The paper presents the review of mapping techniques applied in research using mental maps. The review covers both evaluative and structural mapping.

For large scale maps created in GIS software, it is possible to use quantitative methods, i.e. proportional symbol maps or quantitative signature symbols. Using multiple complementary mapping techniques allows to draw the most comprehensive conclusions in the analyses of perception of a given space in the society.
