Features: Music and art can transcend differences in human race, language, and culture, bringing people closer together. Public information graphics also share this quality. Pictorial and symbolic signs are a simple and universal language that can convey accurate public information to people from different parts of the world and cultural backgrounds in public places such as stations, ports, hotels, and parks, greatly facilitating their lives. Therefore, the standardization, normalization, and internationalization of urban public information graphics are important aspects of enhancing a city's civilized level and management standards. Due to the wide range of applications for public information graphics, involving more than ten departments such as urban transportation, civil aviation, railways, construction, municipal affairs, tourism, commerce, cultural radio and television, sports, health, public security, fire protection, urban sanitation and greening, achieving standardization and normalization requires detailed explanations of the implementation and use of national standards. Based on extensive field investigations, the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision Information Center has addressed issues in the design and use of urban public information graphics. Existing standard signs are organized according to different purposes, and detailed introductions are provided on design, production, and use, offering convenience for departments and individuals involved in the design, production, and use of various graphics. This book serves as a practical reference for public information graphics, benefiting those preparing for the Hangzhou World Leisure Expo and builders of new public buildings nationwide.
