Geoinformation portal “Sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation” as a promising tool for comprehensive assessment of the environmental factors and the health of the Russian Arctic population
The Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF), being a territory of prospective development and reclamation,
requires increased attention to the problems of maintaining the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the
population considering specific climatic and socioeconomic factors. These circumstances force the development
and implementation of non-standard managerial decisions in the selection of technological development of
territories, the characteristics of the work and life of people in these conditions.
To solve problems in the area of environmental protection and sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the
population, various electronic informational and analytical public resources based on geographic information
system (GIS) technologies have been developed and are actively used. The advantage of GIS technologies is the
convenience of collecting, analyzing and visualizing information directly related to the territory, which is especially
important when working with large arrays of information linked to large territories.
That said, when it comes to the AZRF, such resources are either absent or do not address the sanitary and
epidemiological well-being of the population.
The authors have developed the concept of a geoportal of the sanitary and epidemiological status of the
AZRF based on GIS which could be an extensive electronic database of environmental factors and the population
health status and also serve as an effective tool for assessing the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the
population with a spatial analysis function.
A test version to be posted on the Internet has been developed and work on populating it with the up-to-date
information on environmental and public health factors is in progress.
