The article examines the image of the Brest region through the prism of the linguistic consciousness of the inhabitants of the Brest region. Methodology and sources. The theoretical basis of this study was the work of domestic and foreign scientists in the field of linguistic research methods (A.A. Zalevskaya, N.I. Kurganova, A.V. Rudakova, O.N. Seliverstova, I.A. Sternin, N.V. Akovantsev, etc.), psycholinguistics and linguistic consciousness (E.I. Goroshko, A.A. Zalevskaya, L.O. Butakova, Yu.N. Karaulov, A.A. Leontiev, A.P. Klimenko, Z.D. Popova, I.A. Sternin, E.F. Tarasov, N.V. Ufimtseva, etc.). The study was carried out within the framework of the project “Brest region through the eyes of people of different professions” together with the main department of ideological work and youth affairs of the Brest Regional Executive Committee. The research material was 1062 associations obtained during a free association experiment, in which 400 representatives of the cultural sphere took part. Results and discussion. During the association experiment, the free association technique was used. In the questionnaires, respondents were asked to write 3–5 associations for the stimulus phrase “Brest region” within a limited time period. Based on the obtained associative reactions, an associative field was formed and 9 thematic groups were identified. Based on the ranking of thematic groups in accordance with quantitative data, layers in the cognitive structure of the image of the Brest region are identified. Conclusion. An association experiment is the most effective method that allows us to identify the attitude of residents of a region to the surrounding reality. This attitude is expressed by linguistic means and reflects the understanding of the world, its conceptualization, as well as the strategy of communication and verbal existence of the individual.

Protecting urban memory helps maintain the city’s authentic historical character and enhances its sense of belonging. This paper systematically collects and organizes research materials on urban memory planning from both domestic and international sources, categorizes and analyzes the relevant literature, and reviews the perspectives, content, methods, and planning practices in urban memory research worldwide. By summarizing these research experiences, the paper aims to deepen the understanding of urban memory theory and offer new recommendations for renewal planning practices guided by urban memory.

UNOFFICIAL PLACE NAMES AND MINOR PLACE NAMES AS MARKERS OF URBAN IDENTITY

The article examines unoffi cial or folk place names and minor place names in Chelyabinsk residents’ speech as a means of representing their identity. Based on the comments of the Internet portal 74.ru users, unofficial names of Chelyabinsk toponymic objects were revealed, their main functions were defi ned, word-building means used in the formation of folk place names and minor place names including suffi xation, abbreviation and acronymy were analyzed. The analysis of the empirical material showed that suffi xation is characteristic mainly of unoffi cial godonyms, abbreviations are frequently found in unoffi cial names of cities, districts and derivatives of generalized folk names of the residents. Abbreviation in folk place names and minor place names is used without their mea-ning transformation, while suffi xation and reduction are often applied to form emotive unoffi cial place names and minor place names with negative connotations. Chelyabinsk unoffi cial minor place names are characterized by transonymization and partial or complete deheroization of offi cial commemorative names. Folk place names refl ect creativity of the portal users, actualize the opposition "our own" — "foreign", the recognition and suffi cient fi xa-tion of unoffi cial place names and minor place names in the linguistic consciousness of Chelyabinsk residents and mainly the negative attitude to the urban landscape in general.

The State of Education in Kyrgyzstan at the End of the XIX Beginning of the XX Century

This article examines the situation of education at the end of the XlX-beginning of the 20th century in Kyrgyzstan. It describes the methods and ways of education in Kyrgyzstan before the Soviet era, as well as the types of schools and educational institutions. It is known from history that Kyrgyz from ancient times were a people striving for knowledge. With the accession of Kyrgyzstan to Russia, the relationship between the Muslim and Turkic peoples living there intensified, the works of Kyrgyz scientists and historians began to be published. Based on this, it is said that the number of schools, educational institutions, madrasas, as well as the number of students and educated people has increased in Kyrgyzstan. At the end of the XlX-beginning of the 20th century, state educational institutions were opened for the Turkic peoples of the Volga region, the Caucasus and Central Asia. This contributed to the management of a new method of education. The programs of these schools were developed in 1905-1906 at a congress of Muslims in the city of Nizhny Novgorod. In such schools, not only religious classes were held, but also general education classes. In 1901-1902, Russian-native schools of a new type began to appear in Kyrgyzstan. Representatives of the new type of education Jadidists who criticized religious schools with old methods of education, tried to change the general school system in accordance with the requirements of that time. Through these schools, the Muslim population of Russia, including Kyrgyz, began to get acquainted with European civilization. Later, graduates of these schools subsequently formed the basis of the leading intelligentsia of Kyrgyzstan. The article studied some aspects of the organization of a new type of school, the subjects taught were fully consistent with religious beliefs, the national mentality, which positively led to the consciousness of local residents. The features of educational institutions in Kyrgyzstan, the role and importance of educating the younger generation, along with the formation of pre-existing religious madrasah schools and writing culture, were analyzed. The influence along with enlightenment work, knowledge and culture of other peoples and indigenous people, their place and significance before Soviet power were studied. A comprehensive study of the history and culture of Kyrgyzstan on a scientific basis was carried out in the second half of the XlX century.

As for specific measures, enhancement of economic support system such as expansion of support system for cashable welfare for the elderly and discover of subsidy support by Goesan-gun are also considered necessary. In addition, support system for independence of the elderly for supplementation of elderly employment and social activities must be enhanced by expanding resident participatory protection system for disadvantaged elderly and vulnerable social groups, and psychological support system for local residents shall also be reorganized by installing a suicide prevention as an affiliated institution. Additionally, the budget must be increased to the average level of local governments across the country by expanding social welfare and health service budget of Goesan-gun, and improvement of infrastructure and system for establishing a social safety net which is indispensible for preventing suicide of the elderly must also be carried out positively through the aforementioned.

Patriotic discourse in the publications of humanities scientists of the Republic of Dagestan

The article presents the results of a review of publications in scientific periodicals on the topic of patriotism, written by authors from the Republic of Dagestan who are specialists in the fields of humanities and social sciences. It is noted that the scientific discourse on patriotism is primarily developed in the republic by social philosophers, educators and sociologists. Most authors of the examined publications understand patriotism as a unifying idea aimed at uniting Russians based on the constitutional principle of equality of all citizens, regardless of their regions of residence, ethnic and religious backgrounds. The issue of patriotism itself is closely linked by the authors to the formation and strengthening of the all-Russian identity. Accordingly, the main problem aspects of the patriotic discourse in Russia, as seen by Dagestani authors, include questions of inclusivity within the modern Russian nation, the ability of the concept of the Russian nation to encompass and embrace the diversity of regional, ethno-cultural, and religious identities of Russians. According to the philosophical authors, the development of patriotic discourse in the public sphere should contribute to the introduction of such fundamental values as humanism, citizenship, statism, social justice, ethnic and religious tolerance, a high standard of living, pride in the country, its history, achievements in various spheres of life, and high culture into the mass consciousness of Russian youth. In the works of Dagestani sociologists, within the framework of the patriotic theme, the subjects of research include patriotic attitudes in the mass consciousness of Dagestan's residents, the relationship between civil, regional, ethnic, and religious identities in the context of the influence of both unifying and divisive factors, including various versions of radical Islamism, regionalism, and ethnic nationalism. Recent thematic publications indicate an increased level of activity by government authorities and the public in Dagestan in the patriotic education of the republic's youth. However, alongside the promotion of patriotism, efforts should also be directed towards improving the quality of life for the country's population.

E-Waste Recycling Behavior in the United Arab Emirates: Investigating the Roles of Environmental Consciousness, Cost, and Infrastructure Support

This study examines whether consumers’ behavior affects e-waste recycling in the UAE. This paper provides a theoretical model of e-waste recycling behavior based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), and it goes on to analyze the impact of environmental consciousness, infrastructural support, and costs in e-waste recycling. To assess this study’s constructs, a survey instrument is created. The theoretical model is tested using data gathered from a survey of UAE residents. PLS-SEM (partial least squares structural equations modeling) is used to assess the data. The results support the use of the TPB in the e-waste recycling behavior context. Furthermore, this study shows intriguing findings regarding the effect of environmental consciousness, perceived infrastructural support, and the cost of e-waste recycling. Environmental consciousness shows a positive moderation effect on the association between e-waste recycling attitudes and intentions. This finding implies that the environmental consciousness of residents should be increased to translate e-waste recycling intentions into behavior. Environmental consciousness can be enhanced through training programs. Furthermore, special sustainability courses in higher education that focus on improving environmental awareness among students will have a lasting impact. This study supports the positive moderation effect of perceived infrastructure support on the association between recycling intentions and behavior.

Categorizing the behavior and values of detached housing residents related to obtaining warmth

AbstractThe categoraization employed for Kyoto residents' consciousness, values, and physical constitution described in the previous report was also applied to Hiroshima and Aichi, and the validity of the categoraization was confirmed. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) The questions on the residents' consciousness, values, and physical constitution were highly independent, and the first principal component, “the importance of values, such as environmental protection, traditions, and seasonality,” and the second component, “tolerance/patience with cold weather,” were found to be applicable to Hiroshima and Aichi, as well as to Kyoto. (2) The two principal components were used to categorize residents into four groups in each of the study areas, and the characteristics of each group were reviewed. Trends in the three areas were similar, but there were also trends unique to Hiroshima and Aichi, where consciousness and values prioritizing the environment and nature conservation were observed. (3) We consider that observing environmental regulation behavior with a focus on the consciousness, values, and physical constitution of residents may provide clues to understanding the diversity of living styles. This leads to the identification of individual differences in adaptive behavior toward the thermal environment.

A STUDY ON THE SUCCESS FACTORS OF LANDSCAPE PLANNING WITH WATERWAY IN KANEYAMA TOWN, MOGAMI DISTRICT, YAMAGATA PREFECTURE

Kaneyama Town pioneered the success of landscape town planning only with the voluntary ordinance. We surveyed the actual condition of the waterway network in Kaneyama Town. In addition, we grasped the process of waterway development. As a result, the waterway network consisted of two water systems. There were “Irimizu” in some places. The waterways were open ditch because it was used for snow flow. It was able to confirm the consciousness of residents that don’t pollute the downstream of the water. In addition, unique efforts such as the “Kanayama-type housing” system led to the formation of today’s landscape.

Unofficial toponyms in the linguistic consciousness of Yaroslavl residents: estimated component

The experiment is one of the effective ways to study the semantics of unofficial toponyms in the linguistic consciousness. The article presents a psycholinguistic description of unofficial toponyms of Yaroslavl. The toponyms is based on associative fields. We mean that unofficial toponyms are lexemes which are not fixed in dictionaries. In urban speech these toponyms have unofficial names of geographical objects. For the study, we chose two unofficial toponyms: Pyaterka and Bragino. Based on the results of free and directed associative experiments, we have formed associative fields of the corresponding toponyms. All the reactions received were divided into semantic groups. We compared semantic zones and evaluative reactions. This allowed us to identify the degree of mastery and peculiarities of the perception of unofficial toponyms by the linguistic consciousness of Yaroslavl residents. The following semantic zones were identified in the associative field obtained as a result of a directed associative experiment. These zones complement the zones of free associative experiment: "Spatial aspect", "Anthropological aspect", "Urban aspect", "Subjective-emotional aspect", "Visual aspect". On the one hand, the use of various experiments makes it possible to verify the data obtained, and on the other hand, it helps to significantly expand the semantics of the associative field, including identifying the evaluative component.

Construction and Evaluation of a Safe Community Evaluation Index System-A Study of Urban China.

A community is the basic unit of a city. Scientific and effective evaluations of the construction effect of safe communities can improve the construction capacity of community disaster prevention and mitigation; it is also the basis for improving urban public safety and realizing stable and sustainable urban operation. First, following the development framework of a safe community and taking two typical communities in Xi’an, China, as examples, based on the literature and expert opinions, the initial indicators of a safe community are determined. Second, based on existing data, the literature and expert opinions, a questionnaire is designed, and the reliability and validity of the questionnaire are tested by exploratory factor analysis. Third, the indicators for evaluating the construction ability of a safe community are selected. Finally, an evaluation model of the construction ability of safe communities is constructed by using the comprehensive weighting technique for order of preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS), which is applied to the actual evaluation of eighteen representative communities in Xi’an. The main findings are as follows. (1) The sense of community security is the collective consciousness of community residents. It includes not only the security and feelings of community residents themselves, but also the cognition of the impact of social policies at the macro and micro-levels on community residents, their families, and even the whole community. (2) From the three levels of consciousness, technology, and policy as the starting points for the construction of the theoretical model of a safe community, organizational resilience, accessibility resilience, social environmental resilience, and capital resilience are found to be the main influencing factors in the construction of a safe community. (3) Using questionnaires and expert interviews to preliminarily screen evaluation indicators and using the comprehensive weighting TOPSIS method to build an evaluation model can effectively avoid the defects of traditional empirical research on the validity and reliability of methods. (4) The ranking of the eighteen representative communities in the empirical analysis is basically consistent with the selection results of the national comprehensive disaster reduction demonstration community, which indicates the effectiveness and accuracy of the indicators and algorithms.

АНАЛИЗ ЗАРУБЕЖНОГО ОПЫТА ВОДОСБЕРЕГАЮЩЕГО ПРОЕКТИРОВАНИЯ ГОРОДСКИХ ТЕРРИТОРИЙ

Due to the acute problem of climate change around the world and the current environmental awareness of global communities, rainwater is beginning to be seen not as a waste product that requires a large investment, but as a valuable and necessary resource for cities. This study provides an analysis of the world's experience in storm water management and its impact on the urban environment. The authors consider new approaches to storm water management, based on the fact that storm water is a resource with social, environmental, and economic opportunities. It is revealed that storm water management is aimed to eliminate the negative consequences for the environment and humans due to illiterate management of surface runoff. The article provides some examples of how storm water management affects the protection of cities and settlements from flooding, has a positive impact on water quality management, and significantly contributes to improving the aesthetic appeal of the urban environment. The authors have identified the need to expand the use of water-saving design technologies in the urban planning practice of cities and settlements in Russia. Also, the need to develop measures to ensure environmental safety and educate the ecological consciousness of urban residents was revealed.

Green development growth momentum under carbon neutrality scenario

With the general recognition of the awareness of carbon neutrality, economic development growth momentum for carbon neutrality scenario has become research focus. This paper introduces the carbon neutrality double input level based on the perspective of the initiative, consciousness, and self-discipline of firms and residents to practice green low-carbon behavior. By constructing a balanced economic system of green low-carbon behavior, this paper explores the new endogenous growth power in production and consumption, and finds that there exists a carbon neutrality realization regulation of green low-carbon behavior in the new system. Based on the penetration capacity of green low-carbon behavior, this paper studies the endogenous growth law of economic system driven by the evolution of carbon neutrality double input level. The production and consumption processes are considered in the new economic system in this paper, the production of green low-carbon goods is considered in the production sector and the technical equation under carbon neutrality double input level is studied, the consumption process of green goods affected by environment and carbon emissions is considered in the household, then the household utility function is constructed, and the new growth rate is obtained. Using carbon emissions growth rate of green low-carbon goods and its relationship with absorption rate derive the carbon neutrality realization regulation. Then the general equilibrium solution and growth rate under endogenous growth driven by carbon neutrality double input level are also obtained. Furthermore, the carbon neutrality effects which are the endogenous effect of carbon neutrality double input level and the effect of carbon neutrality realization regulation are obtained by numerical simulation and empirical analysis.
