8th International Scientific Conference - SGEM2008, www.sgem.org, SGEM2008 Conference Proceedings/ ISBN: 954-918181-2, June 16-20, 2008, Vol. 2, 585-590 pp

ABSTRACT

GIS of mining corporation like an efective implement for modelling effects of mining
aktivity. Geodetic observations constitute the basic sources of data for GIS. Using data
transferred into this environment, it is possible to create digital models of undermined
areas.The use of geographic information system enables various analyses of further
movements of points inside the observed area.

On the base of product ArcGIS will be activated system for monitoring effects from
mining activity in the location Solivar near Prešov. This GIS system will be tested for
using in mining corporation. This system will contain informations from monitoring
geodetic station and indications from measures in mining area of deposit Solivar near
Prešov, basic mining and geological maps and informations about deposit Solivar and
mining. Actual situations about declention basin will be evaluate by monitoring system
with periodic measures depends on planning progress of mining salt rock and prediction
of next development.

Keywords: GIS, modelling, undermined area, observation station, extraction space.
