Brief description of Rakhiv district Rakhiv district, administrative-territorial unit in the southeast part of Transcarpathia region, is located in the highest part of Ukrainian Carpathians. The population here is 91 726 people (as of August 1, 2013). The area is 1892 km ². Rakhiv city is the center of the district. Pic. 1 - Map of the Rakhiv district 3 Terrain Rakhiv area is located in the most high-mountainous part of Ukrainian Carpathians. Internal Gorgans1 rise in the north part, Svydovets - in the west, Chornohora (the mountainous parts of Polonynsky Range)2 in the northeast and Rakhiv Mountains in the south. Hoverla Mountain is the highest peak of Ukrainian Carpathians and throughout Ukraine (2061 m above the sea level). Hoverla is 40 km from Rakhiv, Chornohora array. There are five more peaks of the two-thousandths along the way: Brebeneskul, Petros, Pip Ivan Chornohirsky (Black Mountain), Rebra (Ribs), Gutyn-Tomnatyk and Menchul. The relief of highland is marked by traces of ancient glaciation with typical glacial forms – ice cars and trough3 valleys. Climate The climate in Rakhiv region is moderately continental. The period with a temperature of more than 10 °C is 147 days in total. According to "Rakhiv" weather station (430 m above the sea level), the average temperature of January is minus 4.8 °C, July – plus 18.0 °C, the average annual air temperature – plus 7.4°C. The average annual precipitation is 1212 mm; the maximum is in June-July. The winds of western and southwestern directions predominate here. With increasing altitude, the air temperature decreases, and the amount of precipitation increases. Flora and fauna Rakhiv area is the most wooded region in Ukraine. One third of the species composition of Ukraine's flora, half of the Red Book species of plants and animals 1 Gorgans - ridges system in the outer band of the Ukrainian Carpathians located in the Ivano-Frankivsk and Transcarpathia regions. 2 Polonynsky Range (also known as the Polonynskyi Beskid) is a mountain massif (a system of ridges) in the internal belt of the Ukrainian Carpathians, within the Transcarpathia region. 3 Trough (from the German. Trog) - River Valley of trough-shaped cross-section, formed by the passage of glacier. 4 of the Carpathians are concentrated here. On the rocks Blyznyts, Hereshasky, Nyenyesky, Kuziy and Pip Ivan grow several dozen plants, which cannot be found anywhere else in Ukraine, including the legendary edelweiss (silk braid). The unique forests and high-mountainous meadow systems of Carpathian Biosphere Reserve are assigned into the most valuable ecosystems on the planet and to the International Biosphere Reserves Network of UNESCO. These beautiful places are the last bastion of large predators in Europe, like a bear, a wolf and a lynx. More than 1000 species of higher vascular plants, 64 species of mammals, 173 species of birds, 9 species of reptiles, 13 species of amphibians, 23 species of fish, and about 15,000 species of invertebrate animals are protected in the Reserve. The Reserve noted 64 species and 72 animal species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine and the European Red List. Mineral resources Rakhiv region has a real ecological phenomenon and extremely powerful natural resource potential. Here are the highest peak of Ukraine – Hoverla (2061 m) and all six Ukrainian Carpathian peaks exceeding 2,000 meters above the sea level. About 68% of the region's territory is covered by high-performance forests. Here you can also meet a half of the Ukrainian Carpathians plants and animals species, which are listed in the Red Book. Rakhiv region (Rakhivshchyna) refers to areas with a high level of water availability. One of the largest tributaries of the Danube – the river Tisa – originates in the Rakhiv region. Flowing across the expanses of Europe, it gives clean drinking water to the population of Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Yugoslavia. Rakhivshchyna has extremely favorable conditions for the development of mountain skiing, and the Dragobrat mountain range can become the venue for the Winter Olympics in its parameters. “Kvasy” health resort complex, which was built on the base of mineral water containing arsenic, has only two analogues in the world. 5 Among the mineral resources promising for development there are deposits of gold, dolomite, marbled dolomite and the bottling of mineral water as well. Population There are more than 90 thousand inhabitants in Rakhiv region. The national composition is as follows: Ukrainians (hutsuls) – 83.8%; Romanians – 11.6%, Hungarians – 3.2%. Romanians live compactly in three rural councils in the south- west; two of them are mono-national (Bila Tserkva and Serednyo Vodyane villages). The Hungarians are dispersed in the district center and in several other settlements. The district is classified as demographically well off. The dynamics of the population is as follows: 1970 – 76.1 thousand, 1989 – 86, 1 thousand (+13, 2%), 2001 – 90, 9 thousand (+5, 6%), 2014 – 91, 9 thousand (+1, 1%). For 1970 – 2014, the increment was 20, 8%, for 1989 - 2014 – 6, 7%.

Industry prevails in the gross social product. Forestry and woodworking are the leading branches of industry here. Small businesses are dynamically developing in recent years. The peculiarity of agriculture in Rakhiv district is a very low supply of land. It is accounted only 0.01 hectares of arable land (while this figure is 0.14 hectares in Transcarpathia and 0.63 hectares in Ukraine) for one inhabitant of the district. The local population has been engaged in livestock farming since ancient times. Therefore, the entire high-mountainous part of the district is occupied by Polonyna farming. Exit to the pasture occurs in May and lasts until September. Polonyna(s) are the hills, opened and not covered by forests parts high in the mountains. It is here, the local residents (hutsuls) graze cattle – cows, sheep, goats and horses – for many centuries. The center of grazing here is Kolyba – the seasonal buildings (which are the home for shepherds who live and lead the farm under the guidance of their leader-shepherd. Here you can see and try the process of making various products from milk – brynza, vurda, zhentytsya. Tourism and Recreation Mild climate and contrast-expressed

  • Developing the GIS-Based Maps of the Geomorphological and Phytogeographical Division of the Ukrainian Carpathians for Routine Use in Biogeography
    Biogeographia – The Journal of Integrative Biogeography 36 (2021): a009 https://doi.org/10.21426/B636052326 Developing the GIS-based maps of the geomorphological and phytogeographical division of the Ukrainian Carpathians for routine use in biogeography ANDRIY NOVIKOV Department of Biosystematics and Evolution of the State Natural History Museum of the NAS of Ukraine, Teatralna str. 18, 79008 Lviv (Ukraine) email: [email protected] Keywords: biogeography, mesoregional division, shapefile, Ukrainian Carpathians. SUMMARY The paper introduces GIS-based maps of the geomorphological and phytogeographical division of the Ukrainian Carpathians (a part of Eastern Carpathian Mts.), which were developed for routine use in biogeography and based on the consolidation of the existing publications. The map of the geomorphological division includes 57 OGUs (operational geographic units), and the map of the phytogeographical division – 18 OGUs of the lowest rank. Geomorphological units are supported with available synonyms, which should help in work with different topic-related Ukrainian publications. Both maps follow strict hierarchical classification and are briefly discussed. INTRODUCTION Tsys (1962, 1968) published the first The Ukrainian Carpathians (UC) is part of the complete geomorphologic division of the UC. Eastern Carpathian mountain province Besides five mountainous regions, this division (Kondracki 1989), artificially delimited by the also included adjacent foothills and lowlands western border of Ukraine and covering about (Ciscarpathia and Transcarpathia) and 24,000 km2.

  • Western Carpathians, Poland)
    Geological Quarterly, 2006, 50 (1): 169–194 Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland) Nestor OSZCZYPKO Oszczypko N. (2006) — Late Jurassic-Miocene evolution of the Outer Carpathian fold-and-thrust belt and its foredeep basin (Western Carpathians, Poland). Geol. Quart., 50 (1): 169–194. Warszawa. The Outer Carpathian Basin domain developed in its initial stage as a Jurassic-Early Cretaceous rifted passive margin that faced the east- ern parts of the oceanic Alpine Tethys. Following closure of this oceanic basin during the Late Cretaceous and collision of the Inner Western Carpathian orogenic wedge with the Outer Carpathian passive margin at the Cretaceous-Paleocene transition, the Outer Carpathian Basin domain was transformed into a foreland basin that was progressively scooped out by nappes and thrust sheets. In the pre- and syn-orogenic evolution of the Outer Carpathian basins the following prominent periods can be distinguished: (1) Middle Juras- sic-Early Cretaceous syn-rift opening of basins followed by Early Cretaceous post-rift thermal subsidence, (2) latest Creta- ceous-Paleocene syn-collisional inversion, (3) Late Paleocene to Middle Eocene flexural subsidence and (4) Late Eocene-Early Miocene synorogenic closure of the basins. In the Outer Carpathian domain driving forces of tectonic subsidence were syn-rift and thermal post-rift processes, as well as tectonic loads related to the emplacement of nappes and slab-pull. Similar to other orogenic belts, folding of the Outer Carpathians commenced in their internal parts and progressed in time towards the continental foreland. This process was initi- ated at the end of the Paleocene at the Pieniny Klippen Belt/Magura Basin boundary and was completed during early Burdigalian in the northern part of the Krosno Flysch Basin.

Chornohora is the highest mountain ridge in the Ukrainian Carpathians with 6 peaks of an altitude over 2,000 m above sea level (Hoverla is the highest peak, 2,061 m a.s.l). its climate is explored less than other mountain ridges in Europe. The massif is a climatic barrier for air mass- es on NW-SE line. To describe the climate of this area data from the weather station at Pozhyzhevs- ka alpine meadow for the years 1961-2010 were used. The seasonal and long-term variability of air temperature, atmospheric precipitation and snow cover were investigated on the background of air circulation types. The results show that general features of Chornohora climate depend both, on el- Key words: evation above sea level and on air circulation.

  • Neighborhood Emergency Networks in Uzhhorod, Ukraine and Corvallis Oregon, U.S.A.: Women's Neighborhood Network and Linn-Benton Neighborhood Emergency Training
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Naomi Weidner for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthroolov presented on March 5. 2004. Title: Neighborhood Emergency Networks in Uzhhorod, Ukraine and Corvallis Oregon, U.S.A.: Women's Neighborhood Network and Linn-Benton Neighborhood Emergency Training Abstract appRedacted for privacy Roberta Hall This thesis examines two neighborhood emergency preparedness programs: the Linn-Benton Neighborhood Emergency Training(LB NET)program in Corvallis, Oregon, U.S.A., and the Women's Neighborhood Networking Program(WNNP)in Uzbhorod, Ukraine. In Corvallis, theLB NETbegan in 1996, in part out of concerns that in a large disaster the local emergency agencies would not be able to provide immediate service to all disaster victims. The program encourages the residents in neighborhoods to work together to become better prepared for natural or other disasters, and to be self- sufficient for 72 hours following an event. For this study I interviewed the organizers of 14 neighborhoods between October 2001 and February 2003. Oregon State University Office of International Research and Development used theLB NETas a model to develop a project in Uzhhorod funded by U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. TheWNNPwas funded for one year beginning in July 2000, with a one-year extension. The project included four trips from the U.S. to Uzhhorod: to conduct a needs assessment, participant selection and initial training;twoconsulting/mentoring trips; and for the project finale in April 2002. All project participants and two Ukrainian coordinators traveled to Corvallis for three weeks training in April 2001.
