The ways of improvement of method of the soil drawing a map are offered due to the use of geoinformation technologies. The results of the remote sensing data and digital elevation model combined using for large-scale soil mapping are presented. The integral decoding of this information is considerably improving quality of the created soil maps.

Spatial databases management system significantly enhances the efficiency and productivity of GIS, work-ing as a database interface and tool for analyzing spatial information. Therefore, they are so important for soil mapping. By the local example (Kharkiv region) developed a technique of creating a spatial database to needs of soil-erosion survey of area. An approach to automate the process of field description of soil profiles are proposition.
