Abstract

The paper presents new approaches to the visualisation of origin–destination flows, in which all three basic parameters of flows between pairs of geographic objects are cartographically expressed simply and clearly: the length of flows, their intensity, and the proportional distribution of both directions between pairs of objects (polarisation of flows). The data on population movements based on mobile phone location are used as the input information, which were collected from the whole territory of the Czech Republic. Apart from the visualisation of origin–destination flows, the paper addresses the issue of the transformation of these data through the application of two different interaction measures. The transformed flows are also cartographically visualised and the functional regions based on the respective interaction measures are used as base maps.
