GEOINFORMATION METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES IN THE STUDY OF NATURAL-SOCIAL-PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

The article discusses aspects of the application of geographic information principles, methods and technologies in the construction of project-oriented spatial data infrastructures (SDI). It gives a detailed description of the key challenges in creating effective SDIs, issues of analyzing and forecasting the state of natural-socialproduction systems, identifies key problems and directions for the development of SDIs. It was emphasized that the problem-oriented SDI is a complex of specially organized spatial databases in computer systems equipped with a special control system and a set of application programs for solving target problems.
