Coordinate Systems Used Over the Last 100 Years in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The science of mapping has been imposed since ancient times, being generated by the development of other sciences, by military, economic and commercial geo-strategic requirements, and the use of maps and topographical plans can be considered as old as time.In our country, starting with the beginning of the twentieth century to the present, the development of reference geodetic systems has directly influenced the scientific issues of cartography.Thus, as a result of the military artillery of the First World War, our country has switched from equivalent projections to conform projections, after which a need for coordinate transformations from one system to another appeared. This paper aims to present the evolution of the cartographic basis and the reference systems used in Romania for the past 100 years.
