Considerable reserves of vitally important natural resources may be found, but their exploitation is completely determined by various SCS-s participating in a mixed region’s assimilation, and is an external business for the particular mixed region itself

1.8. Ability to generate ecological crises as a steps

in assimilating own socio-cultural space

Socio-cultural system

Possesses the ability to generate ecological crises within local spaces during process of their assimilation, in order to move then further, onto new territories with better natural and living conditions - in order to generate ecological crises there afresh. Such is, as a matter of fact, strategy of an initial socio-cultural assimilation of territories within utmost possible limits. After the boundaries of the socio-culturally assimilated spaces are defined, ecological crises lose their socio-cultural meaning and are not generated any more

Socio-cultural domain

There is no such ability. SCD-s do not generate ecological crises as a step in a space assimilation, and are inserted into their natural environment with maximum correctness. The reason is not so much their highly-developed culture, but their inability to expand own socio-culturally assimilated space

Socio-cultural buffer zone

Socio-culturally oriented ecological crises may take place in a buffer zones, but they are never aimed to expand their own socio-cultural space and / or assimilate alien territories, and are results of periodic fluctuations of a buffer zone’s territory influenced by neighbouring SCS-s. The reason of such ecological crises may be, for instance, next in turn replacement of a dominating neighbouring SCS. Similar ecological crises are generated not by buffer zone itself, but by one of neighbouring SCS-s within a buffer zone’s space as a sort of socio-cultural provocation aimed to achieve certain purposes of a certain SCS

Mixed socio-cultural region

Socio-culturally oriented ecological crises may take place in a mixed regions, but they are never aimed to expand their own socio-cultural space and assimilate alien territories, and are results of periodic changes in the SCS-s’ power arrangements in the region. The reason of such ecological crisis may be, for instance, next in turn replacement of a dominant SCS

2. SOCIO-CULTURAL TIME

2.1. Stable existence during historically considerable intervals of time

Socio-cultural system

Stable existence during historically significant intervals of time is a characteristic of SCS. Its life terms are amounted to 2500 years and more

Socio-cultural domain

Stable existence during historically significant intervals of time is also a characteristic of SCD-s. Their life terms are amounted to 2500 years and more, too

Socio-cultural buffer zone

Usually formed as a result of neighbouring SCS-s interaction and competition. As a rule, period of a buffer zone existence is lesser than any of the neighbouring SCS-s. Life term of the buffer zone as a specific socio-cultural formation may amount to 1000 years and more

Mixed socio-cultural region

Heavily depends on specific (historical) conditions of the region colonization. As a developed formations may exist for a very long while without any changes. Life term of a completely formed mixed socio-cultural region may amount to 2000 years and more

2.2. Complete cycle of the own socio-cultural space formation which includes

series of successive stages determined by the inner logics of the space evolution

Socio-cultural system

Possesses a complete cycle of the space socio-cultural assimilation. Researches reveal seven principal stages of socio-cultural evolution, and every stage may consist of a few particular phases. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS

Socio-cultural domain

Has no such cycle. As distinguished from SCS, SCD does not work regularly at transforming its socio-cultural space. Its homeland is static during historically considerable periods. As a result of a favourable outside situation, SCD’s controlled space may change drastically, but always for a very brief time and without any socio-cultural assimilation / transformation of the territory that falls under such temporary control

Socio-cultural buffer zone

Has no complete cycle. Everything depends on the outside situation that determines the buffer zone’s behaviour. Buffer zone itself does not work regularly at expanding and transforming its socio-cultural space. As a result of a favourable outside situation, space controlled by particular buffer zone may change drastically, but always for a (historically) brief time and without any socio-cultural assimilation / transformation of the territory that falls under such temporary control

Mixed socio-cultural region

Has no complete cycle. Everything depends on the outside factors and situation that determine specific behaviour of the mixed socio-cultural region. It’s unable to work regularly at expanding and transforming its socio-cultural space at all

3. CONTACTS WITH OUTER WORLD

3.1. Correlation of inner logics and outer factors.

Ability to resist socio-cultural pressure from the outside

Socio-cultural system

Inner logics always prevail over outer factors which are only used in case of strict correspondence with the SCS’s evolution internal order. Even successful external spatial expansions are always used for the own inner purposes. This is the unique quality and indication of SCS

Socio-cultural domain

Does have some inner regularlities which may sometimes prevail over external factors, but in many cases namely outer factors prove to play decisive role in determining ways of the SCD’s evolution. Pressure from the outside does not usually lead to annihilation of the SCD’s socio-cultural specifics, but its resistance to the outside influences isn’t sufficient
