Current Situation and Future Perspectives of the Horizon of 2010 of Japanese Cartogrphy

本研究的目的是评估日本地图学的现状，并探讨该领域未来可能和优先的发展方向。结果可分为四大类，包括国家基础地图的持续发展、地图数字化、地图使用和日本地图学在国际上的地位。在国家基础地图的制作中，我们讨论了不同时期日本领土的绘制以及实现这一目标的各种情况。我们还讨论了采用新信息技术可能带来的好处。在地图数字化一节中，对数字化空间信息和纸质地图进行了比较，以确定与数字地图相关的好处，不仅从地图功能本身的角度，而且从数字地图…的存储和分发的角度更有条理。在地图使用方面，介绍了围绕专题地图使用的现状。除了通过书目研究将这些地图应用于人文地理学和区域研究之外，还介绍了使用这些地图的其他方面。在日本地图学在国际上的地位的背景下，日本地图学的发展与国际制图协会的一般趋势进行了比较，通过各自会议上发表的会议的书目研究。众所周知，除了传统地图制作所需的技能外，报告通常还包括“用户”的观点。这意味着地图制作目前正在从底图转向专题地图制作，即个人用户设计地图来解决特定的空间问题。地图制图者和地图使用者的二分法正在转变为用户操纵交互式地图系统进行综合地图制作。今后应针对这些问题开展这一领域的研究和技术开发。较少

The aims of this research were to evaluate the current situation of Japanese cartography and to discuss the possible and preferred direction of this field in the future. The results could be classified into four general categories that included continued development of national base maps, digitalization in cartography, map use, and the position of Japanese cartography in an international context.In the production of national base maps, we discuss how the territories of Japan were mapped in the different periods and the various circumstances surrounding how this was achieved. We also discuss the potential benefits associated with the adoption of new information technology. In the section on the digitalization of cartography, comparisons are made between digitized spatial information and paper maps to identify the benefits associated with digital maps, not only in the context of map function itself, but also from the perspective of storage and the distribution of digital cartographic mat … More erial. For map use, the present conditions surrounding the use of thematic maps were presented. In addition to the potential application of these maps to human geography and regional studies through bibliographic research, other aspects of using these maps are also presented. In the context of the position of Japanese cartography in an international context, developments in Japanese cartography were compared with the general trends in the International Cartographic Association through bibliographic studies of proceedings published at the respective congresses.It is known that, in addition to the skills required for traditional map making, reports commonly include the point of view of the "user". This means that map making is currently moving from base map to thematic map production, where individual users design maps to solve specific spatial problems. The dichotomy of the mapmaker and map user is changing to one of integrated map making by users manipulating interactive mapping systems. Future studies and technical developments in this field should be conducted in response to these questions. Less
