A national atlas is an atlas that systematically depicts a country's nature, society, economy, culture, etc. using numerous maps based on reliable surveys and statistical data. Many national atlases are produced by national cartographical agencies, but some are also produced by national statistical agencies, academies, and universities. The contents of national atlases are as follows: (1) nature (geographical location, topography, geology, climate, land water, vegetation, oceans, etc.); (2) society (ethnic groups, population, residential patterns, etc.); (3) economy (land use, industry, transportation, finances, income, etc.); and (4) culture (language, religion, education, cultural assets, etc.). They generally consist of numerous thematic maps and their explanations. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
