Cartography Geography Geovisualizatiions urban structures land uses urban structure models urban growth urban management Latin American cities San Salvador Santa Tecla This thesis analyzes the urban structure development of two Latin American cities through an interactive longitudinal visualization of the Salvadoran cities of San Salvador (the capital of El Salvador) and Santa Tecla. To what extent is a hypothetical model relevant to either of these two cities? How can a longitudinal, interactive visualization assist with an comparative analysis of the relevance of urban expansion models to the development of San Salvador and Santa Tecla? Can such a visualization contribute to the delineation of urban expansion policies for these cities? Archival files and maps were digitized and vectorized to create animated urban evolutions for each city. These geovisualizations were compared to the hypothetical models presented by Borsdorf, Bähr, and Janoschka (2002) in order to assess their relevance. The analysis indicated that the urban structural development of each city was more complex and differentiated than the theoretical model, findings richly supported by the geovisualizations. If combined with more specific annual land use data, these visualizations can also be useful for guiding urban management. 2009-04-27 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1230049656 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1230049656 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
