geographical dispersion of Istrian history-centric dark commemorative
events is still unknown, an additional mapping is needed. We follow the
methodological assumption that ‘scientific visualisation in general con-
stitutes a shift away from strict quantitative analysis,’ but is, however, used
to ‘increase reliance on qualitative sensory perception,’ which makes geo-
visualisation important not only for geography (National Research Coun-
cil, 1997, p. 65), but also for social sciences, e.g. the introduction of dy-
namic choropleth maps and cartograms. It enables the exploring of pat-
terns both spatially and over time (Elwood, 2010; Healy & Moody, 2014,
p. 122; Zinovyev, 2010).
As already discussed in this chapter, the integrative nature of a mixed-
method approach utilised in this cross-sectional research served to high-
light different viewpoints of the Istrian social reality in relation to dark
commemorative events. The multiple data collected and analysed using
