MAP PROJECTION

2023
 Map Projections
Prinsipnya adalah mengubah permukaan lengkung menjadi permukaan datar,
akibatnya ada bagian2 yang melengkung akan terdistorsi saat diratakan.

The surface of the earth tears when you peel and flatten it. Peel a globe and you’ll get globe
gores (below). Most map projections stretch and distort
the earth to “fill in” the tears. The Mercator projection (bottom) preserves angles, and so shapes
in limited areas, but it greatly distorts sizes. Note the size of Greenland on the globe as
compared to the Mercator.

 What Map Projections Preserve
Didalam proyeksi peta tidak mungkin kita dapat mempertahankan LUAS, BENTUK, JARAK,
dan ARAH. Proyeksi peta HANYA dapat mempertahankan satu atau dua dari varibel diatas.
Kondisi ini menjadikan harus mampu untuk memilih proyeksi peta yang paling sesuai dengan
kebutuhan kita atau data yg kita miliki.

 Mercator projection
One of the few conformal world projections. Its distortions of sizes are nasty, and it is a poor
choice for a world map. Good for equatorial maps (below) where the area distortion is small. A
Mercator with the distorted north and south lopped off was chosen for the Voyager map. Also
good for maps of very small areas (below, right). Many detailed topographic maps are based on
the (transverse) Mercator.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

 Transverse Mercator

On the Mercator projection, scale is true along the

equator. When that projection is recentered sideways
along a meridian (or line of longitude), scale is true
along that meridian. This recentered projection is
known as the Transverse Mercator and is the basis
for the Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate
system. When areas a few square miles in size are
mapped using this projection, they are effectively
free of all distortion.

 Preserving Distance, Direction
Stretch a piece of string between two points on a
globe, and you will get the shortest distance between
the points (a great circle). Some projections preserve
such distance relations: a straight line between two
points on the map is the shortest distance between
those two points on the earth. Distance relations
cannot be preserved on equal-area maps. Direction
can be preserved on area-, shape-, or distance-
preserving map projections.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

The Geographic Coordinate System, aka the Geographic or Equirectangular projection, is
similar to the Plate Carrée projection. Invented by Marinus of Tyre in 100 AD, it “maps
meridians to equally spaced vertical straight lines, and circles of latitude to evenly spread
horizontal straight lines.” It is a common default projection for GIS software and internet
mapping sites, where it distorts the data mapped on it. This unpleasant item preserves nothing
but distance, principally for north-south measurements. It is used as a default for computational
purposes. Geographic location and image pixels are related in a simple manner that makes
drawing and redrawing world maps very quick. Because it is so pervasive, we are growing
used to its insidious lies and distortions.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

 Gnomonic projection
A straight line anywhere on a Gnomonic projection is a great circle route, the
shortest distance between two points. Terrifying distortions of area and shape and
the inability to show more than half the earth at a time limit other uses of this
projection.

Azimuthal equidistant projection

Planar (azimuthal) map projections preserve directions (azimuths) from their center
to all other points. The azimuthal equidistant projection also preserves distance. A
straight line from the projection center to any other point represents accurate
distance in addition to correct direction and the shortest route. Great for travel
agencies when centered on their city.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

 Poor for showing anything but distances
from a point. Areas and shapes are wildly
exaggerated as you move from the center.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

 Map Scale
The earth is big. Maps are
small. Map scale describes
the difference, verbally,
visually, or with numbers.
Map scale will be
determined by your goals
for your map. Map scale
affects how much of the
earth, and how much detail,
can be shown on a map.

 Ellipsoids and Datums
There are a diversity of ellipsoids that can
serve as an approximation of our earth.
Many were created to best fit the earth in
specific countries. Maps and data sets
based on different ellipsoids will not work
together.
A datum is based on a single common
point shared by the geoid (our imperfect
earth) and a particular ellipsoid. All spatial
relationships (locations, directions, scales)
derive from this single point. Maps and
data sets based on different datums will
not work together.
Ellipsoids, datums, projections, and
georeferencing systems combine in strange The World Geodetic System of 1984

 Unclassified cheme
To create an unclassified scheme assign a unique visual shade to every unique data
value. In essence, each unique data value is in its own class. Unclassified schemes
make complex and subtle patterns by minimizing the amount of generalization.This
map, due in large part to the concentration of counties near the low end of the range
of values, suggests that poverty is not a significant issue in most places, that the
number of people living in poverty is somewhat similar across the U.S., and that
there are few places with very high poverty.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

 Quantile Scheme
Quantile schemes place the same number of data values in each class. Quantile
schemes are appealing in that they always produce distinct map patterns. A quantile
classification will never have empty classes or classes with only a few or too many
values. Quantile schemes look great. The problem with quantile schemes is that they
often place similar values in different classes or very different values in the same
class. The map suggests that poverty is a significant issue in many counties, and the
numerous counties in the top (darkest) classes impart a rather ominous view of
poverty in the United States.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

 Equal-Interval Scheme
Equal-interval schemes place boundaries between classes at regular (equal)
intervals. Equal-interval schemes are easily interpreted by map readers and are
particularly useful for comparing a series of maps (which necessitates a common
classification scheme). Equal-interval schemes do not account for
data distribution, and may result in most data values falling into one or two
classes,or classes with no values. The map suggests that poverty is not an issue in
most places,as there are relatively few counties in the highest three classes.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

 Natural-Breaks Scheme
Natural-breaks schemes minimize differences between values within classes and
maximize differences between values in different classes. Class boundaries are
determined by algorithms in mapping software that seek statistically significant
groupings in a set of data. Natural-breaks schemes can serve as a default
classification scheme, as they take into account characteristics of the data
distribution. This map makes poverty seem more significant than the equal-interval
map does, but it is not quite as ominous
as the quantile scheme.

John Krygier and Denis Wood

 Unique Scheme
Class boundaries can be set by external criteria. A government program offers
special funds to counties with over 25% poverty. A two-class map shows which
counties qualify (and which don’t). The map below is classified for a study of
counties with very high poverty. The researchers are not interested in counties with
less than a 25% poverty rate. The remaining data are divided into classes that will
aid in the analysis of highpoverty counties. Excellent for the study, this scheme is
not good in general, as it suggests poverty is isolated and rare.
