Urban Wayfinding System

Comprehensive solution for visitors and townsfolk. Except the most important objective which is helping in finding the way, project target is to reveal touristic potential of the city and encourage users to see interesting and forgotten places.

Information carriers

To understand how does the System work it's recommended to familiarize with its components. The most important of them are double-sided vertical boards, which are carriers for a variety of wayfinding tips and graphical information. Mentioned information and tips are presented among others in the form of clear maps covering the area closest to the viewer as well as the main city thoroughfares and exit roads.

Ergonomics

Maps are oriented in such a way as to always indicate the compass direction which the user is facing. Key elements of graphics systems (maps, along with the legend) are placed at a height that allows adults, children, and persons moving in a wheelchair to easily read their content.

Maps

Map of the center of Kielce, constituting the core of the project has been developed on the basis of the materials available on the internet (such as OpenStreetMap), as well as the observations of the urban environment in the area. The map elements, which are not commonly found in other solutions and those worth mentioning are:

  • The designation "You are here", and a circle whose circumference shows the area to which you will reach within 5 minutes walk
  • Simplified compass rose
  • Pedestrian areas, sidewalks, squares
  • Trees and larger shrubs
  • Fences and walls
  • Green areas, rivers and reservoirs
  • Footprints and numbers of buildings
  • Grounds of conditional access for pedestrians and wheeled vehicles
  • Underpasses
  • Roadways and sidewalks of three widths
  • Points of interest
  • Pedestrian crossings
  • One-way roads markings
