    Methods of usability evaluation of Web-based geographic information systems

  • Original language description

    Spatially influenced decision-making plays an important role in human lives. Suitable software tools can significantly support process of decision-making. Desktop geographic information systems (GIS) applications have been used by professional for many years, but they are not suitable for end users. Special kind of GIS applications, usually called Web-based GIS, is focused on end users, i.e. on casually working people who may have only a very limited knowledge of GIS, if any. Their computer literacy canbe very low as well. Design of Web-based GIS should respect this reality so applications should be proposed with a strong focus on their usability. This article deals with suitable methods of usability testing of Web-based GIS. Several usability problems identified during previously done usability testing are described. Recommendations, how to prevent usability problems, are provided in the end of the article.
