The º«¹úÂãÎè School ofÌýInformation Studies (SIS) and the (CIRMMT) Research Axis 4 (Multimodal immersive systems) are pleased to present a workshop on representation and visualization of human information in urban environments.Ìý

DESCRIPTION
This workshop explores ways to make meaningfulÌýrepresentations of qualitative or more nuanced quantitative data, like qualityÌýof life measures, inÌýGIS. Such representations could help urban designers andÌýplanners make better decisions about how to intervene in modalities where theyÌýdo notÌýhave suitable knowledge or expertise.
Ìý
The workshop will include a case study onÌýsoundscape, which is the idea that sound can be used as a resource rather thanÌýuniformly considered asÌýnoise. For example, how could I show that a particularÌýurban location is generally considered as having a good soundscape for outdoorÌýdining, andÌýcould even be improved by encouraging bird sounds or reducingÌýtraffic noise? Such a representation has to account for more complex contextualÌýissues, like time-of-day, demographics, and activities.
