The landscape-ecological information system for Kvasnyi Potik catchment in the Ukrainian Marmarosh was created on the principle of multiplicity of landscape-areal structures. Some issues of methodology collection and visualisation data of GIS are considered. Using the vector layers of the "Biogenic / Anthropogenic Units" and the point coverage of "Field observation sites" the vegetation for this area was classified. As a result we distinguish four landcover classes: 1) coniferous forest, 2) deciduous f orest, 3) sub-Alpine shrubs, and 4) meadows Site of field observation (Text and photography) is described as an example. Distribution of coniferous forest was analysed depending on the elevation intervals (m above sea level), aspect and parent rock.
