Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Thematic maps play an important role in the geosciences and especially in geography, spatial research and spatial planning. Spatial issues can be optimally and purposefully illustrated, transported and communicated with the help of geovisualisation. Complex information is thus optimally processed and implemented through clear cartographic formalisation steps.

This course focuses on the areas of cartographic visualisation of thematic issues and aspects of the design of cartographic products. The most important methodological approaches for map design are formalised and illustrated with practical examples.

Interactive teaching, discussion of examples, practical exercises
