  The main objects of the paper are $z$-oriented triangulations of connected
closed $2$-dimensional surfaces. A $z$-orientation of a map is a minimal
collection of zigzags which double covers the set of edges. We have two
possibilities for an edge -- zigzags from the $z$-orientation pass through this
edge in different directions (type I) or in the same direction (type II). Then
there are two types of faces in a triangulation: the first type is when two
edges of the face are of type I and one edge is of type II and the second type
is when all edges of the face are of type II. We investigate $z$-oriented
triangulations with all faces of the first type (in the general case, any
$z$-oriented triangulation can be shredded to a $z$-oriented triangulation of
such type). A zigzag is homogeneous if it contains precisely two edges of type
I after any edge of type II. We give a topological characterization of the
homogeneity of zigzags; in particular, we describe a one-to-one correspondence
between $z$-oriented triangulations with homogeneous zigzags and closed
$2$-cell embeddings of directed Eulerian graphs in surfaces. At the end, we
give an application to one type of the $z$-monodromy.
