Deep knowledge of the nature and culture of Kalevalskiy National Park (KNP) territory is necessary for its effective conservation and management. The Geographic Information System (GIS) technology offers the most effective method of spatial data storage. It combines both databases of natural and cultural heritage objects and digital maps of their location and distribution. It is planned that KNP GIS will include information on 15–20 hierarchical levels of the natural and cultural environment. That will be the basis for thematic maps and tables for modeling to be used for effective administration, ecological tourism and research.
