Geospatial Development of Territorial Communities: Theoretical Provisions

Determining the geospatial development of territorial communities is a relevant issue. For the formation of geospatial development of territorial communities, directions of creation and use of geodatabases and opportunities and application of modern geographic information systems are of particular importance. The research reached the aim regarding the substantiation of theoretical approaches to determining the geospatial development of territorial communities. In this context, the study achieved the following objectives: generalising theoretical provisions regarding the definition of the geospatial development of territorial communities and highlighting theoretical approaches to the definition of the geospatial development of territorial communities. Distinguished theoretical approaches to the definition of geospatial development of territorial communities include: functional approach: characterised by directions of application of geoinformation systems and realisation of the formation and completion of stages of implementation of geospatial development of territorial communities; spatial approach: the main focus is on the spatial aspects of the development of territorial communities; urban planning approach: determining the influence of urban planning factors on the functioning of territorial communities to ensure geospatial development; regulatory approach: formation and application of regulatory support for geospatial development of territorial communities; security approach: singling out security factors affecting the geospatial development of territorial communities; systemic approach: defining geospatial development as a systemic category consisting of a set of factors, the formation and interaction of which is carried out based on methods and models, which allows for the formation of geospatial provision with the use of modern geoinformation tools to build a higher quality environment compared to the past state. It makes it possible to increase the effectiveness of the functioning of territorial communities and create a geospatial basis for making informed decisions regarding the use of the land and property complex as the main factor that ensures their development.
