Abstract

The designed program of integrated geographical atlas of the Perm Territory for educational purposes has been developed for universities. It is a handbook where the aims and objectives, spheres of application, structure and content, organizational issues are defined. According to the given program the atlas “Geography of the Perm Territory” has been created by the professors and students of the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics of Perm State National Research University (PSNRU). The inner unity of the atlas as a system is provided by the unified projection, a set of scales, unified principles of cartographic generalization, consensual system of legend and a unified design. The modern techniques and methods of geoinformation mapping were applied while creating the atlas. The designed atlas has 108 maps, made in ArcGIS10.4.1. The introduction of the atlas includes geoinfographics about geographical position of the region, satellite images, and up-to-date maps administrative and territorial division and a physical map. In the first chapter of the atlas “Physical Geography” the natural conditions of the region are characterized by a series of 72 theme maps. This chapter contains nine sub-sections:

  • Geological structure;
  • Relief;
  • Climate;
  • Surface water;
  • Soil;
  • Vegetation;
  • Wildlife;
  • Landscapes;
  • Adverse natural processes and phenomena.

In the second chapter of the atlas “Social-economic geography” the social and economic conditions of the Perm Territory are characterized by a series of 36 theme maps. This chapter contains three sub-sections:

  • Population;
  • Social infrastructure;
  • Economy.

The maps in the atlas are followed by additional information, designed by the modern methods of geoinfographics and infographics. All maps in the atlas are harmonized and are complimentary to each other. The complexity of the atlas is defined by the circle of its users: the professors and teachers of high and secondary schools, students and pupils, specialists in geography and connected sciences, state agencies and all people who are interested in geography and local studies.
