Abstract:
This paper proposes the method of GIS-mapping of landforms and relief types based on recognition by DEMderived morphometric characteristics. The objects for mapping are defined during preliminary study. It involves geological maps, literature and field research data. An approach implemented with four alternative technological sequences: the mapping of landforms; the mapping of relief types based on landforms areas ratio in a moving window; the mapping of relief types based on supervised classification with using training area; zoning by thematic criteria (allocation of areas with certain geomorphological conditions). It can be applied alternately or simultaneously depending on study area characteristics. The proposed method have some advantages: using objective criteria for selecting of landforms and relief types allows to increase the objectivity of cartographic works generally; using GIS-technology reduces complexity of cartographic work; using of statistics to identify similarities and differences of various forms and types of relief. However, the method requires certain skills of a researcher in geoinformatics for selection and optimization of recognition algorithms.
