碩士 / 樹德科技大學 / 應用設計研究所 / 93 / The government on Taiwan has been trying very hard to implement tourism and hold worldwide activities recently. In the process of promoting internationalization, the convenience of transportation plays a key role, having to serve the most passengers at the shortest time. Thus, not only hardware constructions but also a set of effective and convenient identification system to direct both foreign and local passengers to their destinations safely, quickly, and smoothly are needed.
However, the designs of pictorial symbols of the identification system in transportation spots in Taiwan haven't reached a standardized level yet. We even can find different pictorial symbols for the same facility, which confuses, even mislead the passengers. (Huang and Hung, 2004) Because there is not any research focusing on the investigation and analysis of pictorial symbols of the identification system in transportation spots in Taiwan has been conducted at present, through investigating and analyzing , this study hopes to first get a better picture of its general situations of employment and degree of understanding, and then to serve as a reference of renewal and redesign to the making of future pictorial symbols of the identification system, especially those whose recognition rate is lower than ISO's recommendation value 67%.
This study categorizes transportation spots into five categories: airports, railway stations, bus stations, MRT stations, and harbors. Sequenced according to the passengers serving capacity, the first three of each category are selected as the research subjects. They are:
1. Airports: CKS International Airport, Sungshan Airport, and Kaohsiung International Airport.
2. Railway stations: Taipei Railway Station, Kaohsiung Railway Station, and Tainan Railway Station.
3. Bus stations: Taipei Railway Station, Kaohsiung Railway Station, and Tainan Railway Station.
4. MRT stations: Taipei MRT Station.
5. Harbors: Keelung Harbor, and passengers' pier and visitors service center of Kaohsiung Harbor.
From the investigation of the present employment of the identification system, we find that 70 signs have pictorial symbols in them, 33 of which bear more than two. Thus, evaluation questionnaires are used to assess signs with more than two symbols to select and decide symbols with better visual-transmission mechanisms in design. Then the select-outs are combined with the other 37 single-symbol signs to be compiled into a set of recognition evaluation questionnaire.
Through the use of recognition evaluation questionnaire, we find that the figures we get from both the design professionals and non-professionals are the same. The recognition rates of 18 signs are below ISO's recommendation value 67%. Finally, designing procedures and methods deriving from literature review are employed to put those 18 signs whose recognition rates are low to re-design and recognition evaluation in order to verify that our designing methods are practical. Thus, the result of this study might serve as a useful reference to the renewal or re-design of future pictorial symbols in identification system.
