Abstract
Despite the significant success of the human population in the development of the planet's resources, man will most likely never be able to completely get rid of dependence on the material and energy mechanisms of the biosphere. The clearest proof of this is the existence of urban ecosystems, within which human living space is formed. However, there is no consensus among researchers on the participation of social and natural components in the formation of urban ecosystems. Moreover, there is no clear answer to the question of how and through what mechanisms the space of human life is formed in modern cities. The article analyzes the ontological affiliation of the category "living space". Numerous aspects of the formation of modern living space have been studied on the specific examples of urban ecosystems of Kryvyi Rih and Uman. In particular, sample surveys of residents of these cities were conducted, based on the results of which conclusions are made about the quality of living space. Tourist activity and tourist resources are considered by the authors as a field of harmonization of human-environment relations in modern conditions of formation of living space.
Highlights
Nowadays, the study of human living space and the category of "living space" is becoming increasingly important from the standpoint of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of many sciences
It is logical that the deep foundations of the idea of living space are rooted in the foundations of such basic sciences as ecology, sociology and psychology
How far has man departed from other biological species in the perception of environmental factors and reactions to them? This is an eternal question of human ecology, projected on urban ecology and still remains unanswered
Summary
The study of human living space and the category of "living space" is becoming increasingly important from the standpoint of the conceptual and categorical apparatus of many sciences. Urban ecosystem is a spatially limited natural-technogenic system, a complex set of interconnected metabolism and energy of autonomous living organisms, abiotic elements, natural and manmade, forming an urban environment (space) of human life that meets its needs: biological, psychological, ethnic, labor, economic, social. It consists of interconnected and interpenetrating subsystems (environments): quasi-natural (transformed geographical environment), landscape-architectural, socio-economic, socio-industrial [9]. All this determines the nature of a separate, relatively autonomous ecological system, which is based on the interaction of the social organism as a whole with the environment, which is undergoing changes on its part [10]
