Course Objectives		This lecture provides the students to create GIS input data which she/he will use subsequently, and also to produce and evaluate the outputs in a Geomatics Engineering sense considering cartographic design criteria. For the reason, the fundamental goal is that the students gain skills at thematic map design for different user groups and design environments.
Course Description		Cartography II is a course which covers cartographic design and production processes of thematic maps commonly produced in GIS; especially in terms of establishment of multi-purpose databases and generalization of them. It includes issues related to representation of geometric and semantic information depending on the design environment, considers user expectations, create a map-use awareness and evaluates spatial thinking.
Course Outcomes		1 Judge thematic and topographic map design (6), 2 Define spatial data (2), Identify the volume of spatial data (2), organize and categorize it (4), 3 Interpret the spatial data in terms of its content and accuracy (4), 4 Evaluate and criticize maps created by different methods by considering cartographic design issues and visual outcomes of GIS analysis (6), 5 Review up-to-date methods and technologies and (2) apply them (3), 6 Arrange and organize cartographic production process (5).
