Multifunctional electronic map of a region as an alternative to its integrated electronic atlas
Journal Title: Вісник Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка, серія «Географія» - Year 2016, Vol 64, Issue 1
Abstract
The article is devoted to the justification of principles of multifunctional electronic maps of the region as an effective alternative to its integrated e-atlas. The authors of the publication proved that at the present stage of development of software and hardware geoinformation mapping in thecomputer environment can function static and interactive electronic maps and atlases. The article discloses the essence of the concept of “interactivity” in relation to the works of cartographic content which are implemented as electronic design, determined by the principles of organization of the system where the goal is achieved by information exchange of its elements which are all components of the process of interaction with other systems / person (the user). The current work also provides author’s definition of multifunctional interactive map. This is a dynamic electronic cartographic work, which laid the functionality of the formation of the maintenance of the totality of the in the legend of elements (layers or indicators mapping) the image view in a certain display mode, the formulation and implementation of inquiries, obtain the necessary information from the database in an explicit (or implicit). It forms the basis to the current needs of the user. The authors specify the applicable technological solutions for practical creation of interactive maps based on the functionality of existing software: flash, geographic information systems (GIS) and GIS visualization as the last species. According to the substantiation of authors the versatility of interactive maps is provided mainly through the use of GIS capabilities. The standard functions of interactive maps are identified by the authors as following: a combination of (a display) of content elements (mapping parameters) in accordance with the requirements of the user by drawing samples / query based on the on-screen interface means (due to submitted legend), search capabilities of information database with its updating in real time; a changing of the view image scaling and performing of the formation of the required content of the resulting load mode; navigation and search services with opportunities paving the optimal route, a conducting of the corresponding dimensions on landscape maps of operations and analytical constructions; the existence of hyperlinks to jump to the additional funds, and other necessary information. The authors of the publication specified the advantages of the interactive maps compared to the corresponding complex satin electronic developments. By the authors, it must be taken as the prospective studies which are oriented to the formulating theoretical and methodological foundations of the proposed development of cartographic products with substantiating of implementation of appropriate opportunities in the existing technological solutions.
