PIRI REIS I NJEGOVE KARTE

Author(s): Sadžida Šahmanović / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 21/2005

A Turkish seafarer, pirate and admiral, Piri Reis, while sailing the Mediterranean and other nearby seas, sketched the seashores, made detailed notes about his journeys and collected maps. Based on his own notes as well as Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic maps, he made many maps, the most famous of which were the two maps of the World. They were discovered when the Topkapi Saray palace was turned into museum. Unfortunately, neither one was found complete. From the first one we have only the western part; both Americas, with the Greenland on the north and the Azores in the center. On the opposite side are the costs of Africa and the Pyrenean.

Rezultati i analiza hipsometrijskih osobina reljefa Bosne i Hercegovine prezentovanih u ovom radu omogućuju novi uvid u raspored, odnose i veličinu površine pojedinih kategorija hipsometrijske raspodjele teritorija Bosne i Hercegovine.

OVERSPREADING OF TOPONYMS IN DEPENDENCE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE EXAMPLE OF MOUNTAIN ZLATIBOR

Author(s): Mirčeta Vemić / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2008

Toponyms are proper geographic names of longer historic-geographiccontinuation. Local population inherits them by generation, remember them and inform both descendants and population of their spatial encirclement. In science toponyms denoting concrete geographic objects are recorded and written on maps with certainspatial borders representing thus a very stable element in studying geographic area. Changes of toponyms occur in longer time, i.e. civilization epochs, and very rarely inshorter time periods, these are usually the cases of sudden change of population or changes of political-historical circumstances of a territory. However, as linked to human conscience, toponyms often get different internal spatial meanings as well as different territorial belonging, where, in dependence on causes, they get narrower or overspread asin the case of Zlatibor toponyms. Total economic development of Zlatibor in the last more than a hundred years has caused this toponym spatially spread and got new forms. It appeared as oronym (name ofrelief object) and it has kept the same meaning up today, although in one period it was recorded as horonym (regional name) on maps. In the last decade it also appeared as oikonym (name of settlement)-Zlatibor, the name for ex settlement of Kraljeva Voda, later Partizanske Vode, joined with Palisad, but also as the name for wider spatial administrative region-Zlatibor Region. At the same time, by spreading Zlatibor toponym,the toponyms of Cigota, Tornik and Murtenica are narrowed territorially, while with similar continuation of economic development it may be expected that Zlatibor toponym will overspread on the territory of Tara and Zlatar Mountains in the future, while theseones will reduce on names of their parts-peaks.

КАРТОГРАФСКО МОДЕЛОВАЊЕ КОНЦЕНТРАЦИЈЕ ГРАДСКОГ И СЕОСКОГ СТАНОВНИШТВА СРБИЈЕ

Author(s): Marina Janić-Siridžanski,Slavoljub Jovanović,Ljiljana Živković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2007

The opposite demographic courses have resulted in expressive polarization of the area of Serbia on zones of pressures (urban centers) and zones of emptiness (rural settlements). By applying the cartographic method a relation between the areas and population of urban and rural settlements of the Serbia district has been presented as an index of their concentration degree. By constructing the combined sign, a concrete andthematic area has been presented by using a corresponding type of the area – semi-scale. The complete metric coordination and mutual comparability of all series of signs havebeen attained by the proportional constructing of the thematic map contents.

КАРТОГРАФИЈА СРБИЈЕ У XX ВЕКУ

Author(s): Mirčeta Vemić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2007

On account of well-known historical facts, autonomous development of cartography in Serbia began not until last quarter of the 19th century. In the beginning of the next century, cartographic activity in Serbia have grown in the scope of Serbian cartography, and Yugoslav cartography afterwards, concerning several periods of existence of Yugoslav state. Each of periods reflected on total cartography situation and its progress, even though permanent continuity in the development of cartography existed. The continuity was permanent in production as well as in science, and provoked by constant and fast growth of needs for maps, and also by their raised role in economic, cultural and scientific life of the state and society. By its features, period before the uniting of Yugoslav countries in 1918, resembled more like cartography of the 19th century, while periods of the kingdom, between two world wars, and period of the republic, after the World War II, had more elements of planned, systematic and continual development. Period after the existence of SFRJ (1992) had its own cartographic specialness. Cartography in Serbia in 20th century had developed through numerous scientific, professional, technological, production, educational, archive, publication, and in every other way, in order to achieve European and world cartography development level. The most massive mappings are based on geodetic and topographic measurement, so they had engineer character, and cartographic base got in this way served also for various thematic mappings, first of all geologic, pedologic, geomorphologic, geomagnetic, etc. Important role in map production in Serbia also belongs to school geographical maps and satins, historical and geographical maps and satins. Series of single maps from the various domains had been produced, but yet, complex satin mapping left out, so that Serbia still doesn’t have national atlas. Cartography has been and still is taught, at faculties of geography, geodesy, geology, and at Military Academy as well.

Тhe authors present chronology and activities on preparation geomorphologic maps of Serbia in the last 30 years. During that period were prepared general and detailed geomorphologic maps for whole national territory. Especially attention was devoted on content,mode of presentation and methodology of preparation geomorphologic maps. Suggestions for farther improvement of geomorphologic mapping are preparations of new instructions for making geomorphologic maps.

КАРТОГРАФСКО МОДЕЛОВАЊЕ – УЛОГА И ЗНАЧАЈ

Author(s): Vesna Ikonović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2007

Aim and sense of cartographic modeling is to represent essential, typical and characteristically attributes of mapping territory.Cartographic modeling is applying in two phases: 1. trough theoretical modeling and creating mind models (by notice relevant factors of space, modeling is in cartographer’s mind) and 2. trough practical modeling and making prototype model (continuing and objectification of mind model) which one has bigger degree of concrezation and experimented role.The maps are mathematical and logical models, which are not just representing the contents of the real space, but also their specific and relational traits which can’t be seen at first sight.Atlas is modeled contexture contents of treated thematic of space on optimal map union. Atlases are higher form of cartography.Modern computer's technology and specific software make possible better and faster making of all kinds of maps, atlases and spatial analysis connections and relationships among all elements of contents from concrete space which is, until now, demand much more time or they can not imagine.

CARTOGRAPHIC MODELING OF THE POPULATION DENSITY IN THE FUNCTION OF RESEARCH OF SPATIAL–DEMOGRAPHICAL RELATIONS

Author(s): Jasmina Jovanović,Dragica Živković / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2005

Cartographic modeling of the population density by a diagram map method (comparative way of semioscale mapping) and by a method of cartogram, enables presentation of the information about current spatial-demographical relations in asystematic, comparative, metrical, synoptic and suitable way, relevant for different aspects of specific research. Through methods of the cartographic information forms various types of population density are included: general, general agrarian, specific agrarian, agrarian-productive density and valorized agrarian population density. Chosen and applied cartographical methods, by modeling of the population density, enable to view them and express in a more apparent spatial graphical-analytical way. Applied semiometrics tends to realize the results of the numerical values of the parameters of the subject area via figures of symbols. Different types of population density are shown on the coordinate graph which enables their comparison as well as their status regarding the average values of the subject area. Cartographic modeling of the population density enables analytic and synthetic approach in researching and evaluating of the quantitiesand quality characteristics of the presented categories, which are functionally connectedand determined, for the purpose of highlighting the typical, specific and essential. Application of the cartographic methods in modeling of the population density is shownin the example of municipalities in districts of Bor and Zajecar for 2002, where thespatial differentiation of the population density was explicit.

Aspekty historyczne rozwoju teorii odwzorowań azymutalnych

Author(s): Rostysław Sossa,Pavel Korol / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2015

Problem odwzorowania powierzchni Ziemi na płaszczyźnie zajmuje matematyków i kartografów od ponad 2000 lat. Zagadnienie to ma istotne znaczenie nie tylko dla teoretyków kartografii, ale również dla użytkowników map, ponieważ w rezultacie przekształceń wynikających z rodzaju odwzorowania następuje zniekształcenie pewnych zależności geometrycznych występujących na powierzchni Ziemi. W odróżnieniu od wielu publikacji przedstawiających odwzorowania kartograficzne jako jedno z zagadnień kartografii matematycznej w niniejszym artykule skupiono się na rozwoju i zastosowaniu wyłącznie odwzorowań azymutalnych (płaszczyznowych), śledząc zmiany od czasów starożytnych do współczesnych. Omawiając podstawowe cechy poszczególnych odwzorowań azymutalnych, przedstawiono ich szczegółową klasyfikację, m.in. na typy związane z położeniem środka rzutu (np. centralny, stereograficzny, ortograficzny), nie mające charakteru rzutów, jak najpopularniejsze z nich odwzorowanie Postela (równoodległościowe) czy Lamberta (równopolowe), a także na wszelkie modyfikacje typów podstawowych.

Koncepcja wykorzystania interaktywnych prezentacji kartograficznych jako narzędzia w procesie edukacji geograficzno-historycznej

Author(s): Teresa Bogacz,Beata Konopska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2014

Cartographic documents in the form of maps and atlases are one of the forms facilitating communication in the relation between the teacher and the pupil in the process of knowledge transmission, mainly in the fields of geography and history. Spatial information on places, phenomena and events, both natural and socio-economic ones, taking place currently and in the past is presented on maps in the form of cartographic signs. New possibilities of using the maps appeared together with the development of computer technologies. Th e present article approaches a few important aspects of the subject, namely how the process of using the maps as a means of communication should proceed at different levels of education, how technological achievements affect the improvement of the map, and how this influences the potential effectiveness of education and the possibility of the pupils using the acquired abilities in the further out-of-school practice. A geographical or a historical map, both in its traditional, paper form and in a multimedia edition, is an effective tool of communication after having fulfilled a few conditions, e.g. compatibility of the map’s content with the curriculum and the information capacity of the scale in which it is presented as well as the map’s graphics prepared according to the principles of cartographic semiotics. Both these conditions – the first related to the map’s content and the other connected with its graphics – are closely related to the user’s features. In the case of the receivers of school maps, the users are characterized by different perception and experience, depending on age. Different requirements concerning the cartographic form of communication are imposed by pupils with eye defects (visually impaired, blind). At the first stage of teaching both geography and history, the teacher, who teaches how to interpret the map through discussion and explanation, plays a key role in the process of communication between the map and the pupil. On the high school level, communication in the relation between the map and the student acquires a direct dimension and it does not require the teacher’s participation any more.

Картографске конусне пројекције и њихова примена у државној картографији

Author(s): Vladimir P. Petrović,Miro Govedarica,Mirko Borisov / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 4/2011

This paper is dedicated to the mapping of conic projections and their appliance in producing maps of our state cartography. So far they were often applied, and will be used precisely coned, polyconed and modified polyconed projections for the official mapping (1:500 000, 1:750 000, 1:1000 000 and 1:1500 000). In particular, they cartographic conical projection at a scale of 1:1000 000 were taken into consideration. Those are the Lambert conformal conical projection with two standard parallels and the Modified polyconic projections. In addition to these cartographic conical projections, is described Boneo`s pseudoconic equivalent projections. This is one of the cartographic conical map projection that is commonly used in the preparation of thematic maps as well as for atlas editions of geographic maps both in Serbia and abroad.

Abordări G.I.S. în analiza evoluţiei teritorial-economice a municipiului Reşiţa

Author(s): George Laurenţiu Merciu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2012

Territorial and economic evolution of Reşiţa city is closely link to industrial activity. This also contributed to shaping its role as urban center as regional pole in the Banat Mountain. Favorability of natural environment (ground and underground resourses) competed with historical factors in the emergence and development of an important industrial center since at the begining of the XIXth century. Industrial activity influenced the development of two well contoured functional areas (residential and industrial). Territorial development stages of the city were closely related to the expansion of plants domains of Reşiţa that marked still visible differentiations in the urban landscape (colony districts of German influence followed by the modern working-class neighborhoods). The actual urban landscape of Reşiţa city is a mixt between vernacular architecture and the modern one.

Į RYTUS NUO SAULĖS, Į ŠIAURĘ NUO ŽEMĖS: ŽEMĖLAPIAI ŠIAPUS IR ANAPUS PASAKOJIMO

Author(s): Aldis Gedutis / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 41 (02)/2017

This article discusses the relationship that occurs between a map and a narrative. As a mean of visualization, a map is used in varied contexts, where it is usually interpreted as a representation of a certain territory, both real and fictitious. The dependence on temporality and a multitude of possible layers (multifacetedness) reveal that no map can represent any single territory completely. If the only aim of any map is as precise as a representation of a certain space as possible, then cartography becomes a never-ending, unrealizable and futile activity. Though a map cannot be reduced to a mere representation, it tells stories that alternatively justify its existence. Therefore, it is important to answer the following: what is the epistemological status of map? Is a “mute” map possible? Are there any unmappable narratives? As an illustration of the narrative nature of the map, the Atlas of Russian History by George Maciunas is provided and analyzed.
