Compilation and Registration of Grozny Urban Development Map According to Remote Sensing Data

Abstract

The majority of Russia's population lives in cities. The main disadvantages of the current development of cities include their uncontrolled growth, irrational use of land, and conflict between lands of different categories. Careless use of land resources can lead to major environmental problems in the future. In this regard, the development of cities and other populated areas requires constant monitoring. One of the ways to control urban development is periodic mapping of the territory. For better use of land plots and capital construction projects, the article raises issues of functional zoning of the city territory, creating a map accessible not only to specialists in urban planning, but also to a wide range of people. As a result of remote sensing data analysis, Grozny urban development maps with legends were developed, which can be included in the atlas and master plans of the city’s General plan. An analysis of changes in residential development in the period from 1986 to 2019 was carried out. The maps can be included in the General plan of the city of Grozny for the purpose of creating materials to justify the placement of social, communal and other infrastructure facilities, as well as for regulating development, which in the future will lead to the creation of a more comfortable urban environment. The authors discuss the relevance of using remote sensing data for the compilation and design of maps for General plans and Master plans of settlements.
