Geospatial Big Data is a large-scale data set collected, stored, managed and analyzed in the geographical spatial dimension. These data usually include geographical location, spatial characteristics, geographical environment and other related information. Geographic big data is generated from various sources, including satellite images, geographic information system (GIS) data, telemetry technology, global positioning system (GPS) data, social media location information, mobile device trajectories, etc. The sheer size of this data is why it is called big data. Geographic big data has a wide range of applications, including urban planning, environmental monitoring, agricultural management, transportation planning, disaster management and other fields. Through the analysis of geographical big data, we can gain an in-depth understanding of geospatial phenomena and help make more informed decisions. A cultural map is a visual tool for displaying and understanding the cultural elements of a specific region or community. Such maps often include not only geographical information, but also cultural and social information. Through cultural maps, people can better understand the cultural characteristics of a region in terms of history, art, tradition, language, religion, etc. Cultural maps can be produced by local governments, academic research institutions, social organizations or individuals to promote cultural understanding, protect cultural heritage, and support cultural tourism and exchanges. This form of map helps preserve and pass on a region’s unique culture, while also providing visitors with a deeper cultural experience.
