E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted 19 October, 2006 Carpathian complex prognostic poligon has being created for testing of new methods and equipment and their implementation into the practice of seismotectonic investigations in the Transcarpathians. The polygon consists of a network of regime geophysical stations (RGS). I analyzed seismicity of the Ukrainian sector of the Carpathians. It is determined by local earthquakes and strong subcrustal earthquakes of the Vrancea zone in Romania. In this paper, I estimate the most fundamental parameters describing earthquakes: seismic energy E and energy class K=log(E) in a time window of 40 years (1961-2001). Our results show that, the E 1/ 2 plot against time may be a good tool for understanding of a local earthquake activity, although the shape of the plot is strongly influenced by extreme events. Also, we have found a correlation between seismic moment M0 and energy class K of the local earthquakes for Transcarpathian region.

The article deals with the formation and specifics of the development of museums in Subcarpathian Rus’ in 1919-1938. It defines the main centers of museum science, as well as the contribution of scientists, representatives of cultural and public societies, and the state to the collection and exhibition of natural monuments and monuments of material and spiritual culture of the region. In the article, a great attention is paid to the coverage of the history of the creation, development and functioning of the Museum of T. Legotsky in Mukachevo, the Museum of the Society `Prosvita`, the Rus’ National Museum, and others. The author reaches the conclusion that the development of museum affairs in the territory of Subcarpathian Rus’ in 1920s – 1930s was stimulated by the attention of the society and the support of the central and local authorities. Museum affairs were moved to the state level. Кey words: Subcarpathian Rus’, museum affairs, museum society, museums, monuments, protective activity After the ending of the World War I the territory of the Ukrainian Transcarpathia according to the Treaty of Saint-Germain since September 10, 1919 was included to the territories of the Czechoslovak Republic under historical name Subcarpathian Rus’.

PhD in Economics Educational and Scientific Institute of Law named after Prince Volodymyr the Great Interregional Academy of Personnel Management ECONOMIC FEATURES OF REGIONAL COOPERATION AND POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE UKRAINIAN- ROMANIAN BORDER AS THE BASIS OF COMPETITIVENESS OF TRANSBOUNDARY TERRITORIES OF THE ZAKARPATTIA REGION Summary The economic characteristics and their features of the Ukrainian- Romanian border within the cross-border territories of the Zakarpattia region as a basis for assessing the feasibility of opening promising checkpoints on this section of the state border are being researched. The existing enterprises and their capabilities, ethnic and cultural values, logistics, the existing transport system, free economic zones and parks and customs terminals of the Ukrainian-Romanian border in the cross-border areas of the Zakarpattia region are being analyzed. The characteristics of promising checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Romanian section of the state border within the cross-border territory of the Zakarpattia region are substantiated and illustrated, such as: «Khyzha – Tarna Mare», «Yablunivka – Remete (Guta)», «Tiachiv – Malyi Tiachiv» and «Bila Tserkva – Sighetu Marmației». The economic, legal, competitive, regional and cross- border components of the basis for the construction and opening of promising checkpoints on the Ukrainian-Romanian section of the state border are highlighted.

The methodological approaches concerning the river runoff mapping and the technological stages of map creation by applying the geographic information system (GIS) analytical functions are considered. The accuracy assessment of the calculation of the mean annual river runoff water based on the data from the hydrometric stations for the whole observation period was performed. The mapping reliability of the mean annual runoff and their territorial variability over the main basins in the Ukrainian Carpathians are analysed.
