Abstract In this study, the authors created an overview of usage heat maps as a GIS visualization method. first part paper, significant number studies was evaluated, and technique thoroughly described to set up base level for further research. At moment, most used input data are point data. While these fit method very well, also based on line polygon were found. The second paper is devoted exploratory study traffic accident Olomouc city, Czech Republic. Even spatial distribution dataset by...
Societal Impact Statement Conserving frankincense trees ( Boswellia ) is crucial for both ecological and socio‐economic reasons. Surveying these in the field using remote sensing unmanned aerial vehicles Socotra Archipelago, we found that Socotran are threatened by forest fragmentation, overgrazing, increasingly frequent extreme climate events. A better understanding of distribution threats important insular species will improve conservation policy local authorities benefit communities...
We are now generating exponentially more data from sources than a few years ago. Big data, an already familiar term, has been generally defined as massive volume of structured, semi-structured, and/or unstructured which may not be effectively managed and processed using traditional databases software techniques. It could problematic to visualize easily quickly large amount via Internet platform. From this perspective, the main aim paper is test point visualization possibilities selected...
Recent developments in web map applications have widely affected how background maps are rendered. Raster tiles currently considered as a regular solution, while the use of vector is becoming more widespread. This article describes an experiment to test both raster and tile methods. The concept behind based on pre-generating original dataset including customized symbology style. All generated according standardized scheme. method has few disadvantages: if any change required, entire...
There has been an enormous technological boom that impacted all areas of geoscience in the past few decades. Part change was also process democratization cartography as well geographic information systems (GIS), together with new approaches have emerged, bringing social dimension into and GIS. These were variously labelled critical cartography, collaborative mapping, digital citizenship, Bottom-up GIS Participatory The paper describes role mapping participation community building assets...
The last remaining Dragon Tree Forest on Earth survives a small plateau (Roqeb di Firmihin) in Socotra Island (Yemen). Socotran Dragon’s Blood (Dracaena cinnabari Balf. f.) is endemic to the Archipelago UNESCO World Heritage Site. Being culturally important and endangered tree species, its conservation priority. Despite this, complete inventory of Firmihin Dracaena forest (14.9 km2) has never been attempted before. We applied use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for first time conserving...
With the rapid development of internet technologies in recent years, shift from desktop to web platform can be seen within geospatial analysis. While analytical tools, such as buffer or clip, are routinely used environments, WebGIS deals with geographic information, including analysis, online environment. The main aim this paper is perform a comparison and evaluation vector-oriented geoprocessing tools environment, supported by custom solution for application called GeOnline developed tested...
The article describes the process of aggregation media-based data about coronavirus pandemic in Olomouc region, Czech Republic. Originally non-spatially located news from different sources and various platforms (government, social media, portals) were automatically aggregated into a centralized database. application “COVID-map” is an interactive web map solution which visualizes records database spatial way. COVID-map has been developed within Ad hoc online hackathon as academic project at...
The article presents an interdisciplinary link between the geospatial and cultural sector. This is a unique study of Central Europe in visualizing interpreting spatial location elements creative industries. main purpose was to create suitable visualizations process aspects industries cartographical environment. A team professionals from several fields (geoinformatics, economics, culture, social sciences, cartography) assembled map Olomouc Region, Czech Republic. total 1,211 subjects were...
The paper describes the educational portal BotanGIS. It is an innovative geographical information system developed to improve botany education. divided into two main parts. database contains more than 50 characteristics of about 500 plants from Botanical Garden in Olomouc, Czech Republic. In database, students can search and filter and, with help interactive map, locate on map. From a technical point view, it built rich internet application concept, which enables creation sophisticated...

Abstract Currently, virtual reality (VR) is a trend both in general and specific fields such as interactive maps. The article aims to test the possibilities of deployment low‐cost environment for 3D spatial panoramic application. It discusses compares modern trends hardware (panoramic cameras glasses) software field reality. Many map applications (e.g., well‐known “Google Street View”) allow us navigate through using VR headsets or on an ordinary 2D monitor. main aim design, develop, deploy...
This paper assesses possibilities of a new approach control map applications on the screen without locomotive system. There is project about usability Eye Tracking System in Geoinformatic and Cartographic fields at Department Geoinformatics Palacky University. The eye tracking system device for measuring eye/gaze positions movement ("where we are looking"). number methods outputs, but most common "heat-maps" intensity and/or time. Just this method was used first part, where analyzed web...
This paper and accompanying map aim on the issue of brain drain (otherwise known as Human Capital Flight) concerning cultural creative industries. The study is focused evaluation Olomouc city, Czechia. In case a mid-sized city such Olomouc, human capital flight largely associated with fields, because it plays significant part economy character city. 'brain index' Czech municipalities has been calculated visualized within synthetic map. supported by investigated from local university....
