Abstract 

The paper presents the development of the concept of an interactive web-map application that allows users to explore environmental, historical, religious and cultural objects of the Podillia region and will contribute to the popularization of the region for recreation and tourism. The structure and functionality of the application, as well as the interactive component, are demonstrated. The workflow of the application was built in accordance with modern standards for the development of interfaces of cartographic web services. A geospatial database has been developed that provides ease of updating and scaling, including the ability to add new data and categories in the future. The implementation of an interactive cartographic web application required the study of specific features of cartographic design and the integration of various technologies, including QGIS for preparing geospatial data, HTML, CSS for structure and styling, jQuery for dynamic interaction, the Leaflet JS library for working with interactive maps, and WMS services.
