functional relations of ecological situations. 
The issue of detection of ecological situations 
gains special actuality for all areas of the Earth. 
It is closely connected with clarifying of the most 
suitable conditions of its practical utilization and 
exploitation. That problem is very lightly 
investigated. However the informative backgrounds for 
the ecological problems is now of the greatest necessity 
and the tasks of economic development put this to the 
first place. 
1. THE METHODS GF INVESTIGATIONS 
The application of space photodata as a source of the 
detection of ecological situations is considered on 
the wide background of geographic interconnect ions 
studied on the basis of landscape-indicative method. 
The main parameters and features of ecological 
processes and geographical objects are identified by 
remote sensing data with rather high resolution (less 
than 5—10 meters on the ground).
