The purpose of the publication is to highlight the main results of the development of the first Ukrainian interactive atlas “Population of Ukraine and its natural and cultural heritage”. It was created in accordance with the Memorandum of Cooperation between the NAS of Ukraine and the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine. According to analysis of previous researches, there have been no attempts to map the complex and long-term processes of interaction between the population and its natural and cultural heritage so far in Ukraine and abroad. The Atlas provides knowledge and information about the historical stages of development of the population of Ukraine and the formation of its cultural and natural heritage in the following sections: 1. Ukraine in the European space - 3 maps; 2. Population - the subject of heritage formation - 57 maps; 3. Natural and cultural heritage - 28 maps; 4. Protection, preservation, restoration and using of natural and cultural heritage - 9 maps. The Atlas was developed using the updated AtlasSF Atlas Solutions Framework, one of the previous versions of which was used to create the Electronic version of the National Atlas of Ukraine. The modern architecture of AtlasSF allows integrating the developed atlas both in the atlas information system, and in the atlas geoinformation system of cultural heritage. All types of information resources were used to create the Atlas: maps, texts, photos, statistics. The interactive atlas contains 97 vector maps, texts, photos and tables.

Today, the study of the development of Holocene nature and its individual components within the territory of Ukraine is quite active. The research results are reflected in dissertations and monographs as well as in numerous publications. But there is no separate generalizing scientific work linking all the available information. The aim of our work was the creation and maximum filling of the spatial database according to the results of paleosoil study of Holocene deposits of the plain territory of Ukraine on the basis of the conducted researches and to highlight perspectives of the development of such database. In the course of work an unified database of paleosoil researches of Holocene deposits of the territory of Ukraine was created. We used Opensource programs for the database creation. Some criteria for the implementation of the modern paleogeographic databases have been established. The attributive structure of the main paleosoil characteristics of the Holocene period has been formed and substantiated. The following blocks have been identified to characterize the paleosoil section as an object of study: 1) spatial reference (administrative, physical-geographical, geographical coordinates); 2) information about the study of the object (the name of the scientist and the year of study); 3) characteristics of the section (used research methods, type of modern and buried soil, thickness of the soil profile); 4) dating of deposits (paleogeographic and archaeological) 5) graphic materials; 6) references. The created database made it possible to determine the current state of paleosoil studies of the Holocene of the plain part of Ukraine in the territorial and chronological context, and also determined further perspectives for its development.

Мета дослідження -показати співвідношення карт населення та демографічного розвитку у комплексних атласах України із загальною їх кількістю та карт демографічного розвитку відносно карт населення. Розглянуто відображення цих тематичних карт за методами дослідження об'єктів картографування. Охарактеризовано способи відображення явищ демографічного розвитку та населення у досліджуваних атласах. Новизна дослідження полягає в тому, що такий аналіз за означеною тематикою та способами картографування проведено вперше. O.M. Leiberiuk Institute of Geography of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT IN A COMPLEX ATLASES OF UKRAINEThe purpose of the study is to show the correlation maps of population and demographic development in the complex Atlas of Ukraine with the total number of maps and demographic development of the population relative to the card. Considered a reflection of the thematic maps by the methods of the research of mapping objects. Described ways to display the phenomena of demographic development and population in the analyzed atlases. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that such analysis at the indicated topics and ways of mapping conducted for the first time.
