针对人口稀疏的农村地区在地图上占据过大空间、城市地区难以辨认的问题,以2015年英国大选结果为例,提出一种重新映射方法以平衡可见性与扭曲。

Abstract

A perennial problem when mapping demographic, social and other area-based data is that rural areas usually are of greater physical size than their urban counterparts. The consequence is that the places with fewest people dominate the map space, whereas those with the most are rendered small and illegible. A classic example is what happens if the results of the UK election are mapped, in this case for the 2015 election. As the left side of Figure 1 reveals, the outcomes for London visually are unintelligible.
