Exploring the Influence of Colour Distance and Legend Position on Choropleth Maps Readability

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper describes design and results of an experiment, which was aimed at exploring the influence of colour distance and legend position on map users' ability to correctly interpret choropleth maps. Participants of the experiment were asked to find depicted area on the choropleth map and match it with the corresponding legend class by its colour. Experimental stimuli cover five levels of colour distance between neighbouring classes of choropleth maps (?E00 = 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) and six different legend positions within the map sheet. The colour distance was determined by the method CIEDE2000. Results of the experiment were based primarily on analysing the accuracy of answers, and analysing duration of fixations in defined areas of interest. Researchproved that increasing colour distance has a positive influence on the ability of users to interpret choropleth maps correctly. Legend position was not found to be significantly important factor of map readability. It was also proved, tha
