M1MT: Geoinformation system of the conservation area

M1MT: Geoinformation system of the conservation area – is a modern tool for managing the development of a heritage object and decision-making support in the form of a multi-layered electronic map. Geoinformation system is the only entry point to the information about the object of the nature reserve fund; it provides experts with relevant spatial data, contributes to the development of environmentally-oriented tourism, informing citizens and popularization of eco-educational knowledge, as well as conducting scientific research in the institutions of the nature reserve fund. Use the feature of quick access to spatial information by means of cartographic apps – a geoinformation system of the conservation area and a synced mobile app.

Geoinformation system features

• the fullest possible set of functions: map navigation, data editing, map vector layers operating, spatial analysis, address search;

• the user does not need any specialized software and cartographer qualifications for work as all you need is a web browser and internet connection;

• ease of search, quick update and database editing;

• constant readiness for operation;

• protection of information from distortion and unauthorized access;

• multi-user access mode and group database editing.

GIS of conservation area is a system of necessary and reliable information on the natural, scientific, legal and other characteristics of the territories of the nature reserve fund

• get information about the legal status, affiliation, regulation, geographical position, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the conservation area and objects, their environmental, scientific, educational, disciplinary, recreational and other value;

• systematize existing data on the heritage object, combine various data on conservation area within a map and visualize them in a user-friendly form;

• use the advantages of an automated search for information and a detailed view of soil and vegetation data regarding conservation areas with popular cartographic resources (Google Maps, OpenStreetMap);

• visualize the content of the GIS database, create custom queries and thematic maps combinations as requested by the system user;

• analyze already existing and plan potential objects of the nature reserve fund using previously entered GIS information on field measurements, design and working documentation, control and executive photo shooting;

• use the advantages of operational access, administration and updating the map data, orthophoto maps, digital and electronic maps, including in field conditions on a real-time basis by means of mobile app;

• provide informational support for state bodies, interested enterprises, institutions and organizations with relevant information necessary to address the issues of sustainable development of the heritage objects;

• provide public access to information on environmental issues and decision making.

Typical structure of the geoinformation system

• database of cartographic information (display of topographic maps, digital model of terrain, public cadastral map of Ukraine, orthophotomaps, etc.);

• subsystem of the register of endangered and rare species of plants and animals;

• subsystem displaying vegetation and soil cover;

• subsystem of information search by Form 4 of the state cadastre of nature reserve fund;

• subsystem of nature reserve fund object audit, carried out by mobile workers – inspectors (fire audit, technological safety audit, environmental audit).
