Cartography - Maps Connecting the World
This book is an important volume in the series on the state-of-art research in Cartography and GI Science. It is a collection of selected peer-reviewed papers organized into contemporary topics of research, presented at the 27th International Cartographic Conference (ICC) in Rio de Janeiro. This is the 3rd edition of selected ICA conference papers published by Springer Lectures in Geoinformation and Cartography. The conference topic is “maps connecting the world,” and Brazilian cartographers and geo-information scientists are honored to welcome their peers from all over the world to the event, which will present some of the most important recent advances in cartography research and GI science. The most relevant papers will be selected for the Springer book and these will be organized into five sections according to topic area to provide a valuable cartography and GI science reference work
Standardisation and the Wealth of Place Names: Aspects of a Delicate Relationship
Standardisation and the Wealth of Place Names – Aspects of a Delicate Relationship is a selection of double-blind peer-reviewed papers from the 6th International Symposium on Place Names that took place virtually 29 September – 1 October 2021. The symposium explored the issues of multiple place names vis-à-vis processes of standardisation. These studies collectively show that there is not a simplistic dichotomy between standardisation and the protection of cultural heritage. Some papers grapple with the implications and execution of standardisation processes, while others explore the emergence of alternative or unofficial names in response to top-down initiatives. The matter of signed place names also receives some attention. A number of papers excavate the layers of multiple place names, thereby contributing to our ‘wealth’ of toponymic knowledge. These proceedings are the product of collaboration between Southern African and international researchers. As such, it is a valuable resource to local as well as international scholars who are interested in the interdisciplinary field of toponymy.
Rio de Janeiro in the Global Meat Market, c. 1850 to c. 1930
This book examines the meat provision system of Rio de Janeiro from the 1850s to the 1930s. Until the 1920s, Rio was Brazil’s economic hub, main industrial city, and prime consumer market. Meat consumption was an indicator of living standards and a matter of public concern. The work unveils that in the second half of the nineteenth century, the city was well supplied with red meat. Initially, dwellers relied mostly on salted meat; then, in the latter decades of the 1800s, two sets of changes upgraded fresh meat deliveries. First, ranching expansion and transportation innovation in southeast and central-west Brazil guaranteed a continuous flow of cattle to Rio. Second, the municipal centralization of meat processing and distribution made its provision regular and predictable. By the early twentieth century, fresh meat replaced salted meat in the urban marketplace. This study examines these developments in light of national and global developments in the livestock and meat industries.
Place Naming, Identities and Geography
This book presents research on geographical naming on land and sea from a wide range of standpoints on: theory and concepts, case studies and education. Space and place naming or toponymy has a long tradition in the sciences and a renewed critical interest in geography and allied disciplines including the humanities. Place: location and cartographical aspects, etymology and geo-histories so salient in past studies, are now being enhanced from a range of radical perspectives, especially in a globalizing, standardizing world with Googlization and the consequent ‘normalization’ of place names, perceptions and images worldwide including those for marketing purposes. Nonetheless, there are conflicting and contesting voices. The interdisciplinary research is enhanced with authors from regional, national and international toponymy-related institutions and organizations including the UNGEGN, IGU, ICA and so forth.
History of Cartography
This volume collects 22 papers presented at the 4th International Symposium of the ICA Commission on the History of Cartography, held at Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest, Hungary, on 28-29 June 2012. The overall conference theme is 'Exploration - Discovery - Cartography', but preference has been given to papers dealing with cartography in the 19th and 20th centuries. The papers are classified according to regional sub-themes, i.e. papers on the Americas, papers on Africa, etc.
Digital Heritage and Archaeology in Practice
Exploring the use of digital methods in heritage studies and archaeological research The two volumes of Digital Heritage and Archaeology in Practice bring together archaeologists and heritage professionals from private, public, and academic sectors to discuss practical applications of digital and computational approaches to the field. Contributors thoughtfully explore the diverse and exciting ways in which digital methods are being deployed in archaeological interpretation and analysis, museum collections and archives, and community engagement, as well as the unique challenges that these approaches bring. In this volume, essays address methods for preparing and analyzing archaeological data,...
Cartografias do Ontem, Hoje e Amanhã
A inteligência espacial está relacionada à capacidade de pensar visualmente, unindo posicionamento, geometrias e contexto. Esta habilidade acompanhou a história da nossa civilização e veio se potencializando com a evolução geotecnológica. Este livro nos remete a uma viagem sobre as cartografias do ontem, hoje e amanhã.
Roteiro de cartografia
O que têm em comum um planejamento de geomarketing em Fortaleza, o monitoramento de incêndios no cerrado goiano, a rede metroviária de São Paulo e o Plano de Manejo do Parque de Itatiaia? Todos, assim como outras infinitas situações, precisam de uma base cartográfica consistente. Graças ao desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias de Geoprocessamento e construção de mapas, a Cartografia é cada vez mais utilizada no cotidiano das pessoas, às vezes inadvertidamente, como importante ferramenta nas mais variadas atividades econômicas. Nesse cenário, a correta produção, apresentação e interpretação de mapas é vital. Roteiro de Cartografia vem suprir uma lacuna na área, apresentan...
Norte Fluminense em Contexto: Primeiras Reflexões
O livro Norte Fluminense em contexto: primeiras reflexões abarca uma série de pesquisas com o propósito de trazer leituras interdisciplinares de temas importantes para a compreensão da conjuntura dessa mesorregião geográfica, como saúde, educação, economia, agropecuária, ambiental, mapeamento e inovação. É resultado de um workshop realizado no ano de 2021, na Universidade Federal Fluminense, Campos dos Goytacazes, com a participação de pesquisadores, gestores públicos e privados e da sociedade civil. Com linguagem acessível, a obra propõe um amplo e fértil diálogo entre a Universidade e a Sociedade, com leituras voltadas tanto para o aprimoramento teórico quanto para a apresentação de ferramentas tecnológicas e de mapeamento para solução de problemas efetivos. Visa a promover o debate sobre o planejamento, com maior participação popular na tomada das decisões, sendo considerado um processo construído política e socialmente. À vista disso, esta compilação contribui para o desenvolvimento regional e social.
De Vila do Açúcar à Cidade do Ouro Negro: Capítulos da História de Catu
