Plan (cartography)

The plan is mapping a Large scale (detailed) map that without significant simplification and almost without because of the large representation of the contained objects generalization manages.

Cartographic plans serve u. a. for the following purposes (order on an increasing scale):

• Clear representation of a larger settlement: city map, general plan , street plan
• Representation of a state aimed at by municipal planning: development plan , land use plan
• Representation of the site , large technical facilities or ownership structure: z. B. Site plan , contour lines - or site plan , cadastral plan , inventory plan , track plan
• Representation of a local situation in the area or a building through a greatly enlarged section for a submission plan or staking out , route or point descriptions , etc.

Plans of the latter two types usually have a scale greater than 1: 5000 (cadastral and inventory plans up to 1: 1000 or 500, staking out around 1: 200).

In terms of scale and content, there is a smooth transition to the structural engineering plans such as building drawings or technical drawings .
