Sustainable development, noosphere and spatial organization of society in the subject field of sociaty geography
Journal Title: Часопис соціально-економічної географії - Year 2016, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
The article is devoted to the noospherical evolution of the spatial organization of society. One of the main noospherical provisions of HomoSapiens ecology is the fact that this species is an equal participant in the natural material-energy cycle but it has expanded limits of its ecological niche by advancing in time natural processes (“traps for time”) and the spatial transformation of its ecotope (“traps for space”). In addition, this space-time transformation significantly increased the level of planetary entropy (“trap for information”). Therefore, spatio-temporal inconsistency nature and society development is considered as one of the main causes of increasing global environmental problem. Correct statement and further solution of global environmental problem can be solved within the boundaries of spatial socio-natural systems which are regarded as a set of three interrelated ecosystems of a Man – agricultural ecosystems, urban ecosystems and infraecosystems. Their contemporary interaction describes the modern scientific picture of the world within which scenarios of transition to sustainable development are possible. This approach is proposed to be carried by a system of criteria-indicators for the corresponding typology of countries in the world. Methodological approaches to the development of a new administrative-territorial structure ofUkrainebased on sustainable development criteria are proposed. In particular, striving for noosphere (sustainable development) in the course of noospherogenesis process should be carried out by a Man in spatial boundaries of socio-natural systems which represent ecosystems and have a dual character of boundaries. That is, these are synergistic conjunctions of natural and social components with each other that have been developing by their own laws. The new awareness of the ecological content of modern spatial organization of the society makes justifying special space and meaningful participation of human geography in studying noospherogenesis process that is embodied in the development of the most fundamental philosophical methodological approaches to studying the relationship of nature and society.
