Ergonomic Sphere as a Scientific Phenomenon and Its Significance in Developing the Modern Socio-Techno-Natural World

Abstract

The article discusses a concept based on the assertion of the existence of an ergonomic sphere (Ergonomicsphere) directly affecting the sustainability of sociotechnical systems in the modern socio-techno-natural world. The basis of this concept lays the understanding that ergonomicsphere can act as a nucleus of sustainability contributing to a paradigm shift in anthropotechnogenic development towards a social-natural one. As a proof of the ergonomicsphere existence, the authors carry out a concept analysis of the systems ergonomicity and their elements; analyse the users’ interest in ergonomics and ergodesign in the context of search activity on the Internet. Particular attention is paid to the interdisciplinary nature of research on the ergonomics epistemology and ergonomic design in the socio-technogenic world. The developed ontological model can form the basis of the paradigm of socio-technobiosphere world development as an ergonomic core of sustainability. As a result of the article, conclusions are drawn about the need to strengthen interdisciplinary integration, which contributes to a more effective study of the modern world and transformation processes of the biosphere.
