台灣網際網路地圖圖元設計之探討

近年來由於台灣地區網際網路的快速發展，電腦硬軟體的效率及功能越來越強，配合各類資料庫之建立，利用電腦資訊快速地製作出大量的電子地圖。但這些製圖者很多都不是專業的地圖學家，往往不知道該如何利用地圖圖元的設計原則有效地表達這些結果，故製作出很多設計不良的地圖。而網際網路的發展也增加了地圖新的功能，多少會影響一些原始的圖元設計原則。為了能有效地研究台灣地區網際網路地圖圖面配置的情形，本文從不同類型的網站中搜集了地圖樣本，以地圖學中圖元設計之理論和原則為基礎，兼顧網路科技的特性與發展，訂定配置變數的評估準則。採用直接上網觀察分析記錄的方式，統計出這些網路地圖比較傳統紙張地圖，明顯比較會忽略圖元的配置。故根據這些分析的結果，逐項探討各圖元之間的差異程度和原因，並找到完全沒有配置圖元或設計尚不夠理想的地圖，針對其缺失提出改善的途徑，供繪製網站地圖者參考。

In recent years because of the fast development of the Taiwan region Internet, the efficiency and function of the computer hardware and software is more and more strong, match with various database it establish, make use of the computer information to manufacture out a flood of electronics map quickly. But these maps a lot usually do not be a professional cartography to learn the house, usually do not know how to make use of the design principle of the map layout availably to express these result, manufacture out a lot so to design the bad map. And the development of the Internet also increased the new function of map, how much can affect some map layout to design the principle. For studying Taiwan web map layout design, this paper collected the map sample in different type website, learn with the map elements design it theories and principle for the foundation, look after both sides the characteristic and development of the network technology, establish to install the valuation standard of the variable. Adoption direct web observe analyze record to Excel sheet, statistics out the mow traditional paper map of these network maps, will neglect the layout design more obviously. Past according to those analytic results, the map elements study the difference degree and reason between each layout, and find that the completeness did not install the layout or design the still wit enough and ideal map, aim at its lose to improve method, provide to design the website map reference.
