الملخص	The space-time cube is a framework from time geography for representing and analyzing phenomena that move and change over both space and time. Two horizontal axes carry geographic location and a vertical axis carries time, so each observation becomes a point in a three-dimensional x–y–t volume and a moving object traces a continuous 'space-time path' through the cube. Introduced conceptually by Torsten Hägerstrand in 1970 and turned into a practical analytic and cartographic tool by Menno-Jan Kraak, it underpins modern spatiotemporal hot-spot and trajectory analysis.	Space-Time Kernel Density Estimation extends classical KDE into three dimensions — two spatial and one temporal — to reveal how the intensity of point events (crimes, accidents, disease cases) varies continuously across both geographic space and time. It produces a smooth probabilistic surface that highlights where and when events concentrate most densely.
