The article addresses the issue of geodetic support for monitoring land surface deformations caused by anthropogenic pressure and climate change, which is an important prerequisite for preventing soil degradation and ensuring sustainable territorial development. The aim of the study is a comprehensive investigation of the geodetic support system as a fundamental basis for obtaining spatial data necessary for assessing and forecasting the dynamics of land resource conditions. Erosion-prone agricultural lands of the Mizoch territorial community in Rivne region were selected as the object for practical testing of the proposed solutions. The study analyzes the algorithm of geodetic monitoring, which includes preparatory and field work, data processing, GIS-based modeling of spatial changes, and the stage of managerial decision-making. Particular attention is paid to the fact that each stage requires the integration of specific instrumental methods and topographic-geodetic procedures to ensure high-precision recording of spatial shifts in terrain and soil cover over time. The principles of forming a monitoring framework are described in detail. In particular, the basic criteria for designing geodetic networks are formulated, including the layout of profile lines, reliable fixation of at least two reference benchmarks outside the zone of potential deformations, and the optimal placement of working stations directly within the risk area. The practical value of systematic ground-based geodetic measurements for the timely identification of erosion centers and soil displacements is demonstrated. The accumulated set of verified spatial data provides a reliable basis for the development of effective land reclamation measures and for making informed management decisions in the field of land protection within the community. Prospects for further research include the adaptation of deformation monitoring tools to other types of landscapes and specific land-use regimes.
