MODELING OF URBAN LANDSCAPE (ON THE IMAGE OF THE CITIES OF THE MIL AND MUGAN PLAIN)

In the research work, the issues of modeling cities located on the Mil and Mugan plains were analyzed. These cities include Sabirabad, Saatly and Imishli. Only 3 % of the Earth is covered by cities. However, more than 50 % of the world's population lives in cities. Rapid population growth in cities makes their planning and modeling important. Therefore, our study is devoted to an actual problem. Goal. The main goal of our study is to study the development of cities and determine the correct management and modeling of them. Method. In the course of the study, for the first time in Azerbaijan, we applied the building density coefficient. To do this, we used Geographic Information Systems. As a result, all cities were modeled. Result. As a result of the research, it was found that these cities, located on the banks of the Araz and Kura rivers, are intensively expanding. Such development may also create a food problem in the near future.
