ABSTRACT: A new concept of digital vector-layer structuring of landscape space at the
local level (on a scale of 1:25,000) is considered on the example of Russian
island and adjacent island systems of the Vladivostok urban district. Synthesis,
analysis and evaluation of the internal and external content of landscape
systems are carried out and altitude complexes of tracts are identified, in each
of which altitudes are distinguished. It is noted that one of the main criteria
for identifying high-altitude complexes and levels is the high-altitude criterion
and the quantitative and qualitative changes in their internal content,
taking into account the state of erosion-denudation lowland and mountain
landscape systems formed under the influence of the Earth’s real material-energy flows and first of all gravitational energy. According to these criteria,
landscape areas are classified and vertex, saddle, upper slope, middle
slope and other altitude complexes of tracts are distinguished in each of
which altitude levels are distinguished. Structuring and classification proposed
to the reader are presented for further study of structures as objects of
industry-specific indication and possibilities of using high-landscape complexes
as development areas. Noted, as well as the fact that the study was
conducted for the first time and is aimed at the practical implementation of
the landscape approach in the development of landscape systems, defines the
relevance of the work performed.
