Abstract
Production of civilian topographic maps is, traditionally, not common in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Such maps were produced by the Military Geographical Institute in Belgrade – military institution of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. However, production of the so-called basic state maps was reserved for civil surveying (cartographic) institutes. Basic topographic maps (in Federation Bosnia and Herzegovina- FB&H) have not been updated for more than 20 years. Due to that fact, it has been concluded that, instead of updating the existing maps, it is necessary to develop new metrology for create topographic maps by using the available sources and new technologies. This paper provides a proposal for creating a new methodology for developing basic topographic maps at 1:5000 and 1:10000 scales. It is also necessary to emphasise that the Federal Administration for Geodetic and Property Affairs (FGA) initiated the creation of fundamental assumptions for contemporary development in the fields of cadastre and cartography. So, the FGA adopted the development strategies, cadastre and topographic models, established the real estate cadastre database and geoportals, etc.
Highlights
Topographic maps are used in many sciences, with special application in earth science, and serve as a reliable basis for spatial research and analysis
Since basic topographic maps always use sets of cartographic data collected for larger scale topographic plans the following vector datasets have been collected for spatial coverage of Municipality of Neum: a) Real estate cadastre datasets, b) Information and data from analogue topographic plans at 1:500, 1:1000 and 1:2500 scales, c) digital orthophoto plans, d) digital terrain model and e) Information about topographic data model
Data required for the real estate cadastre database were acquired by vectorization of cadastre plans, as well as regular cadastre maintenance – geodetic surveying, i.e. recording the changes that occurred over time
Summary
Topographic maps are used in many sciences, with special application in earth science, and serve as a reliable basis for spatial research and analysis. Traditional area of application for large scale topographic maps includes spatial and urban planning, i.e. general plans for municipality and settlements planning and development. Another area of application is technical projects in preimplementation stages [1, 2]. Bosnia and Herzegovina did cultivate certain activities related to development of basic topographic maps; those activities have been stagnating for over 20 years. Additional assumptions for initiating the development project of basic topographic maps have been created. Tehnički vjesnik 23, 6(2016), 1849-1854 adopting the topographic data model, populating the real estate cadastre database, existence of latest orthophoto digital plans, staff able to bring forth the project, funding and other conditions
