  1. SELAMAT KONGRES PERTAMA ASOSIASI KARTOGRAFI INDONESIA CIBINONG, 23 JANUARI 2003

  2. Recollecting The Cartographic Cartography Y. Sri Handoyo Cibinong, 23-1-2003

  3. DISCUSSIONS: A. Mission of the AKI B. The Questions C. Technological Advances and the Problems D. Some Approaches to the Solutions E. Conclusions

  4. A K I One of the Missions: • To advance and develope the cartographic science and technology for the members, through: • research cooperations, • trainings, and • human resources quality enhancements, and • at the same time organize the information • exchanges.

  5. THE QUESTIONS: • Research cooperations: what, which, why • (multi media digital visualizations, scientific cartographic visualizations, augmented maps, dynamic map handling, web cartography, ethnical influences on map designs, color optimizations on quantitative symbols, etc.) • Trainings: what levels, how deep • Human resources quality enhancements: training & education, scholarships • Organize the information exchanges: data, format, products (& how is the quality)

  6. Technological Advances and the Problems: Digital technologies in cartography are undoubtedly advancing! Speed processing, facilities, high visualization capabilities, dynamic-interactive, digital database, versatile, etc. Problems: Human resources are not well prepared so that there are many predictably unusual (even ugly) maps resulted which in turn becoming ineffective! (making maps without considering the cartographic principles, simply trying & error & instant design of maps).

  7. Approaches to the solutions: The facts from the digital cognitive cartographic research (Handoyo, 2002): The cognitive aspects and cartography are closely relevant and synthetically functioning as a strong guidance to map design & visualization 53 respondents were given the cognitive cartographic questionairs (consist of 6 factors), resulted in:

  8. The situation resulted: • Those 53 respondents were: • Educations: 39% High School Graduates, 21% Diplomas (significant, highest scores), and 40% Graduates (Bachelors & Masters) • Cartographic technician courses: 8% < 1 year, 41% 1 year, 13% 2 years (significant, highest scores), and 38% self study/learning (significant number, and may increase time to time) • Map design experiences: 13% < 1 year, 15% 1-2 years, and 72% > 2 years (significant, highest scores)

  9. The CONCLUSIONS: 1. The diploma educations need to be continued and developed, especially in digital cartography; 2. The cartographic curriculum at the graduate level of education must be reviewed and extensively improved accordingly; 3. The cognitive-cartographic approaches have to be promoted and applied to guide both map design & visualization and map use. A K I – Cartographers – Keep the Faith!
