The major natural-technogenic objects in remote sensing applications are specified in the paper. The paper shows the importance of modern monitoring technologies in order to provide broad picture of the current state of the object and its natural environment as a single system, including the possible changes in the current state and management of the system under normal and emergency modes with the visualization of results of data processing. The goal of the paper is to specify the most important monitoring objects within Latvia-Russia cross-border territory. Practical applications of remote sensing and geoinformation technology in different areas are considered in the paper as well. The worldwide best practices of the different object monitoring are examined and possible objectives, issues and benefits are defined. Some types of natural-technogenic objects are hold out for the further study in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed integrated intelligent monitoring system.
