Innovative methods of land management tasks based on geoinformation databases

Abstract

This study explores innovative methods for managing land resources through the use of geospatial databases. It highlights the critical role o f Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in analyzing, modeling, and visualizing spatial data, thereby facilitating well-informed decision-making in land use, agriculture, and environmental management. The primary objective o f the research is to design a structured geodatabase encompassing administrative, hydrographic, agricultural, and transportation features. Publicly available datasets from platforms such as QGIS and OpenStreetMap (OSM) were integrated into vector-based models to enable in-depth analysis of land resources. As a result, a geospatial database for the East Kazakhstan region was developed, serving as a comprehensive tool for assessing land resources, promoting sustainable regional development, and optimizing land use practices. The authors underline the significance o f employing advanced geospatial technologies—particularly ArcGIS and QGIS - to enhance data accuracy and reliability, thereby strengthening decision-making processes in land resource management.
