सार

This article analyzes the land cover and land use types of the Sangzor River Basin based on a basin-wide approach. The study uses the QGIS program to identify land cover types in the basin area based on ESA WorldCover 2021 remote sensing data and calculate their area indicators. According to the results, pastures and agricultural lands predominate in the basin area, while forests and water bodies occupy a relatively small share. The location of settlements and sparsely vegetated areas is also analyzed. The results obtained show that the main direction of land use in the Sangzor River Basin is agriculture. The results of the study are important for the rational use of natural resources of the region and the development of environmental protection measures.
