===== Mapping =====

“Mapping” in a geography derived understanding describes the representation of information in a spatial context. In the spatial planning context, mapping is mostly used as a cartographic or figurative representation of spatial units, concepts and designs.

//In the [[:wiki:alpesbackground|AlpES project]] the mapping is used in two different contexts: The mapping of ecosystems (see term [[:wiki:ecosystem_mapping_alpes|Ecosystem mapping]]) describes the delineation of ecosystem types. The mapping of ecosystem services (see term [[:wiki:ecosystem_mapping_alpes|Ecosystem mapping]]) focuses on the (spatial) representation of ES indicator values derived from the assessment.//
