Geoinformation support for organization of territorial communities’ spatial planning in post-war Ukraine

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to substantiate the conceptual foundations of organization territorial communities’ spatial planning in post-war Ukraine by GIS and providing an example of practical implementation these position for the territory of Lysyanska community the Cherkasy Region.

The main material. The theoretical and methodological foundations of geoinformation support for organization territorial communities’ spatial planning in post-war Ukraine are considered, including consideration of essence and features the organization this type of work, analysis the experience of using GIS to solve spatial planning problems at the regional level, substantiation of structural components the system of geographic information support for organization territorial communities’ spatial planning, and the examples of practical implementation the theoretical developments for Lysyanska territorial community the Cherkasy Region. In general, geoinformation support for organization territorial communities’ spatial planning in Ukraine should be directed to the cartographic component of the relevant strategic and planning documents, primarily to the making of a comprehensive plan for spatial development of the territory as a mandatory component of land management documentation, where planning decisions for prospective using the community territory are cartographically visualized. Geoinformation support for organization territorial communities’ spatial planning in post-war Ukraine should cover the main components of spatial planning and land use management in the context of individual communities. Accordingly, in the structure of geographic information support system for spatial planning of an individual community, the following blocks are distinguished: general geographic, inventory and cadastral, land use monitoring/landscape change monitoring unit and territorial development planning block. The practical implementation of geographic information support for organization territorial communities’ spatial planning can be the creation of: 1) A comprehensive GIS product for community territory management; 2) A specialized GIS product aimed at solving certain spatial planning tasks, such as the making of a comprehensive, strategic plan for the development of the community territory; 3) Geoportal of the territorial community on the Internet; 4) Separate GIS projects containing a certain set of vector geodata and/or maps of structural components (blocks) of geographic information support system for territorial community, for example, a map of monitoring land use with a correlated geodata database The proposed theoretical propositions were tested on the territory of Lysyanska territorial community the Cherkasy Region by creating two separate GIS projects – GIS project of the general geographic block of geoinformation support for organization territorial communities’ spatial planning and GIS project of Lysyanska communities land fund for inventory and cadastral block.

Conclusions and further research. Spatial planning of territorial communities in Ukraine, being an integral part of the formation of strategy for development these territorial units, the organization of rational use the available resources and formation of sustainable land use, acquires special importance during the post-war time due to the provision of greater financial revenues to local authorities under the conditions of decentralization. The practical implementation of the above requires prompt processing and analysis of numerous materials, including textual, graphic, cartographic both at the stage of collecting initial data on the territory of the community, and at the stage of analysis, modeling and management decision-making, which can be implemented through geographic information support. The system of geographic information support of spatial planning for individual community includes the following blocks: general geographic, inventory and cadastral, land use monitoring/landscape change monitoring unit and territorial development planning block, which generally provides systematization of available resources in the geodatabase form with the possibility of cartographic visualization in the form of strategic and planning documents. A promising area of research is the development of conceptual foundations for creating a mobile application on iOS and Android for visualization of the community’s territory geodatabase in formats for official and public use, including the geoportal form for public monitoring of the implementation of planning decisions and the state of land use.
