“…As with other disciplinary influences, the footprint of geographic epistemologies in cartography only has grown with the possibility of interactive and online maps -a collection of information, maps, and technologies collectively described as the GeoWeb (Crampton, 2009;Haklay, Singleton, & Parker, 2008). Hybridized geographic/cartographic approaches have been vital in framing and theorizing the societal challenges related to emerging map practices and technologies (Leszczynski & Wilson, 2013;Ricker et al, 2014).…”

The possibility of digital interactivity requires us to reenvision the map reader as the map user, and to address the perceptual, cognitive, cultural, and practical considerations that influence the user's experience with interactive maps and visualizations. In this article, we present an agenda for empirical research on this user and the interactive designs he or she employs. The research agenda is a result of a multi-stage discussion among international scholars facilitated by the International Cartographic Association that included an early round of position papers and two subsequent workshops to narrow into pressing themes and important research opportunities. The focus of our discussion is epistemological and reflects the wide interdisciplinary influences on user studies in cartography. The opportunities are presented as imperatives that cross basic research and user-centered design studies, and identify practical impediments to empirical research, emerging interdisciplinary recommendations to improve user studies, and key research needs specific to the study of interactive maps and visualizations.

“…Cartographers and activists alike suggest that the digital tools available in the 'web 2.0' era -including volunteered geographic information, map mashups, and user-generated content -can help individuals and communities address deficits in what they know about their vulnerabilities to social and ecological harms (Elwood, 2009;Crampton, 2009;Haklay, Singleton, & Parker, 2008). By offering an 'exploratory engagement with content,' mapping 'apps' emphasize and legitimize the role of the amateur, redefining expertise and potentially allowing previously marginalized people to gain access to decision-making processes (Elwood & Leszczynski, 2013, 10).…”

“…All these applications have made maps more accessible to the general public. What is more, with the introduction of Web 2.0 and neocartography, the 'general public' can also contribute to the contents of these maps or create so-called mashup-maps based on available API's (Turner 2006;Haklay et al 2008;Crampton 2009;Kraak 2011;Roth & Ross 2012;Dodge & Kitchin 2013;Peterson 2014). The best known example of user generated contents (or Volunteered Geographic Information, VGI) can be found in Open Street maps.…”

Due to recent technological progress, maps have become more popular than ever before. This is especially true for young people, who interact with these technologies on a daily basis. Therefore, it is essential that these potential map users possess sufficient knowledge and skills to process the content of cartographic products. A user study was conducted during which pupils (aged 11-18 years) and geography students (>18 years) had to solve a number of cartography questions using topographic maps. The data were analysed statistically, taking into account a number of potentially influencing factors (user characteristics) on the participants' results: age, gender, youth club membership, knowledge about the area, among others. The results show a rising trend in the pupils' scores with increasing age, which can be explained by education in cartography at school. Geography students perform much better, but no influence of any other user characteristics was detected. For pupils, knowledge about the area and gender might be considered as influencing factors. However, the detected influence of gender depends on the scoring system.
