Abstract
Systems' ideas are organically inherent in the integrational potential of geography. Analysis of evolution of understanding of a “geosystem” witnesses for ecologization of its model, of consideration of the aspect of self-organziation and control in its models, of its open character.
Adequacy of the notion of “geosystem” for the objects investigated by geography and the methods employed by it (mapping, space methods, matter and energy cycles, statistical methods, etc.).
The need for developing methodology of studying landscapes which represent “co-creation” of amn and nature puts forward the problem of further investigation of specifics of a geosystem as an object of geographical research.
