Zpráva o plenárním zasedání komise národních atlasů – UGI v Budapešti ve dnech 7-12 září 1962

Summary

The report records the International Geographical Union’s National Atlas Commission meeting in Budapest, 7–12 September 1962, which reviewed national and regional atlas projects and mapping techniques. Karel Kuchař advocated periodic updating and deeper thematic treatment to improve comparability across countries. The commission refined plans to harmonize atlas contents, legends, statistical documentation and map commentaries, promote exchanges and develop comprehensive regional atlases; it recommended national cartographic documentation centres. Working groups were established for population maps, continuing critical reporting on national atlases, map notes and commentaries, and statistics and industrial maps.
