Abstract
How does the enumeration unit size influence spatial pattern recognition in choropleth maps? User study
Highlights
On the other hand, in thematic mapping, especially in choropleth map design, cartographic generalization and pattern recognition play an important role as they help to preserve and convey spatial information (Maceachren 1982)
The effectiveness with which thematic maps communicate spatial information is reflected in previous research (Maceachren 1982)
It is often associated with map complexity, which is influenced by many factors, including the number of classes, the degree of autocorrelation present in the data, the choice of class intervals, and the shape and size of the enumeration units (Mersy 1990)
Summary
Abstract: The recognition and preservation of the characteristic elements of visualization are one of the fundamental principles of map design, especially in map generalization. In thematic mapping, especially in choropleth map design, cartographic generalization and pattern recognition play an important role as they help to preserve and convey spatial information (Maceachren 1982).
