r10th Jubilee

Cartography and Geoinformation International ConferenceZagreb, October 10-12, 2014

Location

The Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography,

Great Hall, Prilaz Gj. Deželiæa 2, Zagreb

Introduction

The Croatian Cartographic Society wants to

contribute to the development of

geoinformation, cartography, geography,

geology and related fields, with a particular

emphasis on GIS and spatial data infrastructure.

A wide variety of topics and keynote speakers

guarantee interesting lectures and a

contemporary approach.

The Republic of Croatia is a regular member of

the International Cartographic Association (ICA)

since 1995, and the Croatian Cartographic

Society represents Croatia in that Association.

This 10th Conference will continue the intensive

work undertaken by Croatian cartographers in

the international cartographic arena providing a

good opportunity to continue the series of

cartography related events. Considering the

above the ICA was very pleased to be able to

endorse the 10th Conference on Cartography

and Geoinformation. Moreover, Prof. Dr. Georg

Gartner, the ICA President will have a keynote

lecture on the first day of the Conference.

The ICA has decided to celebrate an

International Map Year during the years of 2015

and 2016 and has also formed a working group

to plan and organise that task. The ICA expects

that all ICA member countries will participate

in order to give their citizens a broader

knowledge of maps – how they are produced

and used for many purposes in society.

Another goal is to give school children and university

students an opportunity to learn more about

cartography and about its neighbouring geospatial

sciences geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sciences

and surveying. ICA has about 80 national members,

and the UN will be helpful in establishing contact with

all other countries in the world, so that the

international map year will be celebrated worldwide.

The Conference participants will have the opportunity

to create the Croatian program of the International

Map Year and to be involved in it.

Previous conferences organized by CCS showed

incresing interest in cartography and geoinformation

by many non-geodesists. Nowadays, it is difficult to

find professionals who do not need maps and spatial

information, which means it is truly an interdisciplinary

field.

? Cartography and geoinformation in education

? Topographic, military, geological and maritime

mapping

? GIS in local government and economy

? GIS in crisis situations

? Spatial Data Infrastructure

? Development of spatial databases

? Spatial data quality

? Map projections

? Cartography and the Internet

? Cartographic generalization

? Spatial data and copyright

? Visualization of spatial data

? Historical topics

? International Map Year 2015

The Organizing Committee will review requests of

other topics related to cartography, geography,

geodesy, geology, geoinformatics and other

professions.

The conference program and abstracts will be

published in paper form and presentations will be

posted on the Croatian Cartographic Society website.

Orienteering Competition

For the first time there will be an orienteering

competition organized during the Conference on

Cartography and Geoinformation. Participants will be

given a specially prepared orienteering map, which

they will use to find control points. The winners will

be awarded with specially designed diplomas.

Post-conference Tour

One day walking tour to the Medvednica Nature

Park is scheduled on Sunday, October 12, 2014. We

will visit several geological sites, be acquainted with

natural beauty of Medvednica and have a lunch in a

mountain house.
