System-forming properties of space-time in the transformation of sociogeographic space

Abstract

Coincidence of system interrelations in time and space is a necessary condition for the emergence of a space-time system. According to the author, systems in which both the spatial and temporal properties of their elements can change the nature of the system-forming phenomena and processes should be called space-time systems. Transformation of sociogeographic space is such a system. It is proved that not only social phenomena can change their nature due to transformation, but most significantly, time and space by themselves could be treated as system-forming for the subject of this study.
