socio-cultural type

socio-cultural type’s indications / qualities

1. SOCIO-CULTURAL SPACE

1.1. Relatively large areas of permanent inhabitance

Socio-cultural system (SCS)

Always possesses and controls significant territories

Socio-cultural domain (SCD)

Never comparable to the SCS’ space. As a rule, it’s much less than the territory of ane taken separately SCS, and may be quite insignificant

Socio-cultural buffer zone

Never comparable with the SCS’ space. As a rule, it’s much less than the territory of any taken separately SCS, and as the neighbouring socio-cultural systems progress, decreases to a certain modest size

Mixed socio-cultural region

May possess quite large initial area, but demonstrates persistent tendency to its gradual reduction, due to various parts of the territory assimilation into and by other socio-cultural formations - socio-cultural systems and domains

1.2. Homeland where significant quantities of its population live permanently

Socio-cultural system

Always has own homeland where significant part of its population lives continually

Socio-cultural domain

In accordance with this particular criterion, there are two types of socio-cultural domains:

1. Stable SCD with permanent homeland and permanent population;

2. Sporadic SCD, with homeland where its population may be absent for centuries

Socio-cultural buffer zone

Homeland exists, but it’s extremely changeable and unstable. Its fluctuations depend mainly on external factors, such as pressure from the neighbouring SCS-s side. Furthermore, homeland cannot be defined absolutely exactly within an entire area of enhabitance and control of this particular socio-cultural type’s population as a whole

Mixed socio-cultural region

Homeland has no definite, precise character. At the developed stage, micro-differences of the neighbouring socio-cultural enclaves’ homelands may take place. Representatives of the various socio-cultural systems and domains have own homelands within the mixed region

1.3. Ability to expand the homeland, through assimilation into it new territories

Socio-cultural system

Has the ability to assimilate the new territories into own homeland, as a rule, in regard to territories bordering with the old homeland and extended from its borders for any distance. This ability is the unique quality and indication of SCS

Socio-cultural domain

Has no such ability. Only temporary changes of the controlled space may take place. In practice, homeland never changes to grow

Socio-cultural buffer zone

Has no such ability. Homeland may hardly be defined from an entire area of permanent enhabitance of the particular socio-cultural buffer zone’s population and its temporary control. Homeland never grows as a result of new territories assimilation

Mixed socio-cultural region

Socio-cultural systems’ homelands expand to a considerable degree at the expense of transformation of the mixed socio-cultural regions’ spaces. Population of the mixed socio-cultural regions themselves does not reveal any tendencies to expand their homeland(-s)

1.4. Ability to generate complicated internal structure of own socio-cultural space,

as a response to demands from the outside (existence of an internal buffer zones)

Socio-cultural system

Has the ability to generate complicated internal structure of own space, mainly in order to protect and defend itself from other SCS-s and as a response to respective demands from the outside. This ability expresses itself in creating internal buffer zones along the borders with other SCS-s. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS
