The impact of human economic activity on the environment and its irreversible changes. An interdisciplinary approach to the development of the economic system has been used in this paper due to the fact that the subject of the study goes beyond the functional economic sciences, and economics in general. The study is aimed at investigating the interaction of man, as an economic agent, and the environment. It has led to the study of research papers devoted to natural science, in particular, to changes in geological epochs, sustainable development and economic processes from the position of their influence on the environment. This allowed us to synthesize new economic knowledge about the importance of economic activity in the formation of the new geological epoch, “Anthropocene”. Based on the results of the study, the influence of human economic activity on the environment in the light of the geological, technocratic and economic development of society has been proved. The scientific results which were obtained can be used in reforming national economic systems by adapting them to leading world concepts on sustainable development.

Wealth according to the Qur'an: Distribution of current income is a very important thing. If the income distribution is not appropriate to do, then most of the income and resources would be controlled by the capitalist monopolies, resulting in many people remain in poverty despite the country having abundant resources.

Currently, geodetic support is a complex of technologies and methods that solve a wide range of problems. A significant part of geodetic support performs the functions of supporting various areas of national economic activity (for example, in the field of cadastre or sustainable development of territories). Extensive experience has been accumulated in the use and development of geodetic support and there is a need for its generalization and systematization of geodetic support methods. Geodetic support develops with the improvement of equipment and technologies. It meets the information and technological needs of the society. The author highlights the main tasks of geodetic support, which result from two concepts of the development of geodesy

The search for a methodological basis for economic development that meets the principles of sustainable development, and its transformation into real mechanisms of functioning of socio-economic systems, is an urgent problem of our time. Against this background, in less than 20 years, different concepts have been proclaimed as action programs for the economic development of nations: green, blue and circular economiсs. At the same time, the question about the interrelation of concepts of "green", "blue" and "circular" economics remains unresolved. Are these concepts complementary or alternative? Could they be implemented simultaneously? In what way they contribute to the goals of sustainable development? What is the ability of each of these concepts to put into practice progress towards sustainable development at different levels of socio-ecological and economic systems functioning? This study aims to answer these questions through the study, generalization and critical reflection of the research results of world and domestic scientists on the content and methodological principles that form the basis of green, blue and circular economics concepts. The main features, spheres, key accents and relations of these concepts are investigated in the article. The results of the analysis give grounds to conclude that with the change of "colors" of concepts aimed at ensuring the sustainable economic development, there is a transformation of understanding of the relationship between the economy and nature. There is a movement from an anthropocentrism, which, to some extent, formed the basis of a green economy built on the implementation of green technological solutions, to an understanding of the unity and interdependence of resource movements in the natural and economic system within a circular economy. A new vision of the socio-economic system, which operates on the basis of congruence with nature, changes the model based on human dominance. The proposed solutions are becoming more and more concrete – from the general policy guidelines within the Green Economy to specific mechanisms for the transformation of business models and the use of resources in a circular economics. This illustrates the paradigm shift of economic knowledge, its adaptation for sustainable resource management, policy making and support for institutional change and, in fact, gives reason to hope for the implementation of the idea of sustainable development, i.e. the harmonization of socio-economic processes within the natural constraints.

As a result of geobotanical research in a 3500 km<sup>2</sup> study area located in southern Poland it was determined that the native flora of vascular plants comprises about 1180 species, of which 46 are mountainous, 54 reach there the limit of their range, 5 are endemic, 44 threatened, 89 legally protected and many are rare in the scale of the country and region. Forests are differentiated into 17 associations and 3 communities. The dependence of the flora and vegetation on the type of habitat and human economic activity is demonstrated. Historical changes in the plant cover, mainly forest one, between the Middle Ages and today, mostly under the impact of anthropogenic factors, arę also presented.
