Abstract

The article represents an attempt of creating and testing an interdisciplinary methodology of forming a topological concept of human environment as a complex system. Topology as a methodological matrix contains a potential of illustration and analysis of evolutionary changes of system objects in the social and humanitarian knowledge which is not fully realized. Macro-models developed on its basis give an insight into the regularities of the complex system dynamics with regard to its most significant, fundamental parametric properties.

The models of the evolution of human environment presented in the paper are focused on the issue of mankind technical and technological progress and the concomitant changes.

The most significant finding resulting from the study is the thesis concerning the necessity of forming a network structure as the most appropriate scenario for the future of the evolution the hierarchical form of human environment.
