Essential Environmental and Spatial Concerns for the Congenitally Visually Impaired
Environmental design recommendations based entirely on sighted people's use and apprehension of environments frequently fall short of facilitating and supporting even the basic needs of visually impaired individuals and appear unlikely to assist the process by which they ordinarily experience surround ings. This discussion examines fundamental information needs of visually impaired individuals engaged in ordinary activities in immediate surroundi…
User Perceptions of Bi-Symbol Maps
Cartographers continue to be concerned with differences that arise between what a designer intends a map to communicate and what users perceive the map to convey. Symbol choice and presentation, in relationship to the process by which users apprehend maps, appear to be the core issues in this concern. This paper examines designer-user disparity within the context of perceptual and task-related responses to two-symbol map depictions of a single th…

On Laws in Geography
Although many geographers have discussed philosophical problems related to "explanation''and "theories''in geography, few have attempted to examine the question of the types of laws and their occurrence in the discipline. It is suggested here that at least five different types of laws may be formulated by geographers, such as Cross-Section, Equilibrium, Historical, Developmental, and Statistical. By following principles of logical reasoning about…
