DETERMINATION OF THE CITY CENTRE. STUDY FOR THE TROJMIASTO AGGLOMERATION

Abstract

Determination of the centre of the city or agglomeration or generally the geographic area is a task which is often undertaken as part of the promotional actions realized by local authorities or directly by inhabitants. Nowadays, especially due to the development and availability of positioning technology and satellite imaging, this job is undertaken within the framework of general didactic tasks and group projects during the study course in the field of geography, spatial planning, geographic information systems (GIS), but mainly geodesy and cartography. The task can be solved using the properties of a topological space or in Euclidean or metric space. The example given in the article was practically completed by the Scientific Hevelius Circle at the Technical University of Gdansk and it referred to the centre of the Tricity agglomeration (Trójmiasto - Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot in Poland).
