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…

Geospatial data are today more and more widespread. Many different institutions, such as Geographical Institutes, Public Administrations, collaborative communities (e.g., OSM) and web companies, make available nowadays a large number of maps. Besides this cartography, projects of digitizing, georeferencing and web publication of historical maps have increasingly spread in the recent years. In spite of these variety and availability of data, information overload makes difficult their discovery and management: without knowing the specific repository where the data are stored, it is difficult to find the information required and problems of interconnection between different data sources and th…
