Full textAbstract:
The term ‘monument of compassion' is introduced to describe the essential features of the Monument To Animals We Do Not Mourn, as well as other animal monuments. Installed in Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in New York, The Monument To Animals We Do Not Mourn is unconventional in its representation of a marginalized group (farm animals), its challenge to dominant cultural narratives concerning this group, its interactivity, and its atypical location. It is an artist-driven, dialogic monument of dissent, offering cemetery visitors the opportunity to consider the suffering of farm animals in the same space that they mourn their beloved companion animals. The monument extends compassion to farm animals and affirms their value as individual beings, worthy of a full and natural life. Visitors who resonate with the monument’s message are invited to leave a stone at its base. As the stones accumulate, they will be collected and used to create another monument of compassion for typically unmourned animals.

AbstractThe paper presents the history of the protection of trees with special values, the current state of monument trees and the preliminary description of trees meeting the minimal circumference criteria to be regarded as natural monuments in the Kampinos National Park (KNP). The study was conducted in the years 2017–2019. In the KNP, there are 69 living trees with a status of natural monuments. Most of them are oaks – 56 specimens, Scots pine – 6 specimens, small-leaved lime – 5 specimens and European hornbeam and European ash – 1 specimen each. Among all, 27 trees grow individually and the other 42 grow in 7 groups. About 200 trees were recognised as meeting the minimal circumference criteria to be regarded as natural monuments. The thickest size tree in the KNP is the black poplar with a circumference of 805 cm, growing in the enclave of Ruska Kępa, and the thickest monument tree in the KNP area is Dąb Kobędzy (Kobendza Oak) with a circumference of 582 cm. Almost a half of the living monument trees (34 specimens) are situated in Kampinos Forest District. In Kromnów, there are 20, and in Laski Forest District 15 specimens of monument trees are mapped. Living monument trees were found in 15 (out of 17) forest subdistricts. The highest number of monument trees was found in Rózin Forest Subdistrict (16) and in Wilków Forest Subdistrict (10). The lowest number – one specimen per forest subdistrict – was found in six forest subdistricts (Dąbrówka, Grabina, Janówek, Krzywa Góra, Rybitew and Zamczysko). In total, there are around 300 specimens of natural monuments and trees meeting the minimal circumference criteria to be regarded as natural monuments, which means that there is one tree of this category for each 125 ha surface of the KNP.

Full textAbstract:
This article delves into the lexical and semantic analysis of the concept MONUMENT, with a focus on its historical and cultural significance within various linguistic traditions. By employing componential analysis, the study reveals both common and differential semes associated with the lexeme “monument”, highlighting its multifaceted roles as a physical structure, a symbol of memory, and a marker of historical and cultural identity. Common semes such as “remembrance”, statue”, “tombstone”, and “historic significance” underscore the unifying aspects of the concept MONUMENT, while differential semes, including “boundary marker”, “lasting evidence”, “written tribute”, and “exceptional example”, reveal the diverse and multifaceted roles that monuments play in different contexts. Tracing the etymological evolution of the term “monument” from its Latin roots, the research demonstrates how the concept extends beyond its material form to encompass deeper cultural meanings related to commemoration, boundary marking, and exemplary achievements. The study underscores the dynamic nature of monuments, emphasizing their importance not only as cultural artifacts but also as symbolic embodiments of collective memory and identity. In light of ongoing global conflicts and natural disasters, this research also emphasizes the critical need for the preservation of monuments, which are vital to maintaining cultural heritage. Prospective areas for future study include the cross-cultural analysis of the concept MONUMENT and its evolving role in contemporary geopolitical contexts.

Впервые рассчитаны запасы донной растительности памятников природы г. Сева- стополя на основе проведенных гидроботанических исследований (2020‑2021 гг.). Показано, что наибольшие общие запасы макрофитов и входящих в их состав доминирующих Ericaria crinita, Gongolaria barbata характерны для акватории памятника природы «Прибрежный аквальный ком- плекс (ПАК) у мыса Лукулл», наименьшие ‑ для «ПАК у мыса Сарыч». Максимальный запас фи- томассы Phyllophora crispa отмечен в акватории памятника природы «ПАК у Херсонеса Тавриче- ского». Полученные результаты могут быть рекомендованы для оптимизации природоохранного режима памятников природы. For the first time, the stocks of bottom vegetation at the natural monuments of Sevastopol city were assessed on the basis of hydrobiological studies (2020–2021). The largest total macrophyte stock and their dominant species (Ericaria crinita and Gongolaria barbata) are typical for the water area of the natural monument “Nearshore Aquatic Complex (NAC) at Cape Lucullus”, the lowest, for “NAC at Cape Sarych”. Maximum biomass stock of Phyllophora crispa algae was recorded in the waters of the natural monument “NAC at Tauric Chersonese”. The results obtained may be recommended for optimizing the environmental regime of the natural monuments.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the monuments to scientists and inventors installed in Leningrad and modern St. Petersburg and their influence on shaping collective historical representations of the past. On the basis of the analysis of reference literature and scholarship, a range of monuments for the study was determined, which led to the conclusions about which new monuments to scientists emerged in Soviet Leningrad and modern St. Petersburg more often and in which periods in the history of the city. The article explores the history of installation of some monuments with regard to both the mechanisms for developing the projects and the implementation of competitive procedures. The paper also addresses the initiators and reasons for the installation of a particular monument. The author comes to the conclusion that the projects for the monuments are most often initiated by the state, and less often — by the scientific community or some influential scientist. Business community rarely proposes to erect a monument to a famous scientist. The article reveals that monuments to representatives of the exact and natural sciences prevail over those to humanitarians, which can be attributed to both the applied nature of the work of the former and to the perception of the latter as part of the general pantheon of heroes of the national culture. A possible explanation for almost complete absence of monuments to historians, philologists, and philosophers in monumental sculpture may be due to the substitution of their role by monuments to writers and poets erected in large numbers both in Soviet Leningrad and in modern St. Petersburg.

Full textAbstract:
St. Andrew's Church is located in the historical center of Kyiv, on the hill of the high Starokievska Mountain above the Dnieper. The location is very good from an urban planning point of view, but quite difficult in terms of engineering and geological conditions. This has caused unabated deformation processes in the structures of the monument and, as a result, numerous repairs. In 2008-2020, a large-scale project "Emergency and repair and restoration work on St. Andrew's Church" was carried out. The goal of this project is to minimize the negative impact of natural and man-made factors on the physical preservation of the monument and its historical environment and to carry out comprehensive repair and restoration work on it, based on modern scientific and technical achievements. The following were performed within the framework of the project: unique emergency emergency works to strengthen the soil base of St. Andrew's Hill and the foundations of St. Andrew's Church, restoration of the porch, stylobate, stairs, facades, interiors and monumental painting of the church, as well as repair of utility networks and landscaping of the territory. The article presents geotechnical studies of St. Andrew's Church after the first stage (2008-2011) of emergency repair and restoration works on the hill, which significantly changed the hydrogeological conditions at the site. Geotechnical studies have been carried out at St. Andrew's Church since the end of the 20th century. The main goal of such studies is to eliminate the influence of negative natural and man-made factors on the monument, preserve the monument and develop measures for its protection. The current method of preserving monuments is constant geotechnical monitoring. The main results of geotechnical monitoring, the reasons for the change in hydrogeological conditions on the hill are considered, recommendations for safe operation and further research at the site are given.

This article provides a broad understanding of the fact that architectural monuments remain under man-made influences, different from natural ones, and measures to simulate these influences. Each architectural monument has a specific building style of its time. It was observed that the outer barrier structures of the Ark fortress fell under the influence of man-made, leading to the destruction of their structures. Accordingly, it is illuminated that the objects of the architectural monument are not an optimal solution to the surroundings and protected areas for conducting cultural and educational events.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the problems of establishing protection zones for natural monuments, reorganizing and eliminating them, and guaranteeing a special protection regime. The author examines the law enforcement practices of executive authorities, judicial procedures, federal legislation, and legislation of the Russian Federation’s constituent entities. The article provides evidence for creating a closed list of reasons to eliminate natural monuments. The study demonstrates the need to consolidate procedural standards at the federal level that govern the sequence in which natural monument protection zones are established and the state environmental oversight of natural monuments, including the periodicity of such monitoring. Resolving the recognized flaws in the law will adhere to the principle of prioritizing the preservation of natural ecological systems, landscapes, and complexes. It will also enable the establishment of the legal requirements required to safeguard natural monuments from being damaged.

Full textAbstract:
In the Parthenon frieze, the time of mortals and the time of gods seem to merge. Dipesh Chakrabarty has argued that with the advent of the Anthropocene the times of human history and of the Earth are similarly coming together. Are humans entering the ‘monumental time’ of the Earth, to stand alongside the Olympian gods of the other geological forces? This article first looks at the cultural shifts leading to the modern idea of separate human and Earth histories. It examines the changing use of monuments to mediate between human and other temporalities. It explores the use of ‘stratigraphic sections’ as natural monuments to mark transitions between the major time units of Earth history, and the erection of intentional monuments nearby. It suggests that the Anthropocene, as a geological epoch-in-the-making, may challenge the whole system of monumental semiotics used to stabilize our way of thinking about deep time.

Aim. To develop unified methodological recommendations for the declaration of a tree or group of trees as natural monuments, for the monitoring of their condition, for the compilation of a cadastral register and of a passport identifying a protected natural object. Materials and Methods. On the basis of eco‐floristic research and published data, the description of an ancient specimen of Juniperus excelsa M. Bieb near Cape Sarych, south‐western Crimea, was undertaken. In accordance with standard parameters, methodological recommendations were prepared for the designation of unique trees as specially protected natural territories. Results. It was established that this specimen of J. excelsa is one of the most ancient examples in the territory of the Russian Federation, thus constituting the basis for its creation as a natural monument of federal significance (named “Patriarch of Tavrida”, city of Sevastopol). It was shown, that in designating a tree or group of trees as protected natural objects it is necessary to define its biological and taxonomical characteristics and to provide documentary justification for necessary nature protective measures and modes of nature management. Conclusion. Methodological recommendations were developed which allow the unified description of a tree or group of trees to support their designation as specially protected natural territories. In the documentation required to justify designation it is recommended that data be compiled in ten principal categories: general characteristics; location; aims in creating the designation relating to the value of the monument’s natural features; assessment of the contemporary nature management and condition of the monument; its taxatıon characteristics; assessment of its environmental significance; recreational resources and usage potential; negative factors and threats; identification of optimal boundaries and particular recommendations for a protection regime.

Full textAbstract:
Over the course of the last four decades there has been a growing interest in the development and impact of counter memorials and counter monuments. While counter memorial and monument practices have been explored in Europe and the United States, relatively little research has been conducted in the Australian context. This systematic literature review examines the current state of scholarship by exploring what form counter monuments and memorials have taken and what events they have focussed on. A total of 134 studies met the selection criteria and were included in the final review. The major factors identified that have impacted on the development of the counter memorial and monument genre in Australia are international and domestic influences, historical, political and social-cultural events in Australia, the socio-political agenda of various individuals or organisations, and the aesthetics of the counter memorials and monuments themselves. The review found that Australia has a diverse and active counter memorial and monument genre, with commemorative practices honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, women, victims of human made and natural disasters, the experiences of asylum seekers, and the histories and experiences of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities.

Full textAbstract:
The algal flora of 7 water bodies of Orenburg forest-steppe Trans Volga region protected areas was studied. 193 species and intraspecific taxa of algae belonging to 7 phyla, 12 classes, 30 orders, 57 families and 109 genera were identified. According to the results of a saprobiological analysis studied water bodies and streams are characterized as xeno-, oligo-, and β-mesosaprobic, grades 1-3 of quality, from extremely pure to satisfactory purity. In some water bodies (pond on the Zhmakovsky creek – natural monument «Kuzminka creek with tributaries^ and pond of the natural monument «Aksakov’s park»), disturbances in the stability of ecosystems and various stages of eutrophication were recorded. The data obtained indicate the need for strict compliance with the restrictions already provided for these natural monuments and the use of more effective protection measures to restore ecosystems and improve water quality within the studied objects.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to conduct a spatial analysis of the sacred heritage of Ukraine. The following research methods were used in the work: structural-logical generalization and systemic analysis, which are used to study and generalize the types and variatons of sacred heritage, build a classification scheme, formulate the concepts sacred heritage, landscape-sacred monument of nature; statistical (standardization to the average value) for processing quantitative indicators collected as a result of the study; cartographical for visualization of the completed comprehensive assessment of the sacred cultural heritage of Ukraine; comparative-geographical for comparing the potential of sacred and cultural heritage of the regions of Ukraine. In the presented classification scheme, the sacral heritage of Ukraine is divided into cultural and natural, distinguishing types and species within these components. In the cultural component of sacred heritage, types (buildings, complexes, landmarks) and types (architecture and urban planning, history, monumental art, archeology) are highlighted. The natural component of heritage also includes types (springs, stone and rock objects, caves, burial sites with rare vegetation and plantations) and types (geological, hydrological, botanical, complex). A comprehensive assessment of the sacred cultural heritage of Ukraine was carried out and interpreted in the corresponding map. The highest value (5.34-2.01) of the standardized indicator of the number of sacred monuments is recorded in Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Kherson, and Kharkiv regions; in most regions of Ukraine, this indicator does not exceed 1. Examples of types and types of sacred natural heritage of Ukraine are given and their spatial location is substantiated. The novelty of the study consists in the author’s interpretation of the natural component of the classification scheme of the sacred heritage of Ukraine, the formulation of the interpretation of the term landscape-sacred monument of nature and the justification of the feasibility of its introduction to the types of natural monuments at the legislative level, conducting a comprehensive assessment of the sacred cultural heritage of Ukraine.

The article reveals the results of pedoarchaeological research of the Zhayyk-kurgan. The research is based on the pedoarchaeological method in the study of historical monuments as a part of natural. The essence of this method is a joint study of modern soils and ancient paleosols of different age archaeological monuments. The obtained data allowed us to clarify the construction features of the archaeological monument’s ground mound, as well as to suggest the time of its building. Natural conditions in this period (probably 5th century BC) were generally similar to modern ones, the area was dominated by steppe landscapes with dark chestnut soils. The сentral part of the kurgan was built of soil blocks, which are cut out upper humus horizons of the soil in their natural composition. The inner mound of the monument is surrounded by a circular moat about 80 cm deep. In the сentral part of the mound, there are traces of burning in the form of burnt and melted blocks, pieces of soil colored brick and dark pink, charred fragments of wood. The internal structure made of blocks is covered with an embankment of yellow-gray loose humus loam, which is a layer of soil lying under the humus horizon in the areas of building blocks preparation, and this material also fills the ring moat. The embankment that overlaps the primary structure, in turn, is covered with a massive gray-brown top-up that forms the appearance of the monument. It is possible to point out three stages of the kurgan construction: the moment of building a block structure with a ring moat; the stage of building the first mound, and then covering the entire structure with the mound of the last burial.

The artistic expressions, constructive techniques, national cultural values of monument buildings, their succession and maintenance problems are especially perceptible and appreciable when observed in their historical environment.Monuments can be observed in two main groups according to their location: natural and urban landscape groups. Naturally, landscape changes over years undergoing construction development and different natural or anthropogenic influences. Of course much more structural problems are notable in urban contexts, since they are much more susceptible to dynamic changes in urban environment.The above mentioned problems are various in Republic of Armenia (RA): as a result of spontaneous development and incorrect land use monuments often lose their vitally important natural environment, perspective and landscape silhouette.This article mainly deals with the structural and panoramic problems of landscape, emerged in the environments of monument buildings in RA. They have been studied by comparative analysis based on the examples of existing monuments both in urban structure and natural landscape.Based on photographical comparison, analysis of literature, software and metric gauging methods it will be possible to reveal the planning, climatic, anthropogenic negative, neutral and positive factors affecting the modification of protection zones of monuments in RA.As a result it becomes possible in particular situations to neutralize much of the existing negative factors. The study will give an opportunity to solve some problems of already modified environments or landscape continuous degradation by developing rehabilitation projects, providing new interesting solutions related to the aesthetic and technological aspects, as well as the materials that are being used.

This paper aims to develop a model for assessing the conservation state of monuments and cultural heritage sites, assisting local decision-makers in prioritizing conservation, preservation, and management actions. The research focuses on religious monuments in the Moldavian Plain from Romania using multi-criteria analyses to evaluate risks from natural factors, socio-demographic elements, and economic development. The used methods aim to standardize the level of natural and anthropogenic risk for religious cultural heritage in the counties of Botoșani and Iasi through quantitative and qualitative approaches. For the digitization of monument churches, data from the official list of historical monuments, topographic maps and aerial photographs were combined. A tabular database was created, integrating various risk indicators, with scores from 1 to 5, to obtain a total risk score for each monument. The study integrates both natural and human geographical parameters into a Geographic Information System (GIS) to create a pre-assessment risk model based on existing data. This model could serve as a tool for decision-makers and specialists to identify the most vulnerable sites, optimize expenses, and prioritize actions, ultimately saving time and resources.

Abstract Rock foundations of the Kephren and Kheops pyramids are examined in comparison with other Fourth Dynasty monuments: the Sphinx, Queen Kentkawes’ monument and the Abu Rawash monument. This study is based on geological and topographical observations, photomontages and field measurements. The results, which are correlated with those of former studies, demonstrate the existence of natural hills used as substrata in the construction of the two great pyramids. The minimum volume of these hills can be estimated at 12% and 23% respectively of the volumes of the Kephren and Kheops pyramids. The use of worked rock hills appears to be a construction method under the Fourth Dynasty.

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Many of the issues archaeologists are confronted with are similar to those encountered by natural resource biologists including increased urbanization and industrialization. We investigated bat use of archaeological structures at Montezuma Castle (i.e., Montezuma Castle Unit and Montezuma Well Unit), Tonto, and Tuzigoot National Monuments, Arizona to determine the impact of bats on archaeological structures. Archaeological sites were checked for bats or bat sign (i.e., guano or urine stains) and recommendations were made regarding bat use of the archaeological sites at each of the monuments. Guano was found in all the archaeological sites checked at Montezuma Castle National Monument. We found #3 individuals of two species day roosting, and approximately 40 individuals of seven species night roosting in the five-story cliff dwelling at Montezuma Castle Unit. A maternity colony of Townsend's big-eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii) was roosting in Swallet Cave at Montezuma Well Unit. Bats used the crevices in the rock face above the cliff dwellings for roosting at Tonto National Monument. We found small amounts of guano in the tower room of the pueblo at Tuzigoot National Monument. Bats were not causing damage to the archaeological structures.

We found #3 individuals of two species day roosting, and approximately 40 individuals of seven species night roosting in the five-story cliff dwelling at Montezuma Castle Unit. A maternity colony of Townsend's big-eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii) was roosting in Swallet Cave at Montezuma Well Unit. Bats used the crevices in the rock face above the cliff dwellings for roosting at Tonto National Monument. We found small amounts of guano in the tower room of the pueblo at Tuzigoot National Monument. Bats were not causing damage to the archaeological structures.

Abstract. The three-dimensional (3D) preservation and repair of historic sites are increasingly in practice using modelling and digital documentation. This study focuses on replacing conventional techniques of historical documentation by creating a digital documentation procedure employing laser scanning for 3D mapping of a monument located in Prayagraj, India. To quickly record the entire monument structure, four scanning stations were planned, where three for the facades and one for the interior. A 3D structure of the monument and its elements dimension that included structural, architectural, historical, and non-engineering information was the end product. Researchers, architects, and conservationists can use this laser scanning-based technique to analyze data in great detail to identify weaknesses and conservation requirements. In order to preserve the monument's cultural relevance, it can also be used for virtual tours. Digital documentation can also provide an accurate monument record for restoration needs, protecting the monument from human- or natural-caused damage. Overall, 3D Modelling and digital documentation are valuable tools in heritage conservation, providing comprehensive records of heritage sites and aiding in practical conservation and restoration plans while making cultural heritage accessible to a broader societies.

Full textAbstract:
Athens, the capital of Greece, is notable for its distinctive environment. Numerous archaeological and historical monuments contribute to the city’s cultural wealth. These cultural monuments should include geological monuments, which are part of Athens’ natural heritage. The Acropolis of Athens is one of the world’s most recognizable and admired monuments, renowned for its archaeological, historical, and touristic significance. The Acropolis Rock is also a spectacular geological heritage monument. This article is about the Acropolis monuments, which are of great geological interest in addition to their cultural value. In recognizing each monument’s unique geological features and quantitatively evaluating them, in terms of educational, touristic, cultural, and accessibility value, we document their special value in geoeducation and geotourism, not only for the public, but also for the scientific community. The potential for exploiting these geosites, in terms of geotourism, is very high and important not only for strengthening the local economy, but also for raising visitor awareness of environmental, geological, and geoconservation issues. However, the lack of understanding of geological heritage in relation to cultural heritage is underlined. The need for strategic educational planning and integration of geo-environmental education into school practice is evident.

Full textAbstract:
Archaeological monuments all over the world face problems of conservation and maintenance due to natural events and processes as well as human intervention, all of which lead to their alteration and deterioration. In particular, monuments and sites that have been excavated and left exposed to the elements experience decay, which would have taken centuries prior to excavation, in just a few years when left unprotected. Thus, the necessity to detect and observe changes over time becomes paramount. Legacy data and, in particular, retrospective photogrammetric modeling, are vital tools in this process. In this work we compare two photogrammetric 3D models of the Omega House, in the Athenian Agora, to assess how much the site has changed between the time of its first excavation in 1972 and its current state. Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) is utilized to perform Boolean operations. Additionally, distance and volume calculations are performed. The software CloudCompare was used for this work. Overall, the state of Omega House monument proves to have been preserved from 1972 to 2017, except for certain differences that are highlighted as follows: The central north part of the monument in the model 2017 presents increased volume per 7.86% in comparison with the model 1972. The northeast part of the monument in the 2017 model shows decreased volume per 5.11% when compared to the model 1972. Moreover, the calculated distances between the two models from 1972 and 2017 present the greatest values in the case of the southwest and northwest parts of the monument, ranging between −17 cm to 5 cm.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the results of the floristic diversity study of the state natural monument of local significance ‒ “Kamenny lake tract” with a total area of 2.5 hectares. According to natural conditions, this territory is included in the subzone of arid forb-feather grass steppes on low-humus southern chernozems and dark chestnut soils, plowed up to 80%. Under the birch forest soils are dark gray, loamy, and sandy; on slopes they are leached chernozem; near-shore soils are meadow-marsh soils. The studies were carried out in 2019-2022. On the basis of field studies, five main ecotopes were identified: shrub thickets on slopes, birch forest on steep slopes, upland meadows with shrub thickets, meadow-marsh communities on coasts, and meadowsteppe communities. A synopsis containing species’ habitat information within the specially protected natural area was compiled. In the study area, the total list of higher vascular plants includes 177 species from 48 families and 132 genera. The leading families are Asteraceae, Rosaceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, and Caryophyllaceae. The basis of the flora is herbaceous plants, followed by woody, aquatic plants. The steppe ecological-coenotic group is the richest by the volume of species. In the flora of the “Kamenny lake tract” a large proportion of species has significant extent areas: cosmopolitan, holarctic, and palearctic. The holarctic and palearctic types are the largest number of species. The Red Book of Kazakhstan species in the study area are Adonis wolgensis, Stipa pennata, and Tulipa biebersteiniana.

Full textAbstract:
Mitch Landrieu, former mayor of New Orleans garnered significant attention for his book In the Shadow of Statues (2018), observing that many Confederate monuments were erected to buttress Jim Crow laws and serve as a warning to those who supported the civil rights movement. Likewise, there are a number of monuments in Québec that serve a particular political or religious purpose, seeking to reinforce a pure laine ideology. In this article, I explore the parallels between the literal and figurative construction and deconstruction of monuments that have fortified invented ideas on identity in francophone North America. Further, Gabrielle Roy’s short story “L’arbre,” which describes a “living monument,” tells the story of a racialized past in North America and unveils the falsities that have been preserved through the construction of statues that perpetuate racial myth. “L’arbre” examines the natural, unconstructed monument of the Live Oak: a tree that witnessed and holds the visible scars of the many terrible realities that took place in its shadows. I use Roy’s short story to show how she sought to deconstruct a whitewashed history of the post-Civil War American South and suggest that her broader corpus rejects determinism wholesale.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the peculiarities of revealing the Cossacks theme in the architecture and monumental sculpture of Ukrainian artists of the 1950s-1980s. The most outstanding sights reflecting national values, ideals, glorifying historical personalities of the Cossack era are characterized. The author characterized the role of the work of Ukrainian artists in the spread of Cossack culture, investigated the influence of architectural art on strengthening historical memory and the formation of national self-awareness. At the same time, attention is drawn to the specificity of the reproduction of the Cossack theme in works of architecture and monumental sculpture, taking into account the influence of the political era. The main reason for turning to the topic of Cossacks in the architecture of the studied period is precisely the political trend of Ukrainian national revival within the framework of de-Stalinization. It is natural that the spread of the traditions and history of our people required the glorification of the Cossack past of Ukraine. Therefore, during the "Khrushchev thaw" a number of museums dedicated to the Cossack era were created or restored. Back in 1965, the idea of creating a historical and cultural complex "Zaporozka Sich" on the territory of the National Reserve "Khortytsia" was developed. In 1966, the National Historical-Memorial Reserve "Field of the Battle of Berestets", also known as "Cossack Graves", was founded, located in the village of Plyasheva, Duben District, Rivne Oblast. In order to glorify the Cossacks, objects of monumental sculpture were also created, which became an important element of architectural compositions in the squares of Ukrainian cities. Such monuments were more often created either as a generalized image of a Cossack, or were sculptures of famous hetmans or Cossack commanders involved in certain historical events. An example is the monument to Mykytynska Sich, the monument "Zaporozhian Cossack and Kobzar" in Kyiv. In the 1950s-1980s, numerous monuments to the hetman of the Zaporizhzhya Army B. Khmelnytskyi became an integral part of the cultural landscape of Ukraine. The popularity of the image of Bohdan Khmelnytskyi in the monumental art of the studied period is explained not only by his significant historical role in the life of Ukraine, but also by the political ideas of the Soviet period, which promoted brotherhood between the Russian and Ukrainian peoples. To spread this idea, the image of Hetman B. Khmelnytskyi, who signed the Bereznev Articles in 1654 in order to get out of the dependence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, recognizing the Moscow tsar's protectorate over the Hetmanship, was glorified. An important reason for the penetration of the Cossack theme into the architectural and monumental art of the 1950s-1980s was the search for national symbols of individual settlements of Ukraine. Historical intelligence and research, which became more active during the period of de-Stalinization, made it possible to find the connection of Ukrainian cities and towns with individual historical figures of the Cossack era. Such personalities sought to be immortalized in monumental buildings on the squares of the respective settlements. More often, the installation of symbolic monuments was timed either to the anniversary of important historical events, or to the celebration of the city day, etc. Separate architectural monuments of culture dedicated to Cossack commanders or the glorification of the Cossack era as a whole, although they were planned in the period of 1950-80s, but were physically embodied only after the independence of Ukraine. An example of such ideas is the historical and cultural complex "Zaporozka Sich" already described above. Also, during the researched period, the idea of a monument to the founder of the city of Kryvyi Rih, the Cossack Rog, and a monument to Ivan Sirko, the chieftain of the Zaporizhian army, in Merefa, arose. In general, the use of the Cossack theme in the architecture of 1950-1980 is a complex mixture of cultural heritage and ideological control, which reflects the contradiction between the desire to preserve and restore the historical heritage and the needs of the ideological regime.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the relationship between the Memorial Complex to the Fallen Fighters of the Revolution in Shtip, designed by Bogdan Bogdanović, and the topography of Isar Hill. While previous scholarship has examined Bogdanović’s unique approach to memorial architecture, limited attention has been given to how his monuments engage with their immediate landscapes. Addressing this gap, the study analyzes the spatial, material, and experiential dimensions of the Shtip monument, emphasizing its integration with the natural contours of the terrain. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study combines site analysis, archival research, and theoretical interpretation. Field observations document visitor movement, lighting conditions, and the interplay between the monument’s form and the surrounding landscape. Archival materials—including architectural plans and Bogdanović’s writings—offer historical insight, while phenomenological and landscape theories provide a conceptual framework for understanding the spatial experience of the site. The findings reveal how the monument’s design encourages a ritualized engagement with the landscape, guiding visitors through a contemplative journey that amplifies its commemorative purpose. By situating the Shtip memorial within broader discussions of landscape-based commemoration and site-specific design, this research deepens our understanding of Bogdanović’s architectural philosophy. It demonstrates how the strategic placement, use of natural materials, and integration with the sloped terrain generate a dynamic, immersive experience, reinforcing the monument’s symbolic and emotional resonance.

Full textAbstract:
Mount Timpoong-Hibok Hibok Natural Monument (MTHNM) is a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) located in the island of Camiguin, Mindanao, Philippines. As a Protected Area (PA), it is governed by the Protected Area Management Board (PAMB) and was nominated as one of the ASEAN Heritage Park in 2014. This paper sought to describe and appraise the significance of the natural monument and protected area in the context of ecotourism. It employed qualitative method of gathering data, such as focused group discussion, key informant interviews, and transect walks. Results of the study revealed that the natural monument is rich in biodiversity, has been a research and learning area for scientists, researchers and students and is the main source of potable water and irrigation for the municipalities of Mambajao, Mahinog, Sagay and Catarman. Cultural beliefs and traditions of the indigenous people in the area are still being practiced. In the management of the natural monument, there is a partnership and collaboration with LGUs, NGOs, POs, IPs and academic institutions as stakeholders. It can be concluded that the site has great potential in becoming one of the next ASEAN heritage park. However, a more efficient and effective biodiversity monitoring system is recommended.

The scientific novelty of the research is that for the first time a comprehensive analysis of this monument of park and garden art as an object not only of nature reserves, but also immovable cultural heritage type ‘landmark’, articulated problems caused by rapid and chaotic development urban environment around this monument, and also proposed a conceptual approach to the protective zoning of areas around the monument. Conclusions. All cultural heritage sites, including the Central Republican Botanical Garden as an object of study, form the traditional nature of the environment of the southern periphery of the historic centre of Kyiv. The object of study for its compositional role in the traditional nature of the environment is the landscape dominant of the large-scale monument ‘Cultural Landscape of the Kyiv Mountains and the Dnieper River Valley’, the compositional and species influence of which extends to the entire Dnieper Valley between the E. Paton and the South bridges. With this in mind, a conclusion was made about the insufficiency and obsolescence of the existing protection zoning in the areas adjacent to the monument in question, and a new concept of protection zoning with additional development control zones was defined. Their approval will allow actualizing the territorial-environmental approach as the most effective in preserving the traditional Kyiv character of the environment for the present and future generations.

Full textAbstract:
The article gives a phytosozological assessment of natural monuments of regional importance in the Penza region, based on a number of phytosozological criteria that characterize the vegetation cover and their ecological state. The assessment is based on such criteria as the degree of study of the vegetation cover of the territory, the demonstration (reference) value, the area occupied, the anthropotolerance of the vegetation cover, the coenotic diversity of the territory, the total number of species diversity of vascular plants, the number of species listed in the Federal and regional Red Books, the degree transformation and recovery potential. The assessment used is of interest as a test express system that allows you to quickly assess the dynamics of the main qualitative and quantitative indicators of natural complexes. On the territory of the Penza region, located mostly on the western slope of the Volga Upland, and geobotanically located within the forest-steppe zone, in order to preserve biological and landscape diversity, 90 natural monuments of regional significance were identified on an area of 627.4 km2, which is 1.44% from the territory of the region. The highest concentration of natural monuments is noted in the north-east of the region, the most elevated and wooded part of the region. The largest area of more than 40 thousand hectares was noted in the Vyshe-Moksha botanical-geographical region. The largest number of monuments, of which 70% are botanical, are noted in the Prisursky botanical-geographical region with an average rating score of 62.2. The maximum score was noted at the natural monument Ardymsky Shikhan. The largest number of hydrological monuments of nature are located in the Zasursky and Prisursky botanical and geographical regions, which is associated with the location of the Sura River basin in these regions. The largest number of zoological monuments is located on the territory of the Vyshe-Moksha botanical-geographical region. The results obtained are necessary to determine the dynamics and directions of the processes of conservation and restoration of the composition of the flora and fauna of unique communities of regional natural monuments, as well as to increase the level of representativeness and ecological status, which in the future will allow monitoring changes in ecosystems.

White-tailed (Odocoileus virginianus) and mule deer (0. hemionis) currently use Devils Tower National Monument and adjacent private agricultural lands year round or migrate from the Monument to other areas. In 1989, a game fence was constructed on the west and north borders of the Monument. Enclosure of the Monument by additional fencing could alter habitat use of deer substantially and create many of the problems associated with island reserves. National Park Service management policy directs the Monument to predict changes in the natural resources under its stewardship. Because current deer use of the Monument is not well documented, the Department of Zoology and Physiology and the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, in cooperation with the Devils Tower National Monument, initiated a study in June 1990 to document current population numbers and habitat ecology of white-tailed and mule deer on the Monument as a baseline for monitoring long-term changes in the deer herd.

Natural disasters threaten all human efforts, from everyday living to cultural heritage site preservation. To protect them, such sites must first be identified. We conducted two studies on cultural monuments designated by the law as The National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties in Shiga prefecture to evaluate potential of damage from natural disasters – first, focusing on cultural monument damage via a bibliographic survey and, second, looking at potential of damage via geographic information systems (GIS) combining earthquake and flood hazard maps, sediment disaster warning maps, and an architectural monuments map. We also analyzed the geological aspects of historical sediment disasters. From our findings, we conclude the following: • Most structural damage was due to typhoons. • The eight sites most potentially subject to earthquake damage are concentrated on the west coast of Lake Biwa. • By type, 8 sites are threatened by earth flows, 5 by debris flows, and 2 by landslides. • Many sites historically subject to debris flows and earth flows are within 1 kilometer of a geological discontinuity or an active fault.

The main territory of the monuments is an integral part of the historical and cultural landscapes preserved from antiquity, which have exceptional attractiveness, originality and a certain natural uniqueness. In 2021, petroglyphs of Karelia were included in the UNESCO list, they became the first monument of rock art from Russia.The proposed article is devoted to study of the sacred natural space of Karelian rock carvings. Special emphasis is placed on the manifestations of the organic relationship of ancient rock art panels with the surrounding landscapes and with the features of the rock microrelief itself. The author analyzes the possible motivating reasons for the Rock Art appearance on the eastern shore of the Onega Lake and in the Vyg River delta, gives some examples of the inclusion of petroglyphic motifs and scenes in the natural relief of rock panels and their possible interpretation.

The Krasnodar region is one of Russia’s four leaders in terms of tourism development. The number of tourists who visit the Krasnodar region has been rising year after year. Specially protected natural areas, which attract a lot of tourists, come under pressure. Nowadays, natural monuments turned into travel destinations, as a rule, of short-term trips (the so-called weekend journeys). The Dolgaya Spit area is an example of extensive use of natural monuments. It can be expected that tourist flow might exceed the current level, maybe by several times, on the back of rising popularity, the development of transport infrastructure and improved beach quality. To date, the failure to resolve the current problems for a long time has led to unfavorable consequences, with the natural monument degrading rapidly amid growing recreational pressure. The situation is quite complicated. On the one hand, the area’s economic prospects as a resort are unquestionable, although, on the other hand, the Dolgaya Spit needs protection because it is now under the influence of constantly rising anthropogenic factors.

There is a large number of geological and geomorphological monuments in Prykarpattia, which, in addition to scientific significance, also have a sacred significance, since the objects of inanimate nature were among the first that people used in religious life, endowing them with supernatural power. Nowadays, many geological and geomorphological objects of the Ivano-Frankivsk region have significant potential for use in religious tourism and the formation of the spiritual and religious worldview of the population.
 Ukraine has great potential for the development of tourism and recreational activities. Ivano-Frankivsk region within the Carpathian region is located in the foothills and mountainous part of the Ukrainian Carpathians and is characterized by significant bio- and geodiversity and picturesque landscapes. On the territory of the region, as a result of complex internal and external geological and geomorphological processes, unique, valuable and diverse geological and geomorphological monuments of nature were formed, their purposeful and systematic study is an important direction of scientific research, because monuments of inanimate nature are not reproducible and can undergo anthropogenic and other influences. Geological and geomorphological objects were among the first natural objects to which people attached sacred meaning, believed in their spiritual properties and supernatural power. Many geological and geomorphological monuments of Prykarpattia within Ivano-Frankivsk region have significant potential for use in religious tourism and formation of the spiritual and religious worldview of the population.
 The article analyzes scientific views on the definition of the concepts: "natural monument", "inanimate nature monument", "geological natural monument", "sacred object", the main features of the geological and geomorphological structure of the study area are investigated in the context of possible the acquisition of sacred meaning by natural objects, the diversity and peculiarities of the location of geological and geomorphological monuments of Prykarpattia with an indication of their sacred meaning are determined, the tourist and recreational significance of sacred objects of natural origin in Prykarpattia is outlined.
 It was established that the complexity of the lithologic-structural structure, as well as internal and external processes in the landscapes, contributed to the formation of a large number of geological, geomorphological and hydrogeological objects of inanimate nature in the Carpathians, which are the geological heritage of Ukraine, and are also places of sacred significance. Within the limits of Ivano-Frankivsk region, among the geological and geomorphological monuments, the following groups of inanimate objects of a sacred nature are distinguished: mountain peaks, rock complexes, water objects, grottoes. In the percentage ratio of groups of sacred objects of inanimate nature by geological and geomorphological features, we can see that the largest percentage of sacred natural objects is made up of such groups as we have highlighted, such as rock complexes and hydro objects (41% each), to a lesser extent - peaks mountains (15%), and the least - caves (3%).
 Sacred objects of inanimate nature within Ivano-Frankivsk region are unevenly located, most of them are located in the mountainous and foothills of the region, which once again proves the dependence of the presence of monuments of inanimate nature on geological and geomorphological processes, in particular, weathering, karst formation, exits of underground of waters, the complex action of several processes.
 The largest concentration of sacred natural monuments can be traced within the boundaries of the Kosiv district - 16 objects. 14 sacred objects are located on the territory of Ivano-Frankivsk district, 12 - located in Nadvirnyanskyi district, 6 - in Verkhovynskyi district, 5 - in Kalusskyi district and 1 in Kolomiyskyi district.
 The sacred content of these objects provides an opportunity for the development of religious tourism in the Ivano-Frankivsk region in such directions as: - sacred tourism - where geological and geomorphological objects act as objects of a sacred nature; - religious tourism - the possibility of using monuments of inanimate nature as objects for studying the history of religions; - pilgrimage tourism - where mountain tops, rock complexes, hydraulic objects and grottoes are a place of healing, prayer, repentance, thanksgiving; - esoteric tourism - where geological and geomorphological objects can contribute to the expansion of the traditional religious worldview.
 Key words: natural prerequisites, sacred objects of inanimate nature, geological monuments, geomorphological monuments, Ivano-Frankivsk region.

The results of the study of the archaeological monument of Tagar culture (VIII-III centuries BC) "Temple of time", located in Northern Khakassia, are described. The main purpose of the study was to obtain natural scientific evidence of the monument calendar significance, as well as that its construction was performed in accordance with the light-and-dark picture during the sunrise and sunset at the equinoxes and winter solstice. To modeling the annual illumination of the monument by the Sun, azimuth orientation, geodesic measurements, and astronomical calculations were performed. In addition, in order to clarify the details, the simulation of a solar beam with a total station laser beam was applied. The modeling results were confirmed by direct observations during the autumnal equinox and winter solstice, when photographs were taken with recording of the shooting moments for subsequent astronomical calculations. As a result, the importance of astronomical research methods and direct observations on astronomically significant days of the year in the study of such archaeological objects is justified. Using astronomical calculations, it is proved that the light-and-shadow picture observed on the monument in modern times is almost identical to the light-and-shadow picture in the Tagar epoch. Suggestions have been made for using laser scanning to model a light-and-shadow picture. The monument "Temple of Time" is a unique object, it is a complex spatial structure in accordance with the illumination on astronomically significant days of the year. The direction of the main axis of the monument to the rising Sun at the winter solstice is made with an error of no more than 10, which indicates that the ancient organizers of the monument knew astronomical dates well and solved a direct problem by direct observations of the Sun. Measurements, calculations, modeling and field observations confirmed the assumptions about its calendar significance of the monument's discoverer, doctor of historical Sciences V. E. Larichev.

The pinyon-juniper woodland is a wide spread vegetation type in the southwestern United States that is estimated to cover from 30 to 40 million hectares. They pinyon-juniper vegetation provides a source of fuel, building materials, charcoal, pine nuts, christmas trees and folk medicines. About 80% of the acreage is grazed by livestock and wildlife. In Utah, this ecosystem is a large component (62,705 km2 or 28.6%) of the vegetation. Particularly in the Utah National Parks, the pinyon-juniper woodlands valued for their watershed, aesthetic and recreational values. Over the past several years extensive foliar damage to Utah juniper (Juniperus osterosperma (Torr.) Little) has been observed in the Natural Bridges National Monument. The characteristic pattern is for the distal foliage to become chlorotic and die. Mortality progresses along twigs until whole branches or even the entire tree dies. Reports of similar foliar damage has been reported in Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Park, Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado National Monument, areas near Cedar City in southwestern Utah and in eastern Nevada, which would indicate that the foliar damage is a widespread problem. The cause for the foliar damage is unknown. The loss of juniper trees in the national parks in southern Utah would have a dramatic ecological impact and would be an aesthetic blight in the parks. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the cause of the die-off of Utah junipers and suggest management options concerning the juniper die-off problem.

Full textAbstract:
Natural disasters have become more frequent and intense over the last decade mainly as a result of poor water and land management. Cultural sites and monuments are extremely vulnerable to natural disasters, particularly floods, while mitigation measures and protective infrastructure are difficult to construct within such areas. In the present study, the precipitation trends of the recent past and over the next 80 years were analyzed for the old town of Corfu (UNESCO World Heritage Site) in order to identify potentially significant changes that may affect the flood risk of the area. Moreover, a multi-criteria analysis using GIS software was used to identify high flood hazard zones in this living monument in order to propose specific mitigation measures that are in line with the characteristics of the site. The main effort in this study was to find a methodological approach for a fast but reliable assessment of future changes in the flood risk of historic monuments without the need for a hydrodynamic model and with a limited amount of locally based data. With the selected approach, a good indication of the potential changes in flood risk was provided, according to climate scenarios and simple, physically-based geostatistical models. The results indicate that no significant changes in the flood risk were found for the future climatic conditions, and the identified flood-prone areas will remain approximately the same as today in this particular historic monument. The uncertainty that is included in this output originates mainly from the inherent errors in climate modeling and from the non-high temporal resolution of the data.
