| Abstract: | The author outlines a structured approach to the use of maps in monitoring environmental change and natural hazards. Four levels of mapping are identified, corresponding to the activities of initial information gathering, preliminary forecasting, operational forecasting and control, and impact assessment. Cartographic monitoring of forest fires provides an example of the procedure. Translated from: Vestnik Moskovskogo Universiteta, geografiya, 1982, No. 6, pp. 79-84. |
