Development of a GIS Digital Framework for the Central Kazakhstan Region Based on Cartographic Materials and Remote Sensing Data

The article is dedicated to the creation of a digital geoinformation framework for Central Kazakhstan based on the integration of various sources of spatial data. The aim of the study is to develop a structured GIS foundation capable of providing effective support for analysis, monitoring, and spatial modeling in a region with high natural resource potential. The research outlines the stages of collecting and systematizing cartographic materials and remote sensing data, georeferencing and vectorization of features, verification, and spatial data analysis. Methods employed include the collection and structuring of cartographic materials, vectorization of topographic maps, digital elevation model analysis, topology assessment, and more. The outcome of the study is an updated digital GIS framework of the region, which can be utilized for spatial planning, environmental monitoring, infrastructure management, as well as for educational and scientific purposes.
