Abstract

Rational environmental management is one of the priority areas of development science, technology and engineering of the Russian Federation. An important place in its promotion is given to information support. It is most adequately presented in scientific reference complex atlases. The purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate complex scientific reference atlases as information sources for studying environmental management at the national and regional levels. The use of natural resources is considered as an object and subject of mapping, its emergence and evolution as the spheres of practical activity of society deepen and expand, and its display in atlases. The object for analysis and evaluation was the fundamental complex scientific reference atlases of Russia and its regions—general and sectoral, created over the half-century history of the development of thematic mapping from the second half of the 20th century to the present. Particular attention is paid to two modern atlases of the most important regions of Russia, embodying the latest achievements of comprehensive mapping: the National Atlas of the Arctic (2017) and the Atlas of the Baikal Region (2021). At the federal level, the National Atlas of Russia, (2004–2008) has been examined in detail. An assessment of complex scientific reference atlases as sources of systematic study of environmental management is given, and their advantages and disadvantages are noted. The main disadvantage of atlases is the lack of a complete, holistic display of environmental management, concentrated on the study and identification of its problems. Based on the analysis, generalizations were made that correspond to the purpose of the article, and an attempt was made to outline priority tasks in promoting environmental management mapping. The prospects for atlas scientific reference mapping are noted, taking into account modern information and technological achievements.
