Alternate abstract:
As the most significant carrier of spatial information, map carries the demand of human being for obtaining spatial information and accompanies human being transforming human civilization from primitive society to agricultural society, industrial society and information society. Studying the advance in cartography is helpful not only to understand the evolution of human civilization but also to outlook at the future development of cartography. Existing studies tend to divide the history of cartography into several development stages by time or time plus a typical event. Such partitioning system cannot comprehensively reflect the close relationship between cartography and the process of human civilization.Therefore, this article examines the advance in cartography from the perspective of human needs, i.e., based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs in human life, and puts forward an outlook for the future of cartography.
