Digital Humanities and Modelling the Spatial Dynamics:

Résumé

Context: In the current context, it is important to know the functioning and dynamics of the different arid regions of the world. Arid regions are captive water resources, they were mapped in 1979 by UNESCO from a complex database. Since then, the international scientific community has been calling for a digital map that integrates the interactions of the system's components. This interactive geographic information system will allow for a permanent update of the information. Problematic issues: The work presented involves modelling dryland dynamics as part of a geo-simulation approach to exploit available global data ("big data and data science" paradigm), with a view to making them accessible via the Internet in the form of a "digital and interactive" map of arid and semi-arid zones. The provision to the international scientific community and all decision-makers and social actors of a spatially referenced information system accessible on the Internet, which can be regularly updated to provide thematic maps in various formats. It is on the basis of the database resulting from the world map of arid zones drawn up in 1979 by a team of scientists, published by UNESCO, that the updating of the World Map of Arid Zones was considered. Indeed, after 30 years and at a time when questions are being asked about climate change, the international scientific community is expressing the need to update this map in the form of an information system on both environmental variables (soil, vegetation, climate) and hydrological variables, without excluding the population.
