THE USE OF GIS TECHNOLOGY IN THE ANALYSIS OF DEMOGRAPHIC INDICATORS OF RUSSIA

Abstract

Demography as a subject area and the possibility of using GIS tools in it is briefly characterized. The stages
of implementation of GIS technology based on demographic data on the territory of the subjects of the Russian
Federation are defined, the purpose of the built-in tools used is described. The created attributive database is
presented, demographic indicators are determined and calculated, on the basis of which thematic maps are built,
namely: identification of the most attractive areas for living; identification of regions for a comfortable place of
residence; identification of regions of economic development; identification of regions with approximately equal
proportions of men and women; comparison of current indicators with the forecast for the demographic load factor
from 2016. Layer styles and rules for the design of signatures have been developed, map layouts have been created
for each study. Statistical data analysis was carried out on the basis of cartographic mapping. The presentation of
demographic data in geospatial form made it possible to process statistical materials, visually and fully display
information, and track patterns.
