Author(s): Tolga Korkusuz,Mustafa Özdemir,Şeniz Şensoy / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: Special/2016

It got easier to reach data in technologically developing World. Reaching to the information by internet world became almost the only way. However, these oppourtunities that served by globalisation cannot be felt in new institutions. Moreover, in new universities, data of new buildings constructed parallel to university’s growth and data of new openned units, are always in a change. Due to, it gets harder to reach these data. With the design of Agri Ibrahim Cecen University Campus Information System, university personnel management, facility management and especially planning for the future will be created right. In this study, Geographic Information Systems were used and data of university (personnel, student, classes, physical geographic data) were processed in ArcMap software.

Author(s): H. R. Peyrovan,S. Feiznia,S. H. Hosseini / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2009

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of physical and chemical properties of Marl's formations on sediment and runoff rates at different rainfall intensities, based on using field rainfall simulator. For this purpose, first Marl's formations (Neocene's units) were separated to five units including Halite siltstone(NgSiH), Siltstone (NgSi), Mudstone (gy1C), Gypsum mudstone (gy1CG) and Halite clay stone (gy2CH), based on physical and chemical properties. Then runoff and sediment rates were determined in each unit at two intensities (30 and 60 mm/h) using rainfall simulator. Analysis of variance and Duncan's tests showed that Halite siltstone unit has produced the highest amount of runoff and sediment rates and then the runoff and sediment rates of other subunits in decreasing order are as follows: Siltstone, gy2CH, gylCG and gy1C are 5% significant level. The trend of induced runoff and sediment rates at different times showed that in Halite siltstone and Siltstone units the runoff amounts were fixed rapidly at 2nd ten minutes. And, on the other units, the runoff amounts were fixed at 3rd ten minutes and sediment yield was increased rapidly at 3rd ten minutes.

ASSESSMENT OF THE RIVER HABITAT QUALITY IN UNDEVELOPED AREAS OF SERBIA APPLYING THE RHS (RIVER HABITAT SURVEY) METHOD

Author(s): Marko Urošev,Ana Milanović,Dragana Milijašević / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2009

Paper’s main goal is to establish “RHS reference site”, which will be the basis for future classification of river habitat quality in other regions of Serbia. River habitats in Golijska Moravica and Jerma basin have been assessed and classified by RHS method, and reference values are determined (which would serve for the next research of river habitats in Serbia). In Golijska Moravica and Jerma basin semi–natural and predominantly unmodified habitats with high diversity are dominant. If we compare HQA index of Moravica and Jerma with HQA indexes in some European countries (Austria, Germany) of same river type (small, shallow mountain rivers)we can conclude that sites in Moravica and Jerma basin have higher habitat diversity. Within river basins there are spatial differences of HQA index value. River sites in Moravica and Jerma basin have lower values of HMS index than sites in European countries. The impact of individual characteristics on total HQA and HMS score is also determined in this paper.Results of this paper are important for conservation of natural habitats, for river basin management plans and to estimate environmental impact of future water management activities in these basins.

Assessment of torrential flood susceptibility: Case study - Ukrina River Basin (B&H)

Author(s): Novica Lovrić,Radislav Tošić,Slavoljub Dragićević,Ivan Novković / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

Torrential floods are the most frequent natural catastrophic events in the Republic of Srpska (B&H). The main objective of this study is susceptibility assessment to torrential floods in Ukrina River Basin using Index Based Method (IBM) and Flash Flood Potential Method (FFPI), which operates entirely in a GIS environment. The definition and identification of influencing factors for torrential floods was the first step in the process of developing the Torrential Flood Susceptibility Model (TFSM). According to the results of these models, 54.00% and 40.86% of the Ukrina Basin area is in the categories of strong and very strong susceptibility to torrential floods. The second task was to identify the torrential basins and create the Register and the Cadastre of Torrential Basins in the Ukrina River Basin. After detailed field survey and analyses, 154 torrential basins have been identified, occupying 551.37 km2 of the Ukrina Basin. According to the validation indicators of the Torrential Flood Susceptibility Model, 138 torrential basins are in the category of strong and very strong susceptibility according to Index Based Method, while 112 torrential basins are in the same category of susceptibility according to Flash Flood Potential Index Method, which are very good results of the validation. This paper presents the significant step towards better understanding of the phenomenon of torrential floods in the Republic of Srpska (B&H). The data presented in this paper are also significant to practical issues such as integral water management projects, spatial planning, sustainable land planning and protection of soil, forest ecosystems and environmental protection, sediment management, agriculture and other human activities.

Assessment Of Vulnerability To Climate Hazards In Municipality Of Lom, Bulgaria

Author(s): Alexander Gikov,Mariyana Nikolova / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2013

An important part of the natural hazard’s risk management is the vulnerability assessment. There are many publications proposing different systems of indicators and tools for vulnerability assessment, but very few of them are dealing with the problem on community level. The study for municipality of Lom is carried out on the base of a framework for vulnerability assessment which includes the following important elements: hazard probability, exposure, sensitivity and coping capacity. In this paper we use the spatial dimensions of the areas prone to a particular climate hazard as an indicator for the level of exposure to this hazard. We introduce a measure for the system sensitivity as a function of hazard and exposure classes assigned to these areas. On the base of a system of indicators and scores for the hazard, exposure, sensitivity and capacity, is estimated a Vulnerability Index for municipality of Lom. The results from this case study show that implementation of the proposed Vulnerability Assessment Method provide reliable information for the level of vulnerability to ten climate hazards. It may be of use for different risk management purposes.

ASTROPHYSICAL ANALYSIS OF EARTHQUAKE NEAR KRALJEVO (SERBIA) ON 03 NOVEMBER 2010

Author(s): Milan Radovanović,Milan Stevančević,Dragana Milijašević,Saumitra Mukherjee,Željko Bjeljac / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2011

Results of previous studies have pointed to a satistically significant relationship between the ionospheric, ie. atmospheric disturbances and earthquakes. Also, numerous previous studies concerning the relationship between the sun's activity and disturbances in the atmosphere have been taken into consideration. Based on these indicators, we tried to determine the possible existence of a causative-effective connection between processes on the sun and the earthquake that occurred on 03 November 2010 near Kraljevo (Serbia). Based on theoretical considerations, a new model is proposed that suggests the occurrence of trigger pulse. The results have shown that at statistically more significant number of samples it would be necessary to determine potential regularity in the changes of the parameters of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), that is solar wind components (SW) a few days before and after the occurrence of strong earthquakes.

Atraktivni prirodno-geografski faktori Donjeg Vakufa i mogućnosti razvoja turizma

Author(s): Orhana Bušatlija / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 5/2008

Općina Donji Vakuf je smještena u jugozapadnom dijelu Bosne i Hercegovine u gornjem toku rijeke Vrbas. Povoljan geografski i geoprometni položaj, umjereno- kontinentalna klima i bogatstvo vodama utjecali su da ovaj prostor bude naseljen još od najstarijih vremena. Istinski procvat grad je počeo doživljavati od 70-ih godina XX. stoljeća sa početkom procesa industrijalizacije, a pareleno s tim i urbanizacije. Do 1991. godine najveći dio stanovništva je bio uposlen u sekundarnim djelatnostima, a samo manji dio u primarnim i tercijarnim. Okosnicu razvoja činila je drvna, metalna, tekstilna i industrija građevinskog materijala. Danas je situacija bitno izmjenjena, a prava slika društva biti će poznata tek nakon popisa stanovništva, kao što je slučaj i sa cijelom Bosnom i Hercegovinom. Prema popisu iz 1991. godine Donji Vakuf je imao 24.232 stanovnika, a prema nekim procjenama danas ovdje živi manje od 13.000 stanovnika. Geografski položaj, reljef, klimatski uslovi, hidrogeografske odlike i šumski kompleksi sa različitom divljači daju izvanredne mogućnosti za razvoj planinskog, lovno-ribolovnog, sportsko-rekreacijskog i ruralnog turizma. Pomenuti turistički oblici do 1991. godine bili su u primarnoj fazi razvoja, a od ovog prosjeka odstupao je samo lovni turizam.

AZƏRBAYCAN TOPONİMİYASINDA COĞRAFİ TERMİNLƏR BİR MƏNBƏ KİMİ (Abşeron regionunun toponimik materialları əsasında)

Author(s): Mahirə Abbasova / Language(s): Azerbaijani / Issue: 6/2010

The oronyms (the names of geographical objects reflecting the relief structure) constitute one of the basis branches of the Azerbaijan toponymy. The article is dedicated to the oronyms and common used and local popular geographical terms which take part in their creation. A number of local popular geographical terms in the composition of microtoponyms have been defined and their origins and meanings explained as a result of studies. While etymological analysis of geographical names the study of terms becomes the universal method. The studies show that the oronyms created on the basis of geographical terms make up the majority in territorial toponymy. More expressive reflection of the features of natural geographical landscape of the territory in oronymy and wide utilization of words used in the Azerbaijan language, dialects are the main reason of this matter.

BADANIA GEOGRAFICZNE WOBEC WYZWAŃ INTERDYSCYPLINARNOŚCI STUDIÓW NAD ROZWOJEM

Author(s): Mirosława Czerny / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

Geographical studies on the development represent a proposal for a integration of some of research topics undertaken by both physical and human geography. Their aim is to analyze the social and economic processes through the prism of natural conditions and their position in particular spaces. Such an assumption makes that the main object of the researchers are the relationships and spatial phenomena of development and underdevelopment. The concept of geography of development was introduced to geography by Jürgen Blenck in 1979. In the center of the geographical studies on development Blenck puts society that occupying a defined space of the specific conditions of the natural environment are creating a network of relations that will either lead to the development or inhibit this process.

Badania ułożenia klastów w glinach morenowych jako element rekonstrukcji kierunków transportu lodowego w obszarze między Piotrkowem Trybunalskim, Radomskiem a Przedborzem

Author(s): Lucyna Wachecka-Kotkowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 103/2015

The article presents the results of measurements of the longer axes orientation in the morainic tills at 11 sites and 12 outcrops in zones I–IV of the glacigenic forms in the area between Piotrków Trybunalski, Radomsko and Przedbórz. Zone III located in the western part of the said area corresponds to the well-recognised Widawka lobe in the Łódź region. Zones I, II and IV in the eastern part of the study area associated with the hypothetic Pilica-Luciąża lobe (S part of the Rawka lobe) and both coming from the Warta ice-sheet. Measurements of fabric clasts in zone III proved that the ice sheet has arrived from NNW and NW (330º–340º). In zones I, II, and IV transgression came from the NNE and NE (357º–52º). The lobe reached the Kamieńsk–Rzejowice–Przedbórz line. In the Łódź hump, the meridian belt between Kamieńsk and Łódź fabric tills are of various orientation interpreted as a confluence of the two lobes.

BIODIVERSITY OVERVIEW OF SODA PANS IN THE VOJVODINA REGION (SERBIA)

Author(s): Bojan Gavrilović,Miloš Ćirić,Aleksandra Vesić,Danijela Vidaković,Boris Novaković,Milica Živanović / Language(s): English,Serbian / Issue: 2/2018

Due to their specific physical and chemical properties of water and soil soda pans of the Vojvodina region represent a unique type of habitats. Salinity is a major structuring factor which strongly affects species richness. Many halotolerant, alkalotolerant and halophilic organisms, together with numerous eurytopic elements inhabit these kinds of ecosystems. In this review wetried to compile the biodiversity information from various literature sources and give the best representation of what can be expected to be found in these shallow, temporary and intermittent aquatic environments. Only a few groups of organisms are fairly well studied, while many other sare insufficiently investigated or the knowledge of them is lacking altogether. Best investigated are certain groups of algae and birds. Bacterial communities, as well as many invertebrate groups, are poorly studied or not investigated at all. Characteristic elements of flora and fauna, together with growing anthropogenic pressures make soda pans prime targets for protection.

Bioregionalism

Author(s): Jakub Potulski / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2012

The twentieth century, especially its second half, was one of unprecedented rapid change in the Earth’s environment. Environmental problems have become global in their scope. Systemic and cumulative degradation has occurred on an unprecedented scale, causing geographically differentiated outcomes that threaten the whole Earth e. The idea that the global environment is at risk due to anthropogenic activity, and that something must be done quickly to abate this, is accepted by a grooving majority of people across the world. Environmentalist “worldviews” are now more or less mainstream in the academic literature. Environmental problems do not respect the artificial boundaries of nation states as is demonstrate by contemporary phenomena such a global warming and climate change. The emergence of the Green or ecology movement has resulted in attempts to refine or reformulate spatial organization of the world. Traditional conception of geopolitical order are statecentric but the green movements try to change our perception of spatial order argue that country does not form the basis for the organization of social and political life but bioregions. Bioregion is defined in terms of the unique overall pattern of natural characteristics that are found in a specific place. The main features are generally found throughout a continuous geographic terrain and include a particular climate, local aspects of seasons, landforms, watersheds, soils, and native plants and animals. People are also counted as an integral aspect of a place’s life, as can be seen in the ecologically adaptive cultures of early inhabitants, and in the activities of present day reinhabitants who attempt to harmonize in a sustainable way with the place where they live. In the green political thought bioregions should be the basic unit of organization of global space.

Bjelovarska subdepresija kao prostor s konvencionalnim i nekonvencionalnim ležištima ugljikovodika te geotermalnom energijom

Author(s): Tomislav Malvić / Language(s): English,Croatian / Issue: 9/2015

The Bjelovar Subdepression is geologically very well defined area where are discovered proven hydrocarbon reserves. However, there are assumed as well potential hydrocarbon and geothermal reserves. Here is firstly given review of forming and application of fossil fuels and geothermal energy. It is followed by review of lithologies, depths and distributions of unconventional and geothermal reservoirs in subdepression parts where they are explored and assumed. Geothermal reservoir is studied in Mesozoic carbonates and Karpatian to Badenian coarse grained clastics in Velika Ciglena Syncline. It is the largest single structure in Velika Ciglena Syncline, where is proven geothermal water at depth more than 2500 m. However, it still is not proven and used for electricity of thermal applications. Unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs are also assumed in the same area, i.e. in Upper Badenian, Sarmatian and Lower Pannonian sediments in the thermal mature phase. Also, such unconventional reservoirs, especially of gas, could be proven at subdepression margin, in the Bilogora Zone, in structures where conventional reservoirs are not proven (Cremušina, Gakovo), but are registered oil and gas shows in weakly permeable Upper Miocene sandstones.

BLAŽENA JE VODA ŠTO RAĐA KAMENJE – POGLED NA POEZIJU STOJANA VUČIĆEVIĆA IZ KRŠKE PERSPEKTIVE

Author(s): Ivo Lučić / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 51/2018

How to entitle karstology interested in treating karst in one’s poetry? Poetic karstology? It sounds inappropriate, though it should be true. This is one of such attempts, on the occasion of thirtieth anniversary of the death of Stojan Vučićević, a poet of refined senses and exceptional poetic intuition, born in Popovo Polje. He comes into the world into a family that inherited the experience of the pastoral-agricultural culture shaped within this extraordinary karst phenomenon. The idea was to move karstology from conventional geoscience to an interdisciplinary and more holistically understood science. Basically, the poetic images and concepts of Stojan Vučićević are compared to the images and notions of karst created by karstology. This analysis, which is only one of the many possible ways, proved justified and offered various answers. The poetry of Stojan Vučićević is interwoven throughout and transversely with themes and figures of karst, in which karst specificities are an important means of poetic creation. This is most evident in the Siga (Flowstone) collection, which features particularly illustrative poems by “Siga”, “Ponornica” (Sinking river) and “Pećina” (Cave).

Bulanık-Malazgirt Basin (Muş) exists in the middle of this section and in the “Upper Murat-Van Section “ of Eastern Anatolia Region. Bulanık-Malazgirt Basin (Muş) is included Euphrates River drainage basin hydrographically and it exists in downstream of Murat River at the top of this basin. Waters of the region are discharged to Euphrates River and from there to Persian Gulf by Murat River and its arms. Hydrographic properties of the basin were shaped by climate, geology and geomorphological factors of the field. The hydrographic properties of Bulanık-Malazgirt Basin (Muş) that exist in an important position in the Eastern Anatolia Region were’nt searced geographically. The purpose of this work in this framework, The hydrographic properties of Bulanık-Malazgirt Basin are to search geographically. In accordance with this purpose, Digital Elevation Model (DEM), digital topography maps, geological maps and numerical hydrographic data field of examination were analyzed with Geographical Information Systems (GIS). In addition to analyzes related to flow quantities and regimes of rivers were made with data of the flow monitoring stations of DSİ and analyzes of underground waters were made with Malazgirt, Bulanık and Patnos Plain Hydrological Survey Report (1978). At the end of work frequency of streaming web in Bulanık- Malazgirt Basin is not the same everywhere. The basin is fertile in terms of drainage types and climate conditions are decisive on the flow-regime conditions. Plains and basin floors are fertile in terms of groundwater.

Cechy uziarnienia vistuliańskich aluwiów w dolinie Warty, Kotlina Kolska

Author(s): Mateusz Lisek,Joanna Petera-Zganiacz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 106/2017

Vistulian deposits which fill the Warta River valley were studied in the open pits Koźmin North (Kwiatków) and Koźmin (South) of the “Adamów” Lignite Mine. The studies were conducted due to the possibility of analysing fluvial deposits of a big lowland river close to the axis of the valley, in profiles which reach a pre-Vistulian background. The aim of the research was to establish the phases of deposition and hydrodynamic conditions during the accumulation. In the studied profiles, seven depositional units have been distinguished, and one of them – the thickest – was divided into seven subunits. The results of the grain size analysis were used to calculate the Folk and Ward coefficients, as the basis for interpretations of differentiation in sedimentary environment dynamics. The deposition, which took place from the end of the Middle Plenivistulian to the Late Vistulian, was characterized by cyclic, but rather mild, transitions from rather high energetic to low energetic conditions. During the Late Vistulian and Holocene, alluvium has been accumulated in two clearly distinguishing facies: channel and overbank, with high content of organic matter.

Centre-periphery Cleavage in Ukraine

Author(s): Valeriu Deciu / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

Once the former USSR collapsed, countries like Ukraine have construed their own collective identity aiming to differentiate them from internal and external “others” in a nation building process. New territorial boundaries have been established over the mental ones, founding myths and heroes have been recovered or reinstated. This process looked successful for a while until a census unveiled a center-periphery cleavage formation. Meanwhile, Kiev’s centralizing policy had to face upheaval in the eastern part, and conflict is ongoing. Scholars have speculated mostly over ethnic and historical factors as well as Russia’s active involvement as main reasons for the shift in identity self-referencing of Donbas region’s inhabitants. This paper aims at examining this center-periphery cleavage formation from another standpoint: an internal political struggle between two regional clans that are still controlling the resources and hence hold political power in the so-called Donbas region from Eastern Ukraine. Without minimizing the influence of historical and ethnic factors, we posit that many eastern Ukrainians’ choice for identity self-referencing had shifted when their region started to decrease in terms of economic and political power on the central level. And the Donbas clans losing the central power control over fighting each other is along with historical and ethnic factors one of the main reasons for that.
