In this article, the concept is adopted for a user-centered design of geovisualization application. The premise is that using simple and clear design can lead to successful applications with improved ease of use. Over the last three decades, the development of GIS and geovisualization has seen a marked increase in the levels of interaction between the user, the system and the information. However, these enthusiastic advances in technology have not resulted in a significant increase in the number of users. This article suggests that types of user interaction should not simply emphasize traditional GIS functions such as zooming and panning but move towards interaction based on facilitating the knowledge construction process. Considerations are made for the complexity of the system, the task at hand and the skills and limitations of the users. These elements are particularly important when maps act as the mediators in collaboration with users across disciplinary backgrounds. In such cases, the emphasis on simplicity and usability becomes as important as functionality. In these situations a geovisualization application designed for specific uses can maximize effective development of geographic knowledge. In this article, a minimalistic design approach to geovisualization is adopted by creating a geographic profiling tool which shifts the emphasis from technological advances or interaction with the map to the interaction elements key to building the spatial knowledge of GIS experts and non-experts alike. To evaluate this notion of 'less-is-more geovisualization' the profiling tool is evaluated according to usability matrices: efficiency, effectiveness and learnability. How well the Suburban Profiler contributes to these elements is assessed by conducting a video analysis of the types and forms of user interaction available. The video analysis demonstrates the usefulness and usability of the Suburban Profiler, providing proof of concept for 'less-is-more geovisualization'.

The role of relevance and cognition in attention-guiding geovisualisation / O. Swienty in Cartographic journal (the), vol 45 n° 3 (August 2008)  

Public [article]  inCartographic journal (the) > vol 45 n° 3 (August 2008) . - pp 227 - 238 Titre : The role of relevance and cognition in attention-guiding geovisualisation Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : O.

Today, such a design task is subject to three major challenges: the ever growing amount of geospatial data at various levels of detail, the diversified applications of that data, and the continuously expanding range of display sizes. In this work, the aim was to enhance the visualisation of relevant geographic information by focusing on utility and usability issues of designing geographic information representations. The relevance of information as an element of utility and its cognitively adequate visualisation as an element of usability was considered. To enhance utility, irrelevant data was separated from relevant data by implementing relevance as a filter and embodying relevance values as attributes of the selected objects. To represent these relevant objects and the context information design principles were formulated and a design methodology proposed that tends to facilitate a user's attentional capacities when processing geovisualisations. In order to design this attention-guiding geovisualisation, use was made of approaches and findings from relevance theory and cognitive psychology with emphasis on neuroscientific principles. A combination of relevance filtering and a cognitively adequate visualisation improved the overall usefulness of geovisualisations and made a substantial contribution to their practical acceptability. This interdisciplinary approach allowed a more precise and valid evaluation of geovisualisation designs.

Good-practice example of a German regional SDI as a component of the future INSPIRE framework / H. Mueller in SaLIS Surveying and land information science, vol 68 n° 2 (June 2008)

Decisions most often have to be taken in the dimensions of space and time. Availability of integrated spatial information services is thus important for policymakers, planners, and managers as well as for citizens and their organizations, irrespective of where they are in the world. The strategy followed by the INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community) initiative is a valuable information source for the development of principles and procedures in spatial information management, particularly environmental management. The work done within INSPIRE can also be used to develop specifically adapted solutions for the spatial and environmental information management of urban agglomerations, the megacities. This paper describes a good practice example of a German regional SDI—the approach implemented by Rhineland-Palatinate. The web-based implementation of this regional SDI supports the aim of the INSPIRE directive, namely, improving the usability of spatial data compiled by different authorities. The outlined procedures help to clarify which kind of information has to be provided in which format so that it enhances the understanding of the complex interactions between human activities and their environmental impacts, which are crucial particularly in megacities. The solution presented in this paper, therefore, can be seen as a prototype of a practical realization of a feasible SDI, which can be generalized to larger urban areas.

Conveying geospatial public transport information on the World-wide Web: a review of the United Kingdom sources / R. Scrimgeour in Cartographic journal (the), vol 45 n° 2 (May 2008)

Searches for relevant websites were made at different geographical scales; the breadth of content covered and level of technology used was assessed for each site found. Public Transport Maps on each website were rated according to eleven aspects of cartographic design and Web functionality. It was found that interactivity (represented by the use of higher technology) was greater for websites giving Public Transport Information for larger areas; however, the majority of information was communicated through text or static maps. The use of colour and symbology was generally found to be good in Public Transport Web maps, but marginalia was often insufficient and hardcopy printing sometimes inadequate, limiting the usability of the maps. A number of guidelines for good practice in the production of Public Transport Web maps are suggested, stressing the importance of clarity and legibility, plus some comments on website functionality.

Automatic generalisation, required for the user's orientation in space, but also for progressive data transfer, will be an important aspect of the prototype. What is reported here is an effective and technically unique user research methodology, based on a combination of video observation, thinking aloud and semi-structured interviewing. The experiments that have led to this outcome revealed some interesting usability issues that deserve further investigation.
