GEODETIC PLANNING IN THE AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE: CREATION OF DIGITAL MAPS AND MODELS FOR LAND USE OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

The article is devoted to the topical issue of geodetic planning in agro-landscape and its importance for efficient land use. The authors review modern methods and technologies for creating digital maps and models of agricultural landscapes based on the use of geographic information systems and aerial photography from unmanned aerial vehicles. Modern new approaches to geodetic planning within agrolandscapes are investigated. The requirements of the agricultural sector for digital mapping and modeling for the optimal use of land resources are determined. The tools for the formation of digital maps of agro-territories of united territorial communities are substantiated. Proposals for the use of geodetic methods for effective agro-landscape planning are formulated. The main attention is paid to the practical significance of the data obtained for optimizing land use, planning agricultural operations and rational use of land resources. The studied approaches and developments can be useful for farmers, landowners, ecologists and specialists in the field of geodesy. In the course of the study, a methodology and procedure for mapping agricultural landscapes using GIS and aerial survey materials using UAVs were developed. This methodology made it possible to obtain high-quality images of agricultural landscapes and develop a cartographic model in GIS based on them. The approach was successfully tested on the example of the selected model area near the ATC. The created digital map and database are promising for further research of agricultural landscapes. The research clearly shows that the data obtained as a result of UAV surveys is a high-quality source of reliable information. Aerial photography allows you to quickly create an accurate digital terrain model, which can serve as the basis for geographic information systems in the development of a number of thematic maps and terrain models important for the agricultural sector. The geographic information system makes it possible to visualize the main elements of agricultural landscapes as separate layers (e.g., relief, soil-forming rocks) with appropriate detailing of their characteristics in attribute tables. By combining different data sources, GIS allows you to create detailed maps of the agro-ecological conditions of a particular area. GIS can also be used to store information on field work, yields and other indicators, which ensures the rational management of agricultural processes on land plots.
