Also it was verified what user’s attributes influence the performance. To achieve this, a quantitative statistical analysis with a random user sample was held, with tests carried out remotely. Results showed that previous map experience and higher educational levels may influence positively the manipulation of the interface and that there is not a clear indication that the presence of the spatial analysis tools analysed had a positive influence on the tasks’ results. For the other side, users that choose to use these tools had significantly better performance than those who did not use them.

Detecting geometric conflicts for generalisation of polygonal maps / Wenxiu Gao in Cartographic journal (the), vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012) . - pp 21 - 29 Titre : Detecting geometric conflicts for generalisation of polygonal maps Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Wenxiu Gao, Auteur ; J.

Detecting geometric conflicts, existing within an individual polygon and between polygons, is a primary step for polygon generalisation. This paper designs an inward-outward-buffering approach to detect narrow conflicts within an individual polygon. The approach not only detects the existence of narrow sections but also indicates their exact locations inside polygons. Another approach is presented to detect proximity conflicts in between polygons with two main steps. The first step associates buffering with an optimized proximity index to explore possible polygon clusters and spatial contexts around a problematic polygon. Based on the detected polygon clusters, the conflict regions are identified by combining outward-inward-buffering with topological operators. The tests with a real landuse dataset and two maps from other papers demonstrate that the presented approaches not only detect geometric conflict effectively, but also provide useful information for the selection of subsequent generalisation operators.

Ferraris, the legend / K. De Coene in Cartographic journal (the), vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012) . - pp 30 - 42 Titre : Ferraris, the legend Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : K. De Coene, Auteur ; T. Ongena, Auteur ; F. Stragier, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp 30 - 42 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie ancienne [Termes IGN] Belgique [Termes IGN] carte ancienne [Termes IGN] dix-huitième siècle [Termes IGN] légende cartographique [Termes IGN] Pays-Bas Résumé : (Auteur) At the end of the eighteenth century, a large-scale map of the Austrian Netherlands and the Prince-Bishopric of Liège was manufactured, covering more or less the current territory of Belgium. The work for this Carte de Cabinet was carried out by artillerists under the guidance of count Joseph de Ferraris, who was commissioned for the task by the Habsburg government. At the time that the map was designed, no modern legend was included. This paper tries to fill that gap by presenting a legend that was constructed more systematically than any of its predecessors. It is based on the structure of the legend of the Topographic Map of Belgium and the CORINE land cover map, making it an easy-to-use tool for modern researchers. The problems encountered during the development of the legend are described, and the link between the Carte de Cabinet and eighteenth-century French cartography as well as with cartographic manuals is also discussed.

Semistatic Animation - Integrating Past, Present and Future in Map Animations / A. Nossum in Cartographic journal (the), vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012) . - pp 43 - 54 Titre : Semistatic Animation - Integrating Past, Present and Future in Map Animations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : A. Nossum, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp 43 - 54 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie [Termes IGN] carte statique [Termes IGN] cartographie animée [Termes IGN] cartographie dynamique [Termes IGN] intégration de données [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique Résumé : (Auteur) Visualisation of spatio-temporal information has been a challenge for cartography for decades. The earliest approaches focused on static visualisations, several of them with great success (Monmonier, 1990; Friendly, 2002; Tufte, 2006). With the digital age, dynamic and animated maps have become possible. Much work has gone in to the design and study of perception of both of these map types (Harrower et al., 2000; Midtbø, 2001a; Midtbø et al., 2007; Fabrikant et al., 2008) Several very effective animated maps have been developed and rigorously evaluated. Both static and animated visualisations have their distinct qualities. Static maps are able to provide the user with unlimited viewing time of the information, allowing the level of detail to be high. On the other hand, static maps do not have the intuitiveness of visualizing temporal information due to their inherent static nature. Animated maps are often more intuitive in their representation of temporal information. Displaying frames of information in rapid succession is perceived as more intuitive representation of the temporal information. However, the fact that the frames have a very limited viewing time often hinders the user from perceiving and gaining knowledge from the information (Harrower, 2009). There has been a sharp distinction between animated and static maps in cartography. Evaluation of either two has been following this distinction and often compared animated against static maps. In this article, we propose moving beyond the sharp distinction of animated and static maps by combining the qualities of both in one new representation method. To emphasize the concept’s qualities from both static and animated maps, we call this concept, semistatic animations. The core idea of the concept is to make all information visually available to the user at any given time of the animation. This allows the user to look both back and forth in the animation, while it is playing without interaction. The design draws inspiration from both static multiple map displays and diagram maps - qualities from both of these are integrated in an animated representation. A proof-of-concept implementation has been made using weather map animations. In order to assess the perceptual performance of the concept, a web experiment has been conducted. Realizing that the maps do not necessarily support all usage scenarios, a task-oriented approach was applied on the experiment. In total, the experiment included 240 participants. Results from the experiment revealed that the semistatic concept significantly increases the performance on several of the tasks compared to the equivalent traditional animated map. However, for some of the tasks, the semistatic approach did not improve the performance, or worsened it. This illustrates the importance of evaluating not only on a general level but delve further in different user tasks. The results obtained additionally motivates for further investigation of the semistatic concept as well as user behaviour.

The form of an idealized version of the unusual projection used in one of the maps dated 1580 is discussed and it is shown how it may be considered to be related to projections developed between antiquity and 1551. The precise form of Dee’s projection is investigated and the possible reasons why he adopted it are considered.

City maps versus map-based navigation systems - An empirical approach to building mental representations / Frank Dickmann in Cartographic journal (the), vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012) . - pp 62 - 69 Titre : City maps versus map-based navigation systems - An empirical approach to building mental representations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Frank Dickmann, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp 62 - 69 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie [Termes IGN] analyse comparative [Termes IGN] cognition [Termes IGN] géonavigateur [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] plan de ville [Termes IGN] représentation mentale spatiale Résumé : (Auteur) Navigation systems are increasingly taking on the role of classic print maps for orientation in traffic. These electronic aids help to find the right route, but they hardly seem to contribute to spatial learning and thus the formation of long-term orientation knowledge. A practice-oriented efficiency comparison of a print map in form of a conventional city map and a navigation device provides first insights. The empirical results show that taking propositional and analogue spatial information from navigation systems leads to much weaker effects on cognitive mapping.

Reasserting design relevance in cartography: some concepts / Kenneth Field in Cartographic journal (the), vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012) . - pp 70 - 76 Titre : Reasserting design relevance in cartography: some concepts Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kenneth Field, Auteur ; D. Demaj, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp 70 - 76 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie [Termes IGN] arts graphiques [Termes IGN] conception cartographique [Termes IGN] esthétique cartographique [Termes IGN] rédaction cartographique Résumé : (Auteur) Cartographers have always been concerned about the appearance of maps and how the display marries form with function. An appreciation of map design and the aesthetic underpins our fascination with how each and every mark works to create a display with a specific purpose. Yet debates about what constitutes design and what value it has in map-making persist. This is particularly acute in the modern map-making era as new tools, technology, data and approaches make map-making a simpler process in some respects, yet make designing high-quality maps difficult to master in others. In the first part of a two-part paper, we explore what we mean by map design and how we might evaluate it and apply it in a practical sense. We consider the value of aesthetics and also discuss the role of art in cartography taking account of some recent debates that we feel bring meaning to how we think about design. Our intent here is to reassert some of the key ideas about map design in cartography and to provide a reference for the second part of the paper where we present the results of a survey of cartographers. The survey was used to identify a collection of maps that exhibit excellence in design which we will showcase as examplars.

Reasserting design relevance in cartography: some examples / D. Demaj in Cartographic journal (the), vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 49 n° 1 (February 2012) . - pp 77 - 93 Titre : Reasserting design relevance in cartography: some examples Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : D. Demaj, Auteur ; Kenneth Field, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp 77 - 93 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartographie [Termes IGN] arts graphiques [Termes IGN] conception cartographique [Termes IGN] esthétique cartographique [Termes IGN] rédaction cartographique Résumé : (Auteur) While concepts and theories about design underpin the work of the professional cartographer, it is unrealistic for most map-makers to be cognisant of the plethora of techniques available to support excellence in design. In the second part of our paper to reassert the relevance of design in cartography, we present the results of a survey of cartographic experts drawn from the academic and professional world. The survey asked participants to present their top ten most expertly designed maps from throughout history. Here, we share the most frequently cited maps that emerged from that survey and describe why they exhibit design excellence. By showing map-makers a range of high-quality cartographic work, we aim to provide exemplars that demonstrate how design affects a map and expertly marries form with function. The techniques on display are well executed and create products that are both well suited to their purpose and have an aesthetic quality that invites people to take notice. They are all, in their own ways, beautiful examples of the art of design in cartography. We have deliberately avoided a 'top ten' approach and, instead, offer three examples in a range of map categories. The examples are neither definitive, nor exhaustive and should act as a starting point to explore design in cartography from those who have managed to set the bar high.
