Basics of Atlas Mapping Optimization in the Fergana Valley

Abstract

Thematic maps reflecting the negative or positive impact of natural and anthropogenic environmental factors on human living conditions are of particular importance in modern world ecological and cartographic research. To optimize the ecological situation in the region, including the river regions and oases of Uzbekistan, such ecological mapping involves the creation of atlases of a systematic collection of analytical and synthetic maps. In the world, environmental mapping gives preference to synchronization methods where specific atlas maps are systematically created by interconnecting environmental characteristics, that is, several maps that interactively interact with their didactic texts in GIS software are deployed on a computer screen at the same time. These research programs ArcGIS, QGIS, and SWAT model software focus on database creation, electronic map visualization, modeling, and analytical mapping.
