PROSPECTS FOR THE USE OF ETHNO-CULTURAL RESOURCES OF THE LVIV REGION IN SCHOOL LOCAL GEOGRAPHY AND TOURISM WORK

Abstract

The article substantiates the important tourism and regional significance of ethno-cultural resources, which are considered as a combination of cultural heritage of ethnic communities and groups. Revealing the interconnectedness of various historical and geographical phenomena on the examples of the native area, the distribution of ethnocultural resources reflects important features of the geography of the native land. In practice, ethno-cultural resources are actively used in school tourism, which contributes to the formation of students skills in independent collection and processing of geographical information. Given the geographical position and historical and political preconditions, a large number of ethno-cultural resources created by ethnographic groups of the Ukrainian people and ethnic minorities (Armenians, Poles, Jews, Germans) are concentrated in the Lviv region. Research has shown that the distribution of ethnographic resources in the Lviv region is differentiated by 5 ethnographic regions, each of which stands out with its own characteristics of traditional material and spiritual culture. At the same time, cultural monuments created in the course of the life of ethnic minorities are mostly located in cities. The article concludes that the geography of ethno-cultural resources reveals different stages of settlement and political development of the Lviv region, which can be used when studying the geography of the region in secondary school. Centers such as Lviv, Drohobych, Sambir, Stryi, Chervonograd, where local history and ethnographic museums are located, as well as versatile cultural attractions, are especially important in the development of school tourism.
