Based on the expert assessment, a summary table of indicators with recommended for evaluating the accessibility of transport system elements was obtained. A list of priority measures was proposed to create an accessible urban transport environment. The results of the monitoring are the basis for further investigation of the problem of transportation of people with disabilities.

TOWN-PLANNING ANALYSIS OF INSTITUTIONS OF COMPLETE SECONDARY EDUCATION IN RIVNE

Reform of the urban and architectural complex in Ukraine leads to radical changes in the organization of network of public service institutions. Modern town-planning situation in Ukraine is complex. In the urban environment, especially in the Central areas of cities, the growth of the housing stock is carried out mainly by the sealing of existing buildings. As a result, the building structure is modified, disrupted the norm not the provision of public service institutions, especially institutions of ed-ucation. In Ukraine, in particular in Rivne, particularly acute problem of providing institutions of upper secondary education, the construction of new residential neigh-borhoods and apartment complexes that negatively affects the occupancy rate, ranges service, mobility and other urban parameters of already existing institutions. The arti-cle considers the condition of the institutions of upper secondary education in the city and in the whole Ukraine. Characterized by problems in the functioning of the exist-ing material-spatial environment of institutions of upper secondary education. Ana-lyzed the institution's modern requirements for the main groups of factors and their influence on the comfortable living conditions of the inhabitants and their mobility. In modern demographic situation and of the reform of upper secondary education studied the security of residents of Rivne institutions of upper secondary education. The basic problems of architectural and urban planning solutions. The optimal num-ber of required training places in educational institutions of secondary education. The analysis of provision in institutions of secondary education of all districts, and espe-cially new residential complexes Rivne, their condition and compliance with current requirements and planning rules. Recommendations for the organization of the insti-tutions of upper secondary education for new residential developments in the city of Rivne in compliance with the basic urban planning requirements.

Spatial peculiarities of social networking services distribution in Rivnenska oblast

Social networking services are a modern phenomenon in the field of human relations. As differentiated from western science, the issue of SNS spatial distribution is not a matter of high concern in Ukrainian researchers because of a number of objective and subjective reasons. The main task of the research is to analyze the spatial distribution of the amount of users and the penetration level of social networking services such as Facebook and Instagram in administrative districts and cities of region subordination belonging to Rivnenska oblast. Facebook is the most popular social networking service in Rivnenska oblast. There is a trend towards concentration of users' accounts in big cities: Rivne City, Dubno City, Varash City. More than 70% of users of the oblast live in the cities of oblast subordination and 58.4% of accounts are concentrated in Rivne City which is also the regional center. T. Hägerstrand's Spatial Innovation Diffusion Theory has been proved – the largest cities of the oblast are regional innovation centers. Densely populated Sarnenskyi, Bereznivskyi, and Kostopilskyi districts are distinguished among the districts. Facebook is the least used in Dubenskyi, Rivnenskуі, Ostrozkyi, Zarichnenskyi, Demydivskyi, Hoshchanskyi districts. The penetration rate of the social networking service Facebook in the oblast is 32.7% (in Ukraine – 31.0%). The highest level is in cities of oblast subordination. Rivne City and Dubno City are particularly distinguished. High levels of penetration are achieved due to the high development of technical infrastructure, through the companies' and shops' accounts, as well as accounts of residents from surrounding villages. The relatively low penetration rate in Varash City, the second largest city of Rivne oblast due to population, can be explained by the weaker connections with the surrounding area. In administrative districts, the penetration rate is much lower. A relatively high percentage of users are in Radyvylivskyi, Bereznivskyi, Kostopilskyi districts. These districts are characterized by a high level of socio-economic development and convenient socio-geographical location. The lowest level of penetration of the social networking service is in Demydivskyi, Zarichnenskyi, Hoshchanskyi districts. These are little developed and depressed territories within the oblast. The second most popular social networking service in Rivnenska oblast is Instagram (26.3% penetration rate). In terms of development, it is inferior to Facebook, and its main users are mostly young people. In the spatial distribution of Instagram users, we can trace the same trends as the Facebook. In general, the distribution of social networking services such as Facebook and Instagram in Rivnenska oblast corresponds to a hierarchical model of spatial diffusion. There is a trend towards concentration of users in big cities.

ГЕОПРОСТОРОВИЙ АНАЛІЗ РОЗВИТКУ ІНДУСТРІЇ ЗАСОБІВ РОЗМІЩЕННЯ ТУРИСТІВ У РІВНЕНСЬКІЙ ОБЛАСТІ

The aim is to analyze the development of the industry of accommodation of tourists in Rivne region in space and time. Method. The method of research of the industry of means of accommodation of tourists is used. The analysis of hotels by their number, capacity and number of beds; the number of specialized accommodation facilities for tourists and persons staying in institutions and the regional provision of farmsteads were revealed. The system-structural approach, method of generalization and abstraction, economic-static and graphic methods are applied. Regional statistics and reports of relevant agencies were processed. Results. The regional aspects of hotel development as a means of accommodation of tourists in Rivne region are studied, the number and capacity of establishments are estimated. As of 2017, there are 43 units in the region. Most hotels are concentrated within the city of Rivne and Rivne district. In the dynamics we observe an increase in the number of hotel establishments. In 2017, the capacity of hotels in the region decreased by 1.5 times, compared to 2010. We analyzed the health facilities of the region, which are undergoing significant transformations. The number of sanatoriums has decreased to 9 by 2015 and remains unchanged until now. This testifies to the crisis-stagnation phenomena in the sanatorium-resort sphere of the region. The number of people using the services of health resorts is decreasing. In the structure of the tourist accommodation industry an important place belongs to agro-villages. There were 60 rural estates in the region, which are considered as private accommodation for tourists. Most within the territories of Bereznivsky, Demydivsky and Zarichnensky districts, which are characterized by high natural resource potential. To increase the demand for accommodation for tourists in the region will help create a highly profitable tourism sector, able to produce and sell quality, competitive in the tourist market. Scientific novelty. The geographical and chronological aspects of the tourist accommodation industry of the studied region are revealed. Hotels and similar means of accommodation of tourists, specialized establishments as a part of sanatoria and camps of rest and a farmstead are systematically analyzed on an example of the Rivne area. Practical significance. The results of the work reveal the level and state of providing the Rivne region with accommodation facilities for tourists. Can be used in the preparation of regional socio-economic development programs. To be used in the development of possible recommendations for improving and justifying management decisions in the tourism industry on the example of regions.

Radon exposure and lung cancer: analysis of risk for residents of Rivne City (Ukraine)

The comparison of complex epidemiological (cohort, case-control and ecological) studies of Radon influence on incidence of lung cancer among mining populations of world mines and residents of the city of Rivne was conducted. The calculation of additional relative risk for the residents of the city of Rivne by the method of epidemiological ecological studies performed on radiometric equipment AlfaRad+and calculated according to the BEIR VI risk model in two variants: exposure-age-duration (EAD) and exposure -age-concentration (EAC) was conducted. The values of the risk coefficients of the dependencies of the relative risk on Radon exposure we obtained for residents of Rivne are lower than the ones obtained for miners (according to literature) – 0.31 (EAD) and 0.49 (EAC) per 100 WLM for volumetric activity (VA) of Radon in housing 200 Bq/m3 and 1420 Bq/m3. The thesis about the impossibility of automatically applying the obtained dependencies of additional relative risk of lung cancer on exposure to Radon for miners to the general population according to the variants of risk models proposed in BEIR VI was verified.

Features of Economic Socialization of Children with Disabilities

The article deals with the problems of economic socialization of children with disabilities, adaptation of such children, realization of their life chances, opportunities for self-realization in spite of low efficiency of corrective socio-educational technologies’ implementation. The study revealed the peculiarities and differences in the rates of economic socialization of children with disabilities and physically healthy children, which are conditioned by the circumstances of life and the features of individual psychological and group characteristics of these groups of children. The ways, organizational forms and conditions that allow the inclusion of a disabled child in economic relations are identified; complex diagnostic tools were developed and tested to study the external and internal factors of economic socialization of children with disabilities. In the process of specially organized activity, which includes elements of economic knowledge, self-knowledge, value analysis and real practical actions, it is possible to promote enrichment of values and formation of elements of intrinsic motivation for the economic activity of the child. The effectiveness of the implementation of the developed program of direct and indirect influence on the development of economic ideas and economic behavior using the example of the Department of Early Social Rehabilitation of Children with Disabilities of the Center of Social Assistance and Rehabilitation of the Disabled Turbota in Berdiansk, Rivne Educational and Rehabilitation Center Special Child of Rivne City Council has been experimentally proved; it was included in the curricula of Berdiansk State Pedagogical University.

Risks posed by Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden in the Rivne region

Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden of Caucasian origin is the most dangerous plant for the environment, geosystems, farming and public health. The sap of H. sosnowskyi, its pollen, scent and even dew are dangerous for human health and cause chemical burns, allergic reactions and even deaths. Works on the negative impact of the H. sosnowskyi spread have been published in Ukraine only recently. A more detailed study of H. sosnowskyi is possible only through inspections of each region in Ukraine, which would allow to predict the intensity, rate, frequency and area of phytocoenotic changes, as well as to provide data for cartograms. In the Rivne region, H. sosnowskyi overcomes geographical, ecological, reproductive and coenotic barriers, forms a large number of offspring, massively and rapidly spreads over considerable distances of the studied territory, establishing in anthropogenic and natural coenoses. The dense river network, sufficient moisture, mild climate and the decline of agriculture have created favourable conditions for the spread of H. sosnowskyi. Populations of H. sosnowskyi in the Rivne region have an uneven distribution. The southern part of the oblast has the highest concentration of H. sosnowskyi populations was not found in only three northern districts of the Rivne region. This can be explained by the poor quality of soil. In the central part of the region, the highest concentration of H. sosnowskyi populations was found in the southern and western parts of the city of Rivne. The presence of a large number of springs, rivers and the relief of the Rivne region does not allow the use of chemical plant control methods, as this can lead to significant contamination with herbicides. The most effective method is systematic cutting of shoots prior to flowering and trimming at the root collar.

Evaluation of ecological and genetic condition of Rivne city for Micronucleus Test

Bioindication evaluation of air condition in the city of Rivne has been carried out using the micronucleus (MN) test on the oral mucous in under-school-age children. The highest maximum values of MN indices were determined for children who live in the studied test ranges, where the content of CO (carbon oxide) exceeds the maximum permissible concentration. Cytogenetic indicators vary in a wide range of numerical values; moreover, the level of cytogenetic damage is an informative bioindicational feature. With the monitoring purpose, the researched urban area of Rivne was divided into 12 test ranges with different anthropogenic load; a number of large and small manufacturing firms are situated there. The analysis of statistical and analytical data on the traffic intensity in the city was conducted. The study was also based on the analysis of personal researches, obtained through a comprehensive survey carried out on 167 children in 12 test ranges in 12 preschools, the average age of children was 6-7 years. A total of 64,950 mucosal epithelial cells were explored. It has been shown that the deterioration of ecological and genetic conditions of the urban environment in test ranges I, II, VI, VII, VIII, XI based on the cell damage level was below average, the condition of the children's organism was alarming but the state of the environment has changed from “excellent” to “satisfactory”. This kind of research can enable observations of the mutagenic background of regions, genetic health, and genetic threats to humans due to harmful factors.

Дослідження якості надання медичних послуг населенню Львівської, Волинської та Рівненської областей

Aim. A comparison of indicators of quality of medical services provision to the population of Lviv, Volyn and Rivne Regions.  Material and Methods. The research summarized the key results of the socio-psychological study "Current state of quality of provision of medical services", implemented in three regions: Lviv, Volyn, and Rivne, which was carried out by the method of a selective anonymous questionnaire survey of 1270 patients who applied for medical care in outpatient institutions of three Ukrainian cities: the city of Lviv (397 respondents), the city of Lutsk (467 respondents) and the city of  Rivne (406 respondents). The analysis of the results of the survey was conducted using the statistical method by calculating relative values and their mean error (Р±mр,%). Results and Discussion. During the course of the work, it was found that among the population of above mentioned regions there was a significant share of individuals who did not choose a family (treating) doctor. More than one third of the surveyed were dissatisfied with the quality of medical service in medical institutions, regardless of area of residence; about one-fifth of patients financially rewarded doctors. One of the most important problems among the questioned was the inaccessibility of medications in all three regions; particularly, the absence of national analogues forced the patients to use drugs delivered from abroad.  Conclusions. There exist certain faults in organizing the reform campaign, particularly in clarifying the reforms among the population. Special attention should be paid to the categories of working individuals in the context of reforming the medical branch that would allow implementing measures for the prevention of diseases more effectively.&nbsp

ОБҐРУНТУВАННЯ РОЗВИТКУ НОВОЇ ДЕСТИНАЦІЇ ПИВНОГО ТУРИЗМУ В УКРАЇНІ

The article examines the preconditions for organizing one of the types of thematic gastronomic tourism in Ukraine - beer tourism. A project for the development of a new destination for beer tourism in the city of Rivne on the basis of the Rivne Brewery has been developed. The conceptual bases of the strategy of development of this destination were presented. It is proposed to create a Museum of the History of Beer «Rivenʹ». The institution will be designed for a wide range of visitors - from students who study the history of their native land and get acquainted with the technology of production, to the elderly who like a quiet holiday with friends. We have provided proposals for the formation of marketing and branding policy of a new destination for beer tourism. In the future, tourists are expected to get acquainted with the history, production technology and culture of beer consumption, tasting it directly from the producer. In fact, the project plans to organize a cultural and leisure center in the historic part of Rivne. We have offered a competitive tourist product to the market.

Complex ecological estimation of natural and manmade complexes which basis on MIPS- and risk analysis

The article provides an algorithmic support which determines the ecological level of systems of natural environment and processes in it. The given algorithmic support allows identifying negative factors disturbing the homeostasis of man-made complexes, and provides complex ecological quality assessment of man-made objects. Using the proposed algorithm of the quality assessment of a complicated system-systematic formation based on MIPS-numbers, risk-characteristic as to the conditions of objects and processes connected with ecological state disturbance, we have received a complex assessment of the studied territory (hard domestic waste landfill (HDWL) in Kharkiv region (the town of Dergachi) and Rivne city(Ukraine), with the pressure indices and ecological security destabilization processes being estimated. The calculations at the given territories have shown the following results: by the activity of chemical influence on the water systems according to the standards of conditions, the environmental risk on Dergachi and Rivne HDWL was determined as acceptable; chlorides were recognised as a destabilizing factor. The investigation involving the complex ecological assessment methodology on the level of system objects allows taking into account the transformation processes of ecological safety destabilization when determining the situation safety level based on the results of monitoring the balance violation factors, which gives the grounds for creating a complex mechanism for quality management of anthropogenic territories.
