Cartographic visualisation and information society

Abstract

The need for learning and using a variety of geospatial information has progres sive character in the modern information society. Cartographic visualization of geo-referenced data, provides a more effective presentation and accessibility of knowledge of the geographic space. Digital technology offers great possibilities for cartographic visualization of complex geo-data structure, thereby improving the communication process. The diversity of cartographic 3D and 4D visualization is constantly increasing, and therefore the area of application in various fields of science is constantly being developed. The need for dynamic, interactive maps, and the growing use of geographic information systems leads to a specific development of cartography. The application of GIS technology include: visualization of geos patial data, linking of the spatial and attributive data and interdisciplinary decision making. GIS technology improves graphic and visual modeling of geospatial data in qualitative and quantitative terms
