The Croatian Cartographic Society (CCS) was established on 10 October 2001. The journal Cartography and Geoinformation no. 16 from 2011 describes the history of CCS: the beginnings and development of the gathering of cartographic experts in Croatia and its first 10 years (Frančula et al. 2011). This review will focus on the period 2011−2021.
The main goal of the CCS is to promote and develop cartography and related areas for the common good. The areas of activity of CCS are culture and art, education, science and research and technical culture.
CCS achieves its goals by performing the following activities:
Encouraging creativity and application of scientific achievements in practical and professional work in all forms of cartographic activity
Work on scientific research and professional projects in cartography and related fields
Preparation of scientific and professional studies and expertises
Issuing publications in cartography and related fields in accordance with special regulations
Establishing and taking care of collections of maps, plans, books, photographs and other publications
Connecting with related institutions in Croatia and abroad
Giving opinions and assessments on the cartographic work of organizations and individuals when requested by the authorities or directly interested citizens
Organizing scientific and professional lectures, conferences, seminars, consultations, etc.
Publishing journals, professional and scientific publications, releases, etc.
International cooperation
Membership in international cartographic societies
Conferring awards and recognitions
Training and specialization of members in Croatia and abroad.
The first president of CCS was Miljenko Lapaine. From 2006 to 2009, Stanislav Frangeš served as president and was succeeded by Nada Vučetić. M. Lapaine has been the president of CCS since 2012.
The first secretary of CCS was Dražen Tutić, who was replaced in 2007 by Vesna Poslončec-Petrić. From 2010, D. Tutić once again served as the secretary. From 2012, the secretary was Martina Triplat Horvat. Ivka Kljajić, Miroslava Lapaine and Marina Viličić have been the secretaries since 2016.
In the last ten years, from 2011 to 2021, almost 40 sessions of the Presidency and 13 assemblies were held.
In 2002 CCS started publishing the first Croatian cartographic journal Cartography and Geoinformation (KiG). The first issue was promoted at the 1st Annual General Meeting, held on 18 December 2002. Until 2005, the journal was published annually, and since 2006 it has been published twice a year. So, by October 2011, issues 1–15 and one special issue on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Prof. Emeritus Nedjeljko Frančula were published. From 2011 until the end of 2021, issues 16–36 were published. The journal is bilingual; all articles are in Croatian and English. KiG is cited in several bibliographic databases. The editor-in-chief of issues 1−16 was Miljenko Lapaine. He was followed by Dražen Tutić (17−26), and then Ana Kuveždić Divjak (27−34) and then once again M. Lapaine. The journal is published in analogue and digital form with the financial support of the Ministry of Science and Education, sponsors and donors. In 2017, we received notification from Scopus that our journal had been re-evaluated by the Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board. It was decided that KiG would remain unchanged in Scopus. The reason for this decision is: This is a Croatian national geography journal with bilingual (!) (English/Croatian) articles of sufficient and consistent quality. Supporting reasons: + The journal maintains a convincing editorial policy. From issue no. 30, each article has a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). The Scribus open-source software was used to prepare the journal for text editing and printing.Frančula (2021a, b) recently wrote in more detail about KiG.

A sales contract was concluded, and CCS has become the owner of the premise. Design and development of the premises are forthcoming.
Congratulations to the Croatian Cartographic Society on its 20th anniversary and we wish it several more such anniversaries!

U časopisu Kartografija i geoinformacije br. 16 iz 2011. opisana je povijest HKD-a: početci i razvoj okupljanja kartografskih stručnjaka u Hrvatskoj te njegovih prvih 10 godina (Frančula i dr. 2011). U ovom prikazu bit će naglasak na razdoblju 2011−2021.
Osnovni cilj HKD-a je promicanje i razvoj kartografije i srodnih područja za opće dobro. Područja djelovanja HKD-a su kultura i umjetnost, obrazovanje, znanost i istraživanje i tehnička kultura.
HKD ostvaruje svoje ciljeve obavljanjem sljedećih djelatnosti:
poticanje stvaralaštva i primjena znanstvenih dostignuća u praktičnom i stručnom radu u svim oblicima kartografske djelatnosti
rad na znanstvenoistraživačkim i stručnim projektima iz kartografije i srodnih područja
izrada znanstvenih i stručnih studija, ekspertiza ili elaborata
izdavanje publikacija iz kartografije i srodnih područja u skladu s posebnim propisima
osnivanje i briga o zbirkama karata, planova, knjiga, fotografija i drugih publikacija
povezivanje sa srodnim institucijama u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu
davanje mišljenja i ocjena o kartografskom radu organizacija i pojedinaca kada to zatraže tijela vlasti ili neposredno zainteresirani građani
organiziranje znanstvenih i stručnih predavanja, skupova, seminara, savjetovanja i sl.
izdavanje časopisa, stručnih i znanstvenih publikacija, saopćenja i sl.
međunarodna suradnja
članstvo u međunarodnim kartografskim društvima
dodjela nagrada i priznanja
usavršavanje i specijalizacijom članova u Hrvatskoj i inozemstvu.
Prvi predsjednik HKD-a bio je Miljenko Lapaine. Od 2006. do 2009. dužnost predsjednika obnašao je Stanislav Frangeš kojega je naslijedila Nada Vučetić. Od 2012. predsjednik HKD-a je M. Lapaine.
Prvi tajnik HKD-a bio je Dražen Tutić, kojega je 2007. zamijenila Vesna Poslončec-Petrić. Od 2010. dužnost tajnika ponovno je obnašao D. Tutić. Od 2012. tajnica je bila Martina Triplat Horvat. Od 2016. tajnice su Ivka Kljajić, Miroslava Lapaine i Marina Viličić.
U posljednjih deset godina, od 2011. do 2021. održano je gotovo 40 sjednica Predsjedništva i 13 skupština.
Godine 2002. HKD je počeo s izdavanjem prvoga hrvatskog kartografskog časopisa Kartografija i geoinformacije (KiG). Prvi broj promoviran je na 1. godišnjoj skupštini, održanoj 18. prosinca 2002. Do 2005. časopis je izlazio godišnje, a od 2006. izlazi dva puta godišnje. Tako da su do listopada 2011. izašli brojevi 1–15 i jedan posebni broj u povodu 70. rođendana prof. emeritusa Nedjeljka Frančule. Od 2011. do kraja 2021. izašli su brojevi 16–36. Časopis je dvojezičan, svi su članci na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku. KiG se citira u nekoliko bibliografskih baza. Glavni urednik brojeva 1-16 bio je Miljenko Lapaine. Zatim dolazi Dražen Tutić (brojevi 17-26), pa Ana Kuveždić Divjak (27-34) i onda od broja 35 ponovno M. Lapaine. Časopis izlazi u analognom i digitalnom obliku uz financijsku potporu Ministarstva znanosti i obrazovanja, sponzora i donatora. Od Scopusa smo 2017. godine dobili obavijest da je naš časopis ponovno procijenio Scopus Content Selection and Advisory Board. Odlučeno je da KiG ostaje u Scopusu bez promjena. Razlog zbog kojeg je donijeta ta odluka glasi: This is a Croatian national geography journal with bilingual (!) (english/croatian) articles of sufficient and consistent quality. Supporting reasons: + The journal maintains a convincing editorial policy. Od broja 30 svaki članak ima DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Za pripremu časopisa za prijelom teksta i za tisak prešlo se na slobodan (open source) softver Scribus. Detaljnije o KiG-u napisao je nedavnoFrančula (2021a, b).
