绘制全球南部：Choropleth地图的区域投影
Mapping the Global South: Equal-Area Projections for Choropleth Maps
摘要：
Choropleth地图是用于呈现地理数据的最常见的可视化技术之一。这些地图需要等面积投影，但没有明确的标准来选择一个。我们与20位研究全球南方的社会科学家合作，他们对使用choropleth地图感兴趣，根据他们的研究任务调查他们的设计选择。通过问卷调查，我们要求他们设计世界地理分布图，并对他们的回答进行了定性和定量分析。研究结果显示，地图投影、中心、比例尺、色彩设计的选择，会受到个人研究目的与任务的影响。投影被认为是最重要的选择，平地投影是最常用的投影。我们的研究采取了第一个实质性的一步，调查投影选择世界choropleth地图应用可视化研究。
英文摘要：
Choropleth maps are among the most common visualization techniques used to present geographical data. These maps require an equal-area projection but there are no clear criteria for selecting one. We collaborated with 20 social scientists researching on the Global South, interested in using choropleth maps, to investigate their design choices according to their research tasks. We asked them to design world choropleth maps through a survey, and analyzed their answers both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results suggest that the design choices of map projection, center, scale, and color scheme, were influenced by their personal research goals and the tasks. The projection was considered the most important choice and the Equal Earth projection was the most common projection used. Our study takes the first substantial step in investigating projection choices for world choropleth maps in applied visualization research.
