The collected volume of scientific papers “Modern Achievements of Geodetic Science and Industry” is one of the leading professional publications in the field of geodesy, cartography, and land management in Ukraine. Its history is closely connected with the development of geodetic education and science, particularly with the activities of Western Geodetic Society.
History of Establishment and Formation
The collection was founded in the late 1990s during a period of active transformation of the scientific sphere in Ukraine after gaining independence. The main purpose of the publication was to provide a platform for presenting research results in geodesy, photogrammetry, cartography, geoinformatics, and related disciplines.
The initiator of the publication was the Western Geodetic Society, which has long-standing traditions in training specialists and conducting scientific research.
Development and Thematic Scope
From its first issues, the collection covered a wide range of topics:
- theoretical and engineering geodesy
- satellite technologies (GNSS)
- photogrammetry and remote sensing
- geographic information systems (GIS)
- cadastre and land management
- monitoring of engineering structures
Over time, the thematic scope expanded in line with global trends, incorporating publications on laser scanning, unmanned aerial systems, digital cartography, and integration of geospatial data.
Scientific Significance
The collection quickly gained recognition within the Ukrainian scientific community. It has become:
- a platform for exchanging research results between scientists and practitioners
- a means of implementing modern technologies in geodetic practice
- a source for the approbation of dissertation research results
The publication is included in the official list of recognized scientific journals of Ukraine, which has enhanced its importance for researchers.
International Integration
In the 2000s and 2010s, the collection began active integration into the international scientific space:
- some articles are published in English
- foreign scholars are involved in the editorial board
- the number of international authors has increased
This contributed to higher citation rates and broader international recognition.
Current Stage
Today, the collection “Modern Achievements of Geodetic Science and Industry” continues to be regularly published and plays an important role in the development of the field. It:
- reflects current trends in geodesy
- supports the connection between science and industry
- contributes to the training of young researchers
By combining tradition with modern approaches, the publication remains one of the key scientific resources in the field of geodesy in Ukraine.
