# Katografi - Asaase ho mfoninyɛ

*Wɔatwerɛ nsɛm wei ɛwɔ **Asante** kasa mu*

A medieval depiction of the Ecumene (1482, Johannes Schnitzer, engraver), constructed after the coordinates in Ptolemy's *Geography* and using his second map projection. The translation into Latin and dissemination of *Geography* in Europe, in the beginning of the 15th century, marked the rebirth of scientific cartography, after more than a millennium of stagnation.

## Mapo Ahodoɔ

**General vs.thematic kartografi**

Sɛ wobɛte mapo ankasa ase no, wakyɛ mapo no mu mmienu baako no ne General ne kartografi. General kartografi no fa nnoɔma a ɛwɔ mapo ho nyinaa. General mapo no kyerɛ nkaeɛ ne beaeɛ na wasane yɛ no nni di soɔ nnidi soɔ. Nhwɛsoɔ ne 1:24,000 scale topographic mapo wɔ United States Geological Survey(USGS) a ɛda fam wo de to to 1:50,0000scale Canadian mapo.

**Thematik Katorgrafi**

Wɔde no ho hyɛ mapo bi a ɛwɔ beaeɛ bi mu a ɛkɔ ma nipakuo bi mo. Nhwɛsoɔ no bi bɛyɛ dot mapo a ɛkyerɛ corn a wɔyɛ no wɔ Indiana anaa beaeɛ bi wɔ Ohioa a wakyɛ mu choropleth.

**Topografik vs. topologikal**

Topografik mapo yɛ adeɛ wayɛ ama asaase ho mfonini a ɛkyerɛ beaeɛ a ahosuo nyinaa wɔ mu. Terrain nyinaa wɔkyerɛ wɔ akwan ahodoɔ so.

Wɔ ɛberɛ yi mu yi kwan a wobɛtumi de asaase ho mfonini ayɛ adwuma paa ne sɛ wode kɔmputa software de bɛyɛ digital elevation models a enha adwene.

Topological mapo yɛ mapo a ɔtaa de yɛ adwuma, a ɔyɛɛ bi wɔ ntomago so. Wɔntaa mfa scale nnye adwuma nanso ɛde ɛmu da hɔ ne kwan kyerɛho nsɛm na to dwa. Beck's London Underground mapo yɛ mfonini nhwɛsoɔ. Ne nyinaa mu no ɛno na wɔde ayɛ adwuma paa "The Tube".

**Mapo Asiesie**

Abɛɛfo mfidie a ɛbinom ne printing a eboa ma yɛnya Geografi informatiom system ne Graphics software ne internet aboa ama biribia mapo yɛ nnyɛ den aboa ama asiesie no ho nnoɔma no nso ebi abɛka ho.

**Mapo Botaeɛ ne Nipa**

Mapo wɔ botaeɛ ne ho nipa. Ne botaeɛ bɛtumi ayɛ kɛse te sɛdeɛ ɔkyerɛ anisoɔ ne amanyɔ tie wɔ wiase afa nan nyinaa anaa ketewa bi te sɛdeɛ wodaada wo yɔnko ama ɔde ne wallo akɔ akyire.
