Methodological problems of inventory and assessment of recreational and tourism potential Vitaliy Sych Odessa І. І. Mechnikov National University Abstract The article considers the concepts of recreational resources and recreational conditions and emphasizes that not all recreational conditions and resources can be estimated using quantitative assessment scales. In the case when public recreational goods do not have quantitative assessments, they use the methods of ranking or verbal attributive comparisons. The concept of natural capital is considered in the work, attention is paid to ecological and economic assessments of recreational conditions and resources, also to the participation of the technosphere in the functioning of recreational and tourism activities, ranking of natural resources according to their competitive properties. The directions of development of the methodological scheme of estimation of recreational conditions and resources taking into account modern theoretical and methodical developments of social and economic benefits are marked. Key words: recreational conditions and resources; recreation and tourism activity; evaluation scales; systematics of recreational goods

The network systematics of recreational and tourist potential Vitaliy Sych Odesa І. І. Mechnikov National University Abstract Practical requests for recreational and tourist activities require the characterization and assessment of specific conditions and resources, specific facilities, areas and territories. Therefore, scientists and practitioners try to develop "working methods" for the assessment of recreational and tourist potential. This is how we explain the need to form a network systematics of recreational and tourist potential as a new direction of evaluation of recreational benefits. The main objectives of this article is the introduction and development of the concept of recreational cluster as the unit of the network systematics of recreational and tourist potential. Material and methods: as a methodological basis used developments that are set out in the scientific works of Ukrainian scientists and previous author's developments. Both general scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, system approach, induction and deduction) and specific scientific methods were used in the work. Results and discussion: the problem of developing integrated assessments of recreational and tourist potential remains as a core methodological direction, which is still far from being developed. We illustrate this approach with a formalized methodological scheme. It presents two areas of hierarchical systematics of recreational and tourist potential – component and functional. Another direction at the intersection of hierarchical classifications is formed by the network systematics of recreational and tourist potential. Conclusions: recreational cluster – is a unit of network taxonomy, which is formed at the intersection (of the component classification of recreational and tourist potential and functional taxonomy of recreational and tourist activity. The network systematics of recreational and tourist potential means combining recreational conditions and resources with their consumption in different types and forms of recreational and tourist activity. Key words: network systematics; recreational and tourist potential; recreational geography and tourism; recreational cluster

    Assessing the atmospheric deposition of heavy metals using biomonitoring of moss near a mine in south-central British Columbia

    Mines are known to cause severe environmental problems. Heavy metals appear in the environment (i.e., during combustion, extraction, and processing), surface water (i.e., through runoff and releases from storage and transport), and in the soil. Air pollution is noted to be the primary concern of the public, in regard to mines. The presence of heavy metals in the air are known to have a drastic effect on human health and cause ecological implications. Moss have become a popular plant in monitoring studies as they have the ability to receive and accumulate heavy metals through absorption from the atmosphere and from their rooting substrate. These plants are very simple morphologically and anatomically and as a result, they are often chosen as an ideal organism for biomonitoring. I collected a total of 90 moss samples from 3 primary radii (North, East, and West) at distances of 1km, 2km, and 5km from the mine boundary for chemical analysis in order to meet two primary objectives: 1) determine whether moss outside the limits of the mine contain heavy metals: Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), and Nickel (Ni); and 2) analyze the potential use and effectiveness of biomonitoring to assess ecosystem response. Due to COVID restrictions, only samples from East 5km and West 2km were analyzed. Using flame atomic adsorption spectrometry (FAAS), concentrations of Zn and Cu were found to be higher at the East 5km site than at the West 2km site due to elevation, wind trends, and leaching. Concentrations of Pb and Ni were undetectable by the FAAS. Moving forward, biomonitoring is a relatively inexpensive, passive way to assess ecosystem response. Air pollution levels change rapidly over time and moss as biomonitors are capable of monitoring and detecting external conditions averaged over periods of time. The environmental impacts of mines outside their boundaries is poorly studied and future research would be beneficial. A standardized protocol is lacking for sampling, sample preparation, and elemental analysis.biomonitoringbioindicatorbiodiversitymossminingheavy metalspollutio

    Розглянуто сучасні підходи до визначення ревіталізації, появу та розвиток поняття та актуалізацію процесів ревіталізації в ХХІ столітті. Опрацювання наукових джерел дало змогу сформувати визначення ревіталізації як процесу, що зініційований та координується місцевою владою з прив’язкою до конкретної території, що зазнала явищ деградації з низки причин, та який стимулює й реалізує значні заходи з покращення життя місцевої громади на засадах сталого розвитку. На прикладі світового досвіду індустріальних перетворень вказано на передумови запровадження програм ревіталізації: економічні – з метою збільшення інвестиційної привабливості територій; соціальні – з метою покращення житлових умов робітників; інфраструктурних – з метою вдосконалення комунікацій і транспортних рішень у межах міста. Залежно від конкретних проблем та потреб територій використовувалися методи ремонту, модернізації, оновлення, реконструкції. Застосовувались інструменти викупу приватної власності державою, націоналізація майна, створення державноприватного партнерства. Залежно від історичного періоду в Європі та Америці ревіталізація відбувалася на основі концепцій модернізації, нарощування вартості майна, холістичного підходу, джентрифікації та розумного зростання. Негативною спадщиною Радянського Союзу для України залишаються монофункціональні міста й житлова нерухомість низької якості. Наголошено на активній ролі міжнародних організацій та міждержавних програм у формуванні стратегічного бачення ревіталізації та акумуляції фінансових ресурсів для її здійснення. Окреслено основні складові та якісні ознаки ревіталізації, що виділяють її на тлі інших політик місцевого чи регіонального розвитку. Це – врахування минулого досвіду, культурних особливостей та ціннісних орієнтацій громади, що проживає на означеній території. Сучасні програми ревіталізації міських просторів повинні включати тристоронні консультації місцевої влади, бізнесу та громадськості з метою широкого обговорення проблем і вибору оптимального варіанта майбутнього відновлення територій.Modern approaches to the definition of revitalization, the emergence and development of the concept and actualization of revitalization processes in the 21st century are considered in this paper. The processing of scientific sources make it possible to define revitalization as a process initiated and coordinated by local authorities with reference to the specific area degraded by a number of reasons, and which stimulates and implements significant measures to improve local community life on the principles of sustainable development. On the example of the world industrial transformations experience the preconditions of revitalization programs introduction are given – the economic one, aimed at the increase of territories investment attractiveness; the social one – focused on the improvement of workers living conditions; the infrastructure precondition – in order to improve communications and transport solutions within the city. Depending on the specific problems and needs of the territories, methods of repair, modernization, renewal, reconstruction are used; instruments of private property redemption by the state, property nationalization, creation of public-private partnership are used. Depending on the historical period, in Europe and America revitalization took place on the basis of the concepts of modernization, increase of property value, holistic approach, gentrification and reasonable growth. Monofunctional cities and low-quality residential real estate remain the negative heritage of the Soviet Union for Ukraine. The active role of international organizations and interstate programs in the formation of strategic vision of revitalization and accumulation of financial resources for its implementation is emphasized. The main revitalization components and qualitative features distinguishing it from other local or regional development policies are outlined – it is the consideration of the past experience, cultural peculiarities and values of the community living in the given area. Modern urban revitalization programs should include tripartite consultations with local authorities, businesses and public focused on broad problems discussion and selection of the best option for future redevelopmen

Formation of regional inter-sectoral complexes of recreation and tourism activity as a sign of structural reorganization of the economy Vitaliy Sych, Victoria Yavorska, Kateryna Kolomiyets Odesa І. І. Mechnikov National University, Odesa, Ukraine Abstract Changes taking place in recent decades in the global economy have led to the formation and development of new highly differentiated inter-branch complexes, rather than separated industries. In the global economy, such reorganization is marked by the formation of new sectors of the economy, one of which is a sector of socio-natural types of economic activity. At the level of regions, new integration formations are developed - regional inter-sectoral recreational complexes (IcRC). The purpose of our study is to substantiate the formation of regional inter-sectoral complexes of recreational and tourist activities (RTA) in the conditions of radical restructuring of the economy of post-industrial civilization. Inter-sectoral complex RTA is a set of different types of activities of the population - economic and non-economic, as well as leisure forms that provide the needs of the population of the region (countries) in recreation services, health improvement, healing and tourism, accompanying social services and recreational and tourist infrastructure. The study presents an author's vision of the composition and structuring of the regional inter-sectoral complex of recreation and tourism activity. The developed model of the inter-sectoral complex RTA covers all varieties of recreational activities with all its forms - tourism, organized recreation, unorganized (amateur) mass recreation, household recreation. The geographical bases for the formation of regional inter-sectoral recreational complexes are serving recreational and tourist resources - destinations that determine the specialization of the region by types of RTA. Depending on the level of development of RTA in the region, the RTA management systems may form. At the local and regional levels, the RTA nodes will be destinations - local and regional concentration of recreational and tourist resources with appropriate infrastructure. On the global (international) level, RTA retains a network form of a territorial organization, whose nodes are world centres and areas of tourism, as well as the main areas of formation of tourist flows. Key words: global economy; regional inter-sectoral complexes; territorial organization; recreation and tourism activity; regional specialization

    European structural funds and financial institutions are the primary funding sources for strategic development initiatives, achieving sustainable development goals and implementing the Green Deal strategy in Europe. As Ukraine moves towards EU membership, it has the potential to use these new financial instruments to support its development projects, drawing on the experience of neighbouring countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic. The article evaluates the effectiveness of EU funding in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine. We built a regression model that assessed the impact of EU financial instruments on economic growth in Ukraine, Poland and the Czech Republic over ten years. A regression analysis of the relationship between financing through EBRD, EIB loans and indicators of GDP per capita, and foreign direct investment, showed a high level of correlation between these indicators in each country. The most significant impact on GDP is indicated by EBRD project financing in Ukraine. In addition, the growth of financing through European banks is a good sign for foreign investors. It contributes to their involvement in the country's economy, which is crucial for the recovery of Ukraine after the war. The study is of practical importance for improving Ukraine's reconstruction programs using diversified sources of financing

    The author wonders to what extent the events of 1989 corresponded to generally accepted ideas about the revolution? He considers that in the characteristics of those events, the word «revolution» was not chosen very well.  On the other hand, the reforms that began in Eastern Europe after rapid and dramatic events of 1989 were undoubtedly of revolutionary character.Autor zastanawia się, w jakim stopniu wydarzenia 1989 roku zgodne są z ogólnie przyjętymi opiniami o rewolucji. Uważa on, że słowo „rewolucja” określające przedstawione wydarzenia jest nietrafione. Jednocześnie, reformy, które rozpoczęły się w Europie Wschodniej po szybkich i dramatycznych wydarzeniach 1989 roku, miały z pewnością rewolucyjny charakter.Autor zastanawia się, w jakim stopniu wydarzenia 1989 roku zgodne z ogólnie przyjętym opiniom o rewolucji?
