A comprehensive approach to integrating water protection zones into urban cadastral geoinformation systems

Relevance of the Research Topic. Modern urbanization processes and increasing anthropogenic pressure on water bodies necessitate the implementation of effective tools for managing water protection zones. The integration of geoinformation technologies into urban cadastral systems creates new opportunities for ensuring sustainable development of urban territories and protection of water resources. Problem Statement. Existing approaches to representing water protection zones in cadastral systems are characterized by data fragmentation and insufficient compliance with national standards requirements. The lack of a comprehensive approach to ensuring geospatial data quality complicates the process of integrating water protection zones into urban cadastres. Research Aim is to develop a comprehensive approach to integrating water protection zones into urban cadastral geoinformation systems, based on the systematisation of existing methods and analysis of practical experience of the Zhytomyr City Territorial Community. Main Material. A systematization and comparative analysis of six main approaches for integrating water protection zones into geoinformation systems has been conducted. A program for phased implementation of a water protection zone management system has been developed, taking into account national standards requirements for geospatial data quality. Practical aspects of implementing the proposed solutions have been analyzed using the example of the Zhytomyr City Territorial Community. Conclusions. The developed comprehensive approach provides a systematic solution to the problem of integrating water protection zones into urban cadastres. The proposed program for phased implementation of the geoinformation system creates a foundation for effective management of water protection territories and enhancement of urban environmental sustainability. The research results have practical significance for modernizing cadastral systems and improving urban planning processes.
