“…Where VR operates can unveil rich insights into the wider socio-technical ecology and the relations which contextualize that experience. Digital visual technologies have become tools for capturing, presenting, and disseminating geographical knowledge and data (Ernwein, 2020;Offen, 2013). The use of 360 cameras offers a mobile form of data collection, documenting and presenting information-rich environments amenable to detailed situational analysis.…”

Whilst virtual reality (VR) has a long history, recent technological advancements, increased accessibility and affordability have seen its usage become widespread within western consumer society. Despite the relevance of VR to Geography, these more recent developments have escaped scholarly attention. This paper takes a critical perspective on the development of VR and its varied applications, and how emerging theoretical debates within cultural and digital geography can critically attend to the social and cultural implications of VR technologies. The paper begins by considering how VR spaces are imagined and communicated to publics in ways that promote popular understandings of, and desires for, virtual spaces. Next, the paper critically addresses the cultural politics of VR content, particularly drawing attention to the socio-spatial differences evoked through VR. The paper goes on to argue for the need to consider VR through the concept of interface as a way of critically attending to the broader techno-socio relations and the embodied spatial encounters they produce. Finally, some methodological implications for thinking with and through VR are outlined.

El presente trabajo analiza la importancia de los geoportales históricos para la apropiada diseminacióndel patrimonio cartográfico. Este incluye los artefactos producidos por la cartografía en el pasado. Muchosde estos son frágiles y su conservación se realiza mediante digitalización. Sin embargo, el patrimonioes cultura y por lo tanto no solo debe almacenarse sino también compartirse. El público debe conocerlos bienes patrimoniales para que estos puedan transmitir cultura. En este contexto, es necesaria lacreación de medios que efectivamente permitan el acceso a los mapas antiguos digitalizados. El objetivode este documento es analizar el valor del patrimonio cartográfico y explorar medios para diseminarloefectivamente. Para ello, se presentan varios proyectos desarrollados en Europa para la diseminacióndel patrimonio documental y en particular cartográfico. Esto último a través de geoportales históricos.Diversas instituciones europeas han creado bibliotecas digitales y geoportales históricos. Mas aún, se hadesarrollado una biblioteca centralizada para acceder a los contenidos de numerosas instituciones delcontinente. Si bien, en Iberoamérica se ha creado un proyecto similar, este es limitado al no presentarlos mapas con las funcionalidades requeridas en un geoportal histórico. Se concluye que la creación degeoportal histórico para los documentos históricos del Ecuador permitiría al público conocer mejor elpatrimonio histórico edificado y fomentar así su gobernanza.

“…There are some quantitative studies that have been carried out, including analyzing historical demography [20], the changes of urban structure, and land use from the past to the present age [21,22]. On the other hand, the number of studies on historical geography using the geographic information system (GIS) has risen in recent years [23][24][25][26]. However, these studies did not focus on human mobility.…”

In recent years, surveys of personal travel behavior have been conducted around the world and these surveys have been used for understanding the characteristics of people flow. However, it is impossible to acquire people and traffic flows for the modern era . In modern era Japan, some traffic surveys were conducted, and that records still persist. The purpose of this study was to estimate origin-destination (OD) flows in old Tokyo in 1925 based on the historical traffic census record. In this study, OD flows were estimated using an absorbing Markov chain model, which is a simple model based on traffic generation and transition probabilities. Transition probabilities in unobserved nodes were estimated using genetic algorithms (GA). The result of OD distributions is clearly different in the eastern part of Tokyo City, the Shitamachi area, from the western part, the Yamanote area. The traffic was very busy in Shitamachi, an area which included terminal stations and a central business district. In Yamanote, major traffic generation and absorption points were distributed along the main streets to the Shinjuku or Shibuya areas. These results are affected by the distribution of main roads and the locations of residences or workplaces of car owners.
