Abstract

In this paper we analyzed absolute linear deformations of conformal map projections for geographic area containing the territory of Serbia. The main goal was to determine optimal conformal projection for analyzed area, based on obtained values of linear scale in various projection variations. Four variants of cylindrical, three variants of conic and two variants of planar projections are included in the analysis. All selected projections were or still are in use for the analyzed area. In most of the previous studies deformations were analyzed for an area bounded by two parallels and two meridians, but in this paper we singled out and analyzed projection deformations that occurred within the boundaries of the mapping area. Based on the conducted analyses we concluded which conformal projection would be optimal choice for analyzed geographic territory, as well as for some other similar areas.

Keywords
