Cover Story: This study investigated the effectiveness of new point-of-interest pictograms on tourist maps to enhance the tourist experience in urban settings for individuals with specific needs, such as particular dietary, health, and clothing preferences. Six new pictogram designs showing healthcare, food, and apparel were assessed through a questionnaire involving 138 participants of diverse nationalities, ages, and educational backgrounds. The results revealed insights into the subtle cultural and lifestyle influences on pictogram perception. The findings provide a basis for considering the potential of the new pictogram designs in improving navigational experiences with geospatial information and encouraging sustainable tourist behaviors.
