Interactive Web Maps: Usability Heuristics Proposal

Abstract. With the evolution of technology, maps have changed how they are produced and consumed. In the 1990s, along with the internet uprise, printed and digital maps began to be shared and viewed on the web, which provided more significant user interaction with the map and geographic data. However, the ease of creating interactive maps using computational resources sometimes neglects cartographic concepts, impairing the interpretation of geographic data and the quality of the interaction between user and system. This work presents ten specific Usability Heuristics for Interactive Web Maps to identify and elaborate a set of criteria that help create and evaluate the quality of interactive web maps. For this, we used a methodology to develop domain-specific Usability Heuristics, composed of eight steps. This paper presents the ten heuristics elaborated along with the attributes of the name, ID, category and definition, and an additional checklist. This new set encompasses both the concepts of cartography and usability, contributing to better user interaction with the system and geographic data.

Research on the Construction Strategy of Landscape Architecture Space Experience Based on the Concept of Cartography

As a medium connecting landscape, architecture and city, cartography provides a new design tool for architectural painting and a new way of intervention in the study of landscape architecture space experience. This paper will analyze the development process of “Cartography”, mainly introduce the relationship with landscape architecture, extract relevant information, and explore the strategy of Cartography in landscape architecture space experience.

A preliminary study of geographical names research: Review of cartography education & research in Indonesia

Abstract. Geographical names research could be used to reveal the condition of the landscape. Many studies in the geographical names are arranged geographically, surveying geographical names in an area by compiling and analyzing historical spelling sequences to build the origin of etymological geographical names. The geographical names is inherent in human life from birth to death. The trend of geographical names research influenced by cartographic education. This paper aims to review cartographic education in Indonesia in order to reveal how geographical names research influenced by cartographic education. We reviewed many universities that held cartographic, geography, and geospatial education. A paper of geographical names research and cartographic research in Indonesia also examined. We concluded that cartographic education in Indonesia mixed in geography and geomatic study. The development of cartographic courses in universities influences the interest in geographical names study. Based on articles examined, the study of it in Indonesia is dominated by linguistics discipline. They used qualitative methods in their research. Though some of the articles based on the geographical perspective. On the other hand, the trend of geospatial research tends to the technological aspect rather than the concept of cartography. Thus geographical names research is rarely involved. However, with the implementation of geospatial information laws, One Map Policy, and government regulations regarding the geographical names would facilitate the rising of geographical names research. Several universities also opened a new study programme relate to the geospatial field.

So, Doctor, Now, What Do I Do?

This paper proposes a discussion about acting on the therapeutic relationship using the notions of playing and the "use of an object" formulated by Winnicott; the formulations of Ferenczi as the concepts of introjection and the "ability to feel with", as well as the concept of cartography from Deleuze and Guattari. It discusses how to manage the meeting with individuals who confront the analyst with sudden questions, gestures and actions. I propose that the management of the acting considers that there is a call for a conversation in which "doing" is in question, and in which the playful dimension of activities without rules is employed as a necessary option.

Using RPC Block Adjustment models for the accuracy of environmental research, cartography and geomarketing: a new concept of cartography

This paper presents rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) block adjustment model and its application as a new concept for the accuracy of environmental research, cartography and geomarketing. With the influence of information technology (IT) rapid development, Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing, the application of cartography, has gradually evolved from the form of paper into digitized and computerized data, from traditional formats such as vector maps into Satellite Image Maps (SIM). Particularly, remotely sensed images are a major data source to observe the earth and; have been extensively integrated into spatial–temporal analysis in environmental research. To effectively use high resolution satellite images for use in environmental monitor research, cartography and geomarketing, the accuracy of the satellite image photogrammetric process is an important issue. The aim of this paper is to apply the block adjustment of RPC models to evaluate the precision of satellite image for the use of environmental research, cartography and geomarketing, which is not found in previous literature. To verify the effectiveness of RPC Block Adjustment, this study also adapted Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to develop a questionnaire for conducting the implementation investigation. The results showed the method is useful and powerful for the various applications and research.

Cartografia: estratégias de produção do conhecimento

Este artigo trabalha o conceito de cartografia procurando propor um estilo singular de produção do conhecimento que desenvolve a ideia de expansão da vida cunhada por Espinosa. Inicialmente, nós criticamos algumas influências filosóficas de Platão e Descartes no campo das discussões metodológicas como ainda constituintes de modos de vida que tendem à homogeneização calcados na racionalidade moderna. Depois disto, utilizamos o pensamento contemporâneo de autores como Deleuze, Einstein, Heisenberg, Gödel e Prigogine para sugerir que a produção do conhecimento deve afirmar a heterogeneidade da vida, respeitando preceitos éticos, estéticos e políticos.

A cartografia no/do fazer pedagógico: saberes e práticas no espaço escolar

This text presents a discussion about the Scholastic Cartography and the use of cartographic resources in the process of teaching-apprenticeship of geographic concepts and themes, in the extent of initial years of Basic Education. It is a clipping of a research accomplished in three public schools located in the Queimadinha District, in Feira de Santana City – Bahia, in the year 2010, whose purpose was to analyse the way as six teachers utilize the cartographic resources to teach curricular contents of Geography. For the collecting of data semi- structured observations and interviews were accomplished and questionaries were utilized as methodological techniques. This study enabled to contemplate a reflection about the know-how of teachers about the concepts of Cartography and the use of cartographic resources in the extent of scholastic practices. It is possible to infer that the reported teachers presented difficulties on approaching the contents of Cartography in the teaching of Geography in the classroom space. Such difficulties are resulting from the professional formation, with implications in the teaching and apprenticeship process.

CARTOGRAPHY IN THE USSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, 1917–1991

The principal stages in the development of cartography in the USSR Academy of Sciences before and during World War II, as well as during the postwar period, are examined. Among the major accomplishments described are those involved in mapping of Russia's natural resources; the development of the principal branches of thematic cartography; comprehensive mapping of the Earth and individual countries in the form of comprehensive global and national atlases; and the development of new theoretical concepts in cartography and new scientific schools and directions in thematic cartography.

A STUDY ON THE CARTOGRAPHIC FUZZY MATRIX MODEL AND MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSIONS OF CARTOGRAPHIC TERMS

ABSTRACT On the basis of the research of the cartographic models made by the authors some years ago, this paper further studies the establishment of cartographic fuzzy matrix to make the concepts in cartography e. g., selection, deletion, mapping generalization and image tranformation, into some precise mathematical expressions.

Typology, Functions and Production Technology of Cartographic Products in Nigeria

This paper examines the typology, function use, production expertise and technology of cartographic products; and their societal relevance in Nigeria. The result show that maps are produced by different sorts of professionals, and the method of map production is still largely manual. The influence of modern technologies is still not yet significant. Nevertheless, digital cartography is gradually making an impact, especially in the petroleum oil industry. It was found that 76% of the cartographic products are produced manually, whilst 24% are produced by automated and semi-automated cartographic processes. Functionally, amps and spatial data are used in various fields and for different purposes. A variance analysis showed that there is a strong structural relationship between typology and functional use of cartographic products in Nigeria. At the organisational level, however, this relationship is not valid in public and private mapping agencies. It is believed that these findings will form an important contribution to the research efforts of the ICA Commission on Maps and Spatial Data Use, and will also form a useful contribution to the development of theoretical concepts in cartography and Geographic Information Systems.

ON THE ESSENCE OF THE LANGUAGE OF THE MAP

The author continues development of his concept of cartography as the “language of the map,” an earlier paper of this subject appearing in translation in M.S.R.S., 1985, No. 1. Although the term language has been widely used to describe cartographic communication, current theory fails to incorporate aspects of the language which provide for a comprehensive understanding of its structure and function. In particular, the language of the map and its symbolic elements cannot be explained reflexively by methods and rules of symbol and map design, since these elements were developed not before but after the existence of the language. The language of the map thus is proposed as the mechanism which provides for replicability or duplication in the way a system of mapmaking-map use functions (under diverse conditions, purposes, historical periods, and levels of training of users) through its different methods, models, and norms.
