In this article, we use eye-tracking methods to analyze the differences in spatial ability between geographers and non-geographers regarding topographic maps, as reflected in the following three aspects: map-based spatial localization, map-based spatial orientation, and map-based spatial visualization. We recruited 32 students from Beijing Normal University (BNU) and divided them into groups of geographers and non-geographers based on their major. In terms of their spatial localization ability, geographers had shorter response times, higher fixation frequencies, and fewer saccades than non-geographers, and the differences were significant. For their spatial orientation ability, compared to non-geographers, geographers had significantly lower response times, lower fixation counts and fewer saccades as well as significantly higher fixation frequencies. In terms of their spatial visualization ability, geographers’ response times were significantly shorter than those of non-geographers, but there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of fixation count, fixation frequency or saccade count. We also found that compared to geographers, non-geographers usually spent more time completing these tasks. The results of this study are helpful in improving the map-based spatial ability of users of topographic maps.

“…It has been adopted in cartographic studies since the 1970s [47]. Recent eye-tracking studies have covered a wide range of topics [48], such as map-usability evaluation [45,49,50], user visual behavior analysis [51,52], gaze-based map interaction [53], and spatial cognition [54,55]. …”

3D representations in applications that provide self-localization and orientation in wayfinding have become increasingly popular in recent years because of technical advances in the field. However, human factors have been largely ignored while designing 3D representations in support of pedestrian navigation. This exploratory study aims to explore gender effects on using 3D maps for spatial orientation. We designed a 3D map that combines salient 3D landmarks and 2D layouts, and evaluated gender differences in their performance during direction-pointing tasks by administrating an eye tracking experiment. The results indicate there was no significant overall gender difference on performance and visual attention. However, we observed that males using the 3D map paid more attention to landmarks in the environment and performed better than when using the conventional 2D map, whereas female performance did not show any significant difference between the two types of map usage. We also observed contrary gender differences in visual attention on landmarks between the 3D and 2D maps. While males fixated longer on landmarks than females when using the 3D map, females paid more visual attention to landmarks than males when using the 2D map. In addition, verbal protocols showed that males had more confidence while make decisions. These empirical results can be helpful in the design of map-based wayfinding enhancement tools.

To rapidly and clearly define the knowledge structure, research focus, and research trends in the field of ecological planning and design, the bibliometric method was combined with visualization tools to conduct a classified statistical study of 712 articles on ecological planning and design in the core database of Web of Science (WoS) from 1992 to 2017, making a contrastive analysis of information like the author, journal, research institution, country, keywords of those articles from three perspectives, namely co-authorship analysis, co-citation analysis, and co-words analysis. Three conclusions were drawn. First, academic exchanges and cooperation in the field of ecological planning and design should be strengthened between countries and scientific research institutions, especially China and its research institutions should actively participate in such exchanges and cooperation, and scholars are expected to seize the opportunities to cooperate with each other in research and practice in this field. Second, as developed European and American countries outweigh Asian countries in terms of research results and overall influence in the field of ecological planning and design, the popularity and influence of journals from Asian countries need to be improved, particularly as they study and report on ecosystem services. Third, as research on ecological planning and design become increasingly systematic, comprehensive, and humanistic, resilience has become a research hotspot in this field in recent years, thus enough attention should be paid to this aspect. Finally, the author hopes that the combination of visualization tools and the bibliometric method can foster enlightenment and research ideas among researchers and practitioners in this field.
