This article discusses the analysis of the foreign literature representatives’ theoretical approaches towards studying the financial behavior and behavioral finance. The purpose of this work is to develop ideas about financial behavior, as well as to identify the similarities and differences between aspects of financial behavior and behavioral finance. The topicality of the article takes place in the insufficient elaboration of theoretical aspects of financial behavior, when in the contemporary conditions, the researchers outside of Russia started studying the concept of financial behavior and behavioral finance simultaneously in three sciences: psychology, sociology, and finance. As a result, it becomes necessary to study the specifics of financial behavior and behavioral finance. The goal of the study required a comparative analysis between the concepts of financial behavior and behavioral finance, as well as asidentification of similarities and differences. The results of the analysis show that financial behavior, being one of the types of economic behavior, is any human behavior that is related to the money management. The financial behavior is inherent in the subjects of both of the schools traditional and behavioral finance. The former, during the money management, rely on the rationality, while the latter — on the irrationality. In turn, behavioral finance is an interdisciplinary subject based on theories and methods of research from a wide range of decision-making areas, such as psychology, sociology, and finance. Financial behavior is an object of study simultaneously on several sciences, including economics, sociology, psychology, and behavioral finance among others. The similarity between financial behavior and behavioral finance lies in the fact that both concepts relate to the subject’s behavior, and they both are the subject of several areas of study, such as financial, sociological, and psychological theory.

The analysis of the terms allows us to set that unfortunately, the attempt at the legislative level to give legal determination by a concept «green tourism», «ecological tourism» or «rural tourism» remained not executed. Besides, the world's society uses the name of «geotourism». It is believed, that tourism could support or improve the geographical character of the environment. Moreover, it is based on principles, for instance, ecological responsibility (maintenance of resources and bio variety), cultural responsibility (devotion and respect are to local originality and inheritance), and synergy (association of all elements of geographical features for creation of tourist experience, what richer, than the sum of his parts, and attractive for visitors with different interests). Ukraine has great possibilities for the development of rural green tourism, in particular, as well as the Mykolaiv region. Conclusions. Taking everything into account, green tourism could provide local economic development of territorial communities. Firstly, the government must improve the laws for the green tourism sphere. Also, we need to set forth the main principles of politics there. Secondly, society should pay attention to the development of green tourism, especially for local farms or personal peasant farms. Because of them have possibilities and prospects for its development. Thirdly, society should use the innovations, which could increase the amount of tourist service. In practice, it could be gastronomy, traditional rural tourism, air therapy, in civilized mannerethnographic measures, and so on. Apart from this, local inhabitants could create the thematic villages as a regional brand. There are some examples of this - production of the special product, which is typical for local territory, or organization of unique festivals, and even production of hand-made souvenirs.

After years of vigorous development, the scale of rural tourism industry has gradually expanded throughout the country, and it has become an important means of coordinating urban and rural areas to drive farmers’ incomes and get rich. Nowadays, the level of informatization is constantly improving, the construction of smart cities is constantly advancing, the personalized demand of tourists is increasingly strong, especially the rural tourist spots scattered in the vast countryside which have a great spatial breadth, and the traditional management method can no longer meet the needs of the source objects whose main travel mode is self-driving. Therefore, only when rural tourism develops in the direction of intelligence can it successfully realize the transformation and upgrading of rural tourism industry. This paper takes a rural tourism resort in a certain area as the research object and builds an intelligent rural tourism environmental suitability evaluation system with three criterion levels: natural geographic conditions, traffic environmental conditions, and tourism spatial conditions. The weight of each indicator layer is obtained through the analytic hierarchy process, and the reclassified raster data of indicators is weighted and superimposed on the ArcGIS operating platform to obtain the evaluation result of the environmental suitability of smart rural tourism. According to the results of suitability evaluation, the most suitable area is selected as the potential area of the intelligent rural tourism environment in a certain area. According to the natural and cultural tourism resource conditions in the block, the potential block is divided into functions. A comprehensive comparison of the suitability spatial differentiation map of the smart rural tourism environment in a certain area with the suitability spatial differentiation map of each subsystem can more clearly find that the suitability score of the economic development subsystem and the basic support subsystem is a county-level village in a certain area. Among them, the suitability of the rural economic development subsystem is similar to the distribution of the suitability of the smart rural tourism environment in a certain area; that is, it is positively correlated with the suitability of the smart rural tourism environment. Therefore, improving the level of rural economic development and increasing investment in the construction of a smart rural tourism environment play an important role in improving the level of public services and infrastructure coverage.
