Cartography >> Students´ Thesis

Abstract:: Práce je vstupem do řešení problému různých interpretací téže reality při využití rozdílných výrazových prostředků mapy. Práce má teoreticky i prakticky ukázat, jak může nevhodné použití vyjadřovacích prostředků zmást uživatele a nabídnout mu zcela odlišnou interpretaci dat, než by mělo. Další informace jsou uloženy i v SIS UK.

Abstract:: V 80. letech byla pod vedením R. Čapka zpracována diplomová práce s názvem "Mapa světa na dvacetistěnu". Tato práce navázala na SVOČ "Polyedrické glóby pro GKP". Vše bylo zpracováno ještě klasickou cestou, tedy ručně a na základě sestavitelských a vydavatelských originálů. Nabízí se vyřešit zpracování těchto glóbů v rámci počítačových technologií a především s využitím GIS. Téma je propojením GIS, PC a matematické kartografie.

Abstract:: V řadě školních atlasů je problematika hospodářství dosud řešena neuspokojivě. Práci na podobné téma již řešilo několik studentů v rámci tuzemských VŠ. Předpokladem je ovšem rozsáhlejší analýza dostupných školních atlasů, a to zejména těch zahraničních. Dalším důležitým aspektem je posouzení celkové skladby výkladu problematiky hospodářství (ať už světového nebo regionálního) prostřednictvím map. Výstupem bude řešení map vč. návrhu znakového klíče a koncepce listů v atlase. Konzultace s odborníky na geografii hospodářství (např. KSGRR) nutná.

Keywords: školní atlas, mapový jazyk, analýza kartografických děl, návrh znakového klíče, mapy hospodářství

Abstract:: Hlavním cílem bakalářské práce je návrh koncepce atlasového díla zaměřeného na historické, kulturní a etnografické aspekty slovanských národů podle kartografických zásad zejména pro tvorbu tematických map, příp. map s topografickým obsahem. Kromě redakčních pokynů obsahujících parametry navrženého kartografického produktu (formální i obsahové) se student zaměří na zásady přepisu cyrilice do latinky a na problematiku geografických názvů map států příslušné části Evropy. V rámci redakčních pokynů bude zvláštní pozornost věnována znázorňování kulturních a etnografických jevů v mapě. V souvislosti s tím bude provedena volba vhodných vyjadřovacích metod tematické kartografie pro znázornění jednotlivých témat.

Abstract:: The object of the thesis is to present maps of fictional, constructed worlds, that are the settings for the fantasy and science-fiction genre. The main object is an analysis of these maps in the terms of the modern cartography. A comparison of the fantasy maps and the ancient cartographic production is also a part of the analysis, which decides whether the fantasy map is only an illustration rather than real map. The answer of the question is not explicit, but it is enough to make an attitude about fantasy maps, which is necessary to make a decision during the making of the map. The object of the second part of the thesis is the process of making fantasy map. The three ways of making are being compared – hand making, using a graphic application and using a special cartographic application. The result of the process are three different maps of the same part of a fictional area. The thesis opens and presents a subject, which the modern cartographer could enforce himself in.

Abstract:: The aim of this paper is to present cartographic works for children and youth. The main object is the introduction to the problems of cartographic production for children and youth and the execution of value analysis in terms of cartography. The analysis focuses on the use of mapping language – character key and means of expresion, in this part is an efort to answer the question whether the cartographic works for children and youth are the real maps or rather an illustration. The assesment of selected product by their users – children continue the analasis. Another aim is to compare traditional methods of creating those works with the possibilities of modern computer cartography, three ways of making are demonstrated - by hand, using a graphic application and using cartographic application. Then the paper tries to assess the use of geographic and cartographic knowledge in products for children and youth, in this question the paper use knowledges gained in consultation with author from practise.

Abstract:: The aim of this study is to analyze the ideas of students of various ages and residence about spatial layout and geography of the Czech Republic. The output is mainly maps that provide visual comparison of these concepts. The method of research is the survey which was carried out on four Czech schools. The beginning of the paper is devoted to the theory of mental maps, specification of hypotheses and the administration of the questionnaire. The analysis of the data is then divided into three parts. The main task of the first part involves the creation of so-called aggregate mental maps of a map of the Czechia (for each school separately). The second part examines the positioning accuracy of Prague on these maps. The last part of the research is to analyze preferences of students for their permanent housing. The conclusion of the study includes a summary evaluation of the results and provides suggestions for further research and possible use of this study.

Abstract:: The aim of this thesis is to propose a thematic map key for the plan of Prague and to apply it on a given sample. An analysis of the current state of map keys is brought up in the first part of this thesis. These map keys are commonly used by cartographic map publishers in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the work focuses on description of a complex character key of city plan as well as on possibilities of ArcGIS 9.x and OCAD programs during the creation of the map key. The next part deals with an evaluation of these two programs in terms of urban planning. Each program is evaluated in terms of several criteria. Then on the basis of these criteria one of the programs is chosen to be used for the creation of appropriate plans of cities. The evaluation of both programs comes out together with the cartographic piece of work as the results of this thesis. The proposed map key is then applied to this piece of work.

Abstract:: The primary aim of the work is the analysis of carthographic products, that within means of expression use selected artictic styles and techniques. The purpose of this analysis is to examine the rate in which the art is potentialy used in modern cartography. In the next part there are outlined the possibilities of the application of artistic techniques in cartographic production with a help of classification of a few chosen works based on different criteria. There is the qestion if it is possible to use these processes practicaly. The answer gives the consultation with the creators of such products and then the production of the own works made by four different ways – handmade, with a help of graphic software, GIS software, and the application Autodesk Impression. This application is in nowadays used especially in architecture for artistic interpretation of engineering drawings. One of the aims of this work is also to indicate the potential of this software in cartographic production. The task of the own production is to show the benefits and limitations, connected with particular processes. The work should be conceived as a brief enumeration of the possibilities that offers the connection of car tography and art and that can lead to higher aesthetic value of cartographic outputs.

Abstract:: This final examine work deals with the problematic of digital dynamic panoramic maps. Several static panoramic maps and video sequences of the area have been developed, as a result of gained experience about that issue. Results supposed to be used in documentary about the river Doubrava. This work also shows the ways of possible usage of visualization in digital cartography nowadays. Final application has been mostly made with ArcGIS 9.2 software, there has also been used Google SketchUp 6 and Pinnacle Studio 10 application. Another task of work should reveal, if the geoinformatic software and computer’s applications in general, do not make up to many boundaries for cartographer’s creativity of making of panoramic maps, because of less software tools options of computer applications.
