The case of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred Square in Zhytomyr shows the positive impact of urban activism on improving the quality of abandoned public space by means of its reconstruction. The assessment of the quality and the use of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred Square after the reconstruction was conducted on the basis of calculations of indices specifying an intensity of use and, in particular, social use, duration of stay of visitors, variety of use and users, and time variety of use. The indices were calculated based on the data collected during the structured observation. The results demonstrate that the square is characterized by a moderate level of intensity of social interaction, high level of intensity, variety and time diversity of use, as well as very high level of user diversity index. Eight areas by the location of different types of square visitors activities have been identified according to the results of observations and surveys; in particular, it is revealed that the areas of chess tables, a cafe, playground and various benches are in the greatest demand in the square. The inclusive accessibility, comfort and safety of the square after its reconstruction are analyzed. It was found that the high social intensity of the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred Square use show its sacredness for citizens as a place of memory, a place of identity formation, a place that attracts visitors, and a place that encourages Zhytomyr residents to go out to the city. The study of the impact of urban activism on improving the quality of the abandoned public space (the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred Square in Zhytomyr) contributes to the discourse on modern transformations of public spaces in the cities of post-socialist countries.","PeriodicalId":143656,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomichna ta Sotsialna Geografiya","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131300646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"STRUCTURAL GEOSTRATEGY OF UKRAINE CONCERNING POST-SOVIET COUNTRIES IN NEW GEOPOLITICAL REALITIES","authors":"Vladyslav Morhatskyi","doi":"10.17721/2413-7154/2019.82.34-49","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17721/2413-7154/2019.82.34-49","url":null,"abstract":"This article is a brief analysis of the trends of political and geographical processes in the post-Soviet countries, theoretical and methodological principles of constructive geostrategy are defined and the stages of their course are outlined. Particular attention is paid to the last mentioned, because its isolation was carried out through the Russian intervention into Ukraine and the strengthening of ties within the Eurasian Economic Community.Moreover, relations with each country are considered. In order to do this, the regions of interaction on the basis of geographic and geopolitical factors have been identified. These are, in particular, the regions of the Eastern Baltic (the states of the EU and NATO) and the GUAM (regional association of countries, most of which are Associate Members of the EU). The Russian Federation is allocated to be a separate region as a regional leader among the post-Soviet countries and the most complicated for us in the relations of the subject with its neo-imperial geopolitical ambitions. What is more, in a separate group are the Allied states of Russia (Belarus and Armenia). And lastly, Central Asia consistent in all respects is highlighted. Analysis of relations with all countries is performed in three dimensions: geopolitical, geoeconomic and geocultural. After that a constructive geostrategy which primarily relies on Ukrainian interests, but is acceptable to each subject, has been developed. Significant emphasis was put on maintaining positive relations and existing positions in the countries markets. This does not apply to Russia, with which relations will remain cool in the future, and trade and economic cooperation requires immediate diversification to ensure geopolitical interests.","PeriodicalId":143656,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomichna ta Sotsialna Geografiya","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115458877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"FEATURES OF THE URBAN AGGLOMERATIONS DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONDITIONS OF CONTEMPORARY GLOBALIZATION","authors":"K. Kravchenko","doi":"10.17721/2413-7154/2022.87.72-81","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17721/2413-7154/2022.87.72-81","url":null,"abstract":"The intensity of globalization processes and the role of cities in the socio-economic development of countries and regions increase at the current stage of society's development. Agglomerations that have the status of the global (world) level play the most crucial role. he purpose of the paper is to analyze the impact of globalization processes on the peculiarities of the development of urban agglomerations in the conditions of contemporary globalization, as well as to identify problems and prospects for their further evolution. The research was carried out based on the system, synergistic, informational and human-geographical approaches; using the methods of induction and deduction, comparison, analogy, analysis, synthesis, systematization, as well as mathematical, statistical and cartographic methods. Three waves characterized the spread of globalization in historical retrospect: the first one (the first half of the 20th century) described the intensive development of cities and industry, the development of transport infrastructure; the second wave (the second half of the 20th century) marked the formation of transnational, transcontinental and global corporations, the transfer of \"dirty\" industries to the territory of poor third world countries; the third (the beginning of the 21st century – until now) characterizes the emergence of urbanization beyond geopolitical and administrative borders. A significant trend in the contemporary development of cities is the tendency towards developing urban agglomerations, increasing their importance in contemporary spatial transformations and processes taking place on the planet. Agglomerations within regions of the world arose quite unevenly. The largest number are in the USA, Europe, and Asia, and agglomerations are growing at an accelerated pace in Africa and Latin America. Until the 20th century, the large agglomerations were formed mostly in developed countries and regions of the world due to the available resource and economic potential. Now the processes of intensive agglomeration are characterized for cities and developing countries, where the number of agglomerations is increasing. A significant increase in the number of cities and agglomerations in countries with a low level of development leads to the emergence and aggravation of global problems of modern times.","PeriodicalId":143656,"journal":{"name":"Ekonomichna ta Sotsialna Geografiya","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127299415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
