In recent years, the development of new technologies has opened up wide opportunities for the joint use of UAVs and geodetic measurements in the preparation of high-precision digital maps in the field of geodesy and mapping. This approach differs from traditional methods. Surveys conducted over large areas allow for the joint integration of UAVs and geodetic measurements to obtain faster and more accurate results. The creation of digital maps over large areas is especially important, and for this purpose it is required to obtain higher quality data. There are many methods and areas of application for the creation of high-precision digital maps based on geodetic measurements. It is possible to systematically compile this data. Aerial photographs taken by UAVs flying from high altitudes are considered more effective in mapping areas. The obtained photographs are first georeferenced, in the next procedure the data is combined, a 3D model and digital orthophoto plans are prepared. The data received through UAVs allows us to analyze the terrain, the condition of infrastructure facilities, and other information.

The article presents the results of paleomagnetic studies of Pliocene-Pleistocene deposits of the Ajinokhur structural zone. To obtain the paleomagnetic characteristics of these deposits, comprehensive experimental investigations were conducted, which made it possible to construct a magnetostratigraphic scale of the Pliocene–Pleistocene strata of the studied sections. To study the paleomagnetic properties of Pliocene-Pleistocene rocks, about 300 oriented samples were studied. he magnetic susceptibility and the natural remnant magnetization of the deposits vary between 3.1 x 10-3 - 7.6 x 10-3 BS and 5.9 x 10-3 - 36.1 x 10-3 A/m, respectively. The average value of the permanent component indicates that the magnetization is close to its initial value and can therefore be used to compile a paleomagnetic scale. Within the investigated area, the identification of regional magnetostratigraphic reference points in the Upper Pliocene–Pleistocene deposits has been substantiated, including the boundaries between the Productive thickness and the Akchagyl, the Akchagyl and the Absheron, and the Absheron and the Baku. The studied deposits have been subjected to age subdivision.

Mud volcanism is commonly observed in Azerbaijan and the surrounding South Caspian Basin. This natural phenomenon is very similar to magmatic volcanoes but differs in one considerable aspect: Magmatic volcanoes are generally the result of ascending molten rock within the Earth’s crust, whereas mud volcanoes are characterized by expelling mixtures of water, mud, and gas. The majority of mud volcanoes have been observed on ocean floors or in deep sedimentary basins, such as those found in Azerbaijan. Furthermore, their occurrences in Azerbaijan are generally closely associated with hydrocarbon reservoirs and are therefore of immense economic and geological interest. The broadside long-offset transient electromagnetic method and the central-loop transient electromagnetic method were applied to study the inner structure of such mud volcanoes and to determine the depth of a resistive geological formation that is predicted to contain the majority of the hydrocarbon reservoirs in the survey area. One-dimensional joint inversion of central-loop and long-offset transient electromagnetic data was performed using the inversion schemes of Occam and Marquardt. By using the joint inversion models, a subsurface resistivity structure ranging from the surface to a depth of approximately 7 km was determined. Along a profile running perpendicular to the assumed strike direction, lateral resistivity variations could only be determined in the shallow depth range using the transient electromagnetic data. An attempt to resolve further two-dimensional/three-dimensional resistivity structures, representing possible mud migration paths at large depths using the long-offset transient electromagnetic data, failed. Moreover, the joint inversion models led to ambiguous results regarding the depth and resistivity of the hydrocarbon target formation due to poor resolution at great depths (> 5 km). Thus, 1D/2D modelling studies were subsequently performed to investigate the influence of the resistive terminating half-space on the measured long-offset transient electromagnetic data.

THE ECONOMIC-GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS INFLUENCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ABSHERON-KHIZI AND BAKU ECONOMIC REGION
(Global Cooperation and Analytical Research Center Public Union, 2026-04-17)

The equitable distribution of economic and social development across regions constitutes one of the central strategic objectives. The expansion of the consumer base, the presence of a developed infrastructure network, and the advanced transportation systems serve as key drivers for population concentration in this area. However, the intensive nature of this development has resulted in the centralization of both population and economic activities within the capital, which not only gives rise to various challenges in the socio-cultural and ecological spheres but also impedes the development of other regions of the country, thereby exacerbating disparities in population settlement patterns. Furthermore, this situation complicates the efficient utilization of natural resources in these regions and hinders their sustainable development. The close interrelation between economic activities and social life has led to the concentration of a substantial portion of the population in this region, causing rapid urban sprawl both within the city and its surrounding settlements, and ultimately resulting in the emergence of an expansive urbanization zone. Effective management and regulation of these dynamics have become increasingly complex, evolving into a critical issue. Addressing these challenges requires the coordinated implementation of administrative, economic, and socio-cultural measures.

CULTURAL TOURISIM IN NAKHCHIVAN: HERITAGE, SUSTAINABLILITY AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
(Global Cooperation and Analytical Research Center Public Union, 2026-04-17)
Gunay F. Musayeva
Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic - one of the oldest cultural regions of Azerbaijan, possesses a rich historical and cultural heritage that offers significant potential for cultural tourism development. This study examines the role of cultural heritage in promoting tourism in Nakhchivan, focusing on historical monuments, museums, intangible cultural heritage and sustainability-oriented tourism policies. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology based on document analysis and secondary sources, the research evaluates current tourism practices and their socio-economic implications. The findings indicate that cultural tourism in Nakhchivan contributes not only to regional economic growth but also to heritage preservation and cultural identity. The study concludes that strategic planning, international promotion and community involvement are essential for ensuring sustainable cultural tourism development in the region.
