实施《国家环境政策法》的指导方针规定，环境影响报告书（eis）应使用“适当的图形”。我们检查了图形的一个组成部分，排版，从文献中确定适用的标准，并将其应用于由七个机构准备的150个eis。我们发现eis在排版质量上差别很大。平均而言，环境影响报告书满足的标准不到10项中的7项；12%被认为是不可读的。结果表明，弱排版可能会严重限制公众对电子期刊的评论。鼓励各机构将排版作为其公众参与计划的重要组成部分。
Guidelines for implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act state that environmental impact statements (EISs) shall use “appropriate graphics.” We examined one component of graphics, typography, identifying applicable criteria from the literature and applying them to 150 EISs prepared by seven agencies. We found that the EISs ranged widely in typographic quality. The average EIS met fewer than seven of ten criteria; 12% were considered unreadable. The results suggest that weak typography may seriously limit public review of EISs. Agencies are encouraged to make typography a serious component of their public participation programs.
