Within the freehand map that you made locate where the capital of your country is and where the state/department/province where you live is.

I created a freehand map of Pakistan where I live. The provinces and large cities are among the primary features that are displayed. Islamabad the capital of Pakistan is situated in the country north. It is the nation political and administrative hub and is a planned metropolis encircled by picturesque hills. Islamabad draws tourists from all over Pakistan because of its serene surroundings state of the art facilities and famous sites like Daman e-l Koh and Faisal Mosque. On the map one of the provinces is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where I reside.

Situated in Pakistan northwest it is well known for its stunning mountain scenery warm hospitality and vibrant culture. Traditions and history are deeply ingrained in this area. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa there are diligent individuals who are proud of their background. It is also well-known for its mouthwatering cuisine particularly its traditional rice dishes and chapli kebabs which are popular throughout the nation. I am from Lakki Marwat a small village in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

This community is a unique place to live because it is serene and surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Lakki Marwat residents are straightforward compassionate and bonded to one another. Agriculture and customs are fundamental to the peaceful way of life here. Despite being a small village the people there appreciate hard work and education. I have a great respect for simplicity and the value of remaining rooted in my heritage because I live in Lakki Marwat.

Locate within the map you made some states/departments/provinces that you know by heart

On the map I have depicted my nation's northern regions. This area is a well-liked travel destination because of its stunning beauty. It encompasses regions encircled by towering mountains verdant valleys and crystal-clear rivers such as Gilgit Baltistan Hunza and Swat. These regions are well-known for their serene surroundings and breathtaking natural features such as Nanga Parbat and the Karakoram Range. A distinct section of Pakistan the northern regions are also home to distinctive cultures and customs.

I have emphasized these northern areas on the map because they are significant to our nation's identity and are also aesthetically pleasing. To take in the sights and learn about the rich culture tourists travel from all over the world to these locations. This region Pakistan takes pride in it because of its well-known mountain peaks and adventure destinations. Many people's dream is to visit the northern regions because of its unparalleled beauty and tranquil atmosphere.

Mention 3 places in your country that you still don't know and that you would love to visit and why

Punjab Sindh and Balochistan are the three provinces in my nation that I haven't yet had the opportunity to visit. I would love to discover the distinct cultures and natural beauty of each of these areas. Punjab is renowned for its vibrant festivals mouthwatering cuisine and historical landmarks like Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque. Ancient sites like Mohenjo-Daro serene beaches and the allure of Karachi are all found in Sindh. Learning more about my nation would be greatly enhanced by visiting these locations.

Another destination I'd like to visit is Balochistan. It is renowned for its breathtaking natural features including as the mountains beaches and Hingol National Park in Gwadar. The province distinctive culture includes traditional crafts cuisine and music that differ from the the remainder of the nation. I could see a more peaceful uncomplicated aspect of Pakistan if I go to Balochistan. I would have a deeper appreciation for my nation's rich history and variety if I traveled to these three provinces.

What is a map for you?

A map in my opinion is similar to a guide that improves our understanding of an area. It displays how towns nations and even the entire world are laid out. Roads towns rivers and mountains may all be found on a map. It helps you plan your vacations or just learn about different areas much like a picture of the world in front of you. Maps make it simple to get directions and learn new information about a location. Maps tell us about geography history and culture in addition to helping us find places. They demonstrate to us how people live in various regions of the world and how those regions are shaped by nature.

A map can be as basic as a hand-drawn sketch or as detailed as employing electronic instruments. In my opinion maps serve as windows into the globe enabling us to learn about and comprehend locations even if we have never been there. They're really amazing!

In your opinion what are the most important elements to understand a map and why?


IMG-20241221-WA0014_1.jpg

I believe that the title scale and legend are the most crucial components for comprehending a map. The map's title identifies its subject be it a city a nation or a particular subject like population or weather. The scale aids in our comprehension of the true size of the region depicted on the map as well as the actual distances between objects. By providing an explanation of the symbols colors or marks utilized the legend facilitates comprehension of the data displayed on the map. Coordinates and toponymy are additional crucial components.

While toponymy displays the names of locations such as rivers cities or streets coordinates such as latitude and longitude assist us in pinpointing specific locations on Earth. Together these components help to make the map understandable.and practical. It would be difficult to decipher what the map is attempting to depict without them. These components are the words that enable us to understand maps which are similar to stories.

In your opinion is cartography important or not so important? Why?

Cartography in my opinion is crucial because it enables us to comprehend and explore the globe. Cartographically produced maps let us locate destinations plan trips and gain knowledge about various areas. Maps are useful whether we are managing resources traveling or studying geography. They display both man-made constructions like cities and roads as well as natural features like mountains and rivers. It would be challenging to arrange and navigate our surroundings without cartography.

Cartography aids in planning and decision-making in addition to providing instructions. Maps are used by governments and organizations for resource management city construction and even during natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. By illustrating how locations have evolved throughout time maps also help to preserve history. I consider cartography to be a useful instrument that aids in decision-making and fosters a sense of connection between individuals and their surroundings. It is a very important aspect of our existence.

Note: The pictures I mantion is my own property.
