Abstract

ABSTRACT For citizens, being aware of what is happening in their urban surroundings becomes challenging as more information from diverse sources becomes available. In this paper, we describe our user-centered approach of designing an interactive tool making use of urban data visualisations to facilitate people’s decisions about social and cultural events. After gathering the needs of urban actors through formative user studies, we identified beneficial data types and collected a variety of data sets from publicly accessible online sources. For the aim of enabling casual exploration of events in the city, we designed a set of geovisualisation prototypes and designed a variety of evaluative user studies based on established geovisualisation techniques. The main aim here is to enable casual exploration of events in the city more than the intended search for specific events. We developed two prototypes that make use of two different geovisualisations to represent events: Prototype A uses common location markers, and prototype B uses a novel glyph design to visualize more types of data at a glance. We share the lessons learned from the results of our study, which will inform the design of geographical data visualisations for citizens.
这个城市发生了什么?以用户为中心的地理可视化设计案例研究
摘要对于市民来说,随着来自不同来源的信息越来越多,了解城市环境中发生的事情变得很有挑战性。在本文中,我们描述了我们以用户为中心的方法,即设计一种交互式工具,利用城市数据可视化来促进人们对社会和文化事件的决策。在通过形成性用户研究收集了城市参与者的需求后,我们确定了有益的数据类型,并从公开的在线来源收集了各种数据集。为了能够随意探索城市中的事件,我们设计了一套地理可视化原型,并根据既定的地理可视化技术设计了各种评估性用户研究。这里的主要目的是使人们能够随意探索城市中的事件,而不是有意搜索特定的事件。我们开发了两个原型,它们使用两种不同的地理可视化来表示事件:原型A使用常见的位置标记,原型B使用新颖的字形设计来一目了然地可视化更多类型的数据。我们分享从我们的研究结果中吸取的教训,这将为公民的地理数据可视化设计提供信息。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
