The Values of Geography

100%
EN
Creation and preservation of values is a drama, since every value is being created trough using (consuming) other values - your own values or( very often) other people's values. Mankind nothing receives for nothing. The foundation of the human values is the human heavy life experience in the human world, and this human world is always in change, is being always in the process of differentiation, which has been accelerated in the last centuries, devaluating past human experience, including also previous human values. When the elementary values - health, bread, fatherland for instance - operate well, they rise no problem, they are - in such cases - the normal, elementary values. But when they reveal anomalies or when they perish, then they become VALUES.

The article deals with the human values and ethical aspects as related to the sustainability and quality of life. Sustainability and higher quality of life should not only mean the simple biological survival, reducing human being to a spiritless creature or a materialistic, pragmatic and/or technocratic construct. Being inspired by the ideal of humanism and influenced by the environmental ethics, sustainable living should be the one based on harmony and on environmentally friendly satisfying of all relevant needs. Sustainable living should satisfy the human expectations, and endorse such a use of the human resources, which would not endanger the protection and restoration of the natural resources. The article deals with the above-mentioned aspects from the theoretical, as well as practical points of views, making use of the ideas coming from different research fields.

The majority in the theoretical field of modernization regards the effect of modernization as a linear process. This statement is also true for those theories which specify at least two successive processes within modernization. In this analysis the author was able to create an index to measure all the effects of modernization at once. Using the fourth wave of the World Value Survey, and with evidence from more than sixty countries around the world, he measured modernization in the GDP PPP of a particular country. With this independent variable he wanted to understand the value change - as the dependent variable - in the defined country. An index was created containing the linear combination of traditional and post-modern values as well. According to the results of the main model it was concluded that the effect of modernization on human value change is not linear but rather it has a quadratic component.

The article presents the results of the pilot study of the refined method of basic human values proposed by Shalom Schwartz (translated and adapted into Ukrainian). The methodology has greater possibilities for detailing and evaluation of human values compared to the previous version of the scale. In the modern version of the model, 19 basic values are allocated and placed on the motivational circle organized by the following principle: the neighboring values are the most compatible, the opposite ones - conflict with each other. The English version of the technique was translated into Ukrainian and tested on two pilot studies. The research method was a structured interview (face-to-face) conducted by a questionnaire survey among young people aged 14 to 34 (Ukrainian citizens). The obtained results allowed to verify the conceptual and empirical validity of each statement, which are indicators of measurable values. Indicators of quality of the model allow concluding about the best explanatory model of human values measured by Sh. Schwartz. The best quality indicators were obtained during the modification of the model using the ESEM and RI-EFA methods. The indicator has a significant statistical connection with the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents. The level of inherency and non-inherency of self-expression values differs by age: with age, the proportion of those for whom the value of self-expression is inherent decreases. The integral value of "self-expression value" has a meaningful relationship with indicators that measure the attitude of young people to political processes in the country, their participation in public life. The value of self-expression also has a significant relationship with regards being an entrepreneur or a desire to open one’s own business. There is a direct significant connection between an inherent value and desire to become an entrepreneur. The research showed that the willingness to leave the locality more often comes from those who have the inherent value of self-expression. Especially, the younger age group of 14 – 18 are more likely to leave their area. Emigrating, but with a view to return to the country, are more likely to be respondents with self-expression value. The real reason for their willingness to emigrate is the desire to emigrate because there is no real democracy and legality in Ukraine and due to military actions in the East of Ukraine.
