The article addresses the application of geoinformation analysis technologies to solve problems of land management systems development in the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Using an example of the study of the territory of Kardagar province, it is shown how space survey materials and spatial analysis technologies can be utilized in assessing the prospects for the development of irrigated agriculture in the Arghandab River valley. The study uses decoding of multitime satellite images in order to map the structure of land utilization. This allows us to obtain uniform in quality and objective information simultaneously for vast territories. The approach makes up for a significant lack of data from the ground surveys of the region. Electronic thematic maps and digital models of the topography of the studied territory have been developed, which helps to determine the undeveloped lands suitable for agricultural use. The effectiveness and reliability of satellite data in analysis of poorly studied territories is demonstrated. The results of the study are of practical importance for the development of the informational basis for the land management systems in Afghanistan.
