Abstract

This article emphasizes the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a robust and modern tool for environmental monitoring and analysis. Through GIS-based methodologies, key ecological parameters-such as landscape transformations, land cover dynamics, vegetation health, and biodiversity-can be accurately mapped and evaluated. The complex topography and unique historical-geographical features of the Shusha region necessitate a spatially integrated approach to ecological assessment. Furthermore, the research aligns with Azerbaijan’s national priorities, which place ecological restoration, sustainable development, and the transition to a green economy at the core of post-conflict regional policy. The findings of this study aim to contribute both scientifically and practically to the development of informed strategies for ecological security and sustainable management of the liberated territories. The ecological assessment of the liberated Shusha area is of strategic importance for the post-conflict reconstruction and sustainable development of the region. Due to decades of neglect and war-related damage, reliable ecological data is essential for sustainable decision-making and natural resource management. This study aims to assess the current ecological status of Shusha district using Geographic Information System technologies. Its aim is to identify ecological threats and visualize ecological indicators to support restoration and policy planning. Various methods such as data collection, research, analysis, spatial analysis, cartographic modeling were applied in this study. In addition, the normalized vegetation index was used in the compositional analysis of the vegetation cover of the area, and the complex water balance method was used in the analysis of the dynamics of water resources.
