An important element of protection of natural ecosystems are protected areas and parks, which are the basis for the preservation of the gene pool of flora and fauna, typical and rare landscapes, maintaining favorable ecological conditions. Cartographic support is an integral part of the process of creation and operation of any protected area. Today, cartographic materials of National Parks and protected areas of Ukraine need modernization. Geoinformation technologies, which carry many effective technological solutions, allow to significantly improve the quality and update the information content. The use of specialized GIS significantly improves the quality of cartographic material of National Parks and protected areas of Ukraine. The objectives of the work are to propose a technological scheme of mapping of National parks and protected areas of Ukraine using GIS technologies and to describe the methodology of this mapping. As a result of the task, one of the possible methods of mapping National Parks and protected areas of Ukraine using GIS-technologies, consisting of 6 stages, was developed. According to this method, a corresponding map was created, which consists of the following 11 layers: nature reserves, biosphere reserves, nature parks, regional landscape parks, reserves, natural monuments, protected tracts, botanical gardens, dendrological parks, zoological parks, monuments. garden and park art. According to the obtained vector layers of data, cartographic models for the thematic atlas of National Parks and protected areas of Ukraine were created. Each layout contains a map, a legend to it, a direction to the North, a scale and a frame design.
