走路: 空間資訊的開始收集

人在時空兩個軸線上的變化, 群落在時空二個軸線上的變化....諸如此不斷延伸的研究, 將會是多麼好玩的事?! 文人在相同時間, 不同地理上, 描寫景物的結果, 加上心境不同, 是有著怎樣的面貌? 而不同地理空間的差異, 是否還會影響人的性格呢?其實有著更多細緻的元素, 值得玩味.

從文獻中看到有一個
The mapping of cultural traits from field data
的文化分佈空間資訊系統, 但是網址已無效, 另外找到應是原作者的網頁.
該篇文章的摘要:Geographical information illuminates many features of culture that cannot be seen otherwise. Higher-resolution mapping of cultural traits, now possible with computerized techniques, can open a new window on human cultural adaptation. It can look at where people live on a scale that is small enough to reveal the features of the environment to which their cultures respond. This article discusses the mapping of language in a rural area of Mexico. Much GIS technology has become so elaborate that it is not appropriate to cultural anthropology. The project described was successful because it developed and used techniques that were appropriate to the problem being studied and the situation in the field. The techniques can be used for other types of mapping projects. Keywords: GIS, geographical information systems, cultural anthropology, maps, peasant culture.
