Structure and Functioning of Information Systems of Background Monitoring of Landscape Elements of Gorgany Nature Reserve

Abstract

This paper discusses the structural organization of the background monitoring system (BMS) of the transboundary UNESCO World Heritage Site “Beech forests of the Carpathians and ancient beech forests of Germany” using actual data and information from Gorgany Nature Reserve in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. The features of the structure and functions of background monitoring of the protected natural resources, forests and wildlife of Gorgany Nature Reserve is based on modern methods of collecting and processing of digital data, implementation of the principles of Internet of Things and cloud technologies, combined with GPS-systems, sensor networks with the use of optical and fiber-optic telecommunication channels. The information technology of the background monitoring system is based on figurative cluster models of monitoring objects according to theoretical principles of statistical, correlatory, spectral, cluster, logic-statistical and entropy analysis.
