The remote sensing use in the control of forest cuttings

The extreme lack of information on the use of geographic information systems, one of which is the Land Viewer platform for remote control over felling, determines the novelty of the work performed. The object of the study is felling in the Kinel-Cherkassky forestry using the Land Viewer geoinformation system. The purpose of the research is to determine the possibility of using the LandViewer geographic information system to control felling. The paper presents the results of monitoring the implementation of cuttings in the Kinel-Cherkassky forestry, clarified the errors obtained in determining the cutting areas, the speed of obtaining and the relevance of information on the progress of work. The results of the study can be used in the organization of work on the allotment and further control over the maintenance of forest plantations, clear sanitary felling and monitoring the implementation of a large set of fire prevention measures in the forests of the Samara region and other regions of the Russian Federation. The revealed facts should be taken into account in order to improve the work in the field of forest surveillance activities.
