Some problems in cartographical interpretation of geographical space

Year, pages: 1984, 350 - 365

In cartography, space is both represented (by means of mathematico-cartographical projections) and reflected, interpreted and expressed by cartographical expression means and approaches. Geographical space, which is the most frequent case of cartographical interpretation is being conceived more widely than in a part of the Soviet literature, namely as relative space (landscape space according to E. Mazúr and J. Urbánek). The compilation of synthetical maps supports the raison ďetre of such a conceiving of geographical space. Out of the relevant properties of space, attention is paid to the problems of both cartographical representation of metrics (two working spaces are distinguished on one thematical map: space I and space II) and the re- presentation of spatial differentation (to the structure, homogeneity-heterogeneity, arrangement, from and to some other properties).
