (2022), the representation of exchanges/movements by a straight line is not satisfactory. It is too approximate and does not correspond to the underlying mode of transport (e.g.…”

“…A series of automatic mapping operations are then performed to improve the lines representing the flows and add color to them according to their value. Bahoken (2022) explains the importance of the "route effect", which should be integrated into the representation of the flows in order to provide a qualitative improvement to the map. Without knowing the route of the movements, it is obviously not possible to transcribe the exact path taken in reality, but these movements must be evoked.…”
