NATIONAL ATLAS OF MONGOLIA
In today’s era of scientific and technological development, many countries around the world are publishing their national atlases and converting them into digital forms, giving them a new look and accessibility to others. The Digital National Atlas is an innovative solution that increases access to information, provides a variety of uses, and enables the open and equitable distribution of knowledge to the public.
In alignment with this global trend, Mongolia is converting parts of its National Atlas of Mongolia (NAM) into digital forms to provide information to every citizen, increase opportunities for knowledge acquisition, make scientific research results accessible to the public through cartographic language, and introduce advanced technological solutions that meet the needs of various sectors. The Digital NAM consists of a total of 132 maps organized into five chapters in both Mongolian and English, and is a publication with a comprehensive scientific and cartographic content.
Making the NAM publicly available and online will offer users the following advantages:
- In line with the global movement toward open, accessible, and inclusive science in the digital age, the Digital NAM will accelerate the dissemination of knowledge and information sharing.
- Anyone interested in the atlas from all over the world, regardless of location, age, gender, ethnicity, social status, and economic capability, will be able to access, explore, and use general information about the history, geography, natural resources, society, and economy of Mongolia.
- By providing domestic and international researchers and enthusiasts with access to cartographic presentations of research findings across various scientific fields in our country, we can enhance the exchange of scientific information and foster opportunities for future collaboration.
