| Popis: | Spatial planning and performing engineering and environmental projects in cross-border regions requires the recognition of planning tools and cartographic bases used on both sides of the interstate boundary. To fully describe positions in relation to the earth, the geodetic coordinate system and Cartesian coordinate system are employed. The existence of multiple coordinate systems is really a hindrance to our map production, updates and revision. Historically, different ellipsoids have been chosen by Kosovo and Albania in order to simplify surveying and mapping in their region and as such these ellipsoids are not necessarily geocentric. Therefore, we must make effort to identify them, know them, know their relationship and finally are able to move from one system to the other. The paper analyzes the mathematical elements of topographic maps and geodetic measurements currently used in Kosovo and Albania as basement for developing of geospatial data.Unification of geospatial materials/databases and the results of geodetic works that covering the Kosovo – Albanian border territory requires accurate usage of their mathematical geospatial elements such reference ellipsoid, map projection, coordinate system, geodetic datum etc. on both sides of the border.Many GIS software packages have the ability to convert data from one datum to another. However, we may find our-selves in a situation where the software conversions that are readily available will not solve our datum conversion problem. Kosovo and Albania have implemented algorithms through which the coordinates are transformed from one system to another.However, for cross-border areas, programs should be implemented to enable the transformation of coordinates and the content of topographic maps into a unique and acceptable system of these countries. This paper also addresses the necessity and unification methods and standards of geospatial data that cover cross-border region. |
