Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Baltic Sea Region (BSR) has long been important in many aspects. The BSR is the first region in the world that has adopted common regional goals fos sutainable development. It is estimated that there will be a considerable increase in the number of regional geographic information strategies being implemented through the world in the next ten years. It will naturally raise interest in synthetic geographic information on the BSR, as on one of the most developed regions in the world. Atlas of the Baltic Sea Region (ABSR) has been planned as a complex and consistent cartographic edition with a purpose to represent the region as a whole in the best way possible. The goal of the paper is to introduce with a different user's groups and their specific needs. General difficulties and strengths (high level SWOT analysis) are described. The contents of the Atlas are designed as a modular structure that allows combining units of the Atlas in the most convenient way. It has been sought for most comprehensive territorial generalization of the accumulated scientific knowledge. The structure and particular maps are planned in a way to integrate natural and socio-cultural aspects as well as history and geography of the region, to demonstrate internal territorial links and provide a macro-regional context. Description of implementation focuses on the breakdown of project activities and tasks that illustrates the entire framework of ABSR including time schedule. Resources (hardware, software, information, knowledge) and responsibilities of team members are assigned to each task. Modern approach to design and management of the informational system for the Atlas and modern cartographic technologies were chosen to assure efficiency of works.

- The creation of trans-border regions, as a reality or as a symbol, has to overcome state territorial indoctrination, because the names given to areas are often defined by the extent of influence of each state. Border studies encompass a wide range of scholarship, ranging from legal studies of demarcations and territorial rights to the study of border narratives and symbols, formal cross-border cooperation, and the actual spatial behaviour of borderland inhabitants. Where territorial states are in juxtaposition, differences between the jurisdictions have led to a hierarchical asymmetry that produces discords. The period 1989– 1991 marks a sudden and profound change in the political geography of Europe. The birth, rebirth, and disappearance of territorial states led to a totally new situation of borders, both in their demarcation and in their degree of openness, and the sudden transformation of boundaries into international borders had profound impacts on cross-border transactions. The present political map of Europe hides a palimpsest of earlier territorial divisions, some forgotten, and others brought to memory by irredentist interests or by nostalgic tourists. Even after the eradication of the “east” and “west” dichotomy (or the move eastwards of the divide), many border-related issues remain. The relaxation of border controls in the Schengen Area has led to new developments. “Sleeping abroad and working at home” is a tendency in several borderlands, reflecting differences in the availability of housing and job opportunities in the adjacent states, but this also creates problems with taxation and the right to social services and education, even in areas with a common language.
