APPLICATION OF GEOINFORMATION SYSTEMS IN GEOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC ZONING
The article analyzes the key advantages and functions of geoinformation systems (GIS) in the geological and economic zoning. The relevance of the research topic is due of the need to develop effective resource extraction in the conditions of digitalization of all spheres of industry to ensure the growth of the economy of the country and regions. The purpose of the study is to form a complex of elements of a geoinformation system that provides geological and economic zoning. The objectives of the research are to identify the features of GIS for the purpose of geological and economic zoning of regions and to analyze the capabilities of modern software products for the GIS implementation. The tasks of geological and economic zoning aimed at creating a system of effective subsurface use are defined. Features of data placed in GIS are highlighted, taking into account their further use: geospatial coordinate systems, high information saturation, combining geometric and attribute information, and layered data organization. The blocks of information on the results of geological and economic zoning are considered, including the most significant ones -administrative, infrastructure, economic, and resource. As a result, the basic sections of GIS are proposed in accordance with the types of data used in decision-making in subsurface use, and the basic participants and resources that ensure the maximum efficiency of GIS are considered. Application solutions that are potentially used to achieve the most effective zoning using GIS tools are analyzed.
Keywords: GIS, geodata, zoning, data visualization.
Highlights:
♦ it is impossible to increase the effective use of subsurface resources without the distribution of economic resources in accordance with a reasoned geological and economic zoning;
♦ zoning is a complex process involving the creation of a complex of IT tools designed to effectively collect, store and visualize information for making management decisions;
♦ the modern market for GIS solutions includes many software products, but the choice of the optimal one is difficult due to the need to process large amounts of data in different formats.
