If you haven’t heard about the story of the #30DayMapChallenge, I encourage you to watch Topi Tjukanov talk about it himself: NACIS 2021 Topi Tjukanov. Also check out the official website: #30daymapchallenge.
The idea is to create maps based around different themes each day of November using the hashtag #30DayMapChallenge. This was my first year participating and I knew that I wouldn’t have the time to make many, but I was excited to give it a swing nevertheless.
Day #1:
While clearly not the best map I’ve ever made, I wanted to do something meaningful and in the current local news. I had recently talked with a friend from Poland who had “regained” his hope in democracy when nearly 75% of the population turned out to vote. The story seemed a stark contrast to the situation in Bulgaria. What happens when about 20% of the vote in certain provinces aren’t counted? (Source: Избори без машини. Как невалидните бюлетини “спечелиха” вота за общински съветници в Плевен и Пазарджик.)
Day #2: Lines
Here is the product of a simple arcpy script that takes a set of points (cities) and calculates the nearest features (hospitals) and edits symbology accordingly using arcmpy.mp.
Day #3: Polygons
Here is an incredibly quick map of Amsterdam, which literally means in Dutch “The Dam on the River Amstel.”
Day #7: Navigation
Day #15: OpenStreetMap.
A round of applause to all those who contribute!
Day #17: Flow
