Geoecological division into districts of the basin of the Lake Alakol with use of GIS technology

The developed GIS of technology allow making thematic maps with concrete and targeted tasks. It allows to achieve a goal in very short terms. The purpose of the offered work is drawing up the geoecological map with use of the ArcGIS 9.3 program in scale 1: 200 000 It was is created on the basis of a topographic map of the corresponding scale of the Alakol area and the scheme of the created A. S. Aktymbayeva "геоэкологическая районирование бассейн Алакольской озеры" [1].

The received results of this map allow reflecting interactions of alive organisms (including the person) with a surrounding medium, and in a broader sense – interaction of social and economic and natural geosystems [2].

Besides, exercise of geoecological division into districts is urged to consecrate in space aspect sharpness of an ecological situation in the concrete region or geosystem. This concept covers such changes of the environment surrounding the person which cause deterioration of standard conditions of activity and human health, exhaustion or loss of natural resources, decrease or loss the forming a resource of properties geosystems. In this plan is the reason of geoecological strength both anthropogenesis, and the natural processes provoked by environmental disasters and internal structure of geosystems [3].

When developing geoecological division into districts of object of research we used the criteria of sharpness of ecological destabilization of a surrounding medium of the basin of the Lake Alakol which are based on the accounting of levels of ecological strength, offered by A.V. Chigarkin (table)

The listed levels of ecological destabilization are reflected in a schematic map of geoecological division into districts of the basin of the Lake Alakol. 6 areas and 17 subdistricts are reflected in it, each of which is characterized by specific geoecological properties [1].

Let's consider geoecological areas and subdistricts of the basin of the Lake Alakol:

1.     Alakolsky lake livestock and recreational area. In the territory of the area the Alakol national park on preservation of a relict seagull and habitats of waterfowl is located. For the area the favorable level ecological destabilizations is characteristic.

2.     Erosive-denudatsionny mountainous area.

2 A subdistrict ridge Western Tarbagatay, level of ecological strength - satisfactory.

2 В subdistrict Zhetysu Alatau, stock-raising and recreational, the level of ecological strength – intense.

3.     Area hilly slackness loessial foothills of ridges Tarbagatay and Barlyk.

3 А hilly slackness the loessial foothills Tarbagataya, level of ecological strength – satisfactory.

3 В hilly slackness the loessial foothills of Barlyk, level of ecological strength – satisfactory.

4.       The area alluvial prolyuvial foothill sloping plains, the level of ecological strength – intense.

4 А foothill plain of Zhetysus AlaTau.

4 В foothill plain of ridges Barlyk and Maily.

4 С  foothill plain Tarbagatay.

5.  Area of alluvial and lake and alluvial flat plains.

5А the alluvial plain, level of ecological strength - intense.

5В the lake and alluvial plain, level of ecological strength - satisfactory.

6.     The area of the melkosopochny mountain and nizkogorye, level of ecological strength – satisfactory.


6 A Arganaty-Arkarla's subdistrict.

6 B Saykana's subdistrict.

6 C Arakarla's subdistrict.

6 D subdistrict of Baltabay.

6 E Bakhta's subdistrict.

6 F subdistrict Seyrektas.

6     J subdistrict Kyzyl-Beldeu.


7.     Sand - the level of ecological strength intense.

Thus, in the territory of the basin of the Lake Alakol the geoecological areas established on sharpness of the modern ecological situation separately are allocated the enclaves united by a community of various factors of a tectonic are considered. The particular system of actions for restitution and stabilization of an ecological condition of the broken geosystems is developed for each of the allocated categories of ecologically destabilized regions, as is a main goal of geoecological division into districts.
