Using web-based technologies to better understand and present temporal variations in access to public services

This poster summarises ongoing research into methods of representing geographical data that improve user comprehension of findings from GIS-based analysis. This research focuses on how the latest developments in data analytical and visualisation techniques might be used to enhance user interpretation and understanding of the outputs of GIS-based analyses concerned with investigating access to services. Furthermore, by analysing both traditional and emerging data visualisation techniques, this work aims to highlight how the latest developments might be applied to support end- users when analysing their data. Future research will evaluate potential drivers for the wider adoption of such tools and investigate possible reasons for user apprehension and possible reluctance towards embracing these new approaches.
