In the article the anthropogenic transformation of landscapes of the Ajinohur mountain area is studied. The ways and development trends of optimization of contemporary landscapes are determined by GIS. Anthropogenic modifications (planting areas, pastures, settlements, etc.) are assessed by the types of natural landscape. The role of relief and land use in the anthropogenic transformation is analyzed. Processes occurring in natural components as a result of anthropogenic impact are studied in detail.
