Reproduction circles in the village living space

Бесплатный доступ

The article deals with the reproduction of the main elements of the rural living environment from the point of view of reproductive circles, conditioned by the existence of man in space and time. The effectiveness of these circles depends on the change in the quality of actors, their composition and the conditions in which vital activity is taking place. The rural life environment in this respect is characterized by unevenness. In some cases, the reproductive cycle from year to year or from one decade to the next passes with an increase in positive results, demonstrating a progressive trend, in others there is a return to the starting position with those or even worse indicators. The approach taken to analyze the rural habitat allows us to identify areas of unfavorable reproduction and to identify the leading factors affecting their stagnation. The author relies on the axiomatic position that the development of society takes place in a spiral, when the return of the coil to the starting point occurs at a higher level of development. This provision is applicable to the agro-sphere of society. However, the reproductive circle with an upward trend may be blocked if the main elements of it remain unchanged, and even worse, are degraded. By the present post-Reform time, several reproductive circles have formed in the living space, interacting weakly with each other. Agricultural enterprises are relatively small in terms of the number of personnel, which consists mainly of representatives of the senior (preretirement) group and the staffing is being restored only partially due to the local rural community. The institutional production sphere is separated from the worries about the social support of the village, that is, it functions in a selfsufficient reproductive circle, which already, and even more so in the long term, hinders its ascending development. Due to the imbalance in the docking of the industrial and social spheres of the village, and also for a number of other reasons, several reproductive circles have developed in the living environment in parallel. A group of actors has been formed that assess themselves as independent and independent subjects of life who, in ensuring well-being, are oriented not to the opportunities of local employment, but to the prospects for the need for labor outside the village. They are joined by a group of successful farms in rural areas, the motives, roles and human capital of which are focused on survival without intermediaries, be it agricultural enterprises or municipal bodies. The model of reproduction of these groups is also strengthened by the election and realization of the life prospects of the graduates of rural schools, who for the most part are oriented toward the city. Trend on the weakening of the population is realized in reducing the share of rural youth, the group of childbearing age and increasing the proportion of people older than the third age. In conclusion, the author concludes that, despite the tendency of the separation of the reproductive process into autonomous strategies of actors, the prerequisites for a more mutually consistent self-movement remain. Their essence is the reliance on the prospects of modernizing the entire village living space of the, which does not exclude the potential of peasant traditions, understood not as something backward and obsolete, but as a phenomenon capable of adequately responding to modern needs and challenges.
