Results and Conclusions

Research Statistics:

13 Graphs for linear and areal deformations in the different projections

6 maps showing the deformations for the territory of Bulgaria

Over 20 tables for deformation calculation

Lambert conical conformal projection with two standard parallels is the most suitable for the territory of Bulgaria.

Projection parameters were found in which deformations are evenly distributed throughout the country and equally large in the most deformed territories.
