Geographical Atlas of Kakheti Region Published
The Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography of Tbilisi State University, an institution with extensive experience in the field of geographical atlases, has prepared another noteworthy work entitled “Geographical Atlas of the Kakheti Region.” This atlas, spanning 214 pages, encompasses a wide array of subjects, including the location, history, nature, territorial organization, natural conditions and resources, population, economy, education, culture, and tourism. In addition to maps, the atlas incorporates texts, diagrams, graphs and photographs. The atlas is accompanied by an extensive bibliography.
The author of the Atlas concept is Guliko Liparteliani, who holds a doctorate in Geography and serves as the Head of the Cartography and Geoinformatics Laboratory at the Institute of Geography. A substantial team of authors contributed to the preparation of the materials and the compilation of the maps.
In 2018, the Institute of Geography developed a concept and methodology for regional mapping. This initiative envisages the compilation of complex atlases for 12 regions of Georgia in the form of a series, entitled “Regional Atlases of Georgia.” The atlases will be compiled and prepared for publication in stages. The Geographical Atlas of the Kakheti Region is the first volume of this series. To date, only copyright copies of the atlas have been printed at the Tbilisi State University Printing House.
