Abstract

The Department of Geography at the University of Edinburgh has been contracted by the Scottish Development Department to produce a series of computer maps based on the 1981 Population Census of Scotland. A brief overview of the project will be delivered together with an outline of the problems and limitations encountered in designing maps for specific customers, who have little or no knowledge of computer cartography.
