Development Directions for the National Atlas of the Republic of Korea through a Comparative Analysis of National Atlases

정재준; 황철수 · 2017

Jeong Jae-joon and Hwang Chul Sue describe the Korean- and English-language three-volume National Atlas of Korea published in 2014–2016. Volume I covers territory and history, Volume II the natural environment, and Volume III the human environment. They credit the edition with broader thematic coverage, explanatory text alongside maps and graphics, more varied single-page and double-page layouts, and mapping techniques including cartograms and three-dimensional thematic maps. In their assessment, these changes improved readability and information delivery. They also identify limitations: the books’ size and weight reduce portability and accessibility, while restricted page space and a fixed classification scheme constrain responses to different readers and emerging social issues. On this basis, they recommend a more extensive, gazetteer-like print series, a digital atlas information system, regular online updates with explicit metadata, and permanent staffing and legal provisions for atlas production. These are proposals for future development.
