“…Thus, we also see emerging terms trying to capture such changes and the implications they have for map design and geovisualization-based knowledge construction, for example, participatory GIS (e.g. Jankowski, 2009), neogeography (e.g. Turner, 2006, collaborative geovisualization (e.g.…”

Over four workshops, we collected community input on what people considered as persistent challenges in geovisualization with the participation of 72 experts from various sub-domains of geographic information science and technology. We categorize and analyze this bottom-up input, and contrast it with the previously published research challenges based on five research agenda papers (top-down). We observe certain overlaps but also some interesting differences between the top-down and bottomup approaches. A synthesis of the two suggests three major issues as persistent challenges: (1) a better understanding of the scope of our domain, how it interacts with other domains, and how to make this happen, (2) a systematic understanding of human factors, (3) a 'practicable' set of guidelines that matches the visualization types to task types, and guides the practitioner to design geovisualizations that are appropriate and helpful to the user. Distinguishing persistent from important, we discuss why the identified challenges are persistent, and draw recommendations for action based on our observations and interpretations. We believe these findings will help building a stronger, bettergrounded research agenda for our community. RÉSUMÉEn quatre ateliers, nous avons collecté des données auprès de 72 experts de différents domaines des sciences et technologies de l'information géographique sur ce qui est considéré comme des défis persistants en géovisualisation. Nous avons classé et analysé ces informations ascendantes (bottom-up) et les avons comparées aux défis de recherche précédemment publiés dans cinq papiers centrés sur les agendas de recherche et qui constituent notre référence descendante (top-down). Nous observons certains chevauchements mais aussi des différences intéressantes entre les approches ascendantes et descendantes. Une synthèse des deux suggère trois problèmes majeurs comme défis persistants : 1/ une meilleure compréhension de l'étendue de notre domaine, comment il interagit avec d'autres domaines et comment susciter ces interactions 2/ une compréhension systématique des facteurs ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Researchers often call for LHDs to expand their use of GIS to include detailed mapping of public health services but fail to assess the barriers to doing so (Caley, 2004;Hanchette et al, 2005;Scotch et al, 2006;Dreidger et al, 2007;Studnicki et al, 2007;Kothari et al, 2008;Scotch, Parmanto, and Monaco, 2008;and Jankowski, 2009). We used the findings from the interviews to develop a conceptual model that illustrates how maps can be used to visualize and address the gaps between public health needs and LHD services.…”

“…LHDs are often encouraged to employ new technologies that will enable them to characterize existing and emerging needs in their regions and to identify potential solutions (Caley, 2004;Hanchette et al, 2005;Scotch et al, 2006;Studnicki et al, 2007;Kothari et al, 2008;Scotch, Parmanto, and Monaco, 2008;Dreidger et al, 2007;Jankowski, 2009). One such new technology, geographic information system (GIS) mapping, provides a promising tool for enhancing priority-setting and resource allocation.…”

“…In particular, the logistics and mechanisms provided for collective work by technology in general, and geospatial ones in particular, have been identified by other researchers in varying descriptions of collaborations between scientists, non-scientists, and the general public: "collaboratories" (or collaboration laboratories; Pedersen, Kearns, & Kelly, 2007;Wulf, 1993) and "geocollaboratories" (specifically "work by geographically distributed scientists about geographic problems" MacEachren et al, 2006, pg. 201), participatory planning and management (Jankowski, 2009;Kelly, Ferranto, Lei, Ueda, & Huntsinger, 2012;Voss et al, 2004;Wright et al, 2009), citizen science efforts (Connors, Lei, & Kelly, 2012;Dickinson et al, 2010;Dickinson et al, 2012), observatory networks such as National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON; Goodman et al, 2014), virtual networks for collaboration such as Geosciences Network (GEON; Gahegan, Luo, Weaver, Pike, & Banchuen, 2009) and Human-Environment Regional Observatory (HERO; MacEachren et al, 2006) and "action ecology" (White et al, 2015). Through these collaborative efforts, researchers highlight how advances in geospatial data and tools provide technical support for collaborations through facilitation of: (i) group use and development of technology (i.e.…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oTo solve current environmental challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, and rapid conversion of natural areas due to urbanization and agricultural expansion, researchers are increasingly leveraging large, multiscale, multi-temporal, and multi-dimensional geospatial data. In response, a rapidly expanding array of collaborative geospatial tools is being developed to help collaborators share data, code, and results. Successful navigation of these tools requires users to understand their strengths, synergies, and weaknesses. In this paper, we identify the key components of a collaborative Spatial Data Science workflow to develop a framework for evaluating the various functional aspects of collaborative geospatial tools. Using this framework, we then score thirty-one existing collaborative geospatial tools and apply a cluster analysis to create a typology of these tools. We present this typology as a map of the emergent ecosystem and functional niches of collaborative geospatial tools. We identify three primary clusters of tools composed of eight secondary clusters across which divergence is driven by required infrastructure and user involvement. Overall, our results highlight how environmental collaborations have benefitted from the use of these tools and propose key areas of future tool development for continued support of collaborative geospatial efforts.
