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，并讨论该领域未来可能的和首选的方向。将其归纳为国家基础地图的持续发展、地图学的数字化、地图的使用、日本地图学在国际上的地位等4大类。在国家基础地图的制作中，我们讨论了不同时期的日本国土地图的制作过程，以及与之相关的各种情况。我们还讨论了与采用新的信息技术相关的潜在好处。在关于制图数字化的一节中，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，不仅是在地图功能本身方面，而且是从数字地图的储存和分配的角度。 关于我们 - 是的关于地图的使用，介绍了目前使用专题地图的情况。除了通过文献研究将这些地图应用于人文地理和区域研究之外，还介绍了使用这些地图的其他方面。关于日本制图学在国际上的地位，通过对各次大会发表的会议记录进行书目研究，将日本制图学的发展与国际制图协会的一般趋势进行了比较，人们知道，除了传统制图所需的技能外，报告通常还包括“用户”的观点。这意味着地图制作目前正从基础地图转向专题地图制作，由个人用户设计地图以解决具体的空间问题。地图制作者和地图使用者的二分法正在向用户操纵交互式地图系统的综合地图制作转变。应针对这些问题开展这一领域的未来研究和技术发展。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
