Chapaev 1, Andrei V. Efanov 1*, Ekaterina Yu. Bychkova 1, Evgenij M. Dorozhkin 1, 1 Olga B. Akimova 1 Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, Ekaterinburg, RUSSIA Received 24 August 2018 ▪ Revised 25 November 2018 ▪ Accepted 7 December 2018 ABSTRACT The relevance of the problem under consideration stemmed from the need of revival of craft education system in Russia which focuses on training personnel for small handicraft enterprises, and it is also very important to identify, to preserve and to adapt it to the modern realities of pedagogical experience which was gained by the vocational education system in the past. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for development of spiritual, moral, organizational and pedagogical foundations of craft vocational education development in Russia theoretically and methodologically. The central approach to the investigation of this problem is the study and generalization of pedagogical experience which makes it possible to substantiate the tendencies of formation of a new type of vocational education in Russia. The result of the study was the substantiation of the key qualities of a master craftsman as a creative thinker and craft labour as a man-making system of knowledge and practical experience forming “multidimensional human integrity”. The statement that modern craft education should take into account the productive and transforming essence of a person as fully as possible, and thus, it should be acmeologically oriented can be considered the key conclusion.

The article is devoted to the study of the development of agglomeration processes in the subject of the Russian Federation. The research methodology is based on the theoretical principles of strategic management, regional, municipal and spatial economics. This study of agglomeration processes in a subject of the Russian Federation is based on a comprehensive analysis of legislative documents, statistical reporting data, texts of strategies for the socio-economic development of municipalities by using a combination of methods: logical, dialectical, and also causal. The theoretical foundations of the relevance of the formation and development of agglomerations are analyzed. The results of the study of agglomeration processes in the Sverdlovsk Oblast are presented; conclusions are drawn about the prevailing trends in socio-economic and spatial development. The conclusion is made about the need for competent, controlled development of agglomerations in order to ensure sustainable and balanced economic and spatial development of the region. The article is aimed at scientists-researchers, practitioners, including state and municipal officials involved in managing the development of territories and other interested parties. 1 Introduction Currently, in the process of scientific research in many countries, interregional and intermunicipal cooperation arouse interest. Of special interest is the development of agglomerations, which are considered along with the largest cities as drivers of economic growth in systems of spatial development.

The Thematic Section shows their tree species composition in two different ways. The legend is placed at the beginning of each set of maps. If you are looking for an area near a town or village Go to the Index on page 153 and find the alphabetical list of settlements by English name. The Cyrillic name is also given along with the map page number and coordinates (latitude and longitude) where it can be found. Capitals of regions and districts (raiony) are listed along with many other settlements, but only in the vicinity of intact forest landscapes.
