Problems of the creation of an automated cartographic system for
environmental condition estimation and forecasting in mining region are
discussed in this paper. The Geographic Information System (GIS)
ARC/INFO is offered as the platform for such a system. A breadboard model of the system was tested on the example of
Kemerovo province (Kuznetsk coal basin), the most ecologically
impacted mining region of Russia. As a result parameters of territorial distribution of integrated adverse
environmental impact of the industrial enterprises are reviewed.
Administrative regions of Kemerovo province were rated according to a
degree of environmental pollution. Further, specific weight of various
industries in pollution of region is determined.
