The ideas of managing cultural diversity in the modern world are embodied primarily in the concepts of multiculturalism and interculturalism. Multiculturalism can be defined as ideology, politics and social discourse, which recognizes the legitimacy and value of cultural pluralism, the significance of the diversity of cultural forms. In its turn, this allows to form a single sociocultural space based on the tolerant coexistence of traditional ethnic or national cultures. Interculturalism is based on the dialogical paradigm of coexistence of different cultures: recognition of the heterogeneous nature of cultures, acceptance of the thesis of unity in diversity, identifying cultural diversity as a counterweight to assimilation. On the one hand, universal values create the platform of intercultural interaction within the framework of interculturalism, while on the other hand, there are civic culture and responsibility of ethnic groups for their society. Interculturalism is described as a life resource of a modern multiethnic city, a sociocultural capital that can multiply. Multiculturalism is aimed at preserving minority cultures that causes the conservation of the situation, and interculturalism provides an active and positive dialogue of different cultures with the aim of mutual enrichment. The sociological survey was held in the polycultural Ukrainian city of Melitopol, which has been applying policies and practices of interculturality since 2008. The aim is to analyse the interrelation of interculturality and sociocultural capital. The results indicate that ethnic communities are sufficiently integrated in public space and they are positively perceived by the city community. Therefore, interculturality is a significant resource of sociocultural capital accumulation which can be converted in political capital and it can consolidate a city community.

现代世界中管理文化多样性的思想主要体现在多元文化主义和跨文化主义的概念中。多元文化主义可以定义为意识形态，政治和社会话语，它认识到文化多元性的合法性和价值，文化形式多样性的重要性。反过来，这又允许基于传统民族或民族文化的宽容共存，形成一个单一的社会文化空间。跨文化主义的基础是不同文化共存的对话范式：认识到文化的异质性，接受多样性统一论，将文化多样性确定为同化的平衡点。一方面，普世价值观在跨文化主义的框架内创造了跨文化互动的平台，另一方面，存在着公民文化和种族群体对社会的责任。跨文化主义被描述为现代多民族城市的生命资源，这是一个可以繁衍的社会文化之都。多元文化主义旨在保存导致局势得到维护的少数族裔文化，而跨文化主义则是为了相互充实而对不同文化进行积极积极的对话。这项社会学调查是在乌克兰多元文化的城市梅利托波尔（Melitopol）进行的，该城市自2008年以来一直采用跨文化性的政策和实践。其目的是分析跨文化性与社会文化资本之间的相互关系。结果表明，少数民族社区已充分融入公共空间，城市社区对少数民族社区持积极态度。所以，
