Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Today, the Ministry for the Development of Information Technologies and Communications has been assigned specific tasks to introduce digital and geographic information systems in order to increase the efficiency of land relations, management of agricultural and water resources. In order to develop geoinformation technologies in the country, the experience of foreign companies with advanced experience in this area was studied.

Currently, proposals are being studied for a project to create a "virtual" receiving station (geographic information center) for receiving and processing space images received by foreign companies from remote sensing satellites in the country.

The project also includes the transfer of geographic information technology and the training of local specialists at the international level.

As a result, the effectiveness of geodetic, cartographic and cadastral directions will be ensured, the prevention of illegal buildings will be due to the reception and processing of satellite images.

A system will be created to address some issues in the field of agriculture and water management, prevention of natural and man-made emergencies, ecology, archeology, urban planning and road construction, border control, security and defense.

To date, 8 e-government services have been introduced through the Single portal of interactive public services in order to streamline relations in the real estate sector, and about 50 thousand applications have been received.

In order to create additional opportunities for the population in this area and, most importantly, to limit the "human factor" in this area, by the end of this year, 5 public services will be improved.

For a quick and accurate assessment of the state of agricultural land and crops in the Andijan region, a pilot project on the use of space data is being implemented. As part of the pilot project, the districts of Andijan region are included in the online platform "Monterra" in vector format.

The purpose of this project is to use artificial intelligence technology for the needs and conditions of the Andijan region and an objective assessment of agricultural land in the region (by taking pictures using an artificial satellite).

In the course of the project, 6 areas were selected, which were digitized in vector format and implemented on the Monterra online platform. Now, the owners of agricultural land will receive recommendations based on the results of research using satellite technology.

The online platform "Monterra", in order to create maps of varying complexity, creates photographic maps of land using satellite technology and then stores them in the system for analyzing land yield.

The main advantages of this project:

• analysis in the agricultural sector based on archival photographs;

• comparison of the received images data;

• creation of topographic and cadastral maps;

• analysis of the relief of agricultural areas;

• possibility of online monitoring of the growing season (growth period) of cotton and grain crops.

• collection of information on the types and condition of crops.

During the implementation of this project, a new resident will be created in the Technopark, and 7 qualified programmers will be trained in the field of agriculture.

This platform is currently integrated with the "Information about the land" system of the State Geodezcadastre.

This project will be launched in September this year. through the formation of analytical data on sown areas in Andijan region, it will be possible to provide land owners with this relevant information.

On 21 July, the President held a meeting on the full formation of land registration and state cadastres, the introduction of digital technologies in the industry. At this meeting, a number of tasks were assigned to our ministry.

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted that the main task of the cadastre bodies should be keeping records and balance of lands. The task was set to launch by the end of the year an information system containing data on the type, contours, boundaries and users of land plots. Now the land allocation decision is valid only if it is included in this system.

It was also instructed to rent satellite channels and establish a signal processing system. This will contribute to the analysis of yield, land reclamation by comparing satellite images taken in different years.

By the end of the year, the Ministry for the Development of Information Technologies and Communications will work closely with other relevant organizations and institutions to ensure the timely implementation of the procedure for allocating agricultural land based on electronic selection and auction, optimization of land categories with the involvement of international experts.

Practical processes ranging from land area measurement to analysis can be performed by satellites or drones. Therefore, specific tasks were identified for work in this direction by the end of the year, including digitalization of cartography, land accounting, and analysis in agriculture. Indeed, today it is very difficult to increase the competitiveness of the industry without the digitalization of agriculture, and to develop a policy in this regard.

The effective fulfillment of these tasks will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the socio-economic development of the republic, will serve the development of new directions of modern progress.
