Ergatic approach to reconstruction and modeling of the spatial future of Ukraine

Abstract

ABSTRACT The article expresses the idea of ergaticity and the ergatic approach (behavioral model) in decision-making on the spatial development of Ukraine, which considers the state and its space as a ‘system-process’ that is characterized by behavior, the ability to self-organize and self-develop, and the choice of effective behavior in changing realities and situations. Foreign and domestic scientific sources, statistical compilations, project materials, strategies, and programs for the development of Ukraine, its regions, and cities served as source data. The authors use long-term monitoring of processes at different hierarchical levels of the space of the state, their dynamics, and changes. The study resulted in the substantiation of the conceptual provisions of the ergatic approach to planning and modeling the spatial future of Ukraine. The suggested spatial changes relate to functional and urban zoning of the territories of the state; development of connections and understanding of the multidimensional dynamics of processes in the territory; placement of new elements and investments in the existing structure of natural landscape and urban planning conditions; spatial, temporal, structural, and parametric coordination of processes in the space of the state and creation of systemic effects of using the capacity of ergaticity in the spatial development of Ukraine.
