Course aims
The aim of the course is to provide a fundamental framework for understanding the principles underlying the creation, content, and use of cartographic products. Emphasis is placed on the geometric foundations of cartography, map projections, the principles of cartographic language, and methods of representing planimetric and altimetric features. Particular attention is given to the principles of cartographic generalization, cartometry, the use of geographical names, and the interpretation of map content. The course also introduces major world, European, and Czech cartographic works, the official map series of the Czech Republic, national geodatabase systems, and atlases, providing a foundation for their professional use.
