Crowdsourcing: A Geographic Approach to Public Engagement, The Programmable City Working Paper 6 (2014)

Lauriault, Tracey P.; Mooney, Peter

Crowdsourcing: A Geographic Approach to Public Engagement, The Programmable City Working Paper 6 (2014)

Lauriault, Tracey P.; Mooney, Peter

Abstract:

In this paper we examine three geographic crowdsourcing models, namely: volunteered geographic information (VGI), citizen science (CS) and participatory mapping (PM) (Goodchild, 2007; Audubon Society, 1900; and Peluso, 1995). We argue that these geographic knowledge producing practices can be adopted by governments to keep databases up to date (Budhathoki et al., 2008), to gain insight about natural resources (Conrad and Hilchey, 2011), to better understand the socio-economy of the people it governs (Johnston and Sieber, 2013) and as a form of data-based public engagement. The paper will be useful to governments and public agencies considering using geographic crowdsourcing in the future. We begin by defining VGI, CS, PM and crowdsourcing. Two typologies are then offered as methods to conceptualize these practices and the Kitchin (2014) data assemblage framework is proposed as a method by which state actors can critically examine their data infrastructures. A selection of exemp...

Eighteenth-Century Estate Maps (1997)

Duffy, Paddy

Eighteenth-Century Estate Maps (1997)

Duffy, Paddy

Abstract:

Before the Ordnance Survey undertook the mapping of the country from Malin to Mizzen in the 1830s, cartography, surveying and landscape map production in Ireland were essentially a private undertakings. There had been a seventeenth-century precedent for state involvement in mapping in the various plantation surveys, but after Sir William Petty's Down Survey and the more or less final allocation of landed estates in the 1690s, there was no more central goverment involvement. Throughout the eighteenth century, competition in an expanding market for estate surveys produced a flowering of cartographic enterprise which has added considerably to our understanding of prefamine social and economic development.

Exposing the 'Second Text' of Maps of the Net (2000)

Exposing the 'Second Text' of Maps of the Net (2000)

Dodge, Martin; Kitchin, Rob

Abstract:

Maps have long been recognized as important and powerful modes of visual communication. In this paper we examine critically maps which are being produced to represent and promote information and communication technologies and the use of cyberspace. Drawing on the approach of map deconstruction we attempt to read and expose the 'second text' of maps of the Net. As such, we examine in detail a number of maps that display, with varying degrees of subtlety, the ideological agendas of cyberboosterism and techno-utopianism of their creators. A critical reading of these maps is important because they are widely reproduced and consumed on the Internet, in business and governmental reports, and in the popular press, all too often without a detailed consideration of the deliberate and intended messages being communicated. As we illustrate, many of these maps not only promote certain ideological messages but are often also poor in terms of cartographic design, with many containing se...

From mathematical to post-representational understandings of cartography (2014)

Kitchin, Rob

From mathematical to post-representational understandings of cartography (2014)

Kitchin, Rob

Abstract:

Progress in Human Geography has been a key conduit for the advancement of cartographic theory and practice over the past 40 years, pub- lishing both original papers and progress reports that discuss leading-edge cartographic thought, technological developments, and empirical works of the time. In total, 36 papers with an explicit focus on cartography have been pub- lished in the journal, 17 of which are reproduced in this virtual issue. Collectively, the papers pro- vide a fascinating historiography, told through multiple voices, into the development of carto- graphic theory and praxis since the early 1970s. This period has been one of great theore- tical and technical ferment, with several con- ceptual perspectives being developed and employed in an effort to better understand maps and mapping, and rapid technological develop- ments transforming the ways in which maps were created and employed, including digital cartography, geographic information systems, and the geoweb.

Post-representational cartography (2010)

Kitchin, Rob

Post-representational cartography (2010)

Kitchin, Rob

Abstract:

Over the past decade there has been a move amongst critical cartographers to rethink maps from a post-representational perspective – that is, a vantage point that does not privilege representational modes of thinking (wherein maps are assumed to be mirrors of the world) and automatically presumes the ontological security of a map as a map, but rather rethinks and destabilises such notions1. This new theorisation extends beyond the earlier critiques of Brian Harley (1989) that argued maps were social constructions. For Harley a map still conveyed the truth of a landscape, albeit its message was bound within the ideological frame of its creator. He thus advocated a strategy of identifying the politics of representation within maps in order to circumnavigate them (to reveal the truth lurking underneath), with the ontology of cartographic practice remaining unquestioned. As Jeremy Crampton (2003: 90) has argued, Harley’s approach ‘provided an epistemological avenue into the map, but sti...

Power and Politics of Mapping (2011)

Kitchin, Rob; Dodge, Martin; Perkins, Chris

Power and Politics of Mapping (2011)

Kitchin, Rob; Dodge, Martin; Perkins, Chris

Abstract:

There is a long tradition of historical analysis that examines the production of maps, their development over time and their role in society. Such analysis implicitly concerns the power of mapping to influence social and economic relations in particular places and times. More recently, research has focused specifically on the politics and power of mapping; how power is captured in and communicated through maps to assert command and control of territory and socio-spatial relations; how power is bound up in the very creation and use of maps; and how mapping practices are used to resist and contest the exercise of power over space. Much of this research is framed within what has been termed critical cartography (Harley 1989; Crampton and Krygier 2005) and critical GIS (Pickles 1995; Curry 1998; Schuurman 1999; O’Sullivan 2006). Critical cartography is post-positivist in its approach, drawing on a range of social theory to re-examine cartographic representations and the wider milieu of ...

Thinking about maps (2009)

Kitchin, Rob; Perkins, Chris; Dodge, Martin

Abstract:

Given the long history of map-making and its scientific and scholarly traditions one might expect the study of cartography and mapping theory to be relatively moribund pursuits with long established and static ways of thinking about and creating maps. This, however, could not be further from the truth. As historians of cartography have amply demonstrated, cartographic theory and praxis has varied enormously across time and space, and especially in recent years. As conceptions and philosophies of space and scientific endeavour have shifted so has how people come to know and map the world. Philosophical thought concerning the nature of maps is of importance because it dictates how we think about, produce and use maps; it shapes our assumptions about how we can know and measure the world, how maps work, their techniques, aesthetics, ethics, ideology, what they tell us about the world, the work they do in the world, and our capacity as humans to engage in mapping. Mapping is epistemolog...
