Abstract. The article deals with the issue of preserving a traditional Ukrainian architectural environment under conditions of present-day construction. It has been found out that an ecological approach and landscape integration, traditional for Ukrainian folk architecture, which could become the basis for preserving its identity in future, in most cases coincide with the concept of modern organic architecture as well as modern understanding the relationship between society and nature. One of the ways to continue the Ukrainian environment identity is to apply the principles of organic architecture to the process of up-to-date construction.

Key words: architectural environment, identity, organic architecture, architectural traditions.

Abstract. Carpathian tourist traffic has been developing in its various forms since the 1960's. At first it was unorganized, after the area of the Bieszczady Mountains became popular and the renewing of the interest in timber architectural monuments – it evolved from the setting up of boy and girl scout camps in the direction of qualified tourism. Cultural tourism became its final form. The tourist trails that have been set up, including a timber architecture trail, and the introduction of the preserved timber Eastern Orthodox churches onto the UNESCO World Heritage Site List were the causative factors in stimulating this change. Unique structures found their place as parts of the open air museums, while the museums themselves started to pursue new methods of exhibition and marketing in order to raise awareness of what they have to offer. Within the main cities of the micro-region, museums that provide good conditions for the exhibition of the most precious collections of paintings, icons, sculpture and effects of folk art, were set up. We can also observe a consequent revitalization of historical structures, performed under the watchful eye of the conservation authorities. The exhibition of the region's culture could be rounded out and become more dynamic with the introduction of the promotion of the domestic multi-cultural traditions which were so characteristic of the area of Galicja and its current borderland, especially concerning the culture of the Lemkos.

Key words: heritage tourism, Carpathians, Lemko

ПІДБІР ТЕМАТИЧНИХ ДОСЛІДЖЕНЬ СТОСОВНО ЗМІН, ЗУМОВЛЕНИХ ТУРИСТИЧНИМИ ПОТОКАМИ У РАЙОНАХ, ЩО МІСТЯТЬ ПРИКЛАДИ ЗБЕРЕЖЕНОЇ ДЕРЕВ’ЯНОЇ АРХІТЕКТУРНОЇ СПАДЩИНИ, НА ПРИКОРДОННІ МІЖ ПОЛЬЩЕЮ ТА УКРАЇНОЮ

Анотація. Карпатський туристичний трафік (Польщі) розвивається в різних формах, починаючи з 1960-х років. Спочатку – неорганізований, пізніше став популярним у районі Бєщад і викликав оновлення інтересу до дерев’яних архітектурних пам’яток – туризм перетворився від організованих молодіжних таборів для хлопчиків і дівчат до кваліфікованого туризму. Культурний туризм став його остаточною формою. Створено туристичні стежки, зокрема слідами дерев’яної архітектури, а введення збережених дерев’яних православних церков до списку світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО спричинило стимулювання цих змін. Унікальні будівлі стали частиною музею під відкритим небом, водночас музеї самі почали застосовувати нові методи маркетингу та організовувати виставки для того, щоб підвищити обізнаність про те, що вони можуть запропонувати. У головних містах регіону, музеї забезпечили хороші умови для виставок найцінніших колекцій картин, ікон, скульптури й артефактів народного мистецтва. Таким чином, можна спостерігати послідовне пожвавлення історичних споруд, збереження яких було виконане під пильним оком влади. Експозиції культури регіону могли б бути цільнішими та динамічнішими зі запровадженням промування українських мультикультурних традицій, які були так характерні для регіону Галичини та його сьогоднішнього прикордоння, особливо щодо культури лемків.

Ключові слова: спадщина туризм, Карпати, лемки.

Abstract. The paper focuses on the ways of memory preservation in the architectural environment of the cities. The peculiarities of memory applications as a source of inspiration for modern Ukrainian architects in the environment of the Ukrainian cities are considered.
The article highlights the problem of memory development in the architectural environment of the city by applying the architectural and design means. The specific features of the memory use as a multidimensional category are revealed; and considered as the sources of inspiration for modern architects in the environment of Ukrainian cities which serve as a memory storing device. The research results support the hypothesis that continuous processes of memory development, from personal to the global one, occur at various levels of the city environment using the means of architecture, design and art.
Sites of memory, buildings and objects-symbols create a spiritual framework of a city. It is shown that the perception of a city as a qualitative and valuable environment by the in-groups and the out-groups occurs in the context of self-identification with the urban space, natural and architectural environment, the cultural heritage and it is inextricably linked to the multidimensional nature of memory: historical, social, urban, individual, national, etc. A historic or new urban environment is the ground for materialization of identity and memory, along with the need to preserve the environmental sustainability, safety and diversity. Modern architecture and new public spaces should enable the communities to identify themselves with it and materialize the memory, as long as architectural design work should strengthen the memory of the city.
The study investigates two major groups of Ukrainian cities in terms of preservation of urban memory. The first group includes the cities with the preserved multicultural historical heritage and preserved memory, and where the continuous activity of the establishment of social memories by the communities occurs, and under the influence of the variables of state doctrine memory, the transformation processes happen. The second group consists of the cities which lost the memory expressed in the built environment during World War II and were reconstructed with the means of typical Soviet building techniques. In Ukraine, there is still no formed politics of memory, especially where public spaces should get priority-memory objects that would strengthen and form the city memory.
The article studies the peculiarities of modern art of architecture in cities of both categories as based on our expert sociological research, analysis of publications, and surveys of their natural environment, which the author carried out in 2013–2014. These objects are analyzed in the context of the city memory and the memory layers used by the architects in their artistic work are identified. Thus, a dominant value of the memory category in modern architectural and design work manifested itself in the environment of the Ukrainian cities is specified.

Key words: memory, places of memory, quality of the environment, conservation, perception, architectural work.
