Modern armed conflicts, particularly the full-scale war in Ukraine, have led to profound transformations of the natural environment, infrastructure, and land-use patterns, requiring precise monitoring and spatial analysis. The application of geodetic methods and Earth remote sensing technologies enables the detection of both direct consequences of hostilities (destruction, flooding, fires) and indirect changes related to ecosystem degradation, disruption of hydrographic networks, and erosion. Tools based on GNSS, photogrammetry, laser scanning, and satellite data enable the creation of digital elevation models and geospatial databases that are essential for damage assessment, reconstruction planning, and modeling of future landscape changes. These approaches are especially relevant in the southern regions, where the environmental consequences are among the most severe. The purpose of this article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological foundations and the practical application of geodetic methods and remote sensing for identifying, monitoring, and spatiotemporal analysis of the impacts of military actions on land-use structures. The article examines the features of applying geodetic methods and remote sensing technologies to detect the consequences of military actions on land use, with a focus on the context of the full-scale war in Ukraine. Modern armed conflicts cause significant environmental and spatial transformations that require systematic monitoring and spatial analysis. A geographic analysis of territories affected by hostilities has been conducted. The article presents examples of using satellite navigation systems, photogrammetry, laser scanning, and satellite imagery to document landscape changes, surface deformations, and the loss of infrastructure and ecosystems. Attention is given to the southern regions of Ukraine, which have experienced significant consequences of the war. It is determined that the synergy between geodesy and remote sensing is a fundamental prerequisite for sustainable development, recovery, and safe transformation of territories in the post-crisis period. The study substantiates the need to establish an integrated national spatial monitoring system as a key tool for effective land resource management, recovery planning, and sustainable territorial development in the post-conflict period, with emphasis on institutional strengthening, geodata openness, technological modernization, and international cooperation. The comprehensive use of geodetic methods and remote sensing technologies is critical for effective spatial monitoring, especially in post-conflict reconstruction and sustainable land management. The synergy of high-precision geodesy and remote sensing enables not only the prompt detection of changes in the Earth’s surface and infrastructure conditions but also the formation of a holistic, multidimensional picture of spatial transformations at various levels of detail.
Keywords: spatial monitoring, remote sensing, high-precision geodetic methods, post-conflict management, land use.
