Први насељени градови покрштене Србије х века према К. Порфирогениту, на карти гијом делила

Author(s): Ljiljana Grčić,Mirko Grčić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2012

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the identification of the first inhabited cities in baptized Serbia at the beginning of the X century, mentioned by Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus. Writings from that time are important documents which provide a picture of the reality, but it is also necessary to carefully study the old maps. Of particular note is the French geographer and cartographer, Guillaume Delisle (Guillaume de L’Isle), a member of the Royal Academy of Science, from the beginning of the XVIII century, whose map "Eastern Empire and neighboring regions of Constantine Porphyrogenitus" ("Imperio Orientalis et circumjacentium regionum sub Constantino Porphyrogenito et ejus praedecestoribus Descriptio") made on the data basis on Porphyrogenitus, so far not been used in the elucidation of uncertainty about the position of the first inhabited cities in christened Serbia. This map could be useful in researching of the networks of the cities, and territorial organization of Serbia and other Balkan countries. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 176017]

Примена алгоритма за увођење аутоматизације у процесу семиоразмерног картографисања

Author(s): Nataša Urošev / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 3/2010

Beside the main subject, this paper will present principals of average graphical weight of thematic map. The algorithm is based on this subject and also on basics of symbol-scaled(2) mapping. Maps are very often overloaded by symbols. The main goal of thematic mapping is to represent the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the occurrences in geospace. These two factors are combined in this algorithm. Modern GIS software has possibility to create thematic maps by methods of signs, cartograms and cart diagrams. These are very precise maps and they are presenting distinctive occurrence but also very graphical chaotic with lot of overcastted areas that are overloading the map. These are the reasons why it’s necessary to create this algorithm which would give some balance among boundaries of thematic map area.

The purpose of this study is to point out the importance of the application of the geographical maps and atlases in geography teaching. Beside students’ textbooks, maps represent one of the most important utility appliances in teaching geography. As such, they have to be synchronized with the curriculum, which means that they have to contain adequate general and thematic maps. The content of the map has to be simple and easily understandable as well asaccurate and in accordance with the current occurrences and processes, both in the country and in the world.

Author(s): Sanja Mustafić,Predrag Manojlović,Slavoljub Dragićević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2007

Modern geomorphologic investigations of condition and change of the intensity of erosive process should be based on application of remote sensing methods which are based on processing of aerial and satellite photographs. Using of these methods is very important because it enables good possibilities for realizing regional relations of the investigated phenomenon, as well as the estimate of spatial and temporal variability of all physical-geographical and anthropogenic factors influencing given process. Realizing process of land erosion, on the whole, is only possible by creating universal data base, as well as by using of appropriate software, more exactly by establishing uniform information system. Geographical information system, as the most effective one, the most complex and the most integral system of information about the space enables unification as well as analytical and synthetically processing of all data.

More widely used geo-statistical methods for modeling distributed phenomena requires the evaluation of the quality of the product (maps) obtained by their application. The method of evaluation of uncertainty i.e. quality of the map was described on the example of a map of mean annual air temperature in Serbia for the period from the years 1991 to 2009 that was obtained from a relatively small number of samples for the whole country area (110 meteorological stations). The uncertainty of the map, obtained by kriging interpolation was evaluated by applying a Monte Carlo simulation modeling method. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. III47014, br.

Проходите в Кавказ и местоположението на българите

Author(s): Zhivko Voynikov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2021

The Bulgarians appeared in the Caucasus in the 1st century AD or under the first rulers of the Arsacid dynasty in Armenia. Armenian chroniclers report that the “country of the Bulgarians ” was situated in the gorges of the Caucasus. Some Syrian chroniclers note that the Bulgarians lived behind the Caspian Gates (e.g. Psetido-Zacharias Rhetor), while others (eg. Michael the Syrian) claim that the Bulgarians/Puguri lived behind the Torah Gates, which got its name from the city of Caspia, nowadays the town of Kaspi in Georgia. Thus, it becomes clear that the Torah Gates of Michael the Syrian and the Caspian Gates of Psetido-Zacharias are one and the same thing - the Darial Gorge. Due to superficial knowledge of the Caucasus’s historical geography, the Torah Gates are identified with the Chon Tsor or Derbent Pass in historiography The Chor Pass cannot be identified with Derbent, but with theAlazani Valley or Ptolemy’s Albanian Gates. The Ashkharatsuits (or "Ancient Armenian geography”) also reports that the Bulgarians lived in the Western Caucasus, or in the territories of modern Kabardino-Balkaria and North Ossetia.

РАЗВИТИЕ ГЕОКАРТОГРАФИЧЕСКИХ ИДЕЙ ПТОЛЕМЕЯ В СРЕДНЕВЕКОВОЙ ИСЛАМСКОЙ ГЕОГРАФИИ

Author(s): Irina Genadijevna Konovalova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2016

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of perception and the development of scientific ideas in a particular society. This problem is considered on the example of geocartographical ideas of Ptolemy, formed in the late Hellenistic period, in the Middle Ages experienced a rebirth in the context of a completely different cultural traditions, namely in the Islamic society, and then in the early Modern period continued to develop in different historical conditions — in Europe. The article shows that in the Islamic world two directions of the perception of Ptolemaic ideas have been formed. The first one can be called a proper continuity, which provided the development of scientific ideas as such; the results achieved by the scientists of the Caliphate in this direction have become known to the world science and subsequently received further development in the works of European cartographers. At the same time the development of another direction, that adapted the Ptolemaic ideas to the needs of the educated classes of the Islamic society, can be traced; results of these activities, which facilitated the absorption of scientific tradition in terms of the Islamic culture, has not gone beyond the Islamic cultural circle.

Разплата. История на Отон. Пратеничество в Константинопол. Разплата. История на Отон. Пратеничество в Константинопол

Author(s): Liudprand Liudprand of Cremona / Language(s): Bulgarian

This modern translation of all the surviving literary compositions ascribed to Liudprand, the bishop of Cremona from 962 to 972, offers unrivaled insight into society and culture in western Europe during the "iron century". Since Liudprand enjoyed the favor of the Saxon Roman emperor Otto the Great, and traveled to Constantinople more than once on official business, his narratives also reveal European attitudes toward the Byzantine Empire and the culture of its refined capital city. No other tenth-century writer had such privileged access to the high spheres of power, or such acerbic wit and willingness to articulate critiques of the doings of powerful people. Liudprand's historical texts (the Antapodosis on European events in the first half of the 900s, and his Historia Ottonison the rise to power of Otto the Great) provide a unique view of the recent past against a genuinely European backdrop, unusual in a time of localized cultural horizons. Liudprand's famous satirical description of his misadventures as Ottonian legate at the Byzantine court in 968 is a vital source of information on Byzantine ritual and diplomatic process, as well as a classic of medieval intercultural encounter. Readers interested in medieval European culture, the history of diplomacy, Italian and German medieval history, and the history of Byzantium will find this collection of translated texts rewarding. A full introduction and extensive notes help readers to place Liudprand's writings in context.

Сврставање река у редове и њена зависност од размера карте на примеру Лепенице

Author(s): Stefana Babović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 4/2012

The river system of Lepenica was drawn by using the GeoMedia programme in projections of 1:25 000, 1:50 000 and 1:300 000. Different type of information was shown using each of these projections, because smaller projections show more general information, and vice versa. Using the Horton, Strahler and Schrewe Methods we were able to divide rivers into types according to their sizes. We are also able to show the density of river network as well as their physio-geographical characteristics due to their dependence on each other. Big influence on the current appearance of the river network is due to one of the physio-geographic factors called geology. Geological composition of the Lepenica flow is very convoluted. This convolution is mainly based on their origin but it’s also stratigraphical. Based on the division of rivers into their types we are able to calculate the number of watercourses, based on the Schrewe Method. Using this method we can also make conclusions with regards to density of river network. Placing the rivers into different classes is mainly used as the basis of watercourse comparisons. These methods are not only used in hydrology, but also in many other scientific areas.

Сеизмизам као генетски фактор клизишта у сливу Белице

Author(s): Ana Milanović,Marko V. Milošević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2008

During map in Belica River Basin, it was found two areas with continuously developed landslides that could mark as sliding belt. Genetic analysis established that the development of the sliding belts cannot be fully explained on the basis of geological or geomorphologic features. Therefore, it was accessed, in this paper, to seismic analysis as potential genetic factor of this colluvial process. This analysis is required to analyze of recent seismism as well as paleoseismism. Genetic characteristic of the earthquake has been analyzed on the basis of data collected during instrumental period as well as the structural and morphological characteristics of the river basin and its surroundings.

It is located at the foot of the Rhodope Mountain, on the eastern side of the Assenitsa River, about 2.5 km north of Assen’s fortress and about 2 km north of another similar object of the sacred infrastructure of the Bessi in this region: Anathema. It has neither been studied nor published. It is a rock facility comprising several distinct enclosed spaces and connections between them, carved in one of the rocks over Asenovgrad, under one of the many chapels in the town: the St. Petka chapel.

Словенска етнографска карта на българските земи от XIX век

Author(s): Dragomir Yordanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2020

This article aims to examine and call more attention to an old, unduly disregarded ethnographic map from 1874, drafted by the Slovenian intellectual Maks Pleteršnik. The „Ethnographic Map of the Bulgarian Land“ outlines the territories across European Turkey populated by ethnic Bulgarians at the time. It is the first known ethnographic map authored by a non-Bulgarian to deal exclusively with the Bulgarian people, which makes it a document of particular importance. This article retraces the map‘s history in brief, elucidates the historical situation and the reasons for its drafting, and attempts to determine the sources used in its composition. The map is then subjected to an extensive analysis, with the goal of explicating its specific peculiarities as well as its shortcomings and virtues/ contributions. The book „Slovanstvo,“ wherein the map was first published as an appendix, is also given its due consideration. This article fills in a certain gap in research and hopefully will be of use not only to the scientific community, but a much wider readership as well.

СРЕДИЗЕМНОМОРСКОЕ ПОБЕРЕЖЬЕ АФРИКИ В «ГЕОГРАФИИ» ПТОЛЕМЕЯ И В «СТАДИАСМЕ ВЕЛИКОГО МОРЯ»

Author(s): Dmitry A. Shcheglov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 2/2018

The paper argues that the depiction of the Mediterranean coast of Africa in Ptolemy’s Geography was based on a source similar to the Stadiasmus of the Great Sea. Ptolemy’s and the Stadiasmus’ toponymy and distances between major points are mostly in good agreement. Ptolemy’s place names overlap with those of the Stadiasmus by 80%, and the total length of the coastline from Alexandria to Utica on Ptolemy’s map deviates from the Stadiasmus data by only 1% or 1.5% (in different recensions). A number of serious disagreements between Ptolemy’s map and the Stadiasmus regarding the length of particular coastal stretches can be explained by assuming that Ptolemy had to tailor the distance data derived from periploi to his other sources, especially, to the longitudes of the key reference points, such as Cape Phyces, Cyrena, Berenica, Aesporis (Eperos), Thena, and Carthage. A notable stretching and the subsequent contraction of the coast between Alexandria and Cyrenaica, as are exhibited by Ptolemy’s map relative to the Stadiasmus’ data, can be explained by assuming that several points on this coast were tied to the position of Crete, which was moved to the west being pushed by the westward shift of Rhodes. A sharp contraction of the two coastal stretches of the Great Sirte, oriented along the north-south direction, can be explained by Ptolemy’s erroneously underestimated value for the circumference of the Earth.

Српска картографија - од инжењерске до дигиталне

Author(s): Dragica Živković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 3/2012

Today’s territory of Serbia early appeared on geographical maps as it was a direct result of its territory in relation to the centres of the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. However, cartographic displays have long been scarce and uneven. Serbia’s separation from mainstream European cartography has affected its inaccurate displays, taking over data from old maps and relying on chronicles. This is why Serbia’s displays on maps and its cartographic heritage have to be observed dualistically, simultaneously as European cartographic displays of Serbia and Serbian cartography.

Сторожевые «башни» Испиджаба в археологической картографии

Author(s): Baurzhan Abishevich Baitanayev,Mikhail Aleksandrovich Antonov,Azamat Adilovich Yergeshbayev,Anatoliy Khayrutdinovich Shayakhmetov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 3/2020

The mapping data based on earlier archaeological surveys with the use of modern GIS technologies were presented. A database with archaeological data on the monuments typologically related to Karaultobe and settlement monuments of the early-medieval period of the Isfijab historical and cultural district was compiled. The data under study are mostly the results of explorations and surveys of monuments such as Karaultobe. The analysis was performed with the help of the ArcGIS mapping software. The geographical coordinates of each Karaultobe and the altitude map were used separately. The geographical points is a set of data obtained using GPS during the field research (archaeological explorations in particular). The altitude map is high-resolution radar data available on the US Geological Survey website. A digital map with data on the visibility of the chains of monuments and their functioning in the settlements of the region was created. The maps were created not only for publishing data in various formats and for navigation, but also for works that include displaying study analyses as a database. The aim of the project is to create a series of maps: the main map, where all objects are displayed, as well as a number of detailed maps of certain regions and maps with the results of the landscape analysis. In this paper, only some maps – small with simplified annotations – were used.

Строение пространства в «Географии» Птолемея: методологические сложности геореференцирования античных топонимов

Author(s): Dmitry A. Shcheglov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2019

In this paper I would like to draw attention to several features inherent to Ptolemy’s Geography that limit the effectiveness of different mathematical approaches to georeferencing (i.e. locating within the modern coordinate system) its unidentified places. Out of the 6,300 coordinate points listed in Ptolemy’s Geography, approximately 50% still don’t have recognized identifications on the modern map. This makes the Geography a real bonanza for researchers developing different methods to translate Ptolemy’s coordinates into the modern ones. Most of these methods can be effective only insofar as Ptolemy’s Geography is regarded as an example of what David Woodward called “equipollent-coordinate space” where “every place in the system is of equal geometric significance.” This kind of space is supposed to be as continuous and homogeneous as the space of the modern maps is. My central thesis is that Ptolemy’s space was closer to what Woodward has called “route-enhancing space,” in which “the routes are endowed with the importance of direct observation,” hiding behind the mask of the “equipollent” one. This hidden nature of Ptolemy’s space manifests itself in two interrelated aspects: it was discrete and hierarchically organized. On the one hand, there are reasons to suppose that most points on Ptolemy’s map were originally located not in relation to their nearest neighbors, but rather in relation to a few distant reference points. On the other hand, Ptolemy tended to distribute all places more evenly throughout the entire space they occupy and to round their coordinates as much as possible. These features of Ptolemy’s method result in that, even if he tried to follow his sources most closely, each separate point on his map could have been displaced relative to its original neighborhood. The displacements are often so significant and unpredictable that they cannot be adequately described by a single continuous function. Mathematical methods remain, of course, an important tool for studying Ptolemy’s Geography and, in particular, for georeferencing its unidentified places. However, like any instrument, these methods have limited effectiveness. The specific features of Ptolemy’s method pointed out in the present paper can contribute to our understanding of how these methods can be improved and enhanced.

ТЕМАТСКЕ КАРТЕ У ФУНКЦИЈИ ПРИВРЕДНОГ РАЗВОЈА СРБИЈЕ СА ОСВРТОМ НА НЕРАЗВИЈЕНА ПОДРУЧЈА

Author(s): Mirčeta Vemić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2009

Cartographic research of some territory, whether it is about a state, region or municipality, represents the concrete support for various analyses, estimations, projections and interventions in space. For some countries in certain period of development, the making of maps represented political activity of the highest state significance, and all with the aim of faster economic development and progress of the country, which is supported by many examples. In the recent times, out of such scientific and social needs and aims, thematic maps developed as a special form of applied maps. In relation to the traditional general–geographic maps, these maps are made by different methodology, in such a way that new thematic layers of the contents are added on the topographic or geographic basis. Different spatial and urban projects and plans are similarly made.Serbia, after the Berlin Congress, paid attention to cartographic research of the territory. With that aim, it educated personnel out of the country, and Cvijic was one of them. He had notable cartographic contribution as well as great scientific influence on other institutions of the country that were in cartography. However, even above significant cartographic projects achieved in the 20th century, Serbia still failed to keep up with the European countries, especially when it was thematic maps about, which directly influenced the economic development of the country. Little better results were noted in the field of spatial and urban planning. As undeveloped areas concerned, it has been obvious from the analysis of this paper that such documentation was partly made and dated earlier. There is an objective need to open many economic, demographic, cultural and ecological projects of the making of thematic maps, which would give new impulse to the economic development of the country.
