Creative Mapping of a Running Route in Urban Park Settings: A Pilot Study at Marina ParkCity Miri Sarawak Malaysia
摘要
This study aims to design a thematic map for Marina ParkCity, Miri, which needs a creative running route map using the GIS cartographic method. The proposed map was created using geospatial methods and tested for the map's effectiveness and practicality. The Miri City Council (MCC) recommended using the map from the Berlin Marathon 2010 to guide the map's creation. However, the Marathon map still needs improvement in cartographic elements and design principles such as legend, scale, and visual contrast. The respondents also agreed that the proposed map should be developed in the park, as it meets their criteria for a decent map design and practical needs, particularly for enhancing the runner experience and safety in the park. The study also recommends displaying distance and elevation information on the map for engaging and safe exploration.
