Summary
The thesis deals with usage of cartography in genealogy. The aim of the thesis was to build a web application for cartography visualization of family relationships
(wider family tree) by using methods of thematic cartography with possibility of upload photos and printing. Existing applications do not allow cartography
visualization of family relationships. This was one of the reasons for making the web application Rodomap. Based on the entered information by users, application
generates a map of the family. It automatically draws and places the basic compositional elements as title, map filed, legend, scale and colophon. According to
the specified attribute of a family member, it creates appropriate cartographic symbol and draws it on the map. The application offers user the possibility of
saving the data in the database and printing the final map. Application puts emphasis on simplicity of use.
A new method was created to represent family relationships by the method of point symbols and created sign key for expressing the necessary information. The application was developed using technology Microsoft SQL Server, C#, ASP.NET, Java Script, AJAX. It was placed on the server and ensure domain for its run. The application is available on www.rodomap.cz.
The benefit of the created web application is to enable the general public to build map of family members, without expert knowledge of cartography and genealogy.
Inserting spatial information to family members allows to create new methods and forms of representation of spatial imagination deployment of members.
