Learning outcomes
To provide professional knowledge of the theory and methodology of thematic mapping, to form practical skills in drawing up thematic maps (socio-economic) and the principles of mapping phenomena and mapping processes.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1) know the basics of cartography: methods and means of mapping, types of maps, types of legends, history of mapping; 2) be able to search and analyze statistical and thematic information for creating maps; 3) have the skills to work in modern GIS programs.
Course content
The course consists of three content modules. The first is devoted to the study of the conceptual and methodological foundations of mapping socio-economic phenomena and processes: the principles of development and classification of socio-economic maps, methods and means of mapping, features of mapping social phenomena, principles and approaches to editing socio-economic maps are revealed.The second module reveals the topics and methods of creating economic maps: agriculture, industry, transport and communication maps. The third module considers the subject and methodology of developing infrastructure maps: industrial and social. This is the creation of maps of the population and demographic situation, maps of service, science, education, culture, health care. Historical, political-administrative and political maps are considered separately. For various types of maps, the methodology of their development and construction of a cartographic image, the development of a legend, and the creation of a design are outlined. The principles of generalization and editing are revealed.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The level of achievement of all planned learning outcomes is determined by the results of laboratory, independent, modular control tests and assessment. The specific weight of learning results in the final assessment, provided that it is mastered at the appropriate level, is as follows: - semester assessment: 1. Modular control work 1: RN 1.1–1.4, 2.1, 2.2 – 10 points. 2. Modular control work 2: RN 1.5–1.6, 2.3 – 10 points. 3. Laboratory works: RN 1.4 – 4.1 – 30 points. 4. Independent work: grade 1.1 - 1.6 - 10 points. - final evaluation: in the form of credit
Assessment methods and criteria
The final grade from the educational component, the final form of control of which is the exam, is defined as the sum of grades (points) for all successfully assessed study results of 60 points and the exam of 40 points. Scores below the minimum threshold level are not added to the final score. Completion of all laboratory works and modular control works is mandatory for obtaining a positive final grade (60 points and above).
