现代网络制图技术增强了制图的叙事能力。在本文中,我们介绍了我们最近开发的一个网络地图工具,可用于从各种各样的社会经济和人口统计变量和指标中提取有趣的故事和独特的见解,这些变量和指标来自各种数据集。然后,我们使用三个策划的叙述表明,在线地图是互动的讲故事和可视化的有效方式,它允许用户定制自己的故事地图。我们讨论了最近关注叙事地图复兴的原因,并得出结论,我们的交互式网络地图工具,由数据资产提供动力,可以作为一个访问和强大的工具包,以确定各种社会和经济现象的地理模式的社会科学家,记者,政策制定者和公众。
Modern web mapping techniques have enhanced the storytelling capability of cartography. In this paper, we present our recent development of a web mapping facility that can be used to extract interesting stories and unique insights from a diverse range of socio-economic and demographic variables and indicators, derived from a variety of datasets. We then use three curated narratives to show that online maps are effective ways of interactive storytelling and visualisation, which allow users to tailor their own story maps. We discuss the reasons for the revival of the recent attention to narrative mapping and conclude that our interactive web mapping facility powered by data assets can be employed as an accessible and powerful toolkit, to identify geographic patterns of various social and economic phenomena by social scientists, journalists, policymakers, and the public.
