Exploring Geoinformation Technology Potential for Automating the Development and Maintenance of Digital Topographic Maps

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Purpose: The study aimed to determine the possibilities of geoinformation technologies in automating the creation and updating of digital topographic maps. Design/Methodology/Approach: Induction and deduction were used to determine the structure of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The deductive component begins with established theories and principles of digital cartography and automation. This comprises an analysis of existing cartographic principles and standards, a review of current automation technologies in GIS, and an examination of topographic map specifications and requirements. At the same time, the inductive component builds a new understanding of observed patterns and practical implementations. Research Limitation: The study's limitations relate to the restriction of access to national geoportals related to the state of war in the country. Findings: Based on the analysis of the structure of geoinformation systems, the possibilities of automated digitisation of topographic maps were identified, namely, obtaining a high-resolution image, creating a single digital cartographic database in which it is possible to quickly adjust objects and changes in the relief, ensuring high-quality, accurate planning on based on spatial analysis with error minimisation. Practical Implication: GIS capabilities allow for the rapid acquisition of high-quality data regarding surface objects. The proposed structure of geographic information systems can be practical as an action algorithm for cartographer specialists. Social Implication: It will improve the population's access to high-quality topographic and geodetic maps for planning, construction, and economic management. Originality/Value: The research has demonstrated the possibilities of automated creation and updating digital maps.
