INDIVIDUAL GEOINFORMATIC AND CARTOGRAPHIC PROJECTS: A CASE STUDY IN VÁC, HUNGARY

This article presents the findings and methods employed in two individual projects: the Individual Geoinformatic Project (IGP) and the Individual Cartographic Project (ICP). The projects were conducted in the town of Vác, Hungary, with the IGP focusing on environmental measurements and the ICP on mapping tourist attractions. The goals of the projects were to design and create maps, develop a geodatabase, and produce related materials such as reports and presentations. The project area covered a specific part of Vác, including prominent landmarks, historic sites, and residential areas. Data for the projects were collected through field surveys and office work, using various data sources and tools such as GPS devices and ArcGIS Collector. The process involved planning, data collection, and extensive laboratory work to process and analyze the acquired data. The results include two sets of environmental maps and two touristic maps, as well as a comprehensive website showcasing the findings. The article concludes with recommendations for future projects, highlighting the importance of continuous data collection and more sophisticated measurement techniques for accurate map representations.
