Kostromyts'ka G. Transformation of Symbolic City Space (on Material of Simferopol)

The thesis is devoted to cultural analysis of transformations of symbolic city space. On the technique proposed in the research, the current space of Simferopol is analyzed. On the material found that each new stage of the transformation of symbolic city space accompanied by displacement of a number of existing symbolic landmarks from the center to the periphery (dominants lose importance), as well as the emergence of symbolic dominants (often - completely new, rarely - the movement of old symbolic landmarks from the periphery to the center). The proposed algorithm is fixing the image of the city as a symbolic text which is transformed historically and at the current stage, allowed to characterize modern symbolic space of Ukrainian city.
