AĞRI İBRAHİM ÇEÇEN ÜNİVERSİTESİ KAMPÜS BİLGİ SİSTEMİ

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.

Assessment of the water quality in the Morača River basin (Montenegro) using water quality index

Author(s): Miroslav Doderović,Ivan Mijanović,Dragan Burić,Milan Milenković / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

In this paper, the water quality of the Morača River and its main tributaries (the Zeta and the Cijevna) were analyzed, using the Water Quality Index (WQI) methods. Data from 12 hydrological stations (HS) from 2010 to 2018 were used. The analysis included ten parameters of physic, chemical and microbiological water quality: oxygen saturation, BOD5, ammonium ion, pH value, total nitrogen oxides, orthophosphates, suspended solids, temperature, electrical conductivity and coliform bacteria. Calculations for all 12 HS were made using the Serbian Water Quality Index (SWQI). The results of the research showed that the general situation is not discouraging, because the SWQI values ranged from 73-97, which according to the categorization of water quality corresponds to the classes good, very good and excellent. The only exceptions were the two measuring stations in the lower course of the Morača River (City Collector and Grbaci). During the entire observed period, the water quality was the worst on the profile of the City Collector (SWQI between 39 and 71) on Morača River. Also, downstream on Morača River, on HS Grbavci for 2015, the average annual value of SWQI was 70, which according to the gradation corresponds to the class of poor quality. The biggest sources of pollution were municipal wastewaters, followed by agricultural activities and illegal garbage disposal both along the stream and in the river itself. It follows that the lower part of the Morača River was the most polluted in the observed basin. This is a serious problem, especially since it is a part of the Morača River that flows through the most populated and most agriculturally active parts of Montenegro (Podgorica, Zeta Plain, Lješkopolje). Therefore, it is necessary to take adequate measures as soon as possible, which primarily relate to the introduction of wastewater treatment technology and to educate population about the importance of river water conservation.

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.

ASSESSMENT ON THE IMPACT OF THE TRIPURA EARTHQUAKE (JANUARY3,2017, MW= 5.6) IN NORTHEAST INDIA

Author(s): Jimmy Debbarma,Jatan Debnat / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

The northeastern part of the Indian subcontinent, considered as the most active seismic zone of the Indian subcontinent, was hit by an earthquake of Mw5.6 on January3,2017. The epicenter of this earthquake was Kanchanbari located in the Dhalai district of Tripura. The present study aims to assess the environmental and socio-economic impact of this earthquake in the vicinity of the epicenter. To assess and determine the level of damage, the affected areas were visited during the first week of the 2017 earthquake. Various Government offices were also consulted to acquire data on damages caused by the earthquake. Moreover, Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (RS & GIS) techniques were applied to address the influence of this earthquake on bank erosion. During the field visit, the striking features of soil liquefaction generated by the earthquake were observed in the flood plain area of the Manu River. Landslide, with three casualties in India and the neighbor Bangladesh, and damages of infrastructure were also reported. Additionally, an assessment of the bank erosion study revealed that the rate of the post-earthquake bank erosion increased to 592%, compared to the pre-earthquake bank erosion within the study length of the Manu River. The findings highlighted that the impact of this earthquake is minimal. However, the seismotectonic features and observation of the liquefaction within the risk zone of the earthquake indicate a possible significant threat for the future.

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.

Balneoclimatology - where to?

Author(s): Sînziana Călina Silişteanu,Dumitru Mihăilă,Gabriela Dogaru,Petruț-Ionel Bistricean / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

The beneficial effects of natural healing factors (mineral or thermal waters, mud, topoclimate and microclimate) have been known ever since antiquity. In our country there are proofs of the presence and effects of mineral/ thermal waters ever since the Dacian period. They used mineral waters for therapeutic purposes or for their healing effects. The first doctor in Dacia Felix was Marcus Valerius Longinus. The use of mineral and thermal waters continued during the Roman period, but also after the departure of the Roman legions from Dacia. In the Middle Ages the use of natural healing factors was in profound decline, but the interest in balneology on our territory was reborn since the 18th century. The beginning of the scientific stage of balneology was marked by studies of mineral waters and coincides with the middle of the 19th century. Most scientific studies appreciated internationally were conducted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Thus, the Society of Medical Hydrology and Climatology was established in 1922. Its activities were carried out from 1922 to 1943, then from 1943 to 1946 it was called the Romanian Balneoclimaterical Society having Professor Sturza as the President. Under the patronage of this society was also printed the magazine of the society called 'Balneoclimaterical Magazine'. In 1924, Professor Teohari organised the Balneology Institute in Bucureşti. He was the founder of the Romanian modern balneology by introducing experimental research whose results were published in the Bulletin of the Balneology Institute. In 1949, the Institute of Balneology became the Institute of Balneology and Physiotherapy. Unfortunately, at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, balneology started to be slightly in decline. However, in recent years there was revival of interest in balneology, materialized through a large number of published studies, restoring spas and inserting them into the spa circuit, increasing spa flows. As we know our balneary past, it is our duty to continue tradition and to use correctly the spa resources that are so numerous and so valuable in our country.

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).

BOTRYCHIUM MULTIFIDUM (S. G. GMEL.) RUPR В ЕСТЕСТВЕННЫХ И ТЕХНОГЕННЫХ МЕСТООБИТАНИЯХ НА СРЕДНЕМ УРАЛЕ

Author(s): Margarita A. Glazyrina,Elena I. Filimonova,Natalia V. Lukina,Svetlana S. Fateeva / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 6 (167)/2017

The purpose of this work is to study the spatial and age structures of cenopopulations, as well the morphological parameters of individuals and mycorrhizas of the roots of Botrychium multifidum (S. G. Gmel.) Rupr, (Botrychiaceae Horan.) growing on the industrial lands of the Middle Urals (the ash dump of Verkhnetagilskaya power station, the dam of the Shuralino-Yagodnoye gold deposit) and in the natural forest community (the forest park “Yugo-Zapadny”, Yekaterinburg). B. multifidum – a relic fern, meadow circumboreal species, is listed in the Red Books of many regions and republics of the Russian Federation. This species is rare in the Urals; it disappears due to the disturbance of natural habitats. It is shown that cenopopulations of B. multifidum in plant communities that are formed on industrial dumps are normal, incomplete (sprouts, middle age sporophagous and aging sporophytes are not found); virginyl sporophytes prevail at the ash dump of VTGRES and at the dam of Shuralino-Yagodnoye deposit of gold, and in the forest park – species of immature age. The analysis of age indices, effectiveness and recovery showed that on all sites the cenopopulations in focus were young. It is shown that in the studied communities, B. multifidum grows in groups. Morphological parameters of sporophore sporophytes depend on cenotic and edaphic factors. In the roots of B. multifidum, mycorrhizas of Paris-type, represented by intracellular coils of hyphae, hyphae and vesicles, was found in all of the investigated cenopopulations.

Author(s): Kemal, M. Taner Kıranşan, Şengün / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 14/2017

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.
