Fundaments of Basic Maps for the Digital Documentation of Public Utilities and Municipalities

Abstract

In Hungary, bringing about modern graphic and alphanumerical information systems that ensure modern updating and data supply are much needed in several fields, thus in the field of land survey, public utility and municipality registration. The paper gives a short summary about the present state of digital basic mapmaking. This is primarily about the traditional and digital versions of basic maps that serve as basis for the digital public utility documentation. As of the writing of this paper, there are already some towns where the production of up-to-date digital basic maps has got under way as part of the National Cadastral Program.
