Full textAbstract:
In this paper, Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved (1987) will be considered from the point of view of developmental psychology. Morrison’s works can be seen as representing an intertwinement of social, historico-political and emotional themes which play a crucial role in the identity construction of the author’s characters. Therefore, the Ecological Systems Theory proposed by Urie Bronfenbrenner will be employed to closely examine how the identities of Morrison’s characters are being shaped in the novel. The usage of the five systems on which Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model is based– chronosystem, macrosystem, exosystem, mesosystem and microsystem, will provide an often missing holistic approach necessary for better understanding of how and why Morrison’s characters are (un)able to complete their developmental journey of identity construction successfully.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A systematic review of elder family financial exploitation (EFFE) literature from the past five years reflects limited use or consensus of theoretical perspectives. In this paper, we propose using Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Theory to frame the dynamic, interrelated factors associated with EFFE. Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Theory, specifically the PPCT model includes Proximal processes, Person characteristics, Contextual systems, and Time. Proximal processes are increasingly complex interactions between individuals (e.g., family communication). Person characteristics include demand (e.g., gender, age), resource (e.g., education), and force (e.g., temperament) characteristics affecting interactions. Contextual levels drawn from Bronfenbrenner’s original model (e.g., micro, meso, exo, and macro) emphasize the effect of interrelated systems on development. T refers to Time, including changes occurring in time (e.g., longitudinal) and over time (e.g., historical). Collectively, the PPCT model provides a framework for understanding the iterative, complex factors linked to EFFE.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. The purpose of this article is to propose a solution for conflict resolution in a bioecological system. Background. In 1979, Bronfenbrenner introduced his bioecological theory of human development which suggested that children are immersed in four integrated systems that affect student behavior and success in public schools. More than thirty years later, the bioecological system has experienced several changes, most notably in the structure of the family and changes in the culture. Conflict can lead to tragedy but intervention programs have seen some success when any one of the four systems is positively affected. Winning Colors® can be an effective tool to teach conflict resolution and communication leading to situational leadership, team building, conflict resolution, and improved communication in any inter-personal situation. Winning Colors® uses four color cards with corresponding behavior strengths that can be understood by children and adults in a short period. Aim. In this article, we explain how Winning Colors® program that has been used to teach conflict resolution and communication to thousands of learners. Conclusion. Winning Colors® can be implemented to teach conflict resolution and communication across the bioecological system.

The article consists of four parts. The first contains the characteristics of communal Strategies for solving social problems. It includes a discussion of the fundamental assumptions and functions of the types of strategies which play a part in social policy – with particular emphasis on the needs and situation of people with disabilities. The second part of study introduces the most important assumptions of the bioecological theory of Urie Bronfenbrenner’s systems. Through the prism of this theory, research material has been collected and ordered. The merits of the study are captured in the part three. In its scope, it includes tabular systems ordered in accordance with the assumptions of the bio-ecological system theory, containing records and the resulting activities implemented by communes for the social inclusion of people with disabilities. The whole text ends with the conclusions presented in the fourth part. The purpose of the study is a qualitative analysis of the Strategy for solving social problems of communes that are part of the Żywiec and Cieszyn counties. It will make it possible to recognize records and the resulting inclusion activities for people with disabilities. The purpose is also to consider these entries based on the bioecological theory of Urie Bronfenbrenner’s systems and recognition what levels distinguished in the theory mentioned above are present in strategies and what actions result from them. This will also allow for partial verification of the role taken by municipalities – the smallest local government units in creating a culture of inclusion and a friendly space for people with disabilities.

This article spotlights the transformation of a kindergarten classroom culture as told through the story of selecting and naming a class pet, emphasizing the teacher’s understanding of children’s ways of knowing and the role of trust in building an inclusive and equitable classroom environment. Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory serves as a lens in understanding the teacher’s efforts to build a culture respectful of each individual child, the group as it formed, and class’s identity in the broader learning community. The seemingly simple story is considered through the concept of rich normality, which recognizes the potential of everyday moments and experiences.

SYSTEMIC ANAMNESIS IN CONTEMPORARY MEDICAL TRAINING: IN ADOLESCENT ATTENTIONABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to understand the perceptions of medical students about systemic anamnesis in contemporary medical education in view of the medical care of adolescents. It is considered that systemic thinking in the medical care of adolescents may indicate possibilities for discussion to improve the quality of contemporary medical education. It was a qualitative study carried out through a conversation wheel, methodological strategy that stimulates the construction of the autonomy of the subjects through the problematization and exchange of information for new learning. In this study, the systemic anamnesis was based on the perspective of Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Theory and the complex thinking of Edgar Morin for the comprehension understanding of adolescent care. Health is a multidimensional phenomenon, involving physical, psychological and social aspects, all related and interdependent. The study tentatively concluded that the greatest challenge of the third millennium lies in reforming thinking to act and connect two systems of thought: linear and systemic. Thus, we can think of a systemic anamnesis for contemporary medical education.Keywords: Contemporary medical training. Systemic anamnesis. Medical care of adolescents.

THIS PAPER PRESENTS A study on what it means to practise home–kindergarten partnership differently. Using Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory, this study draws on the narratives of six Chinese parents' successful involvement in home–kindergarten partnerships. Data was gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews with parents whose children attend three different kindergartens in Zhejiang, China. Narrative analysis was employed to analyse the data. Critical to the findings is the parents' willingness to grapple with initial complexities and educationally constructed borders and boundaries and to move beyond simplistic partnership with the kindergartens.

The difficulties faced by parolee in social reintegration process can make them resort back to crime or recidivist. However, if individuals can adapt positively, correctional clients can achieve resilient conditions, hence, easier for them to stay out from crime The purpose of this study was to determine the protective factors and risk factors that influence resilience of parolee during the social reintegration process using the perspective of Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory. This study was conducted on a sample of 131 adult parolee registered at Correctional Center Class I Surabaya. Data obtained using survey methods and using simple regression analysis methods. This study shows that the factors that influence resilience of parolee are factors that are in the microsystem layer, namely social support factors.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Ever since its beginnings, landscape ecology has been developing in two different directions: the bioecological and the geoecological. While the bioecological approach is focused on the relationship between organisms and their abiotic environment, the geoecological approach is based on the relationship between human society and its, primarily abiotic, environment. Therefore, the geoecological approach can be applied in planning human use of the environment in a long term sustainable manner, while the bioecological approach could represent the basis for the planning of conservational and environmental usage. The merging of these two approaches will result in a comprehensive and more holistic landscape ecology, which will thus gain the potential for coordinating interdisciplinary landscape research and a more prominent role in contributing to spatial planning. The merge will also enhance attempts to create a general theory of landscape systems.

Introduction The unique challenges to learning and participation in education associated with visual impairment are well documented in the literature, as is the importance of addressing these challenges through ensuring practitioners who support them are equipped with appropriate knowledge, understanding, and skills. We use a bioecological systems theory as a lens through which to examine the personnel preparation of vision specialist teachers to act as agents of change. We draw on the different teacher preparation programs for specialist teachers of learners with visual impairments in the United Kingdom to demonstrate how this theory can be applied. Methods We use a bounded case study to bring together the respective teacher preparation programs in the UK in order to demonstrate complementary characteristics of the theoretical model proposed. Results and discussion We argue that a bioecological systems theory offers a holistic framework for educators involved in personnel preparation to explicitly engage with vision specialist teachers in their role as potential agents of change. This preparation includes developing distinctive knowledge, understanding, and skills to facilitate learner participation in education through promoting “progressive” and “mutual” accommodation between the active learner and the changing learning environments in order to achieve successful outcomes. Implications for practitioners The article is original in applying a bioecological systems theory to the preparation of these specialist teachers, with a focus on their role as agents of change. We argue that it has significance, therefore, for practitioners and researchers concerned with the personnel preparation of other practitioners for learners with distinctive educational needs across national contexts and settings.

Full textAbstract:
Human development happens in nested sociological contexts [1,2]. With social-cognitive development, individuals become aware of their embeddedness in increasingly wider social contexts. As these contexts have a certain impact on one's life course, positioning in these contexts should occur in personal narratives. We tested whether this was reflected in life stories. In a longitudinal study with 3 measurement times covering 8 years and 6 age groups spanning life from age 8 to 70, we coded the occurrence of 4 different kinds of socio-historical contextualization of narrators’ lives according to Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory: family constellation implying one's microsystem, family history presenting the mesosystem, socioeconomic status referring to one's exosystem, and historical context representing the macrosystem. Contextualizations were coded in the initial parts of life narratives to check whether narrators put themselves retrospectively as infants in their early sociological context. Increasing percentage of the contextualisations indicate the development of an awareness of the individual belonging to society. Individuals’ awareness about their social context seems indeed to get increasingly wider throughout development according to Bronfenbrenner's social subsystems.

A framework that emphasizes and integrates individuals' intersubjective experiences with Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory (PVEST) is introduced and compared with self-organizational perspectives. Similarities, differences and advantages of each framework are described. In a demonstration of PVEST's utility, a subset of data from the 3rd year of a longitudinal study (14- to 16-year-old middle adolescent African–Americans) is used for examining an achievement variable: negative learning attitude. Explored separately by gender, a regression model that contained risk, stress, and a reactive coping variable for the prediction of negative learning attitudes was investigated. For boys, stress was an independent stressor across steps independent of the other variables entered; social support was particularly important for males. For girls, not only was stress not important but it was also only the social support variable, perceived unpopularity with peers, that was a significant predictor of girls' negative learning attitude. Particularly for boys, the findings suggest critically important roles for teachers and peers in the negative learning attitude of midadolescent economically disadvantaged African–American students.

From this point of view, the school mission can be an important tool in the process of strengthening students' sense of identification with the school.

Immigrant college student populations continue to grow, but the complexity of their unique needs and issues remain relatively unknown. To gain a better understanding of the multiple contextual factors impacting immigrant students from a systems-based approach, I applied Bronfenbrenner's (1977) human ecology framework to the study. Students interact with the environment, including exchanges with academic advisors, that influence student development, success, and retention. In this theory-based essay, I contend that the philosophy of a developmental ecology approach parallels the foundational tenets of developmental academic advising, mainly through an emphasis on context and working with the whole student. I offer strategies for practice and ideas for future application as well as use an adapted human-ecological model to illustrate immigrant issues.

Abstract Elder family financial exploitation (EFFE) is widespread and increasing. The effect is devastating, causing significant financial losses, reducing health and well-being of elders, and disrupting family systems. Research reveals that most (90%) perpetrators are family members or trusted others and researchers typically focus on identification of the problem, rather than understanding how and why exploitation occurs within the family unit. Furthermore, limited consensus exists regarding a theoretical understanding of the complexities of EFFE. Theory-driven, empirical explanations of how and why EFFE transpires are urgently needed to enhance and deepen intervention and prevention efforts. In this symposium, we extend both theory and research by using a common theoretical lens to present research findings from three distinct EFFE studies. The first paper reviews the current literature on EFFE and theory and introduces Bronfennbrenner’s bioecological Process-Person-Context-Time (PPCT) model as an under-utilized, but useful framework for understanding EFFE. The second paper reports on findings from in-depth interviews with non-perpetrator family members who experienced EFFE and will highlight complex intergenerational family systems processes in PPCT. The third paper highlights findings from a national study of substantiated and investigated cases of EFFE in which family member perpetrators were designated as surrogate decision makers. The fourth paper shares results from a qualitative study of family member POAs and how components of the PPCT model can be interpreted for use by helping professionals assisting families. We will also focus on the opportunities and challenges of developing theoretically sound EFFE research and the implications for improving practice and policy.

Full textAbstract:
The science of behavior in the search for objective laws and attempts to develop concepts that could explain normal and abnormal behavior, has gone through several stages of development - reflex, biheviorialnyy, ethological. These steps taken oppose each other, but we believe that each of them is the basis for further development.
In Ukraine, the famous ethologist was Professor of Kharkiv University Karazin AP Krapivny. His works are devoted to interspecies relations animals and bioecological aspects zoopsychology philosophical, mathematical analysis of complex behavior of animals. Kyiv National University. Shevchenko animal behavior and regulatory mechanisms mizhtvarynnyh relations actively exploring Podobaylo AV and VA Gorobchyshyna.
The current stage is characterized not only by the lack of a unified theory in ethology, but also the availability of interdisciplinary connections, especially with comparative psychology and neurophysiology. Modern ethology phase lasts quite a long time, and it sometimes distinguish different stages. A number of famous ethologist believe that since the mid 80s of last century ethology entered a new stage of its development - the stage of the so-called "broad ethology." It is characterized, in their opinion, no discipline regarding the consolidation of a theory of private conduct and interaction based on the existence of one ethological approach. Anthropologists, although limited to the study of primates, made a significant contribution to the development of modern science of animal behavior at all.
An important contribution to science made by psychiatrists, specialists in social psychology, veterinary doctors and employees of zoos and sanctuaries.
The ultimate goal of the study of animal behavior that determines the practical role of ethology, behavior management believe (L. Baskin). Theoretical bases of behavior management: the theory of hierarchical social behavior of animals exposed mechanisms ritualization (demonstrative behavior that prevents aggression), communication systems, mechanisms for organizing your social behavior. However, the right to use the patterns found for the modernization and industrial livestock farming is not possible. We have to solve many specific issues related to specific species, his reaction to domestication (domestication of animals) and welfare. It found a significant number of rather similar problems related laws and domestication synanthropization (adaptation of organisms to exist near the person), their impact on the environment and animal behavior
The development of animal husbandry is by creating new options for interaction of organisms with new physical and biological conditions. Excluding the effect of limiting factors, one introduces animals into new ecological niches. However, we are seeing with only weak changes in norms of reaction types. In most cases we are talking about the use of the existing range of standards reactions. Changing behaviors people use natural mechanisms to ensure lability behavior: simple recombination of elements within the complex, developing new responses to stimuli. Translating animals in the new environment, every time we have to review all aspects of their integrated behavior, creating the need for adequate reaction and eliminating unsuitable to the new conditions.
In general, we can talk about a special field of research - Applied Ethology, in front of which are the following problems:
Creation of an integrated model of behavior animals in artificial environments. Development ethological aspects neoevolyutsiyi (domestication and synanthropization).
Delimitation variability coherent behavior and its elements in species important to the economy and development of methods of purposeful formation behavior.
Study and use patterns of behavior in vitro livestock facilities, livestock grazing and intensive industrial economy.
Conclusion
The evolution of ideas about the "mind" of animals and establishment of basic concepts of thinking (mental activity) animals and its effect was found in various areas of behavior over time. At all stages of the development of science questions the presence of mind in animals, its degree of development and role of psychology and behavior were mixed.
The current stage of development of ethology characterized not only by the lack of a unified theory, but also the availability of connections, especially from comparative psychology and neurophysiology.
Great contribution to the major trends of experimental and comparative approaches to the study of higher mental functions such animals have researchers like Pavlov.

Using Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory, this study investigated the school experiences of nine high-ability students from three secondary schools in rural Western India. Analyses of semistructured interviews revealed several interconnected systems of influences on the school experiences of participants. Intrapersonal aspects such as positive academic self-perceptions, constant pursuit for academic excellence, and mixed feelings about being formally identified as gifted directly affected school experiences. In the participants’ immediate environment, school aspects such as teacher–student relationships, teaching methods, and curricular content had the most prominent influence on their school experiences. Interactions between family and the school systems had direct and mixed influences on participants’ school experiences. Besides the adversities of rural education, participants emphasized the unique strengths of rural settings in India including the role of extended families, strong rural attachment, and positive relationships with school, teachers, and community that positively contributed to their school experiences. Implications for rural gifted education in India are discussed.

The paper represents an overview of the developmental line of J. Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological theory and its key characteristics in each developmental phase. It took three decades from the first integral representation of this theory to its mature form. That line is marked by an essential shift from the ecological to bioecological concept of human development. If we pretend to conduct a biecological valid research, it is very important to learn about teh development of this theory, even more since it is very often conceptualized as only ecological, without using its revised and complete version in research. The analysts of the Bronfenbrenner theory recognized only a few researche, among all that are declarative based on bioecological theory, that really uses bioecological “PPCT“ model as the research design. The need for this kind of overview of this “theory in development“ is highlighted more by the fact that in our region is available the very first, ecological version of the Bronfenbrenner's theory (1997, Екологија људског развоја).

Full textAbstract:
This study delves into emic perceptions of Chinese international doctoral students’ navigation of a disrupted study trajectory during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with students and the conceptual framework of bioecological systems theory and needs-response agency, the article reveals a nuanced picture of how activities, relations and roles nested in a PhD study trajectory are impacted by and respond to the crisis. Specifically, the pandemic has instigated a ripple effect upon PhD study that is embedded within a complex system of person−environment factors in the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem and macrosystem. Confronting these changes and challenges, the students enact needs−response agency to cope with these impacts so as to restore stability. The study concludes with some practical implications for related stakeholders in the bioecological system to generate conditions and support for students to harness possibilities for growth amidst and beyond the health crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Negative symptoms are a core feature of schizophrenia that has been linked to numerous poor clinical outcomes. Although person-level mechanisms have been identified for negative symptoms, psychosocial and pharmacological treatments targeting these mechanisms have been ineffective. The current theoretical paper proposes that limited treatment progress may result in part from a failure to identify and target environmental processes that cause and maintain negative symptoms.Methods: A novel theoretical model is outlined, called the bioecosystem theory of negative symptoms, that offers a conceptual framework for studying interactions among environmental systems and person-related biological and psychosocial factors.Results: Relying on Bronfenbrenner's developmental theory as an organizing framework, four interactive environmental systems are proposed to be critical for the genesis and maintenance of negative symptoms: (1) Microsystem: the immediate environment; (2) Mesosystem: the interactions among microsystems; (3) Exosystem: indirect environments that influence the individual through the microsystems; (4) Macrosystem: socio-cultural factors. The environmental factors within these systems are proposed to function as a network and have dynamic within-system interactions, as well as cross-system interactions that change over time and across phases of illness.Conclusions: Environmental contributions to negative symptoms have received minimal empirical attention, despite their potential to explain variance in negative symptom severity. The bioecosystem model of negative symptoms introduced here offers a novel conceptual framework for exploring environmental contributions to negative symptoms and their interaction with person-level biological and psychological factors. This theory may facilitate new avenues for identifying environmental treatment targets and novel systems-level interventions.

Full textAbstract:
This paper draws on a Scottish longitudinal study. It focuses on the variability of a sample of focal children's wellbeing and attainment trajectories on the journey through education from the age of 3 to school leaving at 16–18 years old in one Scottish Council area, in order to respond to the question What aspects of the intersection of wellbeing, attainment, and school transitions help to explain school leaving outcomes? The relationships between wellbeing and attainment either side of primary and secondary school start are explored and the ways these may link to transition experiences and educational outcomes at school leaving are raised. A new interpretation of Bronfenbrenner's “mature” bioecological system model which considers person, processes and educational contexts over time frames the methodology, methods and findings of a data rich exploratory-interpretive longitudinal study and discusses their relationship to current dilemmas surrounding educational outcomes in Scotland at the present time. The role of wellbeing and attainment measures as proxies for school success is considered and found to be too narrow a concept in the form experienced by the focal group of study participants. While wellbeing needs to be much more clearly defined and fostered, concepts of attainment predicated only on maths and literacy (and on some measures, science) are found to be insufficient in that they may discriminate against too many. Attention to the opportunities offered and risks inherent in periods of educational transition allow identification of, and reflection upon the qualities of a good educational transition from both early childhood education to school start, and subsequently in the move to secondary education. It is found that a “good transition” though it exists, is not available to all children: consequently more equitable approaches are advocated, and alternatives for practical and policy action are proposed. Study of educational transitions dates back fifty years: is it not time for systems themselves to change?

Full textAbstract:
The numbers of street children are estimated to be 1.5 million in Pakistan. Being an urban phenomenon, the pool is increasing day by day and simultaneously increases manifold vulnerabilities to violence, abuse, exploitation, etc. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has established legal and institutional structure to respond towards street children. However, the effective use of these institutions is yet to be made. There is a dearth of information on the subject; this study was conducted to evaluate the perception of Child Protection Experts regarding protection, welfare and rehabilitation system for street children in Peshawar. A Qualitative study using a structured interview format with predefined themes was conducted in 20 Child Protection Experts (KPCWC, CPUs, UNICEF, Social Welfare, Zamung Kor, Dost Welfare Foundation and SPARC). This study is based on Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory focuses on the quality and context of the child's environment. Most of the experts explained that legislative framework is present to protect the street children rights; however, there are several legal and Institutional loopholes and a need of strong political and government determination to respond to the subject of street children by strengthening the legal and institutional framework that require government commitment to respond in a sustainable manner rather than Adhoc basis.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Youth resettling to the U.S. from conflict-affected countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) face countless challenges. As they cope with their experiences of armed conflict and forced migration, these girls and boys must also adjust to the language and social norms of their new society, often encountering prejudice and discrimination along the way. Previous studies indicate that schools can play a central role in facilitating this adjustment while also promoting mental health and psychosocial wellbeing. This qualitative study aims to understand the lived experiences of MENA newcomers resettled in Austin, Texas and Harrisonburg, Virginia and to assess how schools, families, and communities support their mental and psychosocial wellbeing. Methods We held six focus group discussions across the two cities with a total of 30 youths (13–23 years) from Iraq, Syria, and Sudan. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 caregivers and 27 key informants, including teachers, administrators, service providers, and personnel from community-based organizations. Results Guided by Bioecological Theory, our thematic analysis identifies several means by which various actors work together to support resettled adolescents. We highlight promising efforts that seek to enhance these supports, including sheltered instruction, school-parent collaboration, peer support programming, social and emotional learning initiatives, and integrated mental health centers. Conclusion While this study underscores the resilience of newcomers and the value of local support systems, it also reflects the importance of investment in schools, mental health systems, and resettlement programs that can enable newcomers to achieve their full potential.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: This study investigates how changes in parental relationship quality relate to children's socio-emotional development during early childhood and whether high-quality early childcare arrangements may act as a protective factor in children’s environments.
Background: We draw on family systems theory and the bioecological model of human development to conceptualise how different social environments may interact in their influences on children's socio-emotional development during early childhood and across the transition to primary school.
Method: Based on a pooled sample of 636 US-American children who took part in the longitudinal NICHD Study of Early Childcare and Youth Development (SECCYD), we applied fixed-effects panel models to three time points between age 3 and first grade.
Results: Whereas changes in parental relationships quality were not significant in predicting children's socio-emotional development from age 3 to 4.5 years, our results showed that a reduction in parental relationship quality was moderately associated with an increase in behaviour problems of children across the transition to first grade. We did not find any evidence of mitigating effects of the child-specific process quality of the ECEC arrangement, neither for informal nor formal care settings.
Conclusion: The results suggest that initiatives designed to improve a couple’'s relationship quality might also be an effective way to further their children’s socio-emotional development.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the research is a set of relations that are formed in the process of improving the national system and program of environmental monitoring in the Republic of Belarus. A set of indicators is presented on the basis of which it is possible to com- prehensively assess the state of the ecosystem of any territory in terms of the impact of tourism on the ecosystem. The purpose of the article is to develop scientific, methodological and practical proposals for the applied support of the mechanism for regulating the development of bio-ecotourism in order to develop sectoral conditions for the development of tourism in rural areas as well as the organization of a modern developed infrastructure of sectoral eco-oriented tourism. Methodology of the work. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a system of both general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge, the fundamental provisions of modern economic and environmental theory and practice. In the scientific research, the following methods were used: monographic, in the formation of approaches, on the use of a set of indicators, on the basis of which it is possible to comprehensively assess the state of ecosystems of any territory from the point of view of tourism to the ecosystem. Results of the work – the applied use of scientific results of improved approaches for the development of the economy of the Republic of Belarus through the implementation of a mechanism for regulating the development of bio-ecotourism is proposed in order to develop sectoral conditions for the development of tourism in rural areas, as well as the organization of a modern developed infrastructure of sectoral eco-oriented tourism. Conclusions. These forecasting methods are most often used in carrying out normative forecasting, which is most important in today's changed conditions, with travel restrictions and delimitations. This scientific approach generalizes and is intended to formalize both bioecological design objects of research and the prospects for creating natural and artificial decorations using the features of reliefs and water areas. Both national systems and programs of environmental monitoring and international programs and research within the framework of the activities of large international organizations are based on the principles listed above (the Berne Convention is an international agreement that contains a provision on the protection of both natural habitats (biotopes) and and specific species of flora and fauna).
