报告简介：

This talk explores how cultural ideas can be examined through spatial data. Geo-cultural informatics is presented as an approach that connects qualitative understanding with quantitative analysis to study how cultural norms, practices, and spatial orders are expressed in the built environment. It demonstrates how concepts drawn from social and cultural theory can inform spatial indicators, mapping, and modeling, enabling culture to be studied empirically without losing its interpretive depth. Through selected examples, the talk outlines ways to translate cultural reasoning into analytical form, offering a perspective on how meaning and measurement can jointly advance spatial research.

报告人简介：

Dr. Yair Grinberger is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Geography at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research lies at the intersection of geoinformatics, spatial data science, and human geography. He investigates how spatial data and computational models can be used to understand human behavior, social systems, and cultural landscapes. His work spans mobility and spatio-temporal analysis, agent-based modeling of urban crises, geo-cultural informatics, and the study of collective mapping initiatives such as OpenStreetMap. Through projects addressing informal settlement morphology, spatial representations of culture, and the dynamics of individual and organizational mapping in OpenStreetMap and their societal impacts, he seeks to connect spatial computation with interpretive and humanistic inquiry. In parallel, he develops computational approaches for modeling complex urban and epidemiological systems using machine learning and simulation methods.
