Abstract EN

Cartography can be described as the science that is concerned with the map, its preparation, its representation, its design, and its output.

The geographer elicits all information related to natural and human phenomena on the one hand and on the other hand as an informational and cartographic source for setting and preparing geographical maps, whether they are general maps or objective maps.

Visually, it achieves effective cartographic communication with which it is easy to read, interpret and analyze it from the reader.

In this research, I will focus on the concept of cartographic communication, its elements and components, and the factors affecting the balance of the components of the map and achieving cartographic communication as well as reading the objective map to achieve cartographic communication and the practical stages starting from the stage Processing data up to the stage of realizing and understanding the content of the objective map and understanding it and clarifying the most important errors that fail to achieve effective cartographic communication in achieving optimal visual perception, and then addressing how to choose the best basic elements of the map and design it by choosing its digital forms using one of the GIS programs (Arc GIS).

10.8) and choose a set of templates from the master's thesis and framework The PhD provides thematic maps with different distributions of phenomena, as well as conducting a test on them using a questionnaire to choose the level of cartographic insight based on the cartographic test criteria and to reach results and analyze their conformity with the cartographic rules and foundations to be followed in the design of maps to achieve effective cartographic communication so that the map reader can perceive the map At its best.

Research problem: The research problem can be summarized as follows 1) Are geographers committed to using cartographic foundations and rules when designing thematic maps? 2) Is it possible to conduct a test for the map reader to find out the level of cartographic insight (visual perception) and whether it is effective or not? Research hypothesis 1) The researcher assumes that there are a set of cartographic foundations and rules that researchers must adopt when designing the objective map for the purpose of achieving cartographic communication between the future of the map And its sender.

2) There is a set of criteria that can be described (Jacques Bertin) by making the selection for the purpose of reaching the level of awareness achieved when seeing maps from its reader, and this leads to knowing the maximum perception of maps has been limited or vice versa.

To analyze the sample that was chosen by the researcher for the thematic maps that were designed in the letters and theses of Al-Mustansiriya University, as well as using the objective approach in mentioning the basic rules of design.
