Geosocialinių struktūrų sampratos metodologija.

In the context of globalization geo-social territorial structures (sociotopes, sociomorphotopes, socioecological patrimonies) which can be defined and explored by social ecology and social geography are becoming increasingly important. The aim of the work is to present the concept of socioecological patrimonies or paternalized sociotopes based on the objectives set. Socioecological properties of patrimony formation were established -- a group of people whose psychological state is characterized by attachment to a particular location. Attachment occurs periodically experiencing a range of human emotions in a certain area, and place of residence within a certain radius becomes constant and highly significant, and forms local identity, which after some time becomes native land or universalized patrimony, named pattern in contemporary social ecology. The concept of paternalized sociotopes (patrimonies) helps to divide the public living space, expresses the determination of territorial identity of geosocial units and presents real social geographic cells. It is necessary to distinguish not only patrimonies sets but also classify them according to their major typological features: social acceptability, communication intensity, the stability of the structure, intensity of expression and the origin of organic quality, which would not only identify the key characteristics of these patrimonies but also allow them to predict the behavior of a variety of space and time circumstances. The paper analyzed the structure of patrimonized sociotopes, which is based on the physiological and sociological space uniting the main subjects -- the people and the social ties connecting them to the general area of residence. Given these facts, the pattern classification model was concluded, which aims to reveal the basic classification criteria. The first level contains determining whether rural or urban area is. Then the set area is analyzed under the above typological key features: positive or negative, potent or slight, steady or temporary, overtime or secluded, and, finally, naturally formed or expressly formed. In particular, it is important to identify the positive and negative patrimonies by their social acceptability as positive sociotopes can help raise public corporate angles, direction of the evolution and negative sociotopes can be important for their problems in order to increase the effectiveness of social management. This model of classification and patrimonies analysis methodology consists of significant areas in planning practice. The concept of paternalized sociotopes can help humanize and optimize spatial planning processes as structured groups are easier to influence and motivate participation, collective decision-making and promoting common development of landscape management policy. The main task could be the necessity of strengthening the geosocial research of agrarian communities and the need to make the geosocial structures become an integral part of our land management plans, projects and training of spatial planning specialists.
