Sensory Mapping: A New Methodology in Geography

Résumé

The paper’s aim is to show the methodological and epistemological challenges associated with a novel approach to analysis and dissemination of results in the field of geography: sensory mapping. The author will provide a reflective examination of her methodology for understanding sensory relations (bodily, sensory and emotional experiences) with spatial environments. The paper will illustrate the impact of integrating sensory experiences into geographical studies to improve the understanding of sensory spatiality. Based on her case studies on sensory relationships with the land, the author will argue that the geography of the senses necessitates a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative, qualitative, and sensory data. This exploration of sensory relationships to space has prompted the author, in collaboration with a research engineer, to develop a new sensory mapping technique. This innovative method facilitates the combination of spatial data (such as land use and GIS data), visual data (including photographs), and audio data (such as sound recordings) into a unified mapping framework. The paper will emphasize the potential for data interoperability that this method provides, as well as its significance for scientific communication. The interactive nature of this sensory map enables the cross-representation of geographical and sensory data, making it accessible to both academic audiences and the general public.
