GIS-analysis of town-building development of the city-resort Kislovodsk

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study devoted to the geoinformation analysis of the urban development of the urban district of the resort city of Kislovodsk, including the identification of existing problems such as alternation and confusion of residential and recreational development, the absence of a single hail-ecological framework, territorial fragmentation and planning gaps between western and eastern parts of the city, the lack of a system of modern public recreational spaces, a high anthropogenic pressure on the formed s landscapes formed from the high-rise area, and others. Issues allowed to form a number of proposals for further urban development of the city-resort. The paper describes in detail the features of the use of various research methods, in particular the cartographic method, the method of remote sensing of the earth, the method of demographic forecasting, analytical, statistical and other methods. Of particular importance for the study are geoinformation technologies, the use of which allowed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of urban development of the resort city of Kislovodsk.
