Bilgi görselleştirme ölçütlerine ilişkin kavramsal bir çerçeve: İklim değişikliği görselleri için temel değerlendirme kriterlerinin belirlenmesi

There is a challenge to deliver effective designs on the climate crisis due to the complexity of the issue and the large volume of scientific data involved. To overcome this challenge, information visualizations are designed to help communicate complex data. Information visualizations, being data-driven, necessitate considering specific measures in addition to fundamental graphic design principles. This study investigates the communication of climate change through information visualizations, with the aim of determining the prominent measures and their interrelations within climate change context. In the preliminary study, exploratory interviews were conducted with expert designers to have an overall view on the use of measures in information visualization. In the second stage, five workshops were conducted with academics, design professionals and NGOs. Finally, to examine the relationship between the identified information visualization measures and the overarching goals of climate change communication, a survey was conducted with expert designers. A conceptual framework of measures is suggested where context specific measures such as actionability, enlightening capability, evoking curiosity, evoking emotions, localization, personalization and positivity are highlighted as measures in designing effective climate change visualizations. This study contributes to the fields of information visualization and communication design by offering a conceptual framework for information visualization measures for the context of climate change.
