The use of different types of geographic information systems for the construction of geoservices to support management of the Arctic territories

The Arctic territories of the Russian Federation are characterized by a wide variety of valuable and strategic mineral resources needed for the sustainable socio-economic development of the state. Therefore, the development of the Arctic territories is one of the priorities for the development of Russia in the coming decades. On the other hand, the ecosystems of the Arctic and regions of the Far North are very fragile and sensitive to various types of anthropogenic impact. The Arctic is home to unique species of animals and plants. In order to ensure their continued safe existence, a number of measures must be taken to protect them. One of the effective measures is the creation of specially protected natural areas. Various geographic information systems are actively used to monitor and manage such areas. This work is aimed at the creation of information technology for the joint use of geographic information systems of different types to solve the problems of monitoring and territorial management support. This paper considers different types of geographic information systems from the point of view of their effectiveness in solving problems of collection, processing, storage, analysis and presentation of spatial data. For practical approbation of the proposed information technology a web-geoservice “Khibiny National Park” was developed. For information support of the web-geoservice the data on industrial activity in the area of the national park, existing and alternative transport infrastructure in this area, as well as data on the ecosystem state and biodiversity of flora and fauna were used.
