Abstract
On the basis of the GRID modeling principles, an assessment was made of the ecological potential of geosystems of Baika lian Siberia and special assessment maps were constructed. The contents of such maps are determined by the purposes of obtain ing the necessary information on the characteristics of geosystems which are required for a further development of forecasts to obtain objective results. Among such important characteristics of geosystems are the indicators of their status and disturbance, their ecological potential as well as the degree of their natural anthropogenic stability. Using special assessment maps of the natural conditions and ecological potential, it is possible to gain a general insight into the living conditions of people in them and create the natural-scientific foundation of a sound regional environmental policy.
