The geo-information system of environmental security of the "Gorgany" nature reserve in the Ukrainian Carpathians

Abstract

Among the protected territories of the Ukrainian Carpathians, the nature reserve "Gorgany" in the Ivano-Frankivsk region is an example of a rich diversity of natural conditions and natural resources. The reserve has an area of 5,344 hectares and was organized in 1996 in Prydovbushansky Gorgany. There are 3 legacy zones and 10 components of environmental audit: lithosphere (geological environment), geophysisphere (physical fields), geomorphosphere (relief), hydrosphere, atmosphere, pedosphere, phytosphere, zoosphere, sociosphere and technosphere. The latter "presses" on the previous 9, creating the ecological situation of the territory. The basis of research is natural-anthropogenic geosystem. Research materials are obtained according to the algorithm, starting with field research with sampling, their analysis for toxic elements and substances, building databases of environmental information, and ending with the compilation of elemental and component-by-element ecological-technogeochemical computer maps and a general ecological map safety. It is proposed to organize a geo-informational model for the protection of the safety of the nature reserve "Gorgany".
