The paper examines the application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in land management and cadastral activities, which can accelerate and simplify geodetic and cadastral work. The use of drones for geodetic surveying of land plots is particularly effective during the preliminary stages of work. The introduction of UAVs allows for the improvement of traditional methods and approaches in land management and resource management. Additionally, the use of these vehicles helps to reduce the cost of production processes without compromising their quality. Currently, there is an increasing variety of models of the devices used, as well as software systems for flight planning, data management, and image processing. The article analyzes the methods of using remote sensing technology from a drone to create a cartographic basis for cadastral work, using the example of a land plot in the Kinelsky municipal district of the Samara region. The article verifies the use of drones in creating a cartographic basis for cadastral work. The article also develops a technological scheme for using drones in specific conditions. When conducting a set of works, a preparatory stage is identified, which involves the creation of ground control points (GCP) for the correct operation of drones. A multicopter drone was selected, and data sources were created to create a cartographic basis. A flight mission was planned and executed, and the results were processed in the Agisoft Metashape software package. An orthophoto plan was obtained, and the boundaries of the land plots were vectorized in the QGIS program. A complete cartographic basis has been created for using the obtained materials in cadastral activities. The use of UAVs has proven to be effective in creating a cartographic basis for cadastral work.
