À la recherche des maillages communaux d'antan. Présentation du projet ANR COMMUNES et de quelques résultats préliminaires
2020
The COMMUNES project aims: 1) to produce the first H-GIS in the world providing annualised boundary data for all French municipalities from the Revolution to the present day. Each spatial unit will include population data and metrics of access to networks of transport; 2) to develop a multimodal model of transport to allow the dynamic analysis of the relationship between economic and demographic changes and accessibility from the end of the 18th century to the present day; 3) to represent and analyse on a very fine scale some key demographic and socio-economic phenomena. Our method for reconstructing historic administrative boundaries combines the study of historical and cartographic source…
Modelling Geohistorical Accessibility in the Long Run: the Growth of the Waterway's Network
2022
Historical GIS are common tools used in social sciences. They allow to inventory spatial objects over time and to make space a real determinant in the analysis in the long run. Often the projects are focusing on the collect and we aim here to focus on data analysis. The succession of transportation networks is the way to revive economic geography through spatially linked population and occupational data. In the long run it consists of empirical analyses to assess the role of geohistorical accessibility in the local development. Our research project aims to offer a multimodal analysis since the 19th century to question the regional development in France face to the growth of transportation n…
