Аpplicаtiоn оf geоinfоrmаtiоn technоlоgies tо creаte hypsоmetric mаp оf the Lisinsky reseаrch аnd trаining grоund

The article develops a methodology for the compilation and analysis of hypsometric maps based on the use of geoinformation technologies. It is established that the heights above sea level in the studied area are from 34 to 102 m, there is a gradual general decrease in altitude in the direction from the northwest to the southeast, as well as the flow of most of the rivers flowing here. The statistical analysis of the obtained results, the distribution of areas in the study area height above sea level, it is shown that the areas with altitudes of 60-75 m above sea level is more than 52% of all the studied area. The proposed method of drawing up and analyzing hypsometric maps using digital terrain modeling and GIS technologies can serve as a tool for modern landscape analysis. The method allows you to create a dynamic and visual system for presenting spatial data about landscapes. A number of operations (building horizontals, determining areas, performing statistical calculations, presenting maps) are performed much more efficiently than with traditional «manual» processing. Hypsometric maps provided by GIS, allow you to perform various types of analysis in the study area in conjunction with other spatial data (remote sensing, forest maps, GIS data inventory). Such an analysis can be used to assess the landscape characteristics of the studied territory, identify and clarify natural boundaries, and plan economic activities based on the landscape approach. For example, the reclassification of the hypsometric map layer with different steps (5, 10, 20 m, etc.) allows you to specify the boundaries of landscape facies and tracts. A set of spatial data, including hypsometric maps, can be used to create and present landscape-morphological maps. Landscapemorphological maps are a long-term scientific basis for conducting multidirectional farming and nature management in the studied territory. They can serve as a basis for monitoring the state and use of forests and forest land. On the basis of landscapemorphological maps, it is possible to conduct a continuous assessment and inventory of natural resources: land, air, water, plant and animal populations.
