THE SIGNIFICANCE OF GEOINFORMATION SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CREATION OF NATURAL AND ECONOMIC THEME MAPS OF LANDSCAPES OF THE FERGANA VALLEY

Abstract

This article discusses the significance of Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies in creating thematic maps. GIS allows for the collection, storage, analysis, and updating of data using modern computer and information technologies. This technology addresses the challenges associated with traditional paper maps, reduces costs, and ensures timely updates. The study thoroughly examines the applications of GIS in various fields, including natural and socio-economic geography. Additionally, the article demonstrates the capabilities of GIS for quickly and accurately creating cartographic projections, as well as making modifications to them.
