About article:
The emergence and intensive development of social networking services (social media) is one of the most unique phenomena of the 21st century. Social networking has
become an integral part of everyday practices. The goal of the study was to identify
spatial patterns and features of the functioning and development of social networking
services, as well as the practice of social networking, among young people in Western
Ukraine. The research was based on a survey conducted among geography students
from the universities located in the region. There are no significant intraregional fluctuations in the penetration and use of social networking services. The results revealed
a sharp dominance of three social media (Instagram, Telegram and Facebook) over
the others. The social life of students is characterized by multi-networking. Social
networking services have a variety of uses, including the most popular like communication with friends, entertainment and reading the news. The smallest deviations from
the regio-nal average values were found for communication with friends, while the
biggest differences are typical for creating own content, reading the news and communicating with people abroad.
