Kartoitetettavasti

Kartoitetettavasti is a Finnish adverb describing the manner in which something is done or collected so that it can be mapped or surveyed. The term signals that the data or observations are suitable for cartographic or spatial representation, enabling accurate placement on maps or within geographic information systems. It is commonly used in technical or scientific contexts where spatial referencing and cartographic compatibility are important.

The word is built from the root related to kartoitus or kartoitettava, meaning to map or survey, combined with the adverbial suffix -sti and elements that emphasize feasibility for mapping. In practice, kartoitetettavasti denotes a quality or approach that ensures data are usable for cartographic processing, analysis, or visualization.

Usage and examples: In GIS, environmental science, archaeology, or data journalism, researchers might describe data collection as conducted kartoitetettavasti to indicate that coordinates, boundaries, or spatial attributes were captured in a way that supports cartographic rendering. For example, “Tiedot on kerätty kartoitetettavasti siten, että jokainen havainto voidaan sijoittaa kartalle.” This stresses the spatial traceability of the data.

Notes: The term is specialized jargon and is not typically used in everyday Finnish. It appears primarily in technical reports, methodological sections, or academic writing where precise spatial or cartographic criteria are being described. See also kartoitus, kartografia, paikkatieto.
