Abstract
Four map formats, differing in chromaticity and extent of base are compared for readability in an urban planning context. To test readability a repertory grid procedure and derived measures were used. The composition of the sampies was based on seven biographical variables by analysis of covariance. Hypotheses with respect to the effect on readab?lity of map colour, but not of amount of base, were supported.Keywords
