The article refers to the settlement category of “small town” and addresses problems of small towns in Ukraine, which have arisen during the reconstruction of social relations at the turn of the 20th and 21st century. The authors analyze the current state of tourism and its prospects, distinguishing different types of tourism development, including cultural and educational (town), environmental – focused on the use of natural resources (ecotourism), and certain types of event tourism. One particular approach which can be applied in small Ukrainian towns as a way of helping them position themselves in the tourist market is the concept of “smart city.” The idea can be used to increase the accessibility of small settlements for tourists and contribute to travel facilitation. It is assumed that town management which takes into consideration the needs of tourists may have a positive effect for the country as a whole.

Living on Earth in the 21st century requires determination due to its diversity and a multitude of propositions and values. So far, a large group of people has followed a consumer lifestyle, which often contributed to environmental degradation. The power of anthropopression (i.e. man's negative impact on nature) has caused many problems related to climate change, anomalies in the world of animals and plants, but also in the organization of urban and rural life. Every person living in a certain space should strive to follow the rules that will allow him to meet his developmental needs in the following dimensions: educational, professional, social, and, above all, existential. Living in a polluted environment makes it impossible to breathe deeply, while the poor quality of water and soil also prevents us from satisfying our thirst and hunger. The aim of the article is to present the concept of a smart and sustainable city, as life in cities should be reorganized to the level consistent with the Strategy developed by the United Nations. This publication has been divided into several parts. First, basic information on sustainable development is presented due to the necessity of saving a living society in the 21st century before the planet's destruction. The next part of the article introduces the concept of environmental education and its effectiveness in pedagogical terms to indicate that this area of knowledge requires constant improvement and deepening. Then, forms of social participation are introduced as a manifestation of social capital building. After presenting the effects of cooperation, as part of research findings (qualitative research), at the end of the article, the reader has a chance to reflect on the effectiveness of his current activities for maintaining the possibility of living in a repaired natural environment. The article covers issues related to sociology and pedagogy to demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature of the above sciences combined with the field of environmental protection.
