Abstract: Geographic information monitoring is shown as the leading method of process control in old industrial territories. The main stages of geoinformation monitoring are outlined. The role of geographic information systems in the study of pollution components, systematization and accumulation of spatially distributed data, analysis and development of predictive solutions is considered. The solution of the problem of the conceptual organization of the geoinformation system of mining territories has been substantiated. The structure of software products and geographic information systems selection criteria are considered. The QGIS software product was chosen as the desktop geographic information systems. The functionality of JavaScript-libraries Leaflet and Highcharts, the possibility of their use as a web-based geographic information systems are described. The structure of the base layers of the geographic information systems, created for the organization of geoinformation monitoring of the old industrial territory of the Levikhinsky mine, is described. An algorithm for organizing spatially distributed data of the monitoring object, a fundamental algorithm for data processing are proposed. Considerable attention is paid to the typification and subsequent differentiation of the types of initial information, the storage of geographic information systems data in exchange formats. The author's algorithm of interaction between desktop and web-based geographic information systems is described. The provisions and technical solutions set out in the article allow using geographic information systems for operational monitoring, forecasting and comprehensive assessment, and management decisions.
