Cognitive Problems of Movement Maps in Salah al-Din governorate (Wind and Speed as a Model)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study attempts to represent the movement of winds in the form of maps that the reader can easily perceive. It is known that the climatic elements are constantly changing and it is difficult to quantify and control them, especially the movement of changing wind speed and direction. It is difficult to draw them in static maps without change. It changes from moment to moment, which prompted us to study this element and draw its movement and direction on maps, and (wind speed and direction) were represented on a kinematic map, represents the movement of this phenomenon within different time periods, explaining the cognitive problems facing the reader through the opinions of specialists in the questionnaire form that was distributed electronically to them in an attempt to identify the most prominent of these problems, where the study started with the question (Can kinematic maps represent the movement and direction of the winds be prepared? and do these maps face perceptual problems?). The study proved the possibility of drawing kinematic maps representing the movement of winds and their direction and comparing these characteristics during different time periods. The study found that there are cognitive problems because they are new and uncommon for map readers. The maps also faced design problems, the most prominent of which was the violation of global colors, in an attempt to increase their perception.
