On the rebalancing of socio-cultural systems by semantic profile: monitoring the quality and safety of life

Keywords: semantic profile, semantic differential, semantic profile scale, socio-cultural transformations, quality of life.

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to highlight the mechanisms of rebalancing socio-cultural systems in the context of forming indicators of quality and safety of life, which are determined by using a semantic profile. The research methodology is centred around the principle of semantic analysis, various variations of which form the potential for differentiating the semantic profile. The analysis method provides general characteristics of the quality and safety of life in a particular socio-cultural system. Discreteness is used to cover a broader socio-cultural or civilisational community. Comparison is used to differentiate the scales of the semantic profile. The results of the study indicate that the semantic profile is in demand when assessing socio-cultural transformations in the segment of life quality and safety. The semantic differential scale provides an opportunity to analyse the most common elements of human and social activity, taking into account dialectical and synergistic vectors. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the emphasis on the need to involve a set of syncretic and dialectical elements. Thus, the semantic profile serves as an effective tool for collecting and analysing data, which is used to transform the socio-cultural space in the segment of quality and safety of life.
