Preservation of biological diversity of ecological systems, unique natural complexes, objects of natural reserve fund, cultural and natural heritage of the Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the important tasks of the state at the present stage. The most pressing issue facing humanity today is the creation of conditions for environmentally safe (sustainable) economic development in order to achieve and maintain the necessary level of quality of life for current and future generations. The purpose of the study is to examine the soil cover of urban ecosystems of Astana with the view to evaluate the current state of environmental components and solve long-term problems of the capital's development. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is made up of general scientific methods: descriptive, comparative, statistical, system analysis, and cartographic. The research methodology is based on a system of general principles and approaches. The research methodology is based on a system of general principles and approaches, including complex, integral, systemic, ecological and geographical approaches. The conducted scientific research is devoted to the problems of environmental protection of Kazakhstan on the example of the ongoing project, which presents the results of the study of the soil cover of urban ecosystems of Astana. As a result of the work, thematic maps and attribute databases of GIS: soils were formed. As a result of research based on GIS technology, digital maps of urban ecosystems of Astana were developed using the ArcGIS software product.
