| Description | Emergency maps are traditionally created for three basic purposes: planning, evacuation, and crisis management. Keeping in mind the specifics of each purpose it is obvious that spatial data used for maps preparation and production must be differently visualized even for the same type of emergency (floods, wind storms, ...). Adaptive mapping is a promising cartographic methodology to deal with the changing demands of the first response team as well as other members of the emergency management group. A broad overview of adaptive cartographic attitudes is presented with a list of influencing factors. What cartographic techniques can be used? What types of contexts can be distinguished? How can contextual map services be implemented in a Web environment? |
