In this article, we present how, using the example of research studies connected with the perception of a landscape, some structured methods of data production used primarily in cognitive anthropology can be applied along with the possibilities of data analysis visualization using geographic information systems. We show the process of working with data gained by qualitative techniques and transferred, using semantic domain analysis, to the GIS interface, and outline the room for interpretation opened up by such a multilevel approach using various tools. Although we subjected the described procedures to pilot verification in our own research, the connection of the presented methodological approaches is still open to scientific discussion and, above all, to further experimentation.

The aim of this research is to make a map of mangrove forest distribution and to know the dynamics of mangrove forest distribution in the coastal area of Tobelo, North Halmahera Regency. The method used is descriptive quantitative and data analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with ArGis 10.6 software. The research data were processed from the base map and Landsat 7 imagery data for the period 2000-2020. The result of the analysis shows that there is a change in the distribution of the mangrove coastal mangrove Tobelo within 20 years. In the Landsat 7 level 1 image data, from 2000-2015 the mangrove forest experienced a lot of reduction, while in 2020 the mangrove forest on the Tobelo coast experienced an increase compared to previous years.

Plague of small ruminants (PSR) causes enormous economic damage to sheep and goat breeding. Mortality and lethality rates reach 100% of the total number of sick animals. The main materials for recording and analyzing the epizootic situation in foreign countries were: statistical data from the OIE yearbooks for 2007–2019. Cartographic data analysis was carried out using software known on the market for geographic information systems, QGIS, ArcGIS Decktop 10.4. A retrospective cartographic analysis of the epizootic situation of plague of small ruminants in the world in 2007–2019 showed that in 2017 the infection was registered in Mongolia (4 outbreaks, 1661 cases), in Israel (2 outbreaks, 34 cases), in China (2 outbreaks, 288 cases). In 2018, plague of small ruminants was registered in 7 countries of the world: Algeria, Bhutan, Bulgaria, Burundi, China, Israel, Sierra Leone. Algeria reported 6 outbreaks and 30 cases, Bhutan 1 outbreak and 1 case, Bulgaria 7 outbreaks, 28 cases, Burundi 8 outbreaks, 7395 cases, China 6 outbreaks, 1,757 cases, Israel 3 outbreaks, 560 cases , Sierra Leone – 7 outbreaks, 649 cases. As of December 2019, there were 10 outbreaks and 208 cases of small ruminants’ plague of in Israel, 99 outbreaks in Algeria and 3,139 cases, as well as 1 outbreak and 179 cases in Libya. By the retrospective analysis, it has been established that the nosoarea of the PSR pathogen is extremely widespread in many continents of the world.

This chapter introduces the topic of Perceptual Dialectology (PD), an area of sociolinguistics concerned with how nonlinguists understand dialectal variation. The chapter provides a brief history of the field and explores the ways in which the perceptions and language attitudes of nonlinguists have typically been elicited in research conducted within the modern tradition of PD with a particular focus on mental maps. Additionally, this chapter identifies ways in which these methods have been improved upon, specifically through the use of geographic information systems (GIS) tools. As an illustration of both the typical tools used in PD research and these recent advances in data analysis, a research project on the perceptions of dialectal variation within and across the state of Kentucky is presented.

Abstract The paper presents a review of contributions to the scientific discussion on modern methods and tools for public participation in urban planning. This discussion took place in Obrzycko near Poznań, Poland. The meeting was designed to allow for an ample discussion on the themes of public participatory geographic information systems, participatory geographic information systems, volunteered geographic information, citizen science, Geoweb, geographical information and communication technology, Geo-Citizen participation, geo-questionnaire, geo-discussion, GeoParticipation, Geodesign, Big Data and urban planning. Participants in the discussion were scholars from Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the USA. A review of public participation in urban planning shows new developments in concepts and methods rooted in geography, landscape architecture, psychology, and sociology, accompanied by progress in geoinformation and communication technologies. The discussions emphasized that it is extremely important to state the conditions of symmetric cooperation between city authorities, urban planners and public participation representatives, social organizations, as well as residents.

Methodological Approaches

The article discusses the issue of air traffic safety in the context of aircraft combat readiness. Implemented methodological approaches to ensure security of civil and military aviation depend on the achieved level of safety The article points out selected aspects of data analysis in the field of flight safety gathered in IT systems functioning in civil and military aviation supporting the management of flight safety. Selected aspects of data analysis with different tools influencing the safety of flights are presented. The article also points to the role of the inspection functions and supervision at the stage of execution of normative acts on safety and conduct of flights and the implementation of projects to ensure flight safety. The development of projects firstly preventing air accidents is mentioned as an important action to support flight safety. Increasing level of flight safety in civil and military aviation requires searching for methods to support decisions and actions. The main aim is to develop such methods to support decisions which minimize the risk of errors.
