title: Exploring land suitability scenarios in Bratislava: a multicriteria analysis with an Urban Planner model

description: For effective urban planning, land suitability analysis can be utilized to direct development toward the most appropriate areas. However, urban expansion must balance growth with spatial and legislative constraints. This study aims to evaluate these constraints within land suitability analysis for the city of Bratislava, focusing on Housing, Production and Storage, Civic Amenities, Leisure and Sport, and Urban Landscape Greenery. To achieve this, the Urban Planner methodology was applied. This approach assesses land suitability using multicriteria analysis and subsequently integrates constraints through scenario modeling. The results indicate that highly suitable areas constitute only a small portion of the city, while nearly one-third of the territory is entirely restricted from development. These findings are visualized in five map outputs, each illustrating land suitability for a specific use along with scenario-based representations of spatial constraints. These maps serve as valuable tools for guiding Bratislava’s future development and directing investments efficiently.

title: Introducing cultural schema into heritage tourism map design: the case of ‘Suzhou Classical Gardens’ Narrative Map, China

description: Heritage tourism has been booming all around the world during the recent past. However, current heritage tourism maps have been locked into the traditional cartographic paradigms in standard formats and are thus incapable of exhibiting the local cultures and the stories behind them. To address this issue, this paper introduces the cultural schema theory into narrative cartographic design and proposes a novel theoretical framework for making heritage tourism maps. We use a typical ‘Suzhou Classical Gardens’ Narrative Map to demonstrate the usefulness and practicability of the proposed theoretical framework. We finally summarize five cartographic design guidelines for making heritage tourism maps. This study is believed to shed fresh light on cartographic design research.

title: Detailed geomorphological cartography of the Fildes Peninsula, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica

description: On the Antarctic continent, the transition from a warm, ice-free early Eocene to glacial conditions marks the onset of Cenozoic glaciation. The Fildes Peninsula (FP), King George Island, has geological and climatic characteristics that result in specific dynamic geomorphology. This study presents geomorphological mapping of the FP based on literature maps and photointerpretation, focusing on a sample area south of the Chilean Eduardo Frei base. Two maps were developed: a geomorphological map of the FP and a morphodynamic map of the sample area. Using aerial photos (1956), drone images, and previous research, geomorphic features were vectorized. Results indicate predominant processes such as nivation and cryoturbation. The sample area, a ‘U’-shaped paleovalley, shows features like snowbanks, solifluction lobes, patterned ground, and terraces shaped by glacial retreat and tectonics. The study highlights the complex periglacial dynamics of the FP and contributes to understanding geomorphological evolution in the region. Nivation: Predominant process in FP.Cryoturbation: Significant impact on the sample area's geomorphology.Solifluction: Observed in snowbanks and patterned soils.Glacial Retreat: Major factor in geomorphological changes.Geomorphological Mapping: Essential for understanding periglacial processes.

title: Habitats of Girona (Catalonia): urban landscape and Natura 2000 areas

description: The Girona urban landscape and Natura 2000 habitats map (1:10.000) was generated with data from photointerpretation and fieldwork. We mapped 118 CORINE habitats and identified 15 Habitats of Community Interest (which cover 40% of the study area). The vegetation science approach is usually applied at Natura 2000 sites but is scarce in urban areas. While these urban areas are increasingly recognized for their contributions to good quality of life, there is a lack of data, which halts improvements in urban planning and management. Current tools, such as CORINE habitat cartographies, can play an essential role in mapping the green and blue infrastructures and the urban matrix. These habitat maps can be used to evaluate biodiversity at different scales, as they contain all the information about these types of landscapes. In conclusion, the development of CORINE habitat cartographies will lead to a new strategic approach for the socioecological transition of urban landscapes.

title: Fluid regionalisation of semantic regions: possibilities for visualisation

description: This paper explores diverse visualisation methods of regionalisation based on a semantic analysis of institutionalised region names (choronyms) and adopts a fluid (fuzzy) approach to regional boundaries. Grounded in the theory of the institutionalisation of regions, the study examines how region shapes delineate their identities, resulting in an overlapping space of regions. Thus, the nature of this approach in regional geography requires multiple visualisations of areal features. The outcome is map representations of regions in the Czech-German-Polish borderland, illustrating regionalisation beyond traditional regional geography. European regionalism requires regionalisation using innovative cartographic visualisation methods to represent a cultural landscape without the use of borders.Boundaries, names of the regions and institutions form the basis of the region’s identities. European regionalism requires regionalisation using innovative cartographic visualisation methods to represent a cultural landscape without the use of borders. Boundaries, names of the regions and institutions form the basis of the region’s identities.

title: A summer in Siberia: the travel and the collection itinerary to the mouth of the Ob River by the botanist and ethno-anthropologist Stéphen Sommier in 1880

description: Stéphen Sommier (1848–1922) was a renowned botanist, plant collector, ethnographer, geographer and photographer. He is best known for his scientific expeditions to Italy, Scandinavia and Russia. This study provides a detailed reconstruction of his travels and collections during the expedition he led to the mouth of the Ob River in Siberia in the summer of 1880. This voyage was of significant botanical importance, with 562 different plant taxa collected, 22 of which were described as new to science at the time. The voyage is also significant from an ethnological point of view, as Sommier was the first Italian scientist to encounter and document the various Siberian populations of the time. The places visited have been georeferenced and presented in a topographical map, which highlights the itinerary and the sites where specimens corresponding to taxa later described as new to science were collected.

title: Hydrogeology of the lower sector of Basento and Cavone river basins (southern Italy)

description: Hydrogeology of the lower sector of the Basento and Cavone river basins (southern Italy), has been little studied so far, although this area plays a strategic role being an agricultural area, for the production of wheat and organic olive oil, and represents a historical economic pole, with the presence of an industrial area and several extraction sites of natural gas. In this paper, starting from official Italian geological maps, a hydrogeological conceptual model and geodatabase were developed through hydrogeological characterization of lithological formations, analysis of topographic cartography and satellite images, as well as an extensive hydrogeological survey. The results are represented by a hydrogeological map at the 1:50,000 scale, hydrostratigraphic cross-sections, groundwater flow schemes, and a groundwater database. These are valuable tools for knowledge and may be used as a reference for future hydrogeological studies, as well as planning and decision-making in groundwater management.

title: The geographical diversity of Chile’s rural territories: bases for a rural atlas

description: Like much of Latin America, Chile’s urban and rural areas present marked contrasts in population, production, and environment. The contribution of this article is to define rural typologies based on the census districts of Chile and to use 35 spatial variables for cluster analysis by Affinity Propagation (AP). AP is a clustering technique that works through the transmission of ‘messages’ between data points, seeking to represent the similarity between these points and find clusters adaptively, thus contributing to the generation of information on common patterns and characteristics in rural territories, which facilitates decision making for territorial planning and development. The results made it possible to identify 95 clusters, which were subsequently reclassified into 34 macroclusters and six macrozones. This analysis contributes to identify the particularities of rural territories with a spatial connotation, providing information for the elaboration of future detailed diagnoses that will serve as a basis for the design of new rural policies.

title: Legacy effects of historical land use on the vegetation of an Inland Dune Complex and adjacent floodplains in Northern Germany

description: The Carrenzien Inland Dune Complex (IDC) in the glacial Elbe Valley, Northern Germany, is home to highly endangered nutrient-poor habitat types. We assessed the effect of historical land use on the occurrence of today’s forest habitats by analysing five maps and geographical data from 1714 to 2015, displayed land use on the Carrenzien IDC and in the adjacent river flood plains, created a multitemporal GIS-analysis using the overlay method, and evaluated the effect using a Generalised Linear Model (GLM). The dune field changed from open land biotope and habitat types to an entirely forested area within 300 years. Anthropogenic drainage systems in the river valley transformed the wetland into an agricultural landscape after 1881. The <i>Deschampsia Pinus</i> community shows a significant association with areas of historical arable land and therefore represents a legacy of historical land use. We propose that this historical context should be considered in future nature conservation planning.

title: Habitat types of ‘Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park’ and adjoining Natura 2000 areas (Italy)

description: We present a 1:50,000 map of the EU Natura 2000 Habitat Types of Community Interest for Abruzzo Lazio and Molise National Park and adjoining areas (Central Apennines, Italy). The map was prepared by means of extensive data review, photointerpretation and a field survey with &gt;2600 ground-truth points and 138 vegetation plots. We mapped 37 Habitat Types, of which 9 had not been previously identified in the area. Within each Habitat, we mapped separately the different plant communities belonging to it. We mapped also the main plant communities (and land-cover types) not corresponding to Habitat Types. Relevant findings include e.g. Habitat ‘6240* – Sub-pannonic steppic grasslands’ (first record in the Apennines) and the unexpected extensive development of ‘3140 – Hard oligo-mesotrophic waters with benthic vegetation of <i>Chara</i> spp.’ (in Barrea Lake reservoir). Habitat maps are essential for biodiversity conservation, landscape planning and fulfilment of EU regulations.
