spatial representation
key concept for understanding the social
uses of technologies associated with
manipulation, presentation, storage and
maintenance of geographic information
present in mobile devices applications and
social networks platforms
essentially derived from cartographic
techniques

spatial representation and knowledge
quantitative data - express spatial relationships
among people and among objects in an absolute
and often numeric manner,
qualitative information provides a “sense of
place”, to be site-specific or regional
Shum, 1990
route knowledge
direct apreension, individual perspective
map knowledge
indirect aquisition, mediated by representation

spatial apprehension and urban planning
1. direct apprehension, level at which vision is the
privileged sense;
2. complemented by analysis tools and documents as
photographs, maps, thematic mapping, physical and
digital models, GIS, RS, hypermedia apps
3. abstract representation field - mathematical
simulation models, aspects of urban structure or basic
quantitative relations among elements, cellular models,
dynamic models

spatial representation and knowledge
contextualized spatial reference may aid to
maintain social relevance at both levels of
representation, location and context, so that
locality can be imbued with meaning

city and digital spaces
traditional representations of social and
demographic data are still relevant
contemporary digital social networks begin to
play a structural role in society
new challenges for the construction of spatial
representations of society and its relations
urban planning needs to manage both “immobile”
and “digital flows”
20. 13th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2013), June 24-27 2013, Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam
city and digital spaces
access a services and
infrastructure mediated
by technology and
spatial representation
21. 13th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2013), June 24-27 2013, Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam
city and digital spaces
colaboration, specific urban issues

city and digital spaces
VGI, public participation
23. 13th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2013), June 24-27 2013, Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam
city and digital spaces
direct and indirect apprehension of space;
producer and consumer of information

final comments
Current social practices
present in digital media
culture are more self-
reflective and participatory
Social interactions of
everyday life are
permeated by technology
possible change in the
perception of context,
through social sharing and
a more dynamic
information integration

final comments
technological developments reconfigured the city
telephone, fax, television... web 2.0, 3.0 ...
apprehension and usage of urban space is
complemented by hypermedia computing
applications
geolocated information about services are made
available through portable devices
city as interface
28. 13th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2013), June 24-27 2013, Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam
final comments
social interactions related to urban space
mediated by spatial representations
information produced and shared by network
members
it becomes mandatory mobile devices to
access interfaces distributed in the urban
structure
digital spaces are no longer virtual
access to some facilities of the contemporary
city it is only possible to those who have the
technological means
29. 13th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2013), June 24-27 2013, Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam
final comments
representation can be dynamic
mobility of people, traffic situation, public
transport information or the flow in social
networks
information updated and modified by citizens
consumer and producer of geographic
information
30. 13th International Conference on Computational Science and Applications (ICCSA 2013), June 24-27 2013, Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam
final comments
information about space + information in space
geography and its representation as a way to
assign meaning to the data
it addresses important issues about the spatial
references's context and aggregates new social
meanings at local/global

future works
2. the way that people uses social media
contributes to achieve collective meaning about
the common good and to act in its defense?
1. to investigate how digital traces in DSN may
influence the perception and usage of urban space;
