British Columbia is experiencing a period of industrial expansion resulting in vastly increased populations and attendant aggravation of social and economic problems.It faces increasing and changing demands on natural resources. People are no longer satisfied with trees to meet their industrial needs. They are demanding forests to protect their watersheds, to frame their roadsides, to clothe their scenery. They want trees and forests to foster fishing and sustain and shelter wildlife. Today people have learned about recreation, and they demand trees and forests for recreational use.These new forest uses have great economic significance in addition to whatever social values they may represent. The people of the United States spend more than 12 billion dollars a year on vacation and holiday travel. More than 150 million people were attracted to American National and State parks and recreation areas in 1949, and it has been shown that Glacier National Park alone lured 36,000 visitors and a 14 million-dollar revenue to the State of Montana in that year.British Columbia is interested in this rich new market for its forests and recreation resources. Its first provincial park was set aside in 1911, and during the ensuing 40 years the Provincial park system has grown to 62 areas comprising more than nine million acres. Additional recreational opportunities exist in 36 million acres of Provincial forests.

The tourism industry is the leading and most dynamic industry in the global economy. In many countries, tourism plays a significant role in the formation of GDP, and provides additional jobs for the population. The tourism industry is one of the important structures of a number of developed countries and therefore the development of this industry is necessary for Ukraine. Greece is known for its fascinating history and natural beauties. Greece has successfully developed tourism since the middle of the last century, and therefore its experience can help Ukraine make this industry one of the main in the structure of the national economy. The article explores the experience of Greece in the development of the tourism industry and the possibility of its use in Ukraine; analyzes the current state of development of the tourism industry in Greece and Ukraine. It substantiates the possibility of using the experience of Greece in the development of the tourism industry of Ukraine. The subject of this article is the possibility of using the experience of Greece in Ukraine. The goal is to provide a scientific and theoretical justification for using the experience of tourism development in Greece in Ukraine. Tasks: to explore the current state of the tourism industry in Ukraine and Greece; to identify the possibilities of using the experience of development of the tourism industry of Greece in Ukraine. General scientific methods are used: systemic, descriptive, comparative and structural-logical analysis. The following results were obtained: based on the study, it was revealed the feasibility of using the experience of Greece in the Ukrainian tourism industry. Conclusions: the launch of specially designed programs to increase capacity, as well as improve the quality of hotels and other objects. We need to attract investors to the development of hotels, transport, theme parks and recreation areas, for this we need to make convenient and easy conditions for investment. Ukraine needs to pay attention to improving the service and tourism infrastructure, has a low level of quality, for this it is necessary to review and change state standards and requirements for accommodation facilities, which are very outdated and therefore it is necessary to change them to more modern European standards. It will be advisable to mitigate visa formalities for those countries that are now the main suppliers of tourists, as well as for those countries that may be "promising" suppliers of tourists.

The article discusses the problems of urban development of the contaminated territories of Saratov aimed at improving this territory. Particular attention is paid to the substantiation and necessity of using in sociological studies of a modern city such a concept as a socio-territorial community, which is interpreted as a form of social life, where a certain set of individuals has the same type of relationship to a specific territory. Glebutchev ravine was chosen as a contagious model polygon. Throughout almost the entire history of the city, the contaminated areas have been a zone of uncomfortable living attracting the poorest segments of the city’s residents. Urban development of these territories is associated with a number of social and environmental problems, for example, with the need for mass resettlement, demolition of illegal buildings, settlement of land disputes, etc. In the course of analyzing the materials of the author’s sociological survey of macrophotography, the bulk of the residents (65%) note the need of improving the ravine. At the same time, 30% of respondents want to improve living conditions by building a shopping and entertainment center, 45% want to see only pedestrian and transport accessibility and 35% believe that the creation of parks and recreation areas is necessary.

Работа посвящена исследованию гамма-фона в городской среде Петропавловска-Камчатского (Камчатский край), а именно в парках и зонах отдыха. Измерения мощности поглощенной дозы проводились на разработанном коллективном Томского политехнического университета (ТПУ) дозиметре с использованием органического сцинтиллятора ВС-408, который является схожим по техническим характеристикам с БДКГ-01. С целью вычисления поправочного коэффициента для перевода показаний дозиметра из имп/с в нЗв/ч был проведен ряд калибровочных измерений с точечными источниками гамма-излучения – 60Co и 137Cs. Разработанным дозиметром проводились измерения длительностью не менее 5 минут в различных районах города Петропавловска-Камчатского, особое внимание уделялось исследованию объектов техносферы из материалов, являющимися природными источниками повышенного гамма-излучения. Исследования показали, что памятник В. И. Ленину и стела «Город воинской славы» в центре города Петропавловска-Камчатского содержат граниты у их основания, которые дают завышенный гамма-фон The work is devoted to the study of the gamma background in the urban environment of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (Kamchatka Territory), namely in parks and recreation areas. Measurements of the absorbed dose rate were carried out on a scintillation organic dosimeter developed by the team of the Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU), which is a more budgetary analogue of the BDKG-01. In order to calculate the correction factor for converting the dosimeter readings from impulses/s to nSv/h, a number of calibration measurements were carried out with point sources of gamma radiation – 60Co and 137 Cs. The developed dosimeter carried out measurements with a duration of at least 5 minutes in various districts of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, special attention was paid to the study of technosphere objects made of materials that are natural sources of increased gamma radiation. Studies have shown that the monument to V. I. Lenin and the stele « City of Military Glory » in the center of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky contain granites at their base, which give an overestimated gamma background.
