Improving the Environmental Security of Urban Areas on the Basis of GIS and Web Technology

Abstract

AbstractIn this chapter, the concept of a scheme for informing the population about the state of pollution of the surface layer of atmospheric air is proposed to improve the environmental safety of an urbanized area in real time. The main goal of creating a scheme for informing the population about the state of pollution of the surface layer of atmospheric air is to organize the collection, processing, storage and issuance of information, which will provide information support for decision-making aimed at ensuring the ecological and hygienic well-being of an urbanized territory. GIS maps will form the basis for analyzing the possible impact on the population of various factors of environmental pollution. In order for the results of mathematical modeling of environmental monitoring data to contribute to decision-making in the current situation, the results of monitoring measurements should be easily transferred to the GIS and, conversely, the data from the GIS should be recognized and used to inform the population in real time. With a successful and correct combination of mathematical models, GIS and web technologies, it is possible to achieve the maximum effect from the results of monitoring the state of the surface layer of atmospheric air in an urbanized area.KeywordsPopulation awarenessGIS mapsWeb technologiesMathematical modelingUrbanized area
