Abstract

Polysystem methodology elaborated for comprehensive analysis of geographicalobjectsconsiders them as interrelated systems of different types. Each systematicinterpretation of aterritorial object is formed as a theory describing this object with a speciallanguage used for constructionof a certain type of models. This paper proposes new methods to developgeographicalmodels and describes several types of systematic models constructed by thesemethods.
