It has shown the opinions of Kyiv universities students on the question where they prefer to live in the future. Results. Opinion poll data divide the whole set of world countries into three groups: countries positively perceived, countries negatively perceived and countries with equivalent assessment. The data have used for creation of map, which helps display the basic structural elements of world space: the centers of attraction and repulsion centers. Cartographic analysis shows that main centers of attraction lie in western Europe, which is attractive because of the high-level of well-being, historical and cultural heritage and democratic systems of governance. Former Soviet republics, in general, are perceived as being poor and therefore unattractive, although a large number of students had visited them many times. The students’ knowledge of the world is strongly influenced by information from the different sources: cinema, internet, etc. Maps of countries and city brands are the tools of studying and designing a brand of the country and can be used by government agencies for the increasing the country attractiveness.
