Conceptual Foundations of Methodology in the Creation and Development of a Class of Natural-Technical Systems

The purpose of the research is the scientific substantiation of the conceptual foundations of the methodology for the creation and development of a class of natural-technical systems (NTS) as part of a natural component in the form of a “Natural environment” (“NE”) in the spatial limits of a river basin geosystem, where quantitative and qualitative indicators of water runoff (surface, underground), “Technogenic component” are formed in the form of various types of hydraulic structures (HS) and related buildings, referred to as the “Object of activity” (“OA”) and the social component—the “Population” (“P”) living in the zones of influence of “OA”, which in the systemic understanding are interconnected, interacting and interrelating (III) in the processes of using water resources in various technological schemes of water consumption and water use of economic and other activities. The relevance of research on the creation and development of the methodology of the NTS class “NE-OA-P” is determined by the need to study the processes of formation of orderliness between natural, man-made and social components and integrity as a management mechanism to ensure the preservation of development, and through development—ensuring the preservation of the dominant role of the whole, as part of the system, which becomes achievable by creating a methodology for assessing the impact of the technogenic component “OA” with its elements on the natural “NE” and social “P” components in the space and time of the river basin geosystem.
