Abstract

The provisions of geoinformation support for classification of forests by functional purpose are proposed. The current state of the forests of Shepetivka rayon of Khmelnytskyi oblast is studied and their classification is carried out on the basis of using high spatial resolution satellite images “PlanetScope” by Planet Labs PBC. Indicators of forest cover and the ratio of forest classes in the context of territorial hromadas of Shepetivka rayon are calculated.
