Abstract

The structure of computational spatial analysis has mostly built on data lattices inherited from cartography, where visualization of information takes priority over analysis. In these framings, spatial relationships cannot easily be encoded into traditional data lattices. This hinders spatial analysis that emphasizes how interactions among spatial entities reflect mutual inter-relationships at a very basic level. With this limitation, landscape compositions and configurations can be appreciated further if a topologically and temporally enabled data structure is available. The aim of this research is to develop a data structure and its associated analytical methods to assess the connections and interactions of landscape elements through time and space. This additional layer of information will help us understand the dynamics of processes happening within and between components of landscapes.
