Σύνοψη	Dasymetric mapping is a cartographic and areal-interpolation technique that redistributes data reported for arbitrary administrative zones — such as census counts — onto more meaningful boundaries derived from ancillary information about where the phenomenon actually occurs. Instead of pretending population is spread evenly across a census tract, it uses land cover or land use to push people into the residential parts and out of lakes, parks, and industry, producing a far more realistic population surface while preserving each zone's reported total.	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.
