CREATION OF THE GIS SYSTEM OF ECOLOGICAL MONITORING IN THE ZABAIKALSKY NATIONAL PARK
The application of GIS technology for environmental monitoring is a relevant question for protected areas in the Lake Baikal region. The study aims at the creation of a GIS project for an integrated environmental monitoring program in the Zabaikalsky National Park. The GIS project includes basic, remote sensing and thematic spatial data that enable to develop observation-based special thematic maps and a database. As a result, the paper proposes a method based on different scale levels for digital maps and positional attribute data, with the detailed study of various mapping aspects of the objects of monitoring.
