世界各國國旗設計規則的推導─案例學習法的應用

Abstract

本論文以全世界191面國旗為研究樣本，選擇宗教、語系、地域為主要學習概念，利用屬值差異法（ID3）、最大差異法（D-MAX）、迴歸推導法（Regression）、屬性組合法（Logic-combination）及溯源推導（Culture-trace）等五種方法，來推導世界各國旗幟設計的決策樹。經比較後得知，溯源推導法最試用於推求各國旗幟的設計規則，由其所求得的一些顯著的旗幟設計規則如下： 在宗教的概念下，回教國家的旗幟設計有相當特定的用色及象徵性符號：在眾多語系之間，斯拉夫語系國家明顯地呈現特定的旗幟構圖形式：在地域方面，大洋洲的“南十字星”為最具地域色彩的恆定性旗幟設計要素。

This study aims at deducing the design rules of national flags for 191 countries, owning to various religions, languages and landmasses, five methods (ID3, D-MAX, Regression, Logic-combination and Culturetrace) are used to deduce the decision tree of flag design. After the comparison of these methods, Culture-trace method is known to be the best one which can deduce the rules of flag design. Some of the most obvious design rules of flags are listed below: In the concept of religion, Muslim countries use special symbol and color in their flag design; among various languages, Slavonic countries own obvious common flag layout; due to the factor of landmass, the "Southern Cross" of Oceania countries has been a consistent symbol in their flag design.
