Nowadays we can clearly see the activeness of the methodological and technological aspects of the new geoinformation direction in the field of cartography. The development of modern mapping methods is closely related to the development of geoinformation systems and technologies. The importance of geoinformation cartography and geoinformation systems is significant in creating databases and digital maps based on GIS software instead of analog methods for creating maps. There are the most important tasks such as improvement of modern method in obtaining cartographic information, and development of ways to quickly transmit and distribute cartographic information about nature and society. The application of GIS technologies in the field of demographic cartography will lead to drastic changes in the scope of work, as well as improve product design and increase the accuracy as a result of the performed tasks. The study shows that there is a need to develop a new method for mapping a new generation based on GIS technology, reflecting demographic processes. This article will focus on creating a database for development of maps based on GIS technologies, rapid identification, monitoring spatial changes using data from aerospace and other sources, and development of demographic digital mapping methods based on GIS technologies. Mapping demographic processes based on GIS technologies aims at implementing a number of practical tasks and research related to population. Based on this, a systematic method has been developed to analyse the demographic situation in the southern region of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and a digital demographic map has been created by applying the developed method.

The current land-use policy in Uzbekistan has not provided clear solutions for different land users related to the cadastral valuation of land resources. Despite several land reforms that have been implemented until now, still, numerous issues can be easily identified in this field. For these reasons, this paper investigates the problems of cadastral valuation of land resources, including non-agricultural land, which are the national wealth of the country. It outlines the goals and objectives and the methods and techniques used to address them. A number of natural, social, economic, environmental, and political factors affecting the consumption characteristics of non-agricultural land, including settlements, have been identified. Using analytical analysis, calculations, and monographic methods, to date, the methods and approaches to land valuation developed in the country as a result of research in this area have been analyzed. Their shortcomings have been identified. They identify a number of specific features that have been overlooked in today’s market economy. Specific scientific recommendations for determining the relative value of land plots based on the type and nature of real estate located in settlements are given. On this basis, the procedure for calculating the market value of land in residential areas is provided.
