20.500.12556/RUL-182928 Analytical and empirical evaluation of color schemes in temperature maps Analytische undempirische Bewertungder Farbschemata in Temperaturkarten The communication of weather and climate phenomena plays an important role in everyday life as well as in current debates. This article focuses on the representation of absolute temperatures in selected temperature maps from media and official sources. Its core objective is to analyze the usability of color schemes. An analytical and an empirical study were conducted to evaluate the usability of the color schemes. Specifically, the intuitive recognition of graphical sequence, association between values and meaning, differentiation of colors, and aesthetics were considered. Special emphasis was placed on users with color vision deficiencies. The studies identified several weaknesses in the color schemes—sometimes with contradictory findings, such as high subjective approval of readability versus poor effectiveness. These conclusions served as the basis for developing a new scheme to be proposed for future use. thematic maps usability color vision deficiencies color differentiation color association tematske karte uporabnost motnje barvnega vida barvno razlikovanje združevanje barv true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-05-28 11:49:06 2026-05-28 11:49:12 2026-05-29 04:37:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 125–137 Vol. 76 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 529.9 2524-4965 10.1007/s42489-026-00214-7 271561731 Schiewe,_Hamann,_Petrovic-Analytical_and_Empirical_Evaluation_of_Color_Schemes_in_Temperature_Maps.pdf Schiewe,_Hamann,_Petrovic-Analytical_and_Empirical_Evaluation_of_Color_Schemes_in_Temperature_Maps.pdf 1 68394C432EEFB84B8CBAEDE29D623124 13445fc6a3ed12de627e215c7ccbc7290549cd979e8be52bbf6e0c7c2710d6a4 8bad2e6d-5a7a-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234608 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42489-026-00214-7 1 25a0f58f-5a7a-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=234607 Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo 0 0 0
