2. Geo-Visualisation as a sense-making tool
3. The importance of context
1. Project overview
How can Parks Victoria better utilise the knowledge it's staff have?
Geo-knowledge project
Geo-knowledge project
Currently, valuable park specific knowledge, obtained by rangers through years of experience, is inaccessible to other rangers and vanishes completely when rangers move on.

How can we retain and disseminate this knowledge?

Knowledge is subjective
'Knowledge' implies a 'knower', and does not exist outside social contexts and human interactionKnorr Cetina (2000), Seely Brown & Duguid (2000) and Ackoff (1989)
(Geo)Visualisation
Geovisualisations = geovisual analytics
Geovisual analysis, through the employment of highly interactive interfaces, focuses on the human elements of interface interaction and data exploration
Fabrikant & Lobben, 2009
The importance of context
Social objects are the core of social interactionKnorr-Cetina (2000)
Visualisations as Social Objects
Visualisations, through interaction and interface design, become social objects.
Visualisations as Social Objects
...and enable a shared understanding to be reached.
Visualisations as Social Objects
Locations have different meanings for different people
Rangers
Space is the raw location, minus context
Place arises through interactions with space
Can we use "place" as context to knowledge?
Studying interactions with space
Studying interactions with space
Interpreting qualitative data to inform context
Hoping to uncover...
An understanding of "place" - as different rangers see it.
The relationship between people, knowledge and location.
