Publishing of the Commentaries on the Polish Ethnographic Atlas (Komentarze do Polskiego Atlasu Etnograficznego) has been a long-term project of Polish ethnology since the second half of the 20th century. starting with the sixth volume, they include maps, so the reader has both - the textual and the map part - at his disposal. After 1990, the volumes were devoted to the following topics: husbandry and cattle breeding (1993, 1994), vernacular architecture (1995), diet (1996), transport and communication (1997), funeral customs (1999), folk beliefs and knowledge (2002), neighbourly help (2001), wedding ceremonies (2004, 2007, 2009), ceremonies related to childbirth (2010). The planned volumes will cover e.g. the puerperium, upbringing and life of children, etc.

This study uses participative research in ethnocartography. The aim of the study is to demonstrate possibilities in using maps in ethnology and anthropology and to introduce the potential of the interdisciplinary cooperation of cartographers and geographers with ethnologists and anthropologists. Besides that, the authors try to provide the influence of maps and visual information on the life of a local community and local education by examples. In their study, the authors show the results of field research which they carried out together in the Nungon community in Papua New Guinea. The authors show that sharing results of the research with participants may generate other research questions and bring new research topics in ethnocartography.

In his article, Zygmunt Kłodnicki defines the boundaries of cultural regions and the paths of expansion of chosen products representative of the nautical culture of Austronesia. Kłodnicki examines the conditions for the development of shipping in this area and emphasizes the importance of the geographical environment in this process. Specifically, he draws attention to the importance of rafts in the migration of Austronesians and points out that boats equipped with a stabilizer, known as outrigger canoes, can be considered the differentia specifica of the Austronesian culture from the moment they left Southeast Asia. On the basis of his analysis of the diversity of the structure of the stabilizing device, boat equipment, and sailing terminology, Kłodnicki identifies the paths of cultural expansion in Austronesia. Maps relating to outrigger canoes and the cultural regionalization of the area in question are an integral part of the article.

Artykuł stanowi próbę określenia granic regionów kulturowych i dróg ekspansji niektórych wytworów z zakresu kultury nautycznej w Autronezji. Autor rozpatruje warunki rozwoju żeglugi na tym obszarze i podkreśla istotną rolę w tym procesie środowiska geograficznego.  Zawraca uwagę na znaczenie tratew w migracjach Austronezyjczyków. Wskazuje, że łodzie z urządzeniem statecznicowym można uznać za differentia specifica kultury Austronezyjczyków od momentu opuszczenia przez nich południowo-wschodniej Azji. Na podstawie analizy zróżnicowania budowy urządzenia statecznicowego, wyposażenia łodzi i terminologii żeglarskiej autor określa drogi ekspansji kulturowej w Austronezji. Integralną część artykułu stanowią mapy dotyczące łodzi z urządzeniem statecznicowym i regionalizacji kulturowej omawianego obszaru.

The article is an attempt at collecting and discussing the procedures of the ethnogeographical method which have been used in Polish ethnology from the beginning of the twentieth century until today. The most important discussions of this method in the Polish scientific literature have been compiled, and on their basis a list synthesising its principles and heuristics has been created. The subsequent part of the article discusses how the ethnogeographic method as practised in Poland so far presents itself from the perspective of contemporary cartographic and statistical methods, especially from the viewpoint of research within the framework of cultural evolution and digital humanities.
