Feltérképezik

Feltérképezik is a Hungarian verb in the third-person singular present tense meaning to map out, to chart, or to survey. It denotes the act of gathering information about the features of a space, object, or system and producing a spatial or structured representation of those features.

The word is formed from the noun térkép (map) with the prefix fel-, which implies thoroughness or completion. The related verb is feltérképezni (to map out). The process can yield outputs such as maps, diagrams, databases, or models, and it often serves as a basis for planning, analysis, or decision-making.

Feltérképezik is used across disciplines such as geography, urban planning, archaeology, ecology, meteorology, and information technology (including geographic information systems and remote sensing). It can be used literally, for example to describe cartographic work on a territory, or figuratively, to describe systematically outlining or assessing a field, market, or set of problems.

Common methods associated with feltérképezés include field surveys, topographic measurements, aerial or satellite imagery, LiDAR, drone photogrammetry, and subsequent data processing to produce accurate spatial representations. The term emphasizes both data collection and the creation of a usable, organized representation of the studied area or domain.
