A temporal visualization concept: A new theoretical analytical approach for the visualization of multivariable spatio-temporal data

Nowadays, temporal perspective of multivariable spatio-temporal data is focused in Geovisualization field to study global climate change, economic development, infectious disease etc. New methods are researched and developed continuously to support problem solving. However, much more new methods confuse the user as well. It is difficult for user to search and select proper temporal visualization method to using their data to answer their questions at hand. The gap between the professional Geovisualization and GIScience user become more even large. This research discusses a temporal concept framework (TCF) from visualization theory perspective and study user-demand from user perspective to bridge this gap.
