20 Years of Operation of the Agricultural Land Market in the Republic of Moldova: Achievements and Perspectives

Author(s): Tudor Bajura,Efim Zubco / Language(s): English Issue: 33/2022

Being at the stage of 20 years of operation, the agricultural land market in the Republic of Moldova collided with several socio-economic problems, which limited (partially) the dynamic development of this market. Although in the process of identifying the market prices of agricultural land in the Republic of Moldova, different evaluation methods are widely used, the method, based on comparable prices, is the preferable one, the most often used. At the same time, this method is the most dependent on the stability of the purchasing power of the national currency - the Moldovan lei. The sudden increase in the level of inflation in the last two years has disorientated the participants of the land market and negatively influenced both the number of transactions for the sale and purchase of agricultural land, as well as the area of land included in the market circuit. The deeper analysis of the current state, as well as the elaboration of reasoned recommendations, regarding overcoming the crisis situation on the agricultural land market in the Republic of Moldova, is the main purpose of this publication.

Waste management to achieve sustainable development goals: approach for Indian cities

Author(s): Ruma Bhatt,Bharati Mohapatra / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Solid waste management has become a serious concern for city managers and environmentalists in developing countries due to fast urbanization, unplanned development, and changing lifestyles leading to the generation of a huge amount of waste. Sustainable waste management strategies are required to handle large quantities the waste. It requires comprehensive knowledge about the different waste management strategies adopted in India as well as in other countries and to find out the scope for effective management of waste to make cities clean and livable. The paper attempts to understand the important role played by different sectors engaged in waste management who execute in response to specific contexts for efficient management. Existing waste management practices in India and other countries are reviewed and operational difficulties are identified. A pilot survey of the planned neighborhood area in the city of Cuttack is conducted to understand the ongoing practices of Solid Waste Management and also inhabitants’ acceptance of waste management initiatives.

Author(s): Mohamed Noby,Mohamed E. Elattar,Omar Hamdy / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2023

The rate of global urbanization is constantly increasing. As a result of the massive population growth, there is an increasing demand for further urban development, especially in developing regions such as Aswan city. This paper aims to examine the usage official land-use data in predicting future urban growth until 2046, moreover, to define urban driving forces in case study area. This was done using Similarity weighted model, a machine learning based model to simulate future urban growth. The results show that official land-use data produce a slightly better results’ accuracy than remote sensing sources within small to medium scales. The results although reveal that for study region, urban area is expected to expand to cover an area of almost 4460 Feddan by year 2046. The outcome of this research assesses decision makers to accurately predict future urban sprawl areas using available official land-use data.

Забытый советский географ и известный писатель Николай Николаевич Михайлов (1905–1982). Опыт интернет-поиска и биобиблиографического анализа

Author(s): V. M. Moskovkin / Language(s): Russian Issue: 42/2023

The article outlines a career path of a famous writer, novelist and writer-geographer, Nikolai Nikolayevich Mikhailov. It reveals that he was be a professional geographer, which previously hasn’t been recognized, who taught Economic Geography at Moscow universities, headed the Department of Economic Geography at the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers and received the degree of Candidate of Geographical Sciences for a book on the Far East published in 1940. The role of M.Gorky and his journal “Our Achievements” in the development of N.N.Mikhailov as a writer-geographer is demonstrated. The study of the memoirs of N.N.Mikhailov and the leading Soviet economic geographer N.N.Baranskii allowed to restore the episodes of the former’s activities in Alma-Ata during the evacuation, including the unsuccessful defense of his doctoral thesis in 1948. The role of the leading Soviet physical geographer, Director of the Institute of Geography, A.A.Grigoriev, in the defense of two dissertations by N.N.Mikhailov is established as well. His English-language books published abroad, unknown to Russian specialists in geography and history, are analyzed and introduced into scholarship. For the first time, the preface by the famous geographer and geopolitician Halford Mackinder, written for the first edition of the book by N.N.Mikhailov “Soviet Geography” (1935), is translated into Russian. That publication paved the way all the further English-language books of the author, which were practically the only sources of information for Western readers in the field of the grandiose changes on the geographical map of the country of the Soviets. On the eve of the 40th anniversary of the death of this remarkable writer and geographer, the articles puts forward proposals to perpetuate his name.

Author(s): Georgeta Ghionea / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Social life and fashion have not been the woman’s only concerns at the end of the 19th and the late 20th century. Their contribution to modern society changes, by taking on new duties and liabilities will have a specific means of expression and for a better understanding of the activities they carried out it requires an overview, even a brief one over a few Oltenian women from the above-mentioned period. Seen only as a wife and mother, the woman makes her way into society being concerned with her own education, she takes part in financing arts and not only, and she engages in harnessing traditional clothing and crafts.

REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN AND OF THEIR ROLES IN THE WORLD OF THE ROMANIAN VILLAGE. PICTURE POSTCARDS FROM THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY AND THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY

Author(s): Oana Ramona Ilovan,Ioana Alexandra Ciupe,Adrian Muntean / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

This study aims to explore the visual discourse about women and their roles in the Romanian village, a discourse created by the picture postcards from the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th. century. To reach this aim, we considered the following objectives: to realise a typology of the used research material, to identify the main representations of women, to analyse the relationship between the representations of women and the other represented elements (men, children, rural landscapes, households, tools, etc.), to discuss the main features of the visual discourse about the women from the rural area, for the respective period, based on the previous identification of the elements that became iconic through repeated representation. We used a critical visual methodology and discourse analysis to explore the picture postcards that represented women from the Romanian village, underlining the connection between their meanings and the cultural reality. Our findings are useful for similar research on gender and its visual construction from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.

Electronic Visualization of Underground Tourist Routes on the Example of the Route in Sandomierz

Author(s): Rafał Gawałkiewicz / Language(s): English Issue: 20/2021

For many years in Poland, anthropogenic objects constructed underground have been very popular with tourists. In the past they fulfilled various functions (historic mines, underground merchant warehouses, military objects, special objects, caverns and grottoes). Many of them were secured and rebuilt in such a way that a new form was created. They make interesting tourist offers and still more objects can be made available to tourists. An example of strongly modified underground anthropogenic objects of very complex geometry and extremely interesting architectural form is the Underground Tourist Route (Polish: Podziemna Trasa Turystyczna – PTT) in Sandomierz. Owing to much effort and financial means, in 1960s many interesting cellars and merchant warehouses were saved from destruction – and – with the application of mining techniques, they were joint into attractive spatial forms. So far, few publications give the full characteristic and parametric data of this object. Today’s possibilities of available measurement and information technologies allow comprehensive inventory of complicated engineering constructions, as well as the 3D visualization, regarding even tiniest elements of small architecture (doors, lattice, lamps, etc.). The article presents the results of the visualization and parameterization based on the data from integrated surveying (levelling, transects, total stations, laser scanning and other direct measurements).

Population Policies of India

Author(s): Bekir Yüksel HOŞ / Language(s): English Issue: 21/2023

It is thought that there is 7.9 billion people on earth as of 2022. The two main countries holding this population stock are China, closely followed by India, which is expected to surpass China in the near future. In India, which is the subject of this study, five different cities were visited in 2013 and so the discrepancies between the statistical data and the situations shown by the land itself were analyzed on-site. In addition, members of the society from very different religions were interviewed, the situation of people from different castes, who constitute the dominant religious group, the Hindu faith, was analyzed on the spot, and an idea was obtained about the participation in the state and local administrations in terms of their population. The case of India has not been sufficiently studied in the literature to include examples of its population policy, management of a large population, control of the population, societies, and democracies not being dominated by a group of particular people of a region. In this study, these will be revealed and the effects ofpopulation policies on the development and administration of the country will be examined.

Assessing the Someşan Plateau water supply.

Author(s): Victor Sorocovschi / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The sustainable development of the Someşean Plateau, a water-deficient region, requires solving the problem of ensuring the water supply for the population and agriculture. In this sense, in the present study, were analyzed a series of aspects related to: water supply sources (auththous and allochthous) of the localities; the amount of water distributed to consumers from the main subunits of the Someşean Plateau. Special attention was given to the evaluation of water needs (in four variants) at the level of localities, counties, hydrographic basins and geographical subdivisions. Finally, the optimization of water supply solutions for the localities in the studied region was analyzed.

The correlations between land use and landslides in the Territorial Administrative Unit of Mintiu Gherlii

Author(s): Gheorghe Roșian,Csaba Horváth,Muntean Liviu,MĂCICĂȘAN Vlad,Rozalia Benedek / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Landslides are among the most important geomorphological processes in the Transylvanian Basin, particularly affecting agricultural land and decreasing its value for producing specific agricultural products. The Someșan Plateau and the Transylvanian Plain are the morpho-structural units most affected by landslides, accounting for 3% to 10% or more of the territorial and administrative divisions in the Transylvanian Basin, including Mintiu Gherlii. In this context, where geology and landforms are relatively consistent, land use is the primary factor that can produce changes. Our analysis indicates that arable land and pastures have the largest areas affected by landslides, and this suggests that the agro-techniques used so far may not have been the most suitable. Therefore, preventive and control measures should be implemented to reduce the surface areas affected by landslides and minimize their impact on the local economy.

Vegetation fires in Romania: an overview.

Author(s): Magdalena Drãgan,Gabriela Munteanu Cocean / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

The main purpose of the present paper is to explore the current state of knowledge upon the occurrence and impacts of vegetation fires in Romania and to make a brief report on the sources of data concerning such events, in order to pave the road for further, more detailed studies upon the occurrence of vegetation fires in Romania. Using satellite images-based applications available at EFFIS we could observe that Romania is indeed impacted by many fire events every year. In addition, we worked with a large database provided by the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, that includes over 150,000 entries, regarding interventions of fire brigades on vegetation fires in Romania. Among other aspects, these data showed that the main regions for such interventions were the southern and western parts of the country and that the monthly occurrence of such events corresponds to timeframes typical for clearing agricultural lands.

A szlovákiai magyarsághoz tartozók számának, arányának változása járások szerint a 2011. és a 2021. évi népszámlálás adatai alapján

Author(s): László Gyurgyík / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2024

The study deals with the development of the number of Hungarians in Slovakia by districts based on the data of the 2011 and 2021 censuses. In a first approach, the data at the district level for ethnicity, mother tongue and 2nd ethnicity are examined. Then, based on combinations of these three ethnic indicators, the four types of Hungarian affiliation are analysed in relation to the proportion of Hungarians living in the districts. The differences in the number, composition and types of Hungarians living in Hungarian and non-Hungarian districts are examined. We will also examine the contribution of the three variables included in the analysis to the evolution of the number of Hungarians at the district level. The tables in the appendix provide a deeper understanding of the relationships presented in the study.

ФЕРТИЛИТЕТ СТАНОВНИШТВА У СРБИЈИ У 21. ВЕКУ

Author(s): Daniela Arsenović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 189/2024

Total fertility rate below replacement level is one of the main characteristics of the contemporary demographic development of the population in Serbia. The results of the Census conducted in 2022 further intensified the already raised issue of low reproductive rate and the total fertility rate in Serbia today counts 1.63, which is the highest value recorded in the 21st century. The decline in the fertility rate began in the 20th century. The main drivers of this decrease are demographic and economic factors and the ones that impact the formation of the society in which individuals and couples tend to experience parenthood. The main aim of this paper is to give trends and changes of fertility in Serbia during the 21th century, using Census data from 2002, 2011 and 2022, as well as vital statistics. According to the 2022 census, there were 6,647,003 inhabitants in Serbia, and out of that number, 51.4% were women, i.e. 44.4% were women aged 15 and over and 21.1% were women of the age 15–49. Analysis of data for three censuses conducted in the 21st century demonstrates that the number of women who have not given birth is decreasing, which is a consequence of the decline in the overall population. When it comes to the order of birth of a child, the majority are women who gave birth to two children, then one child, then women who gave birth to three children, four and five and more. The number of women aged 15 and over according to the order of birth of the child has decreased both in relation to one child and according to the higher order of birth. Nevertheless, the share of women aged 15 and over who gave birth to two in relation to the total number of women of that age increased slightly. One of the important characteristics of the fertility in Serbia is the increase in the average age of the mother at birth. The change in the age model of birth has impact on average number of children per women, which is also shown by the adjusted total fertility rate.

ПРОСТОРНА АНАЛИЗА ПРОМЕНА КОНЦЕНТРАЦИЈЕ СТАНОВНИШТВА И ФУНКЦИЈА НАСЕЉА СРЕМСКЕ ОБЛАСТИ У ПЕРИОДУ 2002-2011. ГОДИНЕ

Author(s): Aleksandra Malić Sibinović / Language(s): English,Serbian Issue: 20/2023

The Srem region has become a very attractive region for domestic and foreign investors in the last twenty years, due to its geographical location and its natural and social characteristics suitable for the development of economic activities. The absorption of capital investments leads to significant changes in the functional types of settlements in the Srem region, so that the predominantly agrarian settlements’ characteristic of the Srem region become mixed and non-agrarian settlements over time. The capital investments have a direct impact on the structural changes and spatial differentiation of the economy in the Srem region, while at the same time the change in the economic base significantly influences the functional transformation of the settlement, which is precisely shown by the results of the Hoyt index. The analysis of the collected data from the 2002 and 2011 censuses showed that the greatest changes are associated with the secondary and tertiary sectors, which is a consequence of the new investment activity in the field of industry and services. The greatest extent of change was found in the municipal centers (Inđija, Stara Pazova and Pećinci), but also in the surrounding settlements which are under the direct gravitational influence of the mentioned municipal centers. Based on the analysis of functional changes for the period 2002-2011, it is possible to further examine the dynamics of changes and compare them with the period 2011-2022 and consider the future trends of functional transformation of the settlement, which is a prerequisite for the systematically organized development of the Srem region.

The Geographical, Economic and Legal Regionalization of the Changes in Dividend Payments in the World

Author(s): Mieczysław Kowerski / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The dynamic growth of nominal and real values of dividends paid in the world, observed since the last quarter of the twentieth century, is determined by the companies with the largest capitalization. However, the increase in global dividend payments is not the same in all countries and is subject to geographical, economic and legal regionalization. It is also disturbed by economic fluctuations (especially the 2008 crisis) and, more recently, by the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper, using the data from the survey of Janus Henderson Investments, analyses changes in dividend payments in geographical (continents) economic (countries with a similar level of economic development) and legal (countries with similar legal systems) regions by the 1,200 largest companies in the world between 2009 and 2021. Linnear trend models taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic in the world and in separate regions and subregions, as well as the panel partial adjustment model of dividends vs. GDP, were estimated. The conducted research confirmed the impact of different forms of regionalization on the rate of dividend payments by the world’s largest companies. In the years 2009–2021 dividend payments in Australia and Asia grew the fastest. COVID-19 significantly reduced dividend payments in 2020 in Europe. Dividend payments in emerging markets countries grew faster than in developed markets countries and COVID-19 did not significantly reduce payouts on emerging markets. However, it is the developed markets that still provide the vast majority of dividends. The common law system is more favorable to dividend payments.
