PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE OF APPLYING 3D LASER SCANNING FOR GEOECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT (BY THE EXAMPLE OF MOSCOW)

The scientific article considers the practical experience of using 3D laser scanning technology for geoecological analysis of the urban environment using the city of Moscow as an example. The main stages of the study are described, including the collection of spatial data, the creation of three-dimensional models and their use to identify environmental features of the urban area. The results obtained demonstrated the high accuracy and versatility of the method for analyzing the relief, vegetation and anthropogenic impact. The study identified key environmental problems of the urban environment, such as the lack of green spaces in central areas, erosion of the banks of reservoirs, drainage problems and significant anthropogenic impact in industrial zones. The presented 3D models and thematic maps have proven their effectiveness in visualizing and interpreting data, as well as in developing solutions for optimizing urban infrastructure and environmental rehabilitation of territories. The results of the study emphasize the prospects of using 3D laser scanning for long-term monitoring of the state of the urban environment, developing sustainable urban planning solutions and increasing the environmental sustainability of large cities.
