<p>The RAM Colloquium is a forum for discussing the latest research in the field of geospatial information science and adjoining fields. Invited speakers will report on their recent and ongoing work and provide an outlook on major lines and challenges ahead
in their respective fields. This time, Dr Alenka Poplin, Assistant Professor at Iowa State University, will deliver a talk entitled mapping and modelling evocative places. You will find the abstract below and attached. Do not hesitate to forward this message
and the attached PDF invitation to your PhD students, colleagues, and anybody who might be interested in the talk and discussion.</p>
<p>We look forward to lively participation and discussion!<br>

<p><b>Abstract:</b></p>
<p>This presentation concentrates on mapping emotions and well-being evocative places; places at which people recharge and feel at peace. Paper-map and digital-mapping experiments were conducted in Hamburg (Germany), Ames and Grinnell (Iowa), Vitória, and Belo
Horizonte (Brazil). The data about the characteristics of the self-selected evocative places and emotions felt at these places resulted in the Conceptual Model of an Evocative Place (CMEP). The model provides four categories with which places can be described
including physical attributes, experiences, senses, and values. The presentation concludes with a discussion on the challenges of mapping emotions and future research.</p>
