Automation of thematic cartography in Hungary in Geographical essays in Hungary.
The paper covers the problems of geographical information systems, the perspectives of cartographic application of factor analysis, the COMAPO system and the FOTOMASK procedure and the automatic computing of diagrams and their cartographic

The maps are classified into general geographical and thematic maps. The general geographical maps can be topographic or chorographic maps, which show objects that help orientation. The thematic maps are made with another objective: to represent
the spatial distribution of natural and social phenomena including their characteristics, structure and functions. This explains why the makers of thematic maps have always used various methods to visualize their topic. This paper gives an overview
of the development of the representation methods of thematic map making. - (AM)
Eine Grundstruktur kartographischer Modellbildung. (A fundamental structure of cartographic modelling)
The structure of cartographic modelling is presented by subdivision of its methodics into spatial-thematic, mathematic-cartographie and graphic-semiotic modelling. The following concepts are described as features of cartographic models: spatial

Results of an experiment to evaluate thematic mapping abilities of second-grade students. Demonstrated that students of this age group (7 years) have the ability to describe spatial patterns. - (DWG)
Wide spread of personnel computers forces the use of all available input devices for cartographic information digitizing. The paper deals with the results of experiments on digitizing of different traditional cartographical documents by dekstop
publishing scanner and processing of such images by raster painting programmes. One of the most effective usages of such scanner in geographical practical work is the digitizing of contour maps for further thematic maps composition and design. - (L'A.).

The paper demonstrates a cartographic communication model by the modelling of thematic maps in which the integration of maps in the courses of action is considered. It enables the formal description of different situations of action
Fundamental aspects of cartographical simulation, essence of the system account in cartography role of cartographers and geographers in thematical mapping of geographical phenomena. Positive and negative aspects in utilization of mathematical
methods and aimed transformation of cartographical fundamentals for the performance of specific geographical states of affairs.
In 1977 issued a significant cartographic publication-the Military Geographic Atlas. All continents are graphically represented in this extensive cartographic work in various scales and thematically different maps. Some basic data concerning
the amount and the structure of the atlas, the thematic division, the system of scales and cartographic represented territories are mentioned. (MS).
Digital as well as photographic satellite image data offer a high potential of topographic and thematic information. The paper discusses the application of such data for mapping purposes. Main emphasis is laid on a new map type, the Satellite Image
of data, and integration of graphical elements. An increase in cartographic applications of satellite remote sensing data is anticipated.
On the example of the Map of Groundwater Regionalization in the Czech Republic the inevitable cooperation with cartographers and geographers is discussed. The use of different types of dashes or numerical codes belongs among the appropriate method

Leading from the explanation of cartography's tasks and the technically unique cartographic view on remote sensing data, it links up to the cartographic use of the data material. The A. describes the direct and indirect applications with regard
to topographic and thematic maps and reports from various practical projects in order to illustrate the main points. Finally the future dimension of remote sensing cartography within the field of developing geographical information system (GIS) is pointed out.
