SIMULATION MODELOF AN AEROPHOTOGRAMMETRIC SURVEY DEDICATED TO THE COMPREHENSION OF THE METHODS USED IN THE CREATION OF MAPS FOR CHILDREN

摘要

The study of cartography since the beginning of school has more and more reaffirmed its importance, since students learn how to read and comprehend maps, becoming its users. It is also important to make the resources used in the confection of maps explicit to children, so that they get able to correspond the map to what it is representing. From the proceedings of surveys used for the map's elaboration, the one proceeding from the aerophotogrammetric survey most attracts children's attention, since the photography is a palpable, perceptible and very representative material. Nevertheless, children are not able to comprehend well the survey itself due to the difficulty to visualize how it is executed. This study is about the elaboration of a simulation model of an aerophotogrammetric survey, which matches a reduced model from an area of the Universidade Estadual de Maringa with a light projection model. This combination makes possible for children to comprehend how an aerophotogrammetric survey is elaborated, and also helps them to understand concepts like scale, altitude, vertical projection, oblique projection, contour line and datum plane, from others, in an attractive and entertaining way.
