Cartographic Generalization with PostgreSQL and PostGIS
PostgreSQL and PostGIS provide a variety of functions that can be used for PostgreSQL, with its spatial extension PostGIS, forms the basis for many web maps and is ideally suited for processing large data sets. Generalization is a PostgreSQL, with its spatial extension PostGIS, forms the basis for many web maps and is ideally suited for processing large data sets. Generalization is an essential part of map production and a core problem of cartography. PostGIS is particularly suitable for this application due to its large number of functions and its performance. The possibilities of the generalization through typification and more complex selection procedures are to be presented based on examples. The participants get a demonstration of how to generalize with PostGIS as an introduction. Afterwards, they can adjust provided snippets on their own device and discuss solutions for generalization problems. Please bring your own laptop with a recent QGIS version with you. We will provide internet access and a PostGIS server for all participants.

Map your holidays
In this workshop, we’ll get our feet wet into JavaScript land and build a 3D web map of our favourite trip. The goal is to learn some basics of web development while having fun mapping our holidays. We’ll start off with a web application template where we’ll add photos, descriptions, and data (as geojson). We’ll learn to tweak the code to change the basemap, the data symbology and the layout. Optional: at the end, we can publish the map on the web using GitHub pages (you’ll need a GitHub account [github.com]). If there is still time left, we can present our holidays to the other participants.
Prerequisites: no coding skills are required, but familiarity with reading/writing code will come in handy. We’ll use ArcGIS API for JavaScript for the mapping part. You need to have VSCode and nodeJS installed. Installing git and having a GitHub account is needed if you want to publish your web map as a web application. Think about a holiday you’d like to make a map of and bring any data or photos you might have.

Storytelling with Geographical Visualization
This workshop explores how we express and communicate a current issue to a wide audience by visualizing geographical data. After an introductory talk on the implementation of cartographic design principles in data journalism, pairs of participants will be given the task of devising a method for mapping a current issue using datasets, contextual maps, and drawing materials provided. After the activity, participants will be encouraged to feedback on their approach and discuss their decisions over the methods of representation chosen. The workshop provides an opportunity to discuss ways of visualizing data within the context of a current issue and by deliberately eliminating the need for technical skills in particular software. The workshop is therefore designed to maximise inclusivity (encouraging multinational and transgenerational participation) and to allow a greater focus on the process of creativity in exploring approaches to cartographic representation. The resulting maps from the session could be displayed at the main EuroCarto conference, where they would generate considerable interest and discussion.

Introduction to the visualization of geospatial data in virtual reality
Recent advances of virtual reality (VR) hardware and game engine software provide ways to quickly and easily create immersive VR environments. Cartographers can use these technological advances to visualize geospatial terrain and building data in VR-ready 3D models. This workshop will give a short hands-on introduction into the creation of such 3D environments in the Unity game engine based on geospatial data.
Please notice that attendees need to bring their own notebooks and install the following software before the workshop:
Unity Hub (https://unity3d.com/de/get-unity/download)
After the installation is complete, start the Unity Hub, select “Installs > Add” and install the “Recommended Release”
Blender (https://www.blender.org/download/)

Minority place-name standardization. A comparison of regulations and approaches in Europe
The workshop, organized by the Joint ICA/IGU Commission on Toponymy, is to discuss a research and book project with this title comparing such regulations in the countries of Europe with autochthonous linguistic minorities on the background of ethnic and linguistic structures, historical and political developments, the political landscape, governance structures, and external relations. Is minority place-name standardization part of the general standardization process or are there specific regulations? Is it a bottom-up or a top-down process and which administrative levels are involved? The book is also going to explain, to what extent these regulations satisfy linguistic minorities and help to facilitate the relations between majority and minority. As the country sections (Chapter 4) are to be delivered by the end of 2022 and the book is to be published by the end of 2023, the workshop offers an excellent opportunity to discuss the work in progress and coordinate it.

Disaster Mitigation & Risk Reduction for Cartography in Big Data Era
While providing data support for disaster mitigation and risk reduction, cartography using Big Data has brought new challenges. How to correctly and effectively collect, organize, store, process and analyze disaster big data in disaster management? How can the adaptive mapping technology of disaster emergency response achieve a clear theme, comprehensive content, rapid response and dynamic evolution to meet the multi-level needs in rescue? How to cope with complexity issues and abstraction levels that are adequate to actors, decision-makers and civil society organizations in support of affected people?
To find responses to these questions, we would like to comment and discuss the following topics in the workshop:
- Risk databases, risk information cross-organizational interoperability, standards development, testbeds
- Disaster Geospatial Analysis and Data Mining
- Disaster Big Data Processing and Sharing
- Disaster management and emergency preparedness, prevention, alerting, response and mitigation
- Risk and multi-risk cartographic issues
- Cartography supporting Humanitarian Missions
- Intelligent and self-adaptive Disaster Cartography
- Mobile Disaster Cartography
- Disaster Risk Analyses and Mapping based on Social Big Data

New Approaches for an Atlas on Sustainability
The workshop opens the discussion for new atlas concepts that aims to be understandable and usable for a variety of user groups. On the basis of short inputs and further interchange of ideas the workshop aspires to loosely formulate the structural outline and suggestion for content of an alternative and sustainable (!) SDG-Atlas, to be edited and compiled by the ICA Commission on Atlases (CoA), as one of their possible foci of work in the next years.
We hope to offer a hybrid event and cordially invite you to attend the workshop for free!

CartoHack #12 – Cartography beyond the screen
In this special CartoHack, we want to take spatial information to the next dimension. In a short presentation, Sebastian Meier will discuss how to use spatial information in rapid prototyping processes. How can we use spatial data to control a laser cutter, a 3D printer or a CNC-milling machine? Going beyond traditional spatial data representations and exploring artistic use of spatial information. We will conclude the workshop with a hands-on session, using a special web-based map tool to create unique posters and print them as a souvenir of this year’s EuroCarto.

PhD research workshop
Are you working on your thesis, dissertation or another research project? Or did you just finish something you would like to share? The workshop for next generation cartographers tries to provide a safe space for young scientists to share their work and connect with fellows. To participate, you don’t need to be a “traditional cartographer”. If you are working with spatial data, then you are in the right place. The focus of the workshop is on discussions and knowledge exchange between young academics.
