Abstract

The basic principles of the geoenvironmental mapping of a region are discussed. These include: (i) the informational software must comply with the intended purpose of geoenvironmental maps for territory-management and planning organizations; (ii) the mapping represents a sequential process—the result of each previous step is the input for the next step, and the result of the work is a set of maps. The database structure is proposed for the input and output mapping and statistical data. The geoenvironmental mapping is based on GIS software packages, which are used for assessing geosystems conditions and regional environmental planning.
