“…Aesthetic considerations have, according to Hullman et al [43], been under-explored in many efficiency-motivated studies. If the visualization is appealing, the likelihood is that we will be positively attuned to the content, even though the aspects of visual appearance and information are unrelated [44]. Aesthetic considerations are also important for improving the readability of a visualization.…”

With a growing interest in environmental data and the need to consider various environmental factors earlier in the planning processes, it becomes more important to disseminate this type of information to different target groups in a comprehensible way. To support easier decision making, many cities and municipalities are increasingly using digital city models where it is possible to integrate different types of information based on simulation and visualization of future scenarios. Such tools have high potential, but the visual representation of data still needs to be developed. In this paper, we investigate how professionals within urban planning currently use visualization to communicate environmental data, and what their needs are regarding tools and visual representation. We discuss challenges for representing environmental data in urban development processes, with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of these issues. We base our investigation on a literature study, an inventorying survey and a focus group discussion with professionals within urban planning. This study provides an end-user perspective among urban planners and valuable insights on tool usage and visualization. Results show that applications used for environmental visualization still can be improved regarding, e.g., user friendliness and information handling, which may increase their efficiency.

“…This is because the aesthetic appeal and human preference for 3D scenes may prolong users' patience [54] and thus keep management staff more attentive/engaged. As well, communication may be enhanced [55]. Therefore, this design approach should be explored for its potential use in CM data analysis applications similar to what has been done for advancing the use of visualization of geometric data of 3D product models.…”

“…• The use of visual attributes such as color, texture, orientation and shape in information visualisation (infovis) to convey the proper information in maps [24]. • The attributes of shape through the study of its component dimensions and the cognitive underpinnings that support the suitable use of shape for categoric, quantitative or other kind of data [25].…”

The e-Library on Ancient Spanish Cartography has been created inside the frame set by the European Union about the Europe's digital cultural heritage to give a response to the real demand among citizens and within the research community. With this aim we have applied the most advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) to make ancient Spanish maps and views accessible through Internet. On a first stage we have built a relational multiformat and multilingual database that included high resolution images of the cartographic documents and that supported the online accessibility structured by levels. This platform has been recently improved by implementing an open GIS based on the data sets of the e-Library. GIS tools have enlarged the usability of the system as the traditional geolocation searches are now completed with the queries based on maps' georeferencing. The GIS on Ancient Spanish Maps suggests a new concept in digital map libraries.
