It formulates research objectives to identify broad political trends reflected in maps and to determine which map functions—cognitive, communicative, decision support, and social—appear across user groups and map types. The study grounds analysis in cartographic and political communication theories, then applies a user study design to examine user abilities and map-related shortcomings, concluding with implications and avenues for further research.",{"@graph":63,"@context":118},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":11,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/how-maps-have-been-used-towards-a-typology-of-map-functions/564788/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/how-maps-have-been-used-towards-a-typology-of-map-functions/564788.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Rhys","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-10-12",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":79},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104,110,114],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What is the main research aim of the study?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"To identify political trends across historical periods and examine whether these trends are reflected in the content of corresponding maps, while also relating map functions to political context.","Answer",{"name":111,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":112},"Which map functions are considered in the framework?",{"text":113,"@type":109},"The framework includes cognitive, communicative, decision support, and social functions.",{"name":115,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":116},"How does the study connect map use to political communication?",{"text":117,"@type":109},"It uses theoretical background on communication and political communication concepts, then evaluates map types and user groups through a user study to assess identification and function differences.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":78,"og:type":120,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":91,"og:description":61},"article",{"robots":122,"canonical":78},"index,follow",{"doc_id":124,"site_id":56},564788,1792403882,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":127},{"doc_id":124,"user_id":128,"nickname":88,"user_avatar":129,"doc_module":9,"category_id":8,"category_name":11,"doc_title":59,"doc_description":61,"doc_content":130,"file_id":131,"file_url":132,"file_type":133,"file_size":134,"view_count":79,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":9,"is_downloadable":9,"audit_status":9,"page_count":37,"language":135,"language_code":57,"site_id":56,"html_lang":57,"table_of_contents":136,"faqs":137,"seo_title":138,"seo_description":61,"update_tm":139,"read_time":20},687207024643,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_3d24733baf745e90a7e4bdd5f77d97b2","How Maps have been used: Towards a Typology of Map Functions  \nJulia Schiller  \n1  \nSupervisor: Univ.-Prof. Mag.
