Thematic maps are important for understanding water and its dynamics: they provide an overview of the state of water and water infrastructure, and they also have an important warning role. In the ...process of water management, many maps are needed. In order to provide sufficient quality, consistency, timeliness and coverage of the areas, maps have to be managed in an integrated way. Therefore, we propose the introduction of a system of thematic maps for water management in the form of a web portal, which takes into account the requirements of both managers and the legislation on water and spatial information. The concept of the system provides content composition, principles that the system must meet, proposes the use of modern forms of maps and an economical establishment of the system by using a joint editorial design, printon-demand function and open source solutions. An extensive list of thematic maps was created after examining the assessment area and the requirements of the current legislation. The system of thematic maps for water management is an attempt to establish order when displaying spatial data related to water, and to encourage experts' participation in water management and to include the public in the process of acquiring and controlling spatial data.
Topografijo Zemlje lahko najbolj realno prikažemo na globusu, kar so vedeli že stari Grki. Največji prispevek k izdelovanju pomanjšanih modelov našega planeta je imel Mercator, ki je v 16. stoletju ...razdelil površino krogle na pasove in s tem povzročil pravo evolucijo v kartografiji, izdelava globusov pa je postala množična.Načelo izdelave globusov se odtlej ni spremenilo, le da je zdaj večji del postopka avtomatiziran. Še vedno pa veljajo za posebnost globusi posameznih držav. Temu izzivu smo se posvetili pri projektu izdelave globusa Slovenije v okviru predmeta Kartografija III pri študijugeodezije na Fakulteti za gradbeništvo in geodezijo Univerze v Ljubljani. Izdelava globusa Slovenije v grobem obsega izdelavo pregledne karte države s stopnjo podrobnosti merila 1 : 1.000.000, projekcijo ravninske karte na kroglo in lepljenje tiskanih pasov nanosilni medij, v našem primeru na namizno svetilko ; The most realistic way to represent the topography of the Earth is by using a globe; this fact was known as early as in ancient Greece. The biggest contribution to the making of these reduced models of our planetwas made by Gerardus Mercator, who split the surface of the globe into zones in the 16th century. This gave rise to a revolution in the development of cartography, which also sparked the beginning ofthe mass production of globes. The principle for the production of this instrument has remained the same to this day; the only difference is that the major part of the process is now automated. However, globes of individual countries are still quite unusual andrare; this is why we decided to take on the project of designing the globe of Slovenia, which was performed within the Cartography III study course at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering. The making of the globe of Slovenia includes the production of a generalmap of the country at the scale of 1: 1,000,000, the projection of a flat map on the globe and the pasting of printed zones on the supporting medium, in our case a table lamp.
