Notes de l'éditeur
And if you were university student for example or a scholar you needed to fill in special application form in order to ask for a map of a certain place. You would only get that area, not areas surrounding. Plus you had to state the interest you had. In certain cases you needed a letter from your supervisor, professor, in order to apply for the map.Currently there is nothing clear said about the publicity / or secrecy of maps in Georgian legislation, which is very well used by state agencies in cases when they either do not want to map someone some area or don’t want to give database to person requesting it.
