【 摘 要 】

Ethnocartography is an umbrella term for a number of methods applied in ethnology for the spatialrepresentation of a selected folk culture phenomenon. Historically, the application of ethnocartographicmethods can be divided into three stages: pre-ethnocartography (1700s to early 1800s), earlyethnocartography (early 1800s to 1930s) and scientific cartography. One of the fundamental issues inethnocartography shared across all these periods is the nature of the data historical data which areoverwhelmingly unbalanced in favor of some phenomena to the point of ignoring others, as well asthe intrinsic inseparability of data on folk culture from their geographical, historical, chronological andsocio-economic context. While this continues to be a major challenge, we believe these limitations can beovercome using the latest in digital technology, especially the geographic information systems (GIS), andthis papers discusses the application of such technologies in the context of Czech ethnology.
