collect, store and process data consisting of certain information about certain areas of the
earth’s surface. In modern times, maps are more necessary for studying, systematizing,
analyzing the current situation in the environment and protecting the fragile balance between
people and the environment than for the purpose of describing geographical objects. Forecasts

relations. . CIS has an important role in the development of all administrative regions included
