Features of GIS application in agriculture and logistics

Abstract

GIS - geographic information systems is a product of modern technology, designed for visualization and analysis of everything around us, also for the storage and analysis of data. The agricultural sector, where the key link is land, has a connection with geographic visualization, namely, there is a need to compile maps to promote transport and analyze them. Before the introduction of GIS, tables, plans and schemes provided on paper were used. In this case, it was hard to reconcile all the data with each other, and in case of a change in an indicator, it was necessary to redo everything all over again. In maps created with the help of GIS along the land itself, there are such layers as rivers, roads, settlements and much more. It all depends on the quantity and characteristics of the data provided. Using just an ordinary electronic map of the area, with the help of data, you can create a blank map, topographic or thematic map. GIS is becoming an increasingly integral part of our lives and agriculture. For an ordinary farmer, for example, there are many advantages of GIS. One of these advantages is that, when buying or renting a land plot, he can look at the electronic map in the cadastral offices, which will take into account the location of the plot, the location of passing channels, soil structure and so on. The second advantage is that the map will show all the advantages and disadvantages of the site, such as soil quality, climatic conditions, this will lead to the correct selection and distribution of crop rotation, which will help reduce the cost of fertilizers, machinery and labor. All these aspects are described in more detail in the article.

Standards and technologies of Web development when designing the GUI of web-based geographic information systems of the agro-industrial complex

“…In world practice, in particular in the Russian Federation, GIS is used to create and update maps, as well as for spatial data analysis, which makes it possible to obtain information about the distribution of various objects and their characteristics in a certain territory; for land management, providing accurate and up-to-date data on the boundaries of land plots, their status, property rights and possible restrictions; for infrastructure planning and management, which helps determine optimal routes, installation locations and possible problems in the infrastructure; to monitor and analyze the state of the environment and the use of natural resources, allowing you to track changes in the state of soil, water, air, vegetation and wildlife, as well as identify sources of pollution and possible consequences for the environment; to assess production risks, analyze the relationships between various factors affecting crop yields. The capabilities and flexibility of these systems ensure their applicability at various levels of farming [7][8][9][10].…”
