Course Objectives		This lecture aims to execute concrete applications of fundamental knowledge, to improve spatial thinking and critical reasoning of students on all kind of maps design, production and map use by using theoretical information of cartography.
Course Description		This lecture covers basic cartographic rules (map object classification, generalization, symbolization, etc.) for topographic and thematic map design. Develops critical thinking on maps and design of maps by using different tools of cartography. Discussion on design medium like Internet, web, screen map, paper and any printing materials.
Course Outcomes		Students who pass this course, will be able to; 1 Tell cartography and map elements in a large scale. 2 Describe cartographic design issues and analyze factors affecting cartographic design. 3 Judge thematic and topographic map design. 4 Judge the generalization level for thematic and topographic map production based on purpose and scale. 5 Choose object representations for map production based on professional standards (regulation (BÖHHBÜY)). 6 Judge the characteristics that a good map should have, and interpret other cartographic characteristics, 7 Apply cartometric exercises on maps and interpret the results. 8 Comprehend and explain visual communication strength of maps.
