    Express assessment of environmental impact of agriculture technologies on the soils of Cherkasy Oblast
    (Ukraine, Melitopol, 72312, Lenin St, 20, 2018) Son'ko, Sergiy
    Agriculture is the closest branch to natural ecosystems by the type of substance-energy relations. That is why the search for forms of its management (specialization) which would correspond to natural opportunities of a certain territory is the main task. Its solution will promote balanced environmental use in the agricultural sphere. Cherkasy Oblast belongs to the region in which a considerable part of agricultural production of Ukraine is produced. Therefore, an important problem is the definition of areas in which the impact of agriculture is an environmental hazard. Our research is aimed at it. The harmful effect on the soil of certain combinations of branches within each farm was determined. Based on information on the cultivation of crops by enterprises of Cherkasy Oblast, a method was developed for assessing the degree of environmental impact of both individual crops and their combinations. Zoning of territories by specialization (agricultural areas) and environmental impact is carried out. Application of this methodology has made it possible to establish that the current state of agricultural land use in the region does not meet requirements of rational nature management. Excessive load on soils in the process of agriculture led to the intensification of erosion processes which was facilitated by the unjustified increase in cultivated crops, in soil-exhausting sunflower and rape. For many decades, the extensive use of lands (especially arable lands) was not offset by equivalent measures for the reproduction of soil fertility and its rational use. According to the results, ways of reducing the harmful environmental impact of agricultural enterprises of Cherkasy Oblast are proposed

    Man in Noosphere: Evolution and Further Development
    (Printed according to resolution of Scientific Board of International Society of Philosophy and Cosmology (Minutes of meeting No. 29 from December 28, 2018), 2019) Son'ko, Sergiy
    The absence of the paradigm of the socio-natural development of the noospheric level is now confirmed by the almost complete fiasco of the concept of sustainable development (especially after Rio + 20). The main reason for this is the incorrect positioning of the “Homo” species in the biosphere of the planet. “Ecotope” Homo Sapiens goes far beyond the organism level of the species organization and covers the ecosystem level, forming an agroecosystem, as an ecological niche with moving spatial boundaries. The reason for the aggravation of the global ecological problem is the spatial inconsistency of the territorial combinations of the noospheric ecosystems. As close to sustainable, the priority development of agroecosystems as socio-natural systems is proposed and the need to “inscribe” administrative-territorial division into their borders, since just then the content of interaction between nature and society will be approximated to the adaptive content.

    On the modern conception of environment
    (Dniprop. Univer, 2018) Son'ko, Sergiy; Kiselyov, Yuriy; Polovka, Sergiy
    Currently a large number of, geographers and representatives of related sciences claim to have created integrated environmental concepts . This applies, in particular, to the concepts of "environmental science", "sociogeosystems", "anthropogenic landscape", "eco-geosophia", etc. All of them confirm the importance of solving the global environmental problem, and the need to unite scholars in all specialties. There is a significant revival of interest in the integral essence of geography, especially among anthropogeographers. This testifies to the fundamental unity of geographical science without its distinct division into natural and social geography, which divides the discipline up into a plethora of specific objects and subjects. Anthropogeographers have come to understand that the earth's space was initially organized by Nature itself. Mankind from the Neolithic Age has transformed his use of nature into the noosphere. If before the Neolithic revolution there still existed natural landscapes on the surface of the planet , then the Neolithic populations of Homo sapiens started to actively change the environments they inhabited. Approximately then, the search for ways to justify such, often destructive, intervention began. Such a change in the landscape was brought about by man, which encouraged scientists unwittingly to develop an "intentional paradigm", according to which the methodology of each science tries to take into account the role of man not only as a component of nature, but as its researcher. Even Strabo having realized the many-sidedness of human existence on our planet, already in ancient times, considered himself "not a geographer, not a historian, but a philosopher." Hettner, with his idea of "embedding" into the earth's space of all things, considered the object of studying geography this very earthly space with objects and phenomena that filled it and interacted with each other. According to Hettner, the connections between them have a landscape causal nature. To such systems of geobjects, Hettner also related human society. The idea of "through" was found in the works of our contemporary physicist and geographer Aleksey Reteyum, who discovered integral (socio-natural) spatial entities on the surface of the planet ("choriones" and "sphragids"), once again proving the "right to exist" of the noosphere suggested by Volodymyr Vernadsky. At present, it is geographers who must create an adequate concept of the environment, which is not yet developed in completed form. Its final design will require the rejection of the mechanistic perception of the world, divided into objects and subjects of research. It is geographers who should identify in time and space such integrated environmental systems (socio-natural systems, whose subsystems can be natural landscape systems and sociogeosystems), which are shaped as a result of the joint development of nature and society. Prospects for the productive development of environmental science are related to the concept of noosphere ecosystems.

    Philosophy and methodology of concept of the sustainable development
    (Ljubljana: VŠPV, Visoka šola za poslovne vede = Ljubljana School of Business, 2019) Son'ko, Sergiy; Shiyan, Dar'ya; Lakomova, Olena
    Ідея сталого розвитку, висунута в Ріо (1992), вже не отримала належного відбитку на другому глобальному форум в Йоханесбурзі. 10 років поспіль вже майже не звучали заклики до «обмеження споживання ресурсів». І це не випадковість, бо головні напрямки освоєння і структуризації географічного простору, ієрархія країн, що його освоюють, не змінились. Глобальна екологічна проблема постійно і неухильно загострюється і немає жодних надій на її вирішення. Така «безнадія» походить від невірного визначення методологічних орієнтирів у вивченні головних підвалин взаємодії природи і суспільства, і похідного від цього помилкового розуміння словосполучення «сталий розвиток». Однією з головних умов сталого (ноосферного) розвитку повинна бути така зміна структури і функцій природних екосистем, яка залишає їх здатними до самовідтворення. При розробці програм розвитку на національних рівнях обов’язково треба враховувати загально-планетрані тенденції структуризації географічного простору з подальшим «пошуком» свого місця в цьому процесі. Це примушує шукати інші перспективи «входження» України у глобалізоване суспільство з відкиданням «постіндустріалістських», «цивілізаційних», та інших модних штампів.

    SPATIAL ORGANIZATION OF TOURIST ATTRACTION NETWORK OF KRYVORIZHZHIA
    (HNU Karazin National University, 2018) Son'ko, Sergiy; Shiyan, Dar'ya; Kazakova, Tetiana
    Technogenic tourism, as a relatively young trend in tourism, begins to play a significant role in Kryvbas, one of the oldest industrial regions in Ukraine. It has preserved the industrial heritage of the previous industrial and technological structure. Considering the considerable length and the total area of Kryvbas, classical methods of spatial research, in particular, the model of spatial optimization of access areas of Thiessen-Voronoi, can be effectively applied to studying, in particular, its tourist resources. In our case, 48 points that correspond to certain tourist attractions form a network with different levels of transport access. The basis was the digital map of Kryvbas, made in MapInfoProf environment in previous author’s works. Next, with the special option of MapInfoProf, Voronoi polygons were developed which became the tool for further spatial analysis. Actually, the results of such analysis allowed to clarify the recreational and technogenic zoning of Kryvbas, as well as to study main laws of spatial organization of tourist attraction network of the region. Peculiarities of the modern spatial organization of tourist attraction network of Kryvorizhzhia encourage the conclusion on the presence of two major regions of the development of technogenic tourism within Kryvyi Rig. The first region is more developed Central-Southern with higher density and smaller average area of Voronoi polygons. The second one is the Northern with smaller number and larger average area of Voronoi polygons, as well as one that is more promising for the development of technogenic tourism. The results of the study will be useful in planning routes for tourist logistics.
