  • .New Development of Spatial Explorer of Religion
  • This presentation gives an update on the progress of the spatial religion project, including an online spatial information platform for spatial analysis of religion. It discussed the information structure, methodology, and technology and demonstrated how space-time data of different formats and sources can be integrated, visualized, and reported in a web based system for religious studies. It also presented several case studies for the spatial study of religion and society and discussed some future directions.
  • .Spatial Studies of Religion
  • This presentation gives a report on the updated development of the spatial explorer of religion and related studies.
  • .Spatial Explorer of Religions and Society
  • Scholars, policy makers, and journalists are requesting comprehensive information about the geographic locations, religious services, and socio-economic environments of Chinese religions. As an effort to promote international collaborations on spatial studies of Chinese religions and society, a spatial information network for the studies of Christianity in China has been established by a group of scholars from several institutions in the U.S. and China. The objectives of the project include: (1) to establish a centralized information infrastructure; (2) to provide effective tools and technical support for interested users through spatial intelligence information technology; (3) to create an online research forum designed to promote information sharing and improve understanding of Christianity in China; and (4) to render comprehensive information about teaching, learning, and training on the studies of Chinese Christianity. This paper will present some preliminary results from the project, including an online spatial information platform, which will integrate data, methodology and research references for the studies of Chinese Christianity. The system allows easy access to comprehensive demographic, economic, and religious information in China as well as some online tools for spatial data analysis. It will demonstrate how space-time data of different formats and sources can be integrated, visualized, and reported in a web based system for religious studies. Some case studies and future directions will be discussed.

  • .Introduction to China Data Center
  • The China Data Center at the University of Michigan is an international Center designed to advance the study and understanding of China. A primary goal of the Center is the integration of historical, social and natural science data in a geographic information system, where spatial and temporal references are maintained through a relational database. This will facilitate comparative and interdisciplinary uses of the data, enable both non-specialists and China scholars to understand and utilize these data, and enhance knowledge of China. Its missions include: to support research in the human and natural components of local, regional and global change; to promote quantitative research on China studies; to promote collaborative research in spatial studies; and to promote the use and sharing of China data in teaching and research.
