Cartography in Croatia 2007–2011 National Report to the ICA 15th General Assembly, Paris, 2011

This article stems from setting student projects. It describes in detail the outcome of a project designed to ascertain the views of the public in relation to ancillary relief and what they consider to be a ‘fair’ outcome. The rationale for undertaking student projects has been discussed at length in another article and is therefore only alluded to here. The discussion centres around the law, findings and outcome of the project. Students studying the Family Law course at Sheffield University were required to survey members of the public in order to gather their views on the division of assets on divorce and then to analyse the public’s response in light of the seminal decision of the House of Lords in White v White [2000] UKHL 54; [2001] 1 AC 596

Kartografija u Hrvatskoj 2007–2011 Nacionalni izvještaj ICA-i 15. generalna skupština, Pariz, 2011

Croatia has been a member of the International Cartographic Association – ICA since 1995 and one of its obligations has been to submit national reports about its cartographic activities at general assemblies held everyfour years. The bearer of those activities in Croatia is the Croatian Cartographic Society. The State Geodetic Administration recognized the value and importance of those activities and has been financially supporting the work on national report for several years.Hrvatska je od 1995. godine članica Međunarodnoga kartografskog društva i kao jednu od obaveza ima podnositi nacionalni izvještaj o kartografskim aktivnostima na generalnim skupštinama koje se održavaju svake četiri godine. U Hrvatskoj je nositelj tih aktivnosti Hrvatsko kartografsko društvo. Državna geodetska uprava prepoznala je vrijednost i važnost takvih aktivnosti i već niz godina financijski podupire rad na nacionalnom izvještaju

Spatial Data Management of Temporal Map Series for Cultural and Environmental Heritage

This research focuses on the exploitation of real-time navigation of territory over time. This allows one to extract and compare multi-scale maps in order to verify spatial data management potentials of temporal map series. This paper discusses contributions to the knowledge, conservation, valorisation, awareness rising, and divulgence of cultural and environmental heritage at both regional and urban levels. The main aim is to promote the progressive involvement of historic maps within the planning processes, from the analysis to the governmental plan of addressing the territory, through sustainability projects and interventions. In addition, the systematic collection of temporal map series comparisons should contribute to a better knowledge of complex environmental sites of inland water basins and of the landscape in general, as well as of historic sites. In the former case, they could support the development of hydro-morphologic models and hydro-geologic risk analysis. In the latter, they could be integrated into conservation, restoration, and redevelopment projects. To fulfil these aims and to support a progressive adoption by different actors at a sustainable cost, an open-source geo-portal was developed following the geospatial community standards defined by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and compliant with concepts of user-defined Web services. This is hosted by the Web platform available at www.atlantestoricolombardia.it (‘Atl@nte dei Catasti Storici e delle carte Topografiche della Lombardia’ - Atlas of historical cadastres and topographic maps of Lombardy) that is an ongoing project that aims to build up, collect, and manage historic georeferenced cadastral and current topographic maps of this region. In particular, some sets of maps covering areas along artificial and natural water axes are now accessible through an online geo-portal. These maps date back to the late 18th and 19th centuries. Cultural and environmental heritage needs to be analyzed using a case-by-case methodology. With regard to INSPIRE directive, these categories are supported by the ‘protected sites’ theme. The paper addresses the need for shared and standard approaches that need to be considered by the geospatial data community
