Geo-Temporal Visualization for Tourism Data Using Color Curves

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / For individuals in the tourism industry and other businesses, the department of tourism in the government, or the individuals who are planning a travel, the data of tourist population movement can be a valuable resource that can uncover insights that could bring more profit and more tourists, or make the trip more enjoyable. As visualization is an effective way of conveying information with multiple dimensions, we would like to visualize the geo-temporal floating population data of tourists and residents in Jeju island in the Republic of Korea in two-dimensional space. In this study, we introduce the two methods we have implemented for visualizing the geo-temporal data using color curves as the representation of time dimension. We use the dots as the markers of floating population, and each color of dots represents the 24 hours of a day. In the first method, we plot the colored dots directly on the map, thereby coloring the area the data represents. In the second method, we plot the same dots inside a semi-transparent circle divided into arcs that represent each month of a year. The user can compare the population of tourists and residents between the different times of a day, the different months and the weather conditions to analyze the floating population in the given area.
