A volunteered geographic information system (VGI) is a computer application which allows an individual voluntarily visualizes, organizes, and disseminates geographical data and information for free use by any user (Tulloch, 2008). The main goal of a VGI is to obtain volunteered geographical data, so it is essential to consider the user´s interactio...
The ability to identify a coordinate location from a human natural language description is useful for a number of applications. However, a qualitative, empirical survey collecting examples of such descriptions identifies a number of challenges that are not being addressed in current research. This paper describes those challenges and the current st...
The adoption of a not orthogonal point of view in maps creation implies changes in the symbology design to make possible the cartographic communication. There are no general principles for 3D maps and misconceptions in the construction process of these maps may restrict or even impair the proper communication of cartographic features, and their spa...
This paper aims to compare the update process of the official topographic map of Curitiba and the OpenStreetMap (OSM).

Consequently, we have analyzed some of the results of the access to n...
The main goal of this paper is to present the results of thematic mapping for Curitiba´s cycling structure. With these maps, we intend to show the reality of these structures and provide ways to improve them. The Brazilian Government developed a plan, named PlanMob (Mobility Plan), which was established to guide the municipalities in the developmen...
A heuristic ontology is an ontology that describes concepts using heuristics (‘rules of thumb’ or guidelines) rather than axioms as in a classical ontology. The heuristics can be used to establish whether a given instance is a member of the concept defined by the heuristics in a data-driven manner. The approach may be particularly useful if data is...
The map generalization has always had subjective characteristic, which implies that the same scale maps derived from the same source map can result in different representations because these processes can be made by different cartographers. In addition, the evolution of computer technology needs a standardization of this process so that generated c...
In this study, we investigate subjective preferences regarding floor plans and schematic maps in the use of a map in an indoor environment. To achieve this, we performed a qualitative experiment with a random user sample; the survey was carried out remotely. The survey was conducted in Portuguese and English, and users were asked to answer question...
Maps support many planning activities, from general purpose tasks to in-depth spatial analyses. However, preferences and intuitions, which occur in all human interactions, are often disregarded in use and user research in cartography, and there is evidences that analysis of these factors is desirable. It is commonly believed that there is a positiv...
