Abstract

The article is a theoretical overview of the problem of local identities and their level of environmental awareness depending on the criteria of territorial identification. The definition of ecological consciousness is given and its main components are listed. Territorial and territorial-motivational identification criteria are highlighted. The territorial criterion includes identification by political-administrative and landscape-geographic features. The primary sign of territorial identification for an individual is the one that carries greater value. The great significance of the natural-geographic criterion for Ukrainians is theoretically substantiated and its rapid transformation due to industrialization, as a result of which Ukraine turned into a country with a bad ecological situation, is indicated. Within the territorial and motivational criterion, the area can be considered as a resource or as a value. Local identity, which is concentrated around the natural resources of the territory, is usually characterized by an anthropocentric type of ecological consciousness of a destructive nature. Aggressive agriculture, illegal mining, environmental pollution are defined as a severe impact on ecology. Within the limits of the anthropocentric type, a mild form of impact on nature through recreational activities, which has moderately destructive features, is highlighted. Both forms of environmental consciousness are based on the masculinity of male-type identity. It is substantiated that representatives of the ecocentric type of consciousness basically rely on intangible resources. The territory of residence is considered by them as a value accompanied by significant emotional ties and rootedness. The nature of ecological behavior is determined by the features of the place of residence (nature protection zones or zones of high environmental pollution).
