At present the most complicated tasks of modern geographical science are solved by the help of geoinformation system (GIS). The geoecological crisis in Azerbaijan is one of such tasks. On the basis of existing cartographical materials of our republic we have created geoinformation system (information CD -"Nature of Azerbaijan") of ancient and modern natural conditions of Azerbaijan. For this matter the research works of professor M.A.Museibov are also used.


The aim of this research pursues the objekt of exposing the level


of anthropogenic transformations, determining the regions having a


serios geoecological crises. It is necessary to mention that ecological


crises has got a large scale in the republik.


On the base of analysed geoinformation maps of natural landscapes of Azerbaijan we have the next results:


1.For the period of time more than 1.5 million years ago as the 1st


man became the resident of this region.They could be changed on the


structures of natural landscapes. But the geoecological crises at these


regions begins from the second half of xxth c.Some of its components


and in the whole the majority kinds of a landscape entered into the


belts of geoecological crses.


2.The present stoppage of budgets for the support of environmental problems during the transition period into a new social system may promote to more regrettable geoeclogical crises. That is


why realisation of this research may have serios significance in future.


If we consider that this project has a special value on the landscape


level and it was never shown in scientific literature then may agree with


the fact that realisation of this project directed to a deep landscape


analyses of the geoecological crises will prove its necessity for now. It is known that gradual or an uneven changes of landscape structures under the influence of a cosmic and the endogenous factors


will become as the function of their dynamic state.An anthropogenous


interference into this complex and the continuous process depending on the character and the intensity of this influence may bring to a more


qualitative changes as the components of a landscape, or the landscape


complex as a whole. The problem of a natural landscape evolution of Azerbaijan (including the changes of its main components) for late Miocene-pleistocene period have been investigated. More or less representatively may seen the results of these researches which were published. However dealing with antrophogenoust transformations of natural landscapes, with the exception of some of its most dynamical components`(pollution of an atmosphere,water


and the land) of this cannot be mentioned here.Geoecological analyses of natural landscapes up to now hawe not been carried


out yet. Working out of the geoinformation maps of the anthropogenous transformations of natural landscapes may allow us to make out the picture of geoegological situation and suggest some


concrete recommendations on the decreasing of damages of the ecological crises.
