Summary/Abstract: The text analyzes the existing ethnological cartography as a knowledge-construction process. The aim of the paper is to use digital technology (GIS) and reflections on the mapmaking process to highlight cartography as a set of practices for knowledge construction. The author will explore mapping practices that have influenced map-making, as well as knowledge construction processes during map-making using digital tools, specifically ArcGIS software. This study is based on ethnological data collected through questionnaires for the Ethnological Atlas of Yugoslavia. The research focuses on how cartography objectifies knowledge, as well as how digital technology, especially GIS, can enhance the processes of analysis, synthesis, and visualization of ethnological data.
