The course explains how to understand and use the maps to obtain information about a wide variety of geoobjects in consideration of data analysis, scale dependence and perceptive parameters. Through short thematic problems you obtain the procurement of selected cartography-content and you get an insight into general principles of cartographic methodology.
Thematic cartography - Map design: signature, diagram, - Data-level (nominal, ordinal, metric) - Characteristics of geo-objects (quality, quantity) - Data analysis, data distribution - Cartographic modelling (generalisation, visualisation) - Map form (analytical, complex-analytical, synthetical) 3. Map editing
