Abstract
The author provides an introduction to a number of basic geographic software packages and discuses their potential applicability in the Russian context, especially with respect to geographic information systems. Particular attention is devoted to problems of merging vector and raster data and the development, by the Siberian Section of the Russian Academy of Sciences, of videoimage identification software designed to expedite geographers' capabilities when working in digital image processing and GIS (VORS software). Use of the VORS software is illustrated via applications in image processing and mapping of areas impacted by oil and gas drilling, forested tracts in the Buryat Republic, and land use in a river basin. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, VA 22308 from: Geografiya i prirodnyye resursy, 1996, No. 4, pp. 158-170.
