УПРАВЛІННЯ РОЗВИТКОМ ТУРИСТИЧНО-РЕКРЕАЦІЙНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ НА РІВНІ ДЕСТИНАЦІЇ

Today, despite martial law and the crisis conditions that Ukraine's economy is facing, the tourism business is gradually recovering. In this regard, the country's leadership pays special attention to the formation of separate economic zones of tourist and recreational type and the creation of tourist clusters and destinations. Considering the aforesaid, it is important to provide a scientific justification for the specifics of the implementation of the territorial management system aimed at the development of tourism and regional tourism business. The article considers issues concerning the practice of implementing the methodology for managing the development of tourism and recreational activities at the destination level. The concepts of «tourist and recreational regionalisation» and «tourist and recreational zonation» are studied. In order to study the issue of territorial development and control of regional management processes in the sphere of tourism and recreation, the specific features of regional management processes are investigated on the basis of the methodology of regionalisation and zonation of territory. The article analyses approaches to zonation and regionalisation of tourist and recreational areas. It is specified that the types of tourist and recreational regionalisation and zonation depend on established goals, objectives, and indicators that are determined on the basis of the resource, physical and geographical approaches and socio-economic approaches. The key aspects of implementation of the methodology of regionalisation and zonation of tourist and recreational territories are identified. The approaches to zonation and regionalisation of tourist and recreational areas that have been considered, demonstrate a wide range of tasks that require further investigation and the search for effective solutions. With the purpose of studying the issue of territorial development and control of regional management processes in the sphere of tourism, the specific features of regional management processes have been investigated on the basis of the methodology of regionalisation and zonation of territory. On the basis of the methodology of regionalisation and zonation of the territory, a map of zonation of Cherkasy region by tourist and recreational microdistricts and a schematic map of tourist and recreational microdistricts of the region on the basis of homogeneity and coherence are built.

Innovations as the main factor of agricultural development at the regional level

Aim. Identification of modern features of innovative activity in the agricultural sector of the economy of Ukraine on the example of the Cherkasy region. Methods. Sociological, economic, expert, technological, statistical, marketing. Results. In the modern economy of the Cherkasy region, innovations are an effective means of increasing the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises, since their goal is to create new products and enter new markets, inflow of investments and decrease the cost of production. The innovative activity of regional scientific agricultural institutions today is required the intensification of research against the background of increased competition in the market and the wide introduction of Ukrainian products into the world economy. The experience of economically developed countries is showed that the effectiveness of innovative activities and the degree of involvement of commodity producers in the innovation process largely determine the success of entering the world agricultural market and the competitiveness of agricultural commodity producers. This is placed high requirements on the modernization of the domestic agricultural industry and the development, implementation and use of innovations in this area, making it one of the key principles of strategic development. But there are still a large number of unresolved issues regarding the introduction of domestic innovations: low solvency of agricultural enterprises, imperfect support for innovative activities at the state level, high risk when introducing new technologies, lack of qualified specialists in the field of innovation, lack of an established financial mechanism for the innovative development of agricultural enterprises. The most pressing issue is the modification of completed scientific developments into a knowledge-intensive innovative product, as well as its further implementation. Conclusions. Unfortunately, the interaction between science and business in the state is very weak and underdeveloped. That is why a significant number of promising and interesting innovations are not commercialized and agricultural enterprises lose the opportunity for modern innovative development, which is especially important in the conditions of wartime and the post-war period.

INTRODUCTORY SEARCH AND MOBILIZATION OF PRUNUS DULCIS (MILL.) D.A.WEBB SPECIMENS FOR RESEARCH IN KHOROL BOTANICAL GARDEN

The Khorol Botanical Garden is presented as a point of introduction of subtropical fruit plants, where Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb occupies a prominent place among the studied species, since the value of the stone core of this culture is widely known.
 Odesa, Zaporizhzhya and Cherkasy regions are shown as regions for the selection of introduction material, because in the last decade, thanks to the activities of the NGO «Ukrainian Walnut Association» and amateur gardeners, P. dulcis has become increasingly widespread.
 The expediency of selecting cultivars according to their description is substantiated, because the determining feature is the average and late flowering of plants, since in the conditions of the forest-steppe of Ukraine, early flowering ones can suffer from reverse frosts, which significantly affects the yield of the crop.
 The results of the search for P. dulcis for the mobilization of samples to the Khorol Botanical Garden are highlighted. It was established that in the steppe zone of Ukraine, a significant number of varieties of Ukrainian and foreign selection programs are cultivated, which bear fruit every year and form full seeds. The high adaptation of cultivars, their plasticity and winter resistance was shown, which made it possible to identify and mobilize samples of the following mid- and late-flowering varieties and forms: ‘Amaretto’, ‘Papershell’, ‘Vairo’, ‘Victoria’, ‘Dessertny’, ‘Meteor’, Pervenets Khramov’, ‘Foros’, ‘E5 Borozan’, ‘M 41 Alex’, ‘Ferragnès’, ‘Fentsia’, ‘Thin-skinned’, forms 9-A,1-D, 3-E, F–37 ‘Louise’ , F–58–12 ‘Paper’, № 1 (weeping), № 2, F–48.
 It is noted that the collected collection of P. dulcis samples will be further investigated for pollination with the establishment of differentiation between self-incompatible and self-compatible varieties and forms.
 It is emphasized that self-incompatible varieties, while producing viable pollen and ovules, are unable to fertilize the seed primordia of the same variety and, as a result, produce a harvest. Because of this, the presence of two or more varieties in a separate garden is necessary to ensure the transfer of pollen from the anthers of the flowers of one variety to the receptacles of the flowers of another. Insufficient pollination is a real loss of yield, so to ensure a good level of yield, the maximum number of flowers must be pollinated. In P. dulcis, the reduction in fruit number resulting from any pollination problem is rarely offset by the increase in fruit size and weight that occurs in other fruit crops.

Erosion control properties of self-seeded forests that appeared in forestless areas of ravine-gully systems

Abstract During land unsoldering in Ukraine, so-called “self-seeded forests” appeared on lands that had not been used for agriculture for a long time. The purpose of the research is to find out the erosion control properties of self-seeded forests. Twelve locations of natural regeneration of various types of woody plants on the ravine-gully system of Cherkasy region were chosen as research sites. Self-seeded woods have a structure of different ages from 8 to 25 years. Most of them are represented by mixed stands, which increase their biological stability. They are better adapted to the current climate change. The formation of uneven-aged stands of natural regeneration with high resistance and erosion control properties was noted. According to the qualitative indicator of productivity, the natural regeneration turned out to be different, which was primarily caused by forest sites conditions, in particular, the steepness, the position on the slope, and the thickness of the humus horizon of the soil. The hardness of the soil was determined in the range from 17.1 to 19.0 kg/cm2, which corresponds to an average loose state. The hardness of the soil in the control was 23.9 kg/cm2, which corresponds to its compacted state. The water permeability of the soil under the studied stands was 11.1–27.3 (control – 8.9) mm/min, which characterizes it from the best to chasm. The obtained soil water permeability data confirm the rapid transfer of surface runoff to subsoil, which prevents the development of erosion processes. Natural regeneration on the slopes of the ravine-gully system is determined to be successful, although it requires considerable time for the formation of full-fledged plantations.

RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF ETHNIC AND EVENT TOURISM IN CHERKASY REGION FOR PATRIOTIC EDUCATION AND

The paper presents an analysis of the prospects for the development of domestic ethnic tourism and event tourism, festival, in particular, in Cherkasy region. The development of ethnic and event tourism will contribute to the patriotic education of youth and the formation of national consciousness and self-identification, which is currently very relevant in the context of a full-scale invasion and the need to unite the nation. After the end of the war, the country will need nationally conscious citizens, and attending ethnic festivals and other similar events will contribute to this. The relevance of the research is explained by insufficient coverage of the issue of ethnic and event tourism in Cherkasy region in the scientific literature. The research reveals the prospects for the ethnic and event tourism development in Cherkasy region, as well as the peculiarities of culture, traditions, and festivals of the region, which are attractive for tourists. Theoretical analysis and systematization of scientific literature were used as the research methods in order to determine the state and theoretical justification of the prospects for the development of domestic ethnic tourism and event tourism in Cherkasy region. The used methods of empirical research are comparison, generalization, observation. The article shows that Ukraine in general, and Cherkasy region in particular, have a significant potential for the introduction of ethnotours and ethnic festivals, taking into account the available ethnotourism resources. The holding of ethnic festivals representing unique traditions, authentic rites and customs, unique national cuisine, and the hospitality of Ukrainians contribute to increasing the number of tourists, promote patriotic education and national consciousness. It is advisable to develop new ethno-programs taking into account folk customs and traditions. At the same time, the development of ethnic and event patriotic tourism will contribute to the preservation and actualization of the cultural and historical potential of Ukraine as a state whose people have their own national mentality.

Spring-Time Ritual Folk Songs from Zvenyhorodshchyna: Ethnography, Typology, Geography

Spring-time ritual folk songs are currently a relict phenomenon in the local tradition of the historical Zvenyhorodka region (which covers the current Zvenyhorodka and parts of the neighbouring regions of the Right Bank of Cherkasy region) studies, so each recorded unit (song, text, description of a ritual or even a mention of their former life) is perceived by the researcher as an very important finding.
 In the Eastern Podillia region of Cherkasy region (on the lands of the historical Uman region) until recently, you could hear stories about the rituals and songs of the spring-time cycle. On the other hand, spring-time melotypes are almost completely absent in the Naddnipryanshchyna villages (except for Nadtyasmynnia area). In this way, Zvenyhorodshchyna appears as the frontier of the actual ritual folk songs certain layer existence and at the same time – a transition zone between two large ethnographic regions, which absorbed the musical and stylistic features of both of them.
 In the most complete collection of calendar and family rituals of the Right Bank of Cherkasy region, the beginning of the 20th century – monograph "Zvenyhorodshchyna" by A. Krymskyi, in addition to a detailed description of customs, rites and comments on them, contains more than 40 texts of spring dances, games and songs, as well as fasting verbal verses – "khrystuvannia", performed during the round of courtyards by children and young people on Easter. A certain number of samples of spring-time ritual genres are also found in music and ethnographic publications of different years and in the author's contemporary recordings.
 The largest part of the local spring repertoire is made up of round dance and dance songs: "Shum", "Kryvyi Tanec", "Mak", "Zaichyk", "Proso", "Podolyanochka", "Verbovaya Kladochka", "Tuman", etc. Spring dances begin to be led and sung from Easter or even during Lent.
 Among the genres of spring-time ritual singing, there are unique examples of early spring appeals, a group of lyrical ("velychalni" according to Y. Yefremov) ("Oh vesna, vesna, vesnyanochka", "Oi u pravuyu seredu", etc.) and timed ones to the spring season songs.
 The collected and analyzed musical and ethnographic data formed the basis of typological maps that allow us to draw conclusions about the geographical distribution of certain spring melotypes in the Zvenyhorodshchyna region.

Embroidered and Woven Towel (Rushnyk) as part of Cultural Code of Bride’s Traditional Costume

The purpose of the article is to study the specific role of the embroided towel (rushnyk) as a key element of women’s wedding clothing in the context of its cultural code; outlining the concept of cultural code in terms of decorative art and people’s worldview; to determine the role of the embroidered towel (rushnyk) in women’s wedding costume. The methodology of the study is based on the principle of historicism, systematicity and author’s objectivity. General scientific methods of analysis, analogies, modeling, and systemic analysis have also been used. Scientific novelty. The article reveals for the first time the specifics of the embroidered towel (rushnyk) as an element of cultural code of women’s wedding clothing of the Ukrainian people. The role of the embroided towel (rushnyk) in a traditional costume of a bride is outlined as one of its key elements having a protective meaning, considering its use as personification of a belt. The reasons for such rituals are explained. Conclusions. By analysing particular items of decorative and applied arts (embroided towels, costume elements), as well as a set of rituals and examples of oral folk arts related to the topic of the study, it has been proved that the embroidered towel (rushnyk) in wedding rituals of the Ukrainian people plays an important role precisely in terms of using it as an element of cultural code of the bride’s clothing. A number of examples reveal the ways of tying it to a bride and a groom, as well as other participants of the ceremony. For this purpose, wedding pictures and illustrations depicting brides and grooms in traditional festive costumes were used. They included, in particular, illustrations of wedding clothing of young people from Kherson county of Kherson province, costumes of newly married couples from Novhorod-Siverskyi county of Chernihiv province, a picture of a wedding in the village of Borovykove, Cherkasy region (mid‑20th century).
 Key words: cultural code, embroidered towel (rushnyk), traditional costume of a bride, women’s clothing, belt, ornament, Ukrainian traditional costume, traditions.

Forced Labor Camps for Jews inReichskommissariatUkraine: The Exploitation of Jewish Labor within the Holocaust in the East

AbstractUsing mainly survivor testimonies, more than 120 forced labor camps for Jews have been identified in Reichskommissariat (Rk) Ukraine, a larger number than previously known. Many were road construction camps along Transit Highway IV, where living conditions were harsh and Jews that fell sick were routinely shot. Similar camps also extended eastward into the Dniprpetrovsk and Cherkasy regions. In addition, a few camps for Jews engaged in bridge construction were established on the fringes of Rk Ukraine, using the labor of Jews from Transnistria. In the Volynia, Rivne, and Brest regions the Germans also established camps for work in agriculture, peat-digging, forestry, lumber, and for skilled craftsmen. The Jews in most of these camps were killed by the end of 1942, either together with the inmates of nearby ghettos, or separately a few weeks later. The location of many camps in the countryside facilitated the escape of some Jews. A few remnant ghettos, such as that in Volodymyr-Volynsky, existed into 1943. Little trace remains of these camps today, even where the Jewish gravesites have been marked by memorial stones.

Assessment of prevention and treatment programs efficiency for oncological diseases (on the example of the central Ukraine regions)

Annotation. Oncology remains a global problem for humanity. International efforts to overcome it aim at implementing programs for prevention and early detection of neoplasms. The article is devoted to the study and analysis of the results of the implementation of programs to fight oncological diseases in Ukraine in the period until 2022. We have performed a one-time exploratory and descriptive research by the means of processing the materials of state and targeted regional programs to fight oncological diseases, which were implemented in the regions of the center of the Ukraine (Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy regions), and we have assessed the level of their funding and implementation results. The study was conducted on the basis of information provided by the Health Departments of regional state administrations in 2021, as well as data obtained from the websites of these Health Departments. Statistical methods (analysis of relative values, calculation of absolute growth rate), structural-logical analysis and systematic approach were used. The research established that the implementation of programs for the prevention and control of oncological diseases made it possible to achieve positive dynamics of the main indicators of providing oncological care to the population (decrease in the one-year mortality rate, decrease in the neglect rate, increase in the percentage of patients covered by special treatment). However, against the background of positive trends, the level of funding programs in the field of cancer prevention remains insufficient. According to the findings of our research, certain gaps in oncology programs were revealed, namely: insufficient attention to the development of palliative medical care for cancer patients and problems of oncology in children. The obtained data serve as the basis for the development of measures to improve the work of the oncology service in Ukraine.

Optimization variations of valley-river landscape-technical systems of the Right Bank zone of Ukraine


 
 
 The aim of the research was to develop areas for optimization of valley-river landscape-technical systems (LTchS) on the example of the model region – the Right Bank of Ukraine. The research was based on the materials of the long-term field observations which were carried out in the context of the studies of F.M. Milkov about anthropogenic landscapes. The use of expeditionary and stationary research techniques made it possible to receive the required material for the development of the optimization options of valley-river landscape-technical systems. Six options/practices for the optimization of valley-river LTchS on the example of the Right Bank zone of Ukraine are suggested. Option A does not envisage a control regain over landscape-technogenic systems (LTS); it can be used locally. Option B1 is directed towards a partial restoration of the previous func- tions of the system and an episodic/occasional control over a technical block of LTS. Option B2 implies a total change of the economic purpose of LTchS with the aim of recreation. Option B3 consists in making a nature reserve of some landscape technogenic systems,in perspective the range/habitat of unique species of flora and fauna can be saved or restored on these territories. The restoration of a landscape-techno-genic system to the «operation» stage with previous functions is achieved when option C1 is used. Option C2 requires substantial capital investments, as it implies the creation of an absolutely new landscape-engineering system. For this option, projects have been developed to restore sections in the valleys of the Sob River (Gaisyn city, Vinnytsia region) and the Hirskyi Tikych River (Buky town, Cherkasy region). A layout of the optimized valley-river LTchS on the territory of the Right Bank of Ukraine was suggest- ed. The conclusion has been made that the use of one of the suggested options will not help improve the condition of all valley-river landscape-technogenic systems of the model region. Each river valley requires an individual approach in which the combination of all the above-mentioned directions will be used. The valley-river landscapes optimized with help of the presented scheme will form the image of nature of a present-day European state which will favour the establishment of the concept of well-balanced development.
 
 

Сomparative energy efficiency of soil management of Cherkasy region in different periods of management

Aim. To conduct a comparative analysis of energy efficiency of agriculture in the period of developed animal husbandry when applying manure as an organic fertilizer (1956−1995) and its coagulation (1996−2020) and the use of by-products in the agro-industrial complex of Cherkasy region. Methods. Analytical, statistical, mathematical. Results. During the period from 1956 to 2020 there was a significant transformation of the structure of sown areas in the agro-industrial complex of Cherkasy region due to the reduction of spring crops, fodder crops and growth of corn, sunflower, soybeans, which significantly affected the yield of main and by-products and changed their ratio. which, in the end, leaned in favor of the yield of by-products with the growth of the components that determine the ratio. The change in the structure of sown areas significantly affected the energy intensity of the main and by-products: in the period from 1956 to 1975, the main products accounted for 43% of energy consumption, and by-products – 35%; in the period 1976–1990 48% and 35%; in the period 2011−2020 36% and 54% respectively. Energy profitability for the growth of productivity and gross output of basic products in the period from 1996 to 2020 decreased 4.2 times compared to the period from 1956 to 1995, and relative to the total biomass formed by 1.25 times; energy consumption of production increased 4.9 times, and energy efficiency decreased 3.9 times. At the same time Kee decreased by 2.8–3.9 times, reaching the lower limit of efficiency (Kee = 2.5–2.6). Conclusions. It was found that the highest energy efficiency of agriculture was in the period from 1996 to 2000, when the highest level of energy efficiency was achieved (Kee = 4.66): at the same time high efficiency of crop production was ensured with simultaneous use of manure and by-products as organic fertilizer. . During this period, the optimal number of cattle was reached, when the number of cattle was about 600 thousand, against 1022 thousand heads in the period 1985−1990, which is 1.7 times less.

New and additional information on the flora of the Middle Dnieper

The article provides an annotated list of new floristic finds in the flora of the Middle Dnieper (on territory of Cherkasy region, as well as adjacent districts of Kyiv and Poltava regions), both aboriginal rare and alien species, including “runaways from culture”. In some cases, notes are given on the taxonomic status, features of the natural range, ancient indications of the localities of certain species in the region. For the first time, 31 new taxa were introduced for the regional flora of Cherkasy region, including 8 native and 23 alien. The most valuable is the information about rare aboriginal plants, in particular Asparagus tenuifolius, Euphorbia salicifolia, Polygonum patulum, Rosa andegavensis, etc. In the Uman district of Cherkasy region, the location of three species of flora that were considered disappeared in the region: Pentanema oculus-christi, Salvia dumetorum and Staphylea pinnata. For once, 3 new alien species have been introduced for the flora of Poltava region: Anthriscus caucalis, Lonicera × notha and L. ruprechtiana. The research revealed new locations of invasively active foreign plants, including ergasiophygophytes: Phytolacca acinosa, Silphium perfoliatum, Vitis riparia, Zizania latifolia etc., and quarantine xenophytes: Cenchrus longispinus and Eriochloa villosa. Progressive distribution of xenophytes with primary sub-Mediterranean and Central Asian habitats has been noted. Population growing of foreign plants emphasizes the existing negative trend of adventitia of the flora.The issues of naturalization of ergasiophytes are discussed, in particular the presence of mass selfseeding in the centers of their primary introduction, which is the impetus for their further spread. Provided information on spontaneous seed reproduction of species such as: Castanea sativa, Catalpa ovata, C. speciosa, Pilosella aurantiaca, Verbesina encelioides, Viola sororia and other cultivated plants. The above and similar information is an considerable element of comprehensive floral research.

Efficacy of decoquinate in pelleted feed in case of eimeriosis in lambs

Eimeriosis of sheep reduces the profitability of the production of wool, leather, meat, and milk, which causes substantial damage to the sheep industry, and therefore requires the introduction of effective means of prevention and treatment of animals from this infestation. The purpose of this study was to establish the efficacy of decoquinate in granular feed in case of lamb eimeriosis. As a result of coproscopic studies according to DSTU 5079 2008 “Veterinary medicine. Methods of laboratory diagnosis of eimerioses” determined the extent of invasion of lambs by oocysts of various Eimeria species, namely E. arloingi – 41%, E. crandallis – 29%, E. intricate – 15%, E. faurei – 15%, which are registered in animals of separate farms of the Cherkasy region. Clinical symptoms of eimeriosis are observed in young animals from the age of one month and are characterized by anaemia of visible mucous membranes, diarrhoea, depression of the general condition, weakness, and predominantly acute course of invasion with high mortality. The manifestation of clinical symptoms of the disease depends on many factors, namely the age of lambs, the sanitary situation on the farm, changes in feed fattening programs, stressful situations that arise due to the movement of sheep to other premises or weaning lambs from ewes. In older lambs, as a rule, the disease has a chronic and asymptomatic course. In such animals, Eimeria oocysts are excreted in faeces in much smaller quantities than in one-month-old lambs during an acute course of infection. The maximum values of invasion extensiveness (100%) and invasion intensiveness (12,000 oocysts in 1 g of faeces) were found in two-month-old lambs. Invasion in the digestive canal of these animals worsens the absorption of feed nutrients, which contributes to a decrease in the average daily weight gain (on average 155.3 g/day), which increases with treatment of animals with decoquinate (on average 185.7 g/day). In general, the use of decoquinate in sick lambs at a dose of 1 mg/kg of body weight for 28 days shows prominent therapeutic and preventive effectiveness. Therewith, extensefficiency is 90%, and parasite carrier is observed only in 10% of animals. Therefore, for the effective treatment of lambs of distinct age groups, the decoquinate preparation can be recommended, which is especially important for farms with intensive rearing of young sheep

SITES OF HORODYSHCHA ON THE VILSHANKA RIVER (materials for the archaeological map)

The study of archaeological heritage begins with its accounting and description. The genre of archaeological map appeared at the beginning of the development of archeology as a science. Today, the archaeological map is a complex multifunctional information system. Deployment of the «Archaeological Map» on a national scale requires significant organizational and financial resources. Today, one of the effective ways of advancing in this direction is the creation of archaeological maps of individual microregions.
 The town of Horodyshche in the Cherkasy region still does not have a systematic survey of archaeological monuments. Without such a survey, further archaeological research and protection of known objects are impossible. In the spring of 2022, the authors of the article carried out work on the search and analysis of data on archaeological monuments within the administrative boundaries of the city. The result of this work was the most complete descriptions of archaeological sites. The carried out archival and bibliographic research allows planning the next stages of work on the identification, accounting, protection and research of the city’s archaeological heritage.
 The next step should be the deployment of a separate program of archaeological research. A component of such a program should be a program of field research and promotional activities to spread an ecological attitude to archaeological heritage among local citizens. The primary tasks of the archaeological expedition are the re-examination and documentation of archaeological sites that are under state protection. The location of a part of such objects remains unknown, or their boundaries are not defined. An important work is drawing up the archaeological heritage management program. Among the archaeological sites there are objects that can become part of the cultural space of the city.
 This publication is designed to activate the interest in solving the above-mentioned problems of both professionals and city authorities, as well as citizens who are ready to join this important matter during the Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Geospatial-cartographic analysis of tourist opportunities in Ukraine based on alternative tourist accessibility

The purpose of the article is to substantiate geospatial-cartographic analysis methodology of alternative tourist accessibility for Ukrainian regions by individual types of tourism and highlighting the results of its practical approbation. The main material. The article provides the evaluation results of the tourist destinations (administrative regions) according to the author’s method of determining alternative tourist accessibility. Alternative tourist accessibility at this stage of the research involves assessment of territorial development potential as mutually exclusive opportunities, the choice of these opportunities for implementation of resort-healing, cultural-entertainment, cognitive, religious, hiking types of tourism. It is a continuation of the search for an optimal model of destination selection factors from the consumer’s point of view on tourist services to be taken into account. Using the combination of the rating approach, the method of places sums, mapping for processing of basic and special indicators of territorial, practical, price, information accessibility for Cherkasy region as a base example and other Ukrainian regions - competitors in above-mentioned types of tourism, we obtained practical recommendations not only for Cherkasy region itself, but also for other alternative areas. The authors established that Geospatial and cartographic analyses are the most appropriate at all stages of research: from studying the territory to presenting results and making administrative decisions. Conclusions and further research. The research revealed that Kyiv region is the leader in cultural-entertainment, religious and educational types of tourism. Odesa region is the leader in resort-healing, hiking types of tourism due to the developed infrastructure component, good basic territorial accessibility and active promotion of thematic tourism products. Cherkasy region is significantly behind the leaders in terms of territorial and practical factors of alternative tourist accessibility. The main competitors for Cherkasy region are the following regions: Vinnytsia and Poltava - in cognitive tourism, Vinnytsia and Mykolaiv - in health resorts, Poltava and Kherson - in cultural and entertainment, Vinnytsia and Khmelnytsky - in relation to religion. We found that the most stringent competition for development in the tourism sector was in walking sports and sports and recreation. The advantage of Cherkasy region is the price factor. Among the regions that occupy the lowest rungs, and often cannot compete with stronger regions due to a variety of insufficient factors, we single out Ternopil, Sumy, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr regions by various types of tourism. As a promising direction of research, we define the adaptation of the proposed methodology at the united territorial community’s level.
