Özet

Cartography, serving as a medium of interpretation and visualization, assumes a vital role as a mechanism for proficient communication. Its prevalent utilization is notably evident within the educational sphere, predominantly in primary educational institutions such as schools. The visual portrayal facilitated by maps enables young learners to assimilate knowledge and cultivate proficiencies related to their immediate surroundings and spatial cognition. The creation and formulation of such maps demand meticulous scrutiny and contemplation of a myriad of factors that wield influence over children, encompassing facets pertinent to their cognitive maturation and development. Within the context of this research, a comprehensive set of 16 maps were curated and devised. Among these, 8 maps constitute the primary category, encompassing the political map delineating municipalities, the administrative map showcasing cities, the regions map, the physical geographical map, the tourism and economy map, the agriculture map, the farming map, and the climate map. The remaining 8 maps belong and focus on tourism and economy, with particular emphasis placed on each of the 8 regions comprising the Republic of North Macedonia. These maps were carried out as part of the realization of the "Atlas of North Macedonia for primary school pupils" project. This atlas has been compiled and designed for pupils aged 6 to 10.
