CITY PHENOMENON: VALUE-SEMANTIC ASPECT

Abstract

Civilization development is closely connected with such a phenomenon as city which should be considered in various aspects: 1) morphological (spatial dimensions, architecture of buildings, their functional and physical parameters), 2) phenomenological (subjective experiences) and 3) value-semantic. Some other factors are also expedient: ascertaining of environmental parameters; formation of subjective opinions; estimating descriptions; cause and effect analysis. The dominating concept of city as "a form of territorial organization of life and activity of people" are complemented by other representations coming from various fields of knowledge.
