Abstract

The article is devoted to the consideration of the possibilities of using GIS technologies in solving the problem of optimizing the greening system of urban environment objects. The study was carried out on the example of the territory of the educational institution—NpLC “Manash Kozybayev North Kazakhstan University” (M. Kozybayev NKU). The possibility of using GIS technologies, ERS materials when performing inventory and studying the state of green spaces, creating a database, identifying problems of the existing landscaping system and developing measures to optimize it is shown. The research included the following stages: development of a preliminary model and database structure for green spaces, field work, aerial photography from UAVs, processing of collected materials in special software applications, creation of a database and a map of the campus landscaping system. The processing of aerial photography materials was carried out in the Agisoft PhotoScan Professional Edition program, geoinformation mapping was carried out using the ArcGIS 10.4 package (ESRI Inc.). An electronic geodata database and an interactive map of the university’s green infrastructure have been created. The database contains quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the objects of the campus landscaping system. Areas of promising landscaping have been identified; measures have been proposed to improve the landscaping system of the university campus. The developed geodata database and interactive map of green spaces can be useful to the university and find application in solving problems of improving landscaping and creating a comfortable environment on campus. The collected data can find its application in the creation of an information system for landscaping objects of the city of Petropavlovsk and may be included in it as an integral part for maintaining the urban cadastre of green spaces and monitoring the state of vegetation. The research was carried out within the framework of grant funding under the Sustainability Living Lab program.
