Volkov A. Geographical Informational Models and Decision Support Systems for assessment and control of technogenic load on the environment

The thesis formulates theoretical and methodological principles of constructive geography and achieves practical results which provide an option to uncover a significant scientific and applied problem – assessment and control the level of technogenic load on the environment by utilizing modern geoinformational models and decision support systems. There has been formulated the terminological foundation for the scientific research. The mathematical algorithm has been developed which combines multidimensional statistic analysis (cluster and factor analysis), linear programming and objective functions. The technogenic load was introduced as appropriate vector value. The factor analysis was utilized for the reason of compressing multidimensional initial data and cluster analysis was used for operating with technogenic load vector values. The linear programming tools and objective functions have been implemented to reveal ways of optimization for spatial distribution of technogenic load within area in question.
