Re: [Cz-L] Work currently being done in the cemetery.

In answer to Hardy and Berti:

To calculate the size of the cemetery I used Google maps, satellite map.
You can access it individually through:
<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Chernivtsi+Ukraine&mrt=all&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=39.456673,56.601563&ie=UTF8&ll=48.294786,25.95726&spn=0.004054,0.006909&t=k&z=17>

[Moderator's note: If the long link above doesn't work, try <http://is.gd/xTKa>]

I zoomed in and out to get a scale of 50m = 1.65cm.
The average width of the cemetery is 10.2cm = 309 meter
The average length is 13cm = 394 meter
It follows that the size of the cemetery is about 121 746 square meter.
Round it up to 125 000 square meter = 12.5 hectare.
The paths are partially just as overgrown as the burial areas or plots,
Therefore I will only deduct 4% from the total area, to get an estimate
of the area which needs to be cleared: 125 000 x 96% = 120 000 square meter.
