CONCEPTION OF GEO-INFORMATION SYSTEM "INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL AND MAN-MADE RESOURCES OF THE URALS"
The efficiency of application of geographic information systems in the mining and environmental fields in Russia and abroad is analysed. Geo-information systems are the most effective tool for quick evaluation and decision-making in the field of environmental management at both the local and the regional and global levels. The lack of common GIS for areas mining in the Urals mining enterprises, mineral deposits of mineral and man-made resourses can not effectively monitor the development georesources. GIS “Integrated development of natural and man-made resources of the Urals” is developed as a basis for optimizing the use of mineral resources of the Ural region, identifying and ranking the factors and processes that determine the priorities for the development of natural and man-made mineral deposits.
