The transition of the countries in the world to a new paradigm of balanced economic, social and ecological spatial development involves the strengthening of the humanitarian aspect._x000D_
The population’s readiness and understanding to preserve and maintain the living environment are important. The Institute of Geography of NASU has created an interactive atlas “Population of Ukraine and its natural and cultural heritage”. The mapping of complex and long-term processes of mutual influence between the population and its natural and cultural heritage has been carried out in it._x000D_
The Atlas consists of separate chapters which are: Introduction; Ukraine in the European humanitarian space; The population of Ukraine as a subject of natural and cultural heritage formation (from the Paleolithic to 2020); Natural and cultural heritage; Protection, preservation, restoration and use of natural and cultural heritage; Information resources._x000D_
The framework of Atlas solutions includes 8 patterns and the framework of the Atlas architecture. The Atlas contains 5 GB of diverse information that is focused on 98 vector maps, texts and photos._x000D_
Informational support of plans for economic and social development at the state and regional levels has to be based on the Atlas developed which is a resource of important information about Ukraine. Its use will help to maintain the balance in the direction of society’s humanization._x000D_
Indirectly, through the development of tourism, the Atlas may promote the creation of new jobs in the regions. It is a source of knowledge for the population and provides methodological and information content for the study in educational institutions._x000D_
The Atlas’ influence on territorial identity preservation is important. In the conditions of war which lead to significant damage to heritage this study is also the basis for further expert evaluations and preservation of information regarding the losses suffered by different regions as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
