Investigations have revealed that there is a lack of uniformity in the public information symbols used on tourist and recreational maps around the world. It is perceived that a need exists to develop a set of standardised public information symbols for this large group of map users. A range of theoretical and practical influences on the development of such symbols are examined to provide a sound basis for their design. As a result, a systematic procedure is proposed for designing public information symbols. To test this procedure, a study was completed to develop a prototype set of public information symbols for use with computer (raster-based) generated tourist and recreational maps. This set of symbols is organised around the following classification: accommodation, cultural features, entertainment, facilities, recreation, services, transport, uniques features and warnings. This prototype of symbols could form the basis of a standardised set of computerised public information symbols.",
