| Popis: | 102 The past sightseeing maps for tourists mostly took emphasize on drawing designs or icon designs. Whether the sightseeing map helps tourists move around effectively is not being elaborately designed. Therefore, this research hopes to find the factors that influence the circuitous movement by observing the tourists after they visit the Banqiao tourist area in person. The factors become references for future improvement on the sightseeing map design. Observations from the research show that: 1. Subjects often need to stop to confirm their target’s location and the ongoing direction by consulting the map. 2. Neither location signs nor explanation boards are available in the tourist area. 3. The sidewalks in the tourist area aren''t linked together. 4. Proceeding is difficult for parts of the sidewalk are obstructed by trash or other obstacles. 5. As for road signs or tourist signs in the tourist area, only metro exits provide signs that lead to bigger attractions; smaller attractions are without signs. 6. The map should include recommended tourist routes for those touring by foot. After analyzing our experiment results, suggestions are as follow: 1. Map with routes lets tourist linger in the tourist area longer and is helpful to develop a better sense of the local space. 2. Map with routes decreases the frequency of tourists stopping to check their ongoing direction or their destination along the way. 3. The establishment of spatial information and environment around sidewalk should be extensively developed. Hopefully, after considering the redesigned factors in map design, not only can tourists move more freely in the tourist area, but also promotes circuitous movements and tourism benefits. |
