Abstract
Modelling of thematic Digital atlas of the Boka Kotorska gulf within geographic information system
Highlights
The coastline of Montenegro is characterized by two geographically different areas: the Boka Kotorska Gulf and the coast south of this gulf, from Miriste Cape to the estuary of the Bojana River into the Adriatic Sea
The Boka Kotorska Gulf belongs to the group of the most beautiful world fiords and it is registered in the World Cultural Heritage under UNESCO protection, but, the total geographic contents, hydrological and hydrographical phenomena of the Gulf have not been analysed and portrayed enough yet which represents one of the factors having significant influence during research upon the approach to planning, making and atlas remapping of the part of the Gulf area within certain geographic information system (GIS)
Remapping of the Boka Kotorska Gulf area is possible to carry out by collection, analysis and processing of existing and updated data within certain GIS software. Once they were collected, checked, updated and georeferenced bathymetric, hydrographical, oceanographical and topographical data were converted using planned and controlled procedures into vector form, they are placed into spatial data bases which can form the Modelling of thematic Digital atlas of the Boka Kotorska gulf within geographic information system basis of modelling and development of thematic Digital atlas of the Boka Kotorska Gulf within geographic information system
Summary
The coastline of Montenegro is characterized by two geographically different areas: the Boka Kotorska Gulf and the coast south of this gulf, from Miriste Cape to the estuary of the Bojana River into the Adriatic Sea. Modern concepts of making thematic, regional and national atlases are applied by the great number of relevant state cartographic institutions at the global level. Certain models of making thematic atlases and different atlas information systems have been, among others, developed by state cartographic institutions of the Czech Republic [3], Austria [14], and Switzerland [16]. In the second decade of the 21st century, along with the development of the modern technology and global network of Internet, the need for designing of thematic web atlases occurs more and more. As a result of this, development of new concepts of making and Tehnički vjesnik 24, 5(2017), 1627-1634 structuring of different cartographic digital data is required [18]
