Research topics

Spatial cognition and Geographic Information Systems: acquisition of cognitive data, cognitive mapping, GIS application development (MapWindow, Visual Basic), position mapping transformations.

Recent or current projects

smallFOREST project: my contribution to the project seeks to collect, analyze and compare the perceptions of ecosystem services provided by forest fragments in 16 European sites in two groups of individuals (owners / managers of wood and neo-rural inhabitants). Data are collected from sketches and transform with position mapping transformations (multiquadric interpolation method) using the software RCE (Représentations collectives de l’espace), developed at the research unit Edysan.
