3D Rhino Topography of Phnom Penh

Thank you to the students at the University of Houston who developed and shared a Grasshoper plug-in for Rhino which estimates the topography of Phnom Penh. The GHX begins with an image – in this case a color topographic map by Aruna Technology and Blum and posted originally here.

Hmm. Embedding isn’t working. Here are some screenshots.

 

 

Data Visualization Tools

Gapminder - Statistics like you’ve never seen them before, thanks to Hans Rosling. Gapminder creates moving bubble charts so you can track the progress of different countries over time. It includes a huge number of indicators pre-loaded into the system, so you don’t even have to go looking for data.

Tableau Public - A great tool for making interactive charts. Data can be displayed in a range of different ways (geographic maps, heat maps, bar charts, bubble charts, etc) and related data can be linked together. The finished interactive charts can then be shared online. Includes geographic maps for Cambodia.

Prezi - Actually a presentation tool, but can also be used to make zooming charts. WARNING: Excessing use of Prezi can cause motion sickness.

Many Eyes - Lots of simple online tools for making quick visualisations of both quantitative and qualitative data.

Help With The Phnom Penh Map Hunt?

If you are aware of other available maps then please e-mail me with the location, source or image file. 

This is a document containing all of the historic and contemporary print maps of Phnom Penh I’ve found during my research.

Mapping Phnom Penh

The goal is to expedite future research by streamlining access to these maps.

Once sourced, I will create a summary PDF containing all of the maps and referencing the available digital images on the Phnom Penh Spatial Dropbox (which also contains digital mapping resources: GIS and DWG).

I’m sharing in good faith – therefore please do not yet print or distribute – I’ll post everything I’ve found once it is revised.

Cheers,

Shelby

“Thanks to NEC’s Phnom Penh commune election result list, we  finally have the official communes forming Phnom Penh’s recently created 9th district, as well as the exact communes added to the other districts forming the edge of the capital. (red/pink = Meanchey; gray/green = Russei Keo; brown = Sen Sok; dark blue = Po Senchey; lime = Dangkao).”

Area based former Phnom Penh boundaries: 380.760 km2

Area based on latest Phnom Penh boundaries: 693.552 km2
