Abstract
Tasks in controlling territorial development are complex and complicated, but at the same time they are interrelated and unidirectional (aiming at enhancing the level the territory development). That is why introduction of a unified informational basis is the main precondition for regional development. In the future, use of earth remote sensing data as the basis for a unified geo-informational system, which can be available on the internet and regularly updated through satellite receivers, can drastically facilitate control over territorial development. An overview of prospective use of geo-satellite technologies is given with application to the cadastral accounting. Tasks which can be tackled with the help of satellite images are defined.
