Abstract
The mapping of agricultural land worldwide is exceptionally important since these maps provide a robust foundation in regards to the open spatial database of agriculture. Mapping processes usually and initially take part in interactive creation maps of agricultural sectors. As a result, this enables agricultural experts and specialists to undertake interactive management and monitoring of all agricultural sectors. This study was carried out in the Bukhara region of Uzbekistan. The potential and most appropriate technology of creating an interactive map of agricultural sectors of the study area was developed using ArcGIS, MapInfo, and Global Mapper software, appertain to the family of up-to-the-date GIS technologies. This software was used in the creation of agricultural spatial data and thematic layers. The created thematic layer and database were integrated into the Java applet, thus a user working window was developed and an interactive agricultural map of Bukhara province of Uzbekistan was created. The interactive map can visualize and illustrate all branches of agricultural sections as separate thematic layers and statistic diagrams.
