Present State of Land Use and Anthropization in the Poliskyi Region
Abstract
New model tools for geoinformation analysis of the anthropization of landscapes and physico-geographic taxa are proposed, including a unified categorical-classified scheme and a scale for quantifying such anthropization, as well as digital choropleths and quasi-spectra of the areas of land-use and/or land-cover systems. Using these tools and relevant spatial databases, a cause-and-effect analysis of the current state of land use and anthropization in the Poliskyi region was conducted. The best and worst physico-geographic areas and districts of the region have been identified. The conditionality of regional land-use effects is analyzed by estimating the relationship between areas and geoecologically favorable and unfavorable land-use systems. The results can be applied to regional environmental management schemes and projects to optimize them and implement effective ecological measures while accounting for the war’s environmental impacts.
