Abstract

The research aims to analyse the relationship between space and time in different directions, presenting the concepts and historical factors that influence these concepts. The methods used to conduct the research are questionnaire, analysis, and comparison. The proposed methods provide an opportunity to identify multiple opinions and discussions about space and time, to unite them by common features, and to make an in-depth analysis of the factors that influence them. The main results of the study are to identify the characteristic features of space and time in the country, to describe and analyse the concepts and historical events influencing them, to identify the main problems and to formulate recommendations for future generations. The conducted research has provided a deeper understanding of the significance of space and time for modern society and can serve as a basis for further study of this issue. The practical significance of studying space and time concepts includes enhancing understanding among academics and the public, developing educational programs to appreciate cultural identity, facilitating cross-cultural exchanges, and contributing to societal sustainable development.
