Abstract

AbstractAbstractAn examination is made of the theoretical relationship between the processes of map use and of map making, in which the map is regarded as a communication system. This has developed from practical work originally done with regard to a series of school atlases in Czechoslovakia. A Commission on 'Cartographic Information' is recommended.
