Abstract

Because of the open data in public domains, it is easy to collect the public data. However, people find difficulty in visualizing the data in material that they actually want. Especially, A map is a difficult material to do the visualization work, without using the specific tools and learning. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed an interface tool for map data visualization that user can easily visualize various national statistics data on the map. We designed the interface by classifying the properties of the map systematically, focusing on the completion and convenience for making the map. After that, we developed a web-based application using D3.js. After user evaluation, we found that our application can visualize the map more quickly and completely than any other web interfaces for map data visualization. Users also found a higher satisfaction in operating convenience.
