Abstract:
The majority of Greek blind individuals are ignorant of the form and the characteristics of the country in which they live. The cognitive maps of Greece are insufficient and of limited extent. In this work the construction of a political and geophysical tactile map of Greece is presented. Our purpose was the designing and the construction of maps which will provide the blind user with the basic thematic and geometrical information that is portrayed on a map of Greece. One of the most important goals was the presentation of the shape of the continental and islander country. The presentation of the place of neighboring countries as well as the place and the size of urban centres and geophysical characteristics were equally concerned. The maps can be used as school aids in various courses, where providing of territorial information (e.g. history, geography) is required. They are printed in special microcapsule paper. The small size and the low weight of the tactile maps simplify their use and transport.
