On the New Approach to Determining Areas from Maps

U kartometriji, posebnoj grani kartografije, razvijen je niz različitih metoda za određivanje površina s karata. Maling (1989) navodi, među ostalim, i određivanje površine na temelju jednostavnih geometrijskih likova, usporedbom sa standardnim likovima, metodom kva­dra­ta, metodom brojenja čvorova kvadratne mreže, metodom mjerenja obilaženjem ruba teritorija (pla­­nimetriranje), metodom vaganja.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
