AB - Efficiency and effectiveness are greatly desired in producing world maps since it usually requires much cost and time. Recent advances in geospatial technologies and database management systems have provided new opportunities for making world maps. In this context, the paper is concerned with establishing a practical procedure of producing paper world maps with digital map data. Main results are twofold. First, some criteria of evaluating the suitability of digital map datasets for the world map production are set and, evaluated based on them, the Natural Earth dataset is recognized as the best among the available digital map datasets. Second, some topics such as the setup of a georeference system, the determination of map layers, the implementation of a map design, and maintenance and management are addressed which are necessary for producing world maps with the selected dataset. It is learned that a well-defined procedure in conjunction with an adequate dataset of digital map can facilitate an efficient and effective map making and that, in doing that, it is crucial to have affluent GIS-ready data and a GIS-based procedure of manipulating them.
