The conducted review presents the possibility of using artificial neural networks in sectors related to environmental protection, agriculture, forestry, land uses, groundwater and bathymetric. Today there is a lot of research
in these areas with different research methodologies. The result is the improvement of decision-making processes, design, and prediction of certain events that, with appropriate intervention, can prevent severe consequences for society. The review shows the capabilities to optimize and automate the processes of modeling
urban and land dynamics. It examines the forecasts of assessment of the damage caused by natural phenomena.
Detection of environmental changes via the analysis of certain time intervals and classification of objects on
the basis of different images is presented. The practical aspects of this work include the ability to choose the
correct artificial neural network model depending on the complexity of the problem. This factor is a novel element since previously reviewed articles did not encounter a study of the correlation between the chosen model
or algorithm, depending on the use case or area of the problem. This article seeks to outline the reason for the
interest in artificial intelligence. Its purpose is to find answers to the following questions: How can artificial
neural networks be used for spatial analysis? What does the implementation of detailed algorithms depend on?
It is proved that an artificial intelligence approach can be an effective and powerful tool in various domains
where spatial aspects are important.
