Abstract
This study presents an attempt to design geographical visualisation tools that allow
to tackle the immensity of spatial data provided by Volunteered Geographic Information
(VGI), both in terms of temporal and spatial aspects. In accordance with the assumptions
made at the conceptual stage, the final action was the implementation of the window entitled
‘Geovisualisation of the Panoramio.com Activities in District of Poznań 2011’ into the web
browser. The concept has been based on a division of the geovisualisation window into three
panels, of which the most important - in order to capture spatial variability - have statistical
maps at the general level (dot map and choropleth map), while at the detailed level - a dot
map on a topographic reference map or tourist map. For two ranges, temporal variability
is presented by graphs, while a review of attributes of individual activities of the social
website in question is set forward in the table panel. The element that visually interlinks all
of the panels is the emphasised individual activity.
