Russian-Kazakh transboundary water bodies: typology, dynamics, economic significance

The issues related to transboundary reservoirs in the state border zone of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan are analysed and their typology is articulated. Issues concerning the legal definition of the concept of "transboundary water body" in the legislation of the two countries are outlined. As a result of comparative decoding of differenttime images of remote satellite sensing of the earth, border sections where the course of rivers change were identified.Aim. To analyse and classify transboundary water bodies on sections of the state border of Russia and the Republic of Kazakhstan and identify problematic situations.Material and Methods. The study of these transboundary water bodies was carried out on the basis of both the analysis of interstate agreements on the delineation of the border of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan, the use of cartographic methods and the analysis of retrospective satellite images.Results. Inconsistencies in the level of legal definition of the concept of "transboundary water body" in the legislation of the two countries are shown. Transboundary water bodies on the state border of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan have been identified and classified. Based on a retrospective analysis of satellite images, problematic situations arising from changes in the location of water bodies as a result of channel deformations of transboundary rivers and fluctuation of lakes have been identified.Conclusions. According to the results of this work, all waterbodies located in the state border zone along its entire length have been identified. A typology of these has been carried out and the length of boundary watercourse sections has been established. Using the example of the transborder Ural River, the situation of the section of the river along which the state border lies is shown with an analysis of the changes in the channel and their dynamics.

The use of cartographic methods in assessing the risks of the impact of thermal power plants on the environment

The article analyzes the nature and intensity of the impact of the Novosibirsk CHPP-3 on the environment. To assess environmental risks, two types of threats were identified and corresponding risk groups were identified: violation of the temperature regime of networks; violation of the hydraulic regime of networks; reduction in the quality of make-up water; breakthrough of heating networks; suction of polluted water from the near-tube space; nitrogen oxide pollution; sulfur dioxide pollution; soot pollution; ash pollution. By constructing risk maps for each risk with the subsequent addition of the obtained maps, the area of the least well-being is picked out. In it, the probability of threats being realized, and, accordingly, the risks, are the greatest. Based on the obtained maps, recommendations have been developed that may be important in the planning process of prospective development of territories affected by CHP-3. The recommendations take into account modern environmental safety strategies, in particular, environmental management methods.

КАРТОГРАФИЧЕСКОЕ ИЗОБРАЖЕНИЕ ЦИФРОВОГО НЕРАВЕНСТВА В МИРОВОМ МАССИВЕ ЖУРНАЛЬНЫХ СТАТЕЙ

In world science, there is no generalization of geographical studies of digital inequality and visualization of inequality using socio-economic maps. Therefore, the purpose of our study is such a generalization to identify the features of the use of cartographic methods in the image of digital inequality. The object of the study is a worldwide array of journal articles devoted to digital inequality. In eight bibliographic databases, using the author's semantic search algorithm, about ninety journal articles containing more than two hundred and sixty schematic maps of digital inequality have been identified. The change in the annual number of articles with a cartographic image of digital inequality published in geographical and other scientific journals around the world in the XXI century is shown. The analysis of the identified cartographies on three levels (“access”, “use”, “results”) and two combinations of levels of digital inequality, as well as synthetic indices and clusters of inequality, has been carried out. It has been found that most of the cartograms displayed digital inequality in Europe, consisted of administrative-territorial and postal divisions of the state, and the main image methods were a cartogram and a qualitative background. The examples of cartographic representation of digital inequality are given. The possibilities and limitations of cartographic methods are shown. The disadvantage of the analyzed cartographic schemes is the weak application or refusal to use other methods of cartographic imaging in cases where cartograms, qualitative backgrounds and areas are not enough to visualize the features of digital inequality. The key problems of cartographic visualization of digital inequality are identified – the “digital gap” between neighboring territories, the functional structure of inequality, the dynamics of indicators, the territorial structure of inequality, the lack of connection between levels of inequality, the display of positive and negative offline results on one cartographic chart. The necessity of cartographic representation of the future digital inequality in the transition to 5G and 6G communication networks is noted. To solve all the problems, it is proposed to use a wider set of methods of cartographic image. The results obtained can be taken into account when drawing up new schematic maps. Seven directions of further research are proposed

ГЕОЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ ФАКТОРЫ РАЗВИТИЯ ЭКОТУРИЗМА И РЕКРЕАЦИОННОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫХ ПАРКОВ ТУРЦИИ

Geoecology refers to the interdisciplinary areas of tourism that cover the largest audience. Each subject has its own geoecological features, which make it possible to form various types of tourism. As a bridge between Europe and Asia, Turkey contains many geoecological factors that contribute to the development of tourism and has much to offer visitors. The country is rich in mountain ranges and valleys, lakes, rivers, waterfalls and caves, ideal for winter and summer tourism. In addition, Turkey has many hot springs, healing waters and mud baths, which are recommended as a remedy for many diseases. Due to this, Turkey is considered one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The study of geoecological factors of the development of recreation in the territory of the national parks of Turkey makes it possible to reveal the tourist and recreational potential of the studied territory. In this regard, the purpose of the work is to analyze the geoecological features of the national parks of Turkey. The paper uses comparative and descriptive methods of analyzing the scientific literature on the problems of research, as well as the method of determining the main geoecological factors of tourism development within the study areas. In the course of the expedition trips, the material was collected to analyze the current recreational and tourist development of the territory. The use of cartographic methods of analysis, as well as the analysis of expedition materials, allowed us to describe in sufficient detail the main geoecological features of the territory, which allow us to develop various types of recreation and tourism. On the territory of the Turkish national parks, quite diverse and unique geoecological conditions have developed, which allow for the development of a wide range of types of tourism and recreation. Taking into account the already developed tourist infrastructure, more attention should be paid to the protection of the natural environment and the development of eco-friendly forms of tourism.

A Systematic Review into Factors Influencing Sketch Map Quality

Spatial perception is formed throughout our entire lives. Its quality depends on our individual differences and the characteristics of the environment. A sketch map is one way of visualising an individual’s spatial perception. It can be evaluated like a real map, in terms of its positional accuracy, content frequency and choice of cartographic methods. Moreover, the factors influencing the sketch map and/or its individual parameters can be identified. These factors should be of interest to geographers, cartographers and/or (geography) educators. The aim of this paper is to identify and describe the factors that clearly affect sketch map quality, by conducting a systematic review of 90 empirical studies published since 1960. Results show that most empirical studies focus on individual differences more than on environmental characteristics or information sources, even though the importance of these overlooked factors, especially source map characteristics and geographical education, has been proven in most analysed studies. Therefore, further research is needed in the field of sketch map quality parameters, especially in the use of cartographic methods. This paper could serve as a framework for such research.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CARTOGRAPHIC METHOD AS A TOOL IN ILLUSTRATION OF RESEARCH DATA: A CASE STUDY OF DELTA UNIVERSITY, ABRAKA-NIGERIA

This research work examined the effectiveness of cartographic method as a tool in the illustration of research data, by examining the role cartographic method has over descriptive method, it effectiveness, and process involved; in Delta State University Abraka. In line with these a structured questionnaires were administered to 200 student from various levels of study; that is from 100 to M.sc level and some question­naire were also administered to some lecturers of the department in other to obtain information on the effectiveness of cartographic method usage. The data generated where analysed using the spearman’s rank correlation and the student’s’ test. For the spearman rank analysis, the test revealed that the calculated t value (8.53) is greater than the tabulated t value (2.35) at 5% level of significance, the student‘t’ test analysis showed that the calculated t value (0.00) is less than the tabulated value (2.78) at 5% level of significance. The result of the research at the end of the day reveals that, there is a strong relationship within all the level of study based on the cartographic technique employed in research data illustration. On the other hand, with the use of statistical diagram and map, it shown that with the information extracted there is no strong relationship between the two methods. Based on the findings, recommendations were made on the use of cartographic method toward adequate coverage of the entire study topic.

The Use of Cartographic Methods in the Analyses of the Rural Real Estate Market

The paper presents cartographic methods of analysis of the rural real estate market on the example of the commune Wąwolnica (Lublin Voivodship, Poland ) located on the border of Kazimierz Landscape Park. The primary source of data is the register of notarial deeds of estate sales and purchases (in Polish: Rejestr Cen i Wartości Nieruchomości ). The analyses result in presenting the phenomena and statistical indexes characteristics of local market. Besides basic values like mean price per cadastral unit or number of properties per property type, more complex computations in a form of interpolated statistical surfaces are included. The application of a cartographic method of research provides correlations of presented data and other features of the environment. The author stresses the meaning of proper cartographic methodology which is vital in the case of using Geographic Information System (GIS ) software.
