A User-Based Study on the Graphic Parameters of Pictorial Symbols for Tourist Maps
Modern web and tourist maps use pictorial symbols to help users quickly and easily identify Points of Interest (POIs). Pictorial symbols are sometimes misinterpreted due to poor design choices. As a result, it is important to evaluate pictorial symbols with map users. This paper uses an online questionnaire to examine how different graphic parameters—such as frame outline, frame background, frame shape, color hue, and pictogram category (semantic…
POI Symbol Design in Web Cartography—A Comparative Study
This paper studies the design of point symbols on widely used online maps and apps that portray tourist points of interest (POIs). Tourist maps are among the most commonly used types of maps nowadays. The ease of travel leads to an ever-increasing demand for tourist maps. Therefore, appropriate map design, content and technical means are necessary for better information transfer and communication between the map and the user. Online maps and apps…
Assessment and Visualization of OSM Consistency for European Cities
Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) is a widely used data source in various fields and services, such as environmental monitoring, disaster and crisis management, SDI, and mapping. Quality is a critical factor for the usability of VGI. This study focuses on evaluating logical consistency based on the topological relationships between geographic features while considering semantics. It addresses internal (i.e., between thematic layers) and ex…
Critical Point Detection Using the Length Ratio (LR) for Line Generalization
This article presents a review of existing methods for the detection of critical points cited in cartographic and computer science literature. Moreover, a theoretical assessment of algorithm validity with regard to cartographic representation demands is carried out. A method for the detection of critical points using the length ratio (LR) index is introduced, based on geometric principles. Four lines (three geomorphologic and one arbitrary) selec…
The Ability of Elementary School Children to Analyse General Reference and Thematic Maps
Physical maps with hypsometric tints, political maps with a monochromatic background, large-scale maps for younger students, and small-scale maps for older students, as well as maps with a limited number of thematic layers, are the predominant map forms found in elementary school textbooks in both Greece and Cyprus. The ability of elementary school children between Grade 3 and Grade 6 to analyse map content on these types of maps is investigated …
Is GIS Technology the Present Solution for Creating Tourist Maps
In the process of creating a tourist map, six basic parameters must be considered: the purpose and duration of the visit, the amount of information that needs to be included in the tourist map, the user's culture and conceptual ability, and the various characteristics of the portrayed area. Unsuccessful consideration of these parameters in traditional tourist maps reduces their functionality. This paper discusses the above concepts, and introduce…
