“…They note that the program on sustainable urbanism is necessary to overcome the challenges with which modern cities, their economy and ecology face. The authors believe that pedagogical efforts in this direction can significantly improve the sustainability of cities around the world, which is especially necessary for South-East Asia [2]. In particular, their research shows increasing critical competencies even in short courses on sustainable urbanism (Fig.…”

“…The method of pedagogical experiment was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the integrative method and the method of complementarity in the educational process for development of dialectical thinking in students. A pedagogical experiment is a purposeful systematic reproduction of the educational process elements and its evaluation on the basis of a prefabricated plan [19]. The advantage of pedagogical experiment over other methods of scientifi c research is that it helps to establish the nature of links between various components of the educational process, between factors, conditions and the results of a particular quality formation, to test hypotheses aimed at resolving contradictions that emerge in teaching and educational process.…”

“…In order to resolve these contradictions, a pedagogical experiment was conducted within the framework of the research that has made it possible to identify features of dialectical thinking development in students and specifi cs of integrative concepts formation in the process of studying the academic disciplines 'Modern Natural Science Concept' and 'General Physics', to determine the teaching performance in these disciplines in terms of cross-curriculum communications as a factor of knowledge complementarity. The use of pedagogical experiment as a basic research approach is conditioned by the fact that the problem under investigation lies predominantly in the subjectivist plane, that is, at the level of its perception by an individual [19]. Pursuant thereto, a method based on judgmental evaluations of respondents was chosen as the research approach.…”

The issue of improving the higher education quality within the framework of gnostic approach is updated in the article against the backdrop of dynamic scientifi c and technical process development and globalization of economic and social development. The purpose of the article is to develop a structural and logical approach to ensuring dialectical thinking development in students using integrative approach and complementarity method in the process of instruction. A low level of dialectical thinking in students has been revealed as a result of a pedagogical experiment in higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation. Principles, criteria and conditions for improving methodological support have been developed and substantiated through the example of such academic disciplines as 'Modern Natural Science Concept' and 'General Physics' with the aim to provide cross-curriculum communications and to form integrative concepts. A system of criteria for integrative concepts formedness in students has been reasoned with the use of special exercises of interdisciplinary refl exive supplementary type in the process of instruction. A problem-based developmental programmed exercise aimed at development of dialectical thinking in terms of the above academic disciplines has been elaborated using the complementarity method. Criteria for dialectical thinking development in students have been substantiated. The effectiveness of implementation of the proposed recommendations for the integrative method and the complementarity method application in higher education has been assessed.

“…Thus, accelerating the growth of the Metropolitan suburbs of Mamminasata in the future, it is very important to be oriented towards sustainable development. The local improvement of ecosystem services provided by constructing green infrastructure, or the rigid spatial restraint created by urban growth boundary and infrastructure will require holistic comprehension and actionable approaches to the city as the nexus of environmental context, built infrastructure, and human communities [74,75].…”

Metropolitan Urban Mamminasata South Sulawesi, Indonesia as the object of study is explored in the core-peripheral spatial interaction towards the formation of suburban service centers. The problems raised in this study are (i) is there a relationship/correlation between spatial integration, spatial interaction, and urban agglomeration to the formation of urban activity systems and (ii) how the formation of urban activity systems works as a determinant of economic growth, land use change and environmental quality degradation towards sustainable development in the metropolitan city of Mamminasata. Comparative studies of suburban areas have been carried out over three time periods (2001, 2015 and 2019). Data elaboration on observations, surveys and documentation is done to describe urban dynamics in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects. Path analysis is used to address direct effects, indirect effects, differences, and dependencies between urban elements. The gravity model is used to analyze the spatial interactions of the core city with the periphery. The study results show that spatial integration, spatial interaction and urban agglomeration have a positive effect on the system of urban activity and economic growth in the outskirts of the Mamminasata Metropolitan area. The results of this study recommend policy makers and urban planners that land use change, spatial integration and urban spatial interactions on the spatial scale of metropolitan cities to require the implementation of sustainable development concepts oriented towards saving the environment, ensuring fairness in economic access and creating social cohesion, in line with meeting national Metropolitan city development targets by 2030.
