“…Mental maps, also known as cognitive maps, were first used in migration research in the 1960s. Although arguably all maps are ‘mental’ in that their “design rests on the decisions of mapmakers” (Götz & Holmén, 2018, p. 157; see also Bjørn & Michael, 1987), mental maps refer not to fixed cartographic representations but to the imaginative ways individuals and groups understand spatial meaning in the world. Mental maps were initially employed in behavioural geography during the quantitative revolution, most commonly in urban planning and travel studies (Hannes et al, 2012).…”

“…The literature on land-cover/land-use classification generally subscribes to the notion of objective and universal classification schemes (see [34,35]). But the literature in critical geography has pointed out that classification schemes are necessarily social constructs, reflecting distinctions that are valued by the classifying agent [36][37][38][39][40]. A land-use map would therefore be more useful if it reflected categories of importance to multiple stakeholders [36,38,41].…”

A land-use map would therefore be more useful if it reflected categories of importance to multiple stakeholders [36,38,41]. The first step in land-use classification should therefore be to determine which classes are most pertinent to which social or policy concerns in a given context [42].…”

“…What historically was developed as a key tool of exploit turned into a global scientific standard that both wittingly and unwittingly does damage by favoring certain types of knowledge collection and presentation and marginalizing or dismissing others (Bjorn and Jones, 1987). Throughout history, some "alternate" mapmakers have tried to adapt.…”
