This flashcard set delves into advanced geographic data visualization techniques for university-level students. It focuses on mapping methods like flow maps, point and line data representation, and symbol scaling, emphasizing how to effectively convey quantitative and qualitative information. The flashcards cover various types of maps, such as dot density maps, proportional symbol maps, and flow maps, along with their design principles and visual variables like color, size, and texture. This set is invaluable for geography students and researchers looking to master the art of data visualization in cartography.

Lernkarten

lines, qualitativ

visual variables:

- size (Autobahn vs. Quartierstrasse)

- color hue (z.B. aktuelle Verkehrslage, rot - grün)

- texture (Kantonsgrenze vs. Gemeindegrenze)

different lines for different types of roads

qualitative flow maps

WAS? Wo?

z.B. Windströme, Meeresströme

lines, quantitative

visual variables:

- size

- color hue

- color value

different lines for different magnitudes

absolute data/ total values

quantitative flow maps

WIE VIEL? Was? Wo?

z.B. Verteilung Güter, Fliessrichtung, Bewegung -> Hauptströme ablesbar

 

Flow Map Types

- radial: klares Zentrum, nach aussen

- network

- distributiv: Verteilung über Raum, Abzweiger (eine Quelle spaltet sich auf)

Legende beinhaltet qualititive Farbunterschiede & quantitative Abstufung

Flow maps, design issues

- use color value/hue to avoid visual clutter instead of using line size

- increase figure/ground contrast: flow sits visually on top, small flow lines cut larger ones

- choose appropriate projection to support flow patterns

- include arrows if direction of flow is important

- include comprehensive and unambiguous legend

points, qualitative

visual variables:

- shape

- color hue

- orientation

- texture

different points for different types of features

Was? Wo?

points, quantitative

visual variables:

- size

- color value (hue)

different points for different magnitudes/features

absolute data/ total values

proportional point symbol map = graduated symbol map = Diagrammkarte

meistens Kreise, aber alle Formen möglich

Was? Wo? Wie?

unclassed (jeder Wert repräsentiert) / unclassed (Werte in Klassen)

point symbol types

- mimetic/ pictorial: characteristics of represented feature/ imitate as small picture/ graphically linked to represented feature

- associative: hints on nature of presented feature

- geometric: no similarity to represented feature, abstract, arbitrary

point symbol scaling

1. area of symbol proportional to data being mapped (circle: A = Pi * r2 -> Stadt A 4x grösser -> Radius nur 2x grösser)

2. range graded scaling (data classed, each class with representative symbol, scaled to midpoint of class)

3. psychological scaling (Wahrnehmung, Unter-/Überschätzung -> Power Law Function (siehe Bild)

 

Dot density map

Streuungskarten, z.B. Bevölkerung

Fokus auf Dichte

- one-to-one: 1 Punkt = 1 Event

- one-to-many: 1 Punkt = Magnitude

Vor-/Nachteile dot density map

+ einfach

+ zeigen Dichte

+ Zugriff auf Ursprungsdaten

- von Hand sehr mühsam

- mit Computer random
