论文摘要
Choropleth地图是用于介绍地理数据的最常见可视化技术之一。这些地图需要等于面积的投影，但是没有明确的标准选择一个标准。我们与20位对全球南方研究的社会科学家合作，有兴趣使用唱片地图，根据他们的研究任务调查他们的设计选择。我们要求他们通过一项调查设计世界唱片，并在定性和定量上分析他们的答案。结果表明，地图投影，中心，规模和配色方案的设计选择受其个人研究目标和任务的影响。该投影被认为是最重要的选择，相等的地球投影是使用的最常见投影。我们的研究迈出了在应用可视化研究中研究世界唱片地图的投影选择的第一步。
Choropleth maps are among the most common visualization techniques used to present geographical data. These maps require an equal-area projection but there are no clear criteria for selecting one. We collaborated with 20 social scientists researching on the Global South, interested in using choropleth maps, to investigate their design choices according to their research tasks. We asked them to design world choropleth maps through a survey, and analyzed their answers both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results suggest that the design choices of map projection, center, scale, and color scheme, were influenced by their personal research goals and the tasks. The projection was considered the most important choice and the Equal Earth projection was the most common projection used. Our study takes the first substantial step in investigating projection choices for world choropleth maps in applied visualization research.
