The rational use and protection of soils in market conditions requires adequate application of new
scientific and methodological approaches. One of such systematic-analytical methods of soil cadastre organizations
is a combination of traditional terrestrial methods with technologies of geoinformation systems (GIS) based on
extensive use of satellite images in different resolutions. The aggregate of information necessary for mapping soil
cover patterns and their quantification has been described in GIS databases. Data integration has been realized
through the spatial and attributive component in the form of: the results of topographic and thematic maps. At the
same time, the creation of attributive GIS databases involves the digitization of thematic maps tied into a single
cartographic projection (as a topographic map with a scale of 1: 50 000). As a result of the study, thematic maps and
attributive databases of GIS of soils were formed. As a result of research, based on GIS technology, a digital soil
map of the Akshat rural county of the Chingirlau district of the West Kazakhstan region has been developed using
the ArcGIS software product.
