Abstract

The article shows various ways of mapping the regional residential real estate market, which can be used in the future to visualize the National Project “Housing and Urban Environment”, implemented until 2024. The author demonstrates different types of cartodiagrams. It is shown that the equipment of residential real estate is more convenient to display a petal cartodiagram. Attention is paid to the use of cartodiagram with stroke, the semicircular and mesh cartodiagram.

The author gives a significant place in the publication to the method of mapping housing affordability for citizens, as one of the important tasks of the National Project “Housing and Urban Environment” is to create conditions for increasing the level of affordability of residential real estate acquisition. There are 4 availability indicators that can be displayed on the map using special cartograms and the cartogram method. The most successful option, according to the author, is a combination of two techniques for the image of a cartogram on one map.

Attention and rather rare means of socio-economic mapping, in particular the pseudoisolines (of isopleth). The author notes that this method is one of the most obvious in mapping the residential real estate market, especially the price situation. The article, by building isoprices, it was clearly shown how to identify the main geographical factors in the pricing of the housing market. Attention is paid to the geoinformation component of the isopleth construction. The algorithm of working with them using the Spatial Analyst module of the ArcView GIS program is shown.

According to the author, cartographic research should be completed with the construction of synthetic maps. One example of synthesis in mapping the housing market is a map of its geographical segmentation. Such maps can be supplemented with matrix legends. The author emphasizes the importance of moving away from primitive maps with one or two cartographic methods to complex maps.
