The expediency and productivity of the semantic expansion of the concept of "landscape" to the concept of "landscape" is shown (in the Romanesque version it was introduced into the geography of M. Ronai in 1976). Landscape allows you to think about the landscape and those phenomena that are described, modeled, interpreted using the category "landscape," in contexts and aspects that go beyond its traditional interpretations. This makes the epistemology of geography deeper and more flexible, and also allows for the methodologically correct and methodically effective assertion of geography among the basic sciences.
