Compilation of environmental protection maps by region, economic area and scale

Abstract

Environmental protection maps are divided into groups according to their purpose: maps
describing protected natural areas and maps of environmental protection measures, and
according to their content, by region, economic area and scale. When compiling regional EPM
maps, the area is divided mainly by the principle of landscape zoning, and in special cases by
the principle of administrative territory or basin (hydrographic network). Such maps contain
various types of protection measures, the interrelationships of processes, and the regularity
of change in space and time. The content elements in the specialized series of EPM of economic
area include measures such as reclamation, restoration, cleaning of the area, reorientation of
the enterprise to other economic spheres, regulation of the economic purpose of the
territories. Large-scale EPMs describe regions with a complex landscape structure and a wide
variety of nature protection objects. In the dissertation, the framework requirements for the
content and legend load of all three groups of EPM maps were developed, the design
methodology was improved, and the author's map copies were compiled.
