Data Analysis and Visualization Tools for GeoHumanities
Betul Czerkawski
Issues and Trends in Learning Technologies, v10 n1 p3-7 2022
GeoHumanities is an interdisciplinary field, which combines geography, arts, and humanities. At the intersection of these three disciplines, GeoHumanities' purpose is to use space, place, landscape, and environment to tell the stories of cultures, nature, and heritage of various ethnic groups. The GeoHumanities Forum at the Royal Holloway University (2021), GeoHumanities is a relatively new field of study. It incorporates similar humanities fields, such as environmental humanities, spatial humanities, and urban humanities under its umbrella. At its core, GeoHumanities uses geographic information to address of the questions posed in the humanities fields. As geographical information systems (GIS) and data visualization tools advance they become an integral part of scholarly research endeavors. GeoHumanities is also evolving into a field where data-driven approaches are commonly used by scholars. This paper is a review of digital tools available to the GeoHumanities scholars and to evaluate what degree these digital tools may support the investigation of various social science, humanities questions, and issues via visualization techniques.
