Question

what could this map be used for?

Answer 1

this is what i have for information the can be gathered:

What the systems of roads and rivers in Rome look like and locations of national forests

but i need to know possible uses. it's not detailed enough for a tourist map...

Answer 2

that can be gathered*

Answer 3

if there's other information that can be gathered, let me know please :)

Answer 4

It does tell you famous locations, and route numbers (i think- those blue rectangles with numbers on them)

Answer 5

oh those rectangles are famous locations? i didn't know that..

Answer 6

no, the rectangles are route numbers or roads, but it gives you national parks, airports, etc...

Answer 7

so it could be used as a tourist map? i'm so confused :c

Answer 8

also gives water ways...

Answer 9

right, i mentioned that in the gathered information...could people use that to see how water affects the lives of people how live there?

Answer 10

i guess, to an extent but here a better tourist map- http://www.wikiveler.com/europe/italy/lazio/rome/images/rome-map-large.jpg

Answer 11

a few roads actually follow the water.

Answer 12

is this for your own benefit or for a project?

Answer 13

project for human geo

Answer 14

i picked the maps :x

Answer 15

OK, so i thought it was for your own benefit- anyways, if you noticed, there is a big orange circle going around the capital,

Answer 16

right, i figured that was a road

Answer 17

which is probably a major road.....and soooo.....
(would do you think?)

Answer 18

ehh. it's a highly used road...because it goes around the entire city...

Answer 19

annd, something that i know is that in ancient rome, there were always roads that led out of their forums...

Answer 20

here is an example. http://www.christusrex.org/www1/ofm/pilgr/bord/pcts/10Roads.gif

Answer 21

so you could probably say that this road probably came from a forum ( I don't know if there was a forum in the center of the orange center)

Answer 22

so that's why you would use the map? to interpret the reasoning behind the roadways?

Answer 23

so you'll need to do a little more research on what was there and what is still there....does that make sense?

Answer 24

yea, i guess, many road ways are paved because it was used for a ling time, and still need to be used

Answer 25

i have to do this for 4 maps. 1 local, 1 state/province, 1 country/continent, and 1 global. i have to state what information can be gathered, what information is missing, and what the map can be used for

Answer 26

the map i posted is my province map

Answer 27

ok, the thing about the roads could be 'what info i could be goatherd'

Answer 28

this is my local map (i chose the colosseum)

info that can be gathered: How to get to the Colosseum, which roads to take, which side of the road to drive on, and locations of shops and trams

info missing: Which state/province, country, and continent the region of the map is located and a legend

how it can be used: A tourist map because it shows how to get to a landmark, the nearest hotels/restaurants, and a means of transportation

Answer 29

ok, that all makes sense.

Answer 30

and this is what i have so far for the map i posted previously

info that can be gathered: What the systems of roads and rivers in Rome look like and locations of national forests and air ports

info missing: Toponyms of roads, rivers, and buildings and a legend

how it can be used: .....

Answer 31

i don't really know if you want to add my road thing or not, i thought it would be more based on context.

Answer 32

i don't know though, he didn't give me an example of what to do. i just figured i was doing it right :/

Answer 33

and i still have two other maps! :O

Answer 34

and then i have to make a brochure!

Answer 35

ok, so you are doing a touristy thing. so do what you have so far, about the roads and restarants and stuff, and for the brochure, use you map, and pick a restaurant, and describe it (or use a national land mark.)

Answer 36

well, i have to answer those three "questions" for each of the 4 maps, and then do a "creative project" it doesn't have to be a brochure, but that was one of the choices

Answer 37

1. Create a tourist poster or brochure that includes two descriptions of relative location that would appeal to tourists.
2. Write a short paragraph for a newspaper or magazine article that includes two descriptions of relative location that help explain the population or economy of the area.
3.Create a two to three minute audio, podcast, or video that includes two descriptions of relative location that would appeal to tourists.

Answer 38

i only have to one of those, but i must do the questions for each map

Answer 39

btw, i really appreciate you helping me! :)

Answer 40

what if you make a poster
heres an idea....
