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，并讨论未来该领域的可能和首选方向。结果可以分为四大类，包括国家基础地图的持续发展、制图的数字化、地图的使用以及日本制图在国际背景下的地位。在国家基础地图的制作中，我们讨论了日本领土在不同时期是如何绘制的，以及如何实现这一目标的各种情况。我们还讨论了与采用新信息技术相关的潜在好处。在关于制图数字化的章节中，对数字化空间信息和纸质地图进行了比较，以确定数字地图的好处，不仅在地图功能本身的背景下，而且从数字地图的存储和分布的角度来看。关于地图的使用，提出了目前使用专题地图的情况。除了通过书目研究这些地图在人文地理和区域研究中的潜在应用之外，还介绍了使用这些地图的其他方面。关于日本地图学在国际上的地位，通过对各大会发表的论文集的书目研究，将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。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从基础地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。地图制作者和地图用户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的二分法。这一领域今后的研究和技术发展应针对这些问题进行。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
