Abstract
Work at Moscow University on the development of a geographical data base for the thematic processing of remote sensing information is described. Much of the data base's primary information comes from a special national economic regionalization scheme for the USSR, carried out previously by the authors and based on image pattern discerned from low-resolution scanner imagery and on auxiliary materials. This regionalization scheme can provide a spatial framework for the monitoring of natural and human landscapes from space. Objectives for the organization of such monitoring for agricultural landscapes are outlined. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA 22308 from: L. N.
