On the New Approach to Determining Areas from Maps
Nedjeljko Frančula, Miljenko Lapaine
Abstract
In cartometry, a special branch of cartography, a number of different methods have been developed to determine areas from maps. Maling (1989) specifies, among other things, area determination based on simple geometric figures, by comparison with standard figures, the square method, the method of counting the nodes of a square grid, the method of measuring by going around the edge of a territory (planimetrics), the weighing method.
