| Description | In recent years, cartographic research has placed increasing emphasis on the study and evaluation of the process of communication of information between the map and the user. Increasingly, cartographers deeply consider the practical usability of their products, the target group of users, and possibly the methods by which these aspects can be monitored and evaluated. This interest in the professional cartographic community has been also emphasized thanks to numerous activities of the International Cartographic Association, which established aspects of user research in cartography as one of its action goals. |
