The article is devoted to the problem of using remote sensing data for studying and mapping archaeological sites in interdisciplinary research. The purpose of the experiments is to develop a methodology for searching and mapping archeological monuments based on the interpretation of aerospace images. The problem to be solved is formalized search and the procedure of selecting objects. The complex of tasks for ridentifying objects from images cannot be realated only to the field of decryption, it also deals with the field of information processing signals (computer vision), and this is where the great potential for continuing experiments is seen. In the process of implementing the tasks, the Detection Artefacts software package was developed, which is based on noise reduction, filtering, morphological analysis, binarization, etc. Its notable feature is the freedom of choice settings, the ability of setting parameters

This article presents the experience of creating the historical geographic information system "Siberian Cities at the Turn of the 19-20 th Centuries" (Case Study of the City of Tobolsk) focused on presenting online results. The structure of the article corresponds to the main stages of GIS creation. At the first stage, the main attention was paid to the methods of preparation and input of cartographic material, due to the lack of a mathematical framework for historical maps. The affine transformation algorithm has been chosen as the main algorithm for working with the map of the city of Tobolsk, which allows to place the map sheet in a modern coordinate system (WGS84), with a limited number of fiducial points, correctly. The second stage was aimed at determining both the sources of demographic, social, economic, and spatial data, which will become the basis of the basic vector-raster layers. The source was a set of census forms of the First General Population Census of 1897 for 8 cities in the Tobolsk Province. The third stage is devoted to the Web-GIS creation. A pilot version of the project with the reconstruction of the urban space of Tobolsk at the turn of the 19-20 th centuries was created on the platform NextGISWeb. It is concluded that geoinformation technologies application is aimed not only at visualization and presentation of data from different sources, but also at creating a tool for spatial analysis of demographic, social and economic factors, studying the features of the various social groups resettlement and reconstruction of the social space of the city as a whole.

The article presents a unique research on the Teniz-Korgalzhyn trench geosystems. Using the computer-aided decoding of multi-zone satellite imagery, the space-time patterns of the structure, functioning, and dynamics of the development of landscape components of the studied area are determined. Using the functionality of contemporary instrumental GIS and interpretation algorithms, the indicators of productivity of geosystems and anthropogenic transformation are determined. Significant anthropogenic factors that do not have a ubiquitous, but local influence on the dynamics of geosystems in the context of significant changes in the ratio of moisture and productivity are established. Conclusions onthe need to control anthropogenic influence and ensure the rational use of resources of the territory are made, treating them as a factor of sustainable development.

This article presents the results of a comprehensive assessment of the tourist and recreational potential (TRP) of the Kulunda steppe (within the Altai Region). Evaluation methodology was used in the paper, which allowed to take into account both the natural and recreational resources of the territory, as well as the socio-economic and socio-cultural conditions for developing tourism and recreation were analyzed. Evaluation and mapping of the territory’s TRP was carried out using the functionality of the GIS MapInfo and ArcGIS. Based on the selected cores of the TRP concentration, a system of tourist and recreational clusters of various specializations was designed. These clusters should become nodes of the basic recreational framework of the Kulunda steppe.
