Abstract

In this work we explore the possibility to combine various perspectives of visualization and analysis of city data using concrete examples of the data from human trajectories and urban trees. This allows us to consider the city from the points of view of an urbanist, complex system scientist and a city anthropologist. It also allows to broaden the anthropocentric perspective, incorporating into the city map not just roads and city buildings, but also urban trees. We create a framework to create cartographic images of a cityscape, which is interlinked with trees in these cities. We also introduce a hybrid (quantitative and visual) framework to characterize human paths in cities developing a new green walk measure, which then allows us to extend the framework for urban multilayer information.

Zusammenfassung

In dieser Arbeit erforschen wir die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Perspektiven der Visualisierung und Analyse von Stadtdaten anhand konkreter Beispiele der Daten von menschlichen Trajektorien und Stadtbäumen zu kombinieren. Dies ermöglicht es uns, die Stadt aus der Sicht eines Urbanisten, eines Wissenschaftlers für komplexe Systeme und eines Stadtanthropologen zu betrachten. Es erlaubt uns auch, die anthropozentrische Perspektive zu erweitern, indem wir nicht nur Straßen und Gebäude, sondern auch Stadtbäume in die Stadtkarte einbeziehen. Wir schaffen einen Rahmen, um kartografische Bilder einer Stadtlandschaft zu erstellen, die mit Bäumen in diesen Städten verknüpft sind. Wir führen auch einen hybriden (quantitativen und visuellen) Rahmen zur Charakterisierung menschlicher Wege in Städten ein, der ein neues Maß für grüne Wege berücksichtigt und es ermöglicht, den Rahmen für urbane, mehrschichtige Informationen zu erweitern.
