“…Recent advancements in geo-visualization software and web-based mapping have eliminated some of the barriers posed by traditional GIS approaches that prohibit the incorporation of several types of qualitative analysis (Taylor et al, 2020). New GIS techniques have enabled analysis and inclusion of cultural attributes, perceptions, opinions and attitudes concerned with engagement, participation and understanding (Egiebor and Foster, 2019;Mukherjee, 2019). For instance, ESRI (Redlands, CA, USA) has introduced a tool called 'Story Map' by which researchers can generate effective and fascinating tales by harmonizing interactive maps, texts and other multimedia materials including mental maps, sketches, photographs, audio and video (ESRI, 2019).…”

Mobility of individuals and their physical social networks are the root causes for the spread of current coronavirus pandemic. We propose here a method of visualizing the spatial and chronological aspects of the spread of this virus based on geographical information systems (GIS) and Gephi graphs. For this approach we used qualitative data from newspaper reports and prepared layouts varying from macro to micro scales that show that this approach can enrich traditional GIS approaches, thereby assisting mobility planners and policymakers.

In today's world, new technologies are being used for the teaching‐learning process in the classroom. Their use to support learning can provide significant advantages for the teaching‐learning process and have potential benefits for students, as many of these technologies are a part of the work life of many current professions. The aim of this study is to analyse the use of innovative technologies for engineering and science education after examining the data obtained from students in their learning process and experiences. The study has been focused on computational geographic information systems, which allow access to and management of large volumes of information and data, and on the assessment of this tool as a basis for a suitable methodology to enhance the teaching‐learning process, taking into account the great social impact of big data. The results allow identifying the main advantages, opportunities, and drawbacks of using these technological tools for educational purposes. Finally, a set of initiatives has been proposed to complement the teaching activity and to improve user experience in the educational field.

“…In addition, these applications can facilitate the digitization and analysis of spatial information and thus feature heavily in the Digital GeoHumanities (Crang 2015; Dear 2015). Many of these online tools are free (albeit often within certain parameters or institutional licenses) and are easy to learn, making story maps popular for student learning and public engagement, for example, with citizen science projects (Egiebor and Foster 2018; Janicki et al 2016; Kerski 2015). Taking a cue from collaborative and educational uses of story map tools, I use these tools to support the process of performing story-mapping as a research.…”

“…The rise of interactive digital mapping and spatial storytelling through applications, like Odyssey, Esri Story Maps, MapStory, or Story Map JS, opens possibilities to attend to narration of spatial knowledge in research. These tools are often used for education and learning, disseminating findings, data visualization, communicating information, or sharing a story (Antoniou et al 2018; Baker 2015; Berendsen et al 2018; Caquard and Fiset 2014; Egiebor and Foster 2018; Szukalski 2018). In addition, these applications can facilitate the digitization and analysis of spatial information and thus feature heavily in the Digital GeoHumanities (Crang 2015; Dear 2015).…”

This short take presents story-mapping as a research technique that incorporates multiple methods and data sources to build visual narratives of individual and collective experiences. The goals of story-mapping are the following: (1) iteratively synthesize the collection, analysis, and representation of spatial, visual, and textual information as a narrative; (2) enable meaningful participation of research participants; and (3) generate a visually compelling product that facilitates dissemination. This article details the motivation, methods, and procedures for story-mapping based on research from Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley, which investigated the water-related practices, feelings, and observations of people who secure water for their families.
