The results of the comparison of archival topographic maps with materials tacheometry are presented. Found that the existing maps are outdated and do not provide objective information about the relief area. The possibilities of the program with respect to WEPP modeling of water erosion are shown.

Key factors of atmospheric air, surface and ground waters’pollution have been determined.Main directions in mapping of ecological conditions and environmental protection have been presented in the paper. Examples and contents of series of ecological maps of environment’s dynamic components of Kharkiv region have been given.

The article highlights the problems of formation of conceptual and terminological apparatus in the field of alternative energy. Attempts to improve and systematize the basic terms and concepts in the industry were made. Inconsistencies and ambiguities in the interpretation of such concepts as «alternative energy resources», «non-conventional energy resources», «renewable energy resources», «energy sources», «energy resources», and «energy potential» were eliminated. Classification of energy resources based on the criteria of depletion, renewability, tradition of usage, and their origin was proposed. The structure of the object of mapping, according to the needs of alternative energy, is considered. The thematic content of cartographic products was determined. Mapping indicators of alternative energy resources; the current state of alternative energy development; environmental, social and economic factors that contribute to the development of the industry or limiting its development were identified.
