摘要
The 31st International Cartography Conference (ICC) was held in Cape Town, South Africa from August 13 to August 18 in 2023. This paper first introduced the overview of the 31st ICC, the participation of Chinese experts and enterprise. Secondly, based on the technical reports during the ICC2023, new research hotspots of cartography were analyzed and summarized from eight aspects including the basic theory of cartography and technologies of cartography, map data, map products, and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) construction, public applications, sustainable development applications and historical and cultural ethics. We concluded some obvious hotspots that the traditional mapping fields have paid more attention to multi-element fusion mapping, user and scenario experience enhancement and rapid mapping capabilities; On the other hand, the emerging geographical information fields have focused on multi-modal ubiquitous sensing, big data fusion processing, artificial intelligence analysis, knowledge construction and services which have been deepened continuously; In addition, government agencies, scientific research institutions, industrial enterprises across the world have continuous passion on global, regional, national and urban sustainable development cartographic applications for resource management, ecological protection, social development. Subsequently, the new characteristics of map visualization methods from the award-winning maps were explored as well which incorporate more modern elements and cultural imprints, and emphasize people-map interaction. Afterwards, in the era of big data and artificial intelligence, the development trend of theoretical systems, technical methods and application services for cartography in the next few years are discussed. That is, the theoretical system of cartography becomes more professional and refined. In the era of artificial intelligence, the technical content of cartography becomes more knowledgeable. Cartography application services become more ubiquitous driven by big data. Cartography plays a more profound role in supporting the sustainable development of the United Nations. In the last place, some suggestions were put forward for the development of the cartography discipline in China. For example, in the future, we must make full use of the ICA international platform to continuously establish and improve a new theoretical system of cartography in the intelligent era, break through the key core technologies of cartography, and promote the high-quality development of cartography in our country with a global perspective. Meanwhile, we should pay more attention to the international frontier developments in important and emerging research fields such as geospatial data fusion, knowledge construction, spatial analysis, ubiquitous mapping, geographic intelligence, and data quality, and strengthen scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation between relevant domestic and foreign research institutions. A more proactive and proactive opening-up strategy should be implemented to promote the continuous improvement of the international influence of cartography research. © 2024 Science Press.
