This case study aims to present the development of the touristic sector in Suceava County during 2016-2021 years. The key points that this article will cover are : the touristic types that can be ...practiced in Suceava County, the touristic attractions that make this area so unique, an overview regarding the accommodation units in the mentioned period of time, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the touristic sector in the area and a survey regarding the level of satisfaction tourists experience when visiting the county.
The kame hills and terraces located in the Suchedniów Plateau (northern part of the Kielce Upland) were the subject of research in the 1970s. In 2019, further study was started using new methods to ...determine the age and genesis of the sediments that build these forms. Varied hypsometry, with hills and depressions, divided the advanced ice sheet into two lobes. During deglaciation in the inter-lobe part, there was a large variability of sedimentation conditions (5 accumulation members in KR II and 4 in KR I profiles). It was resulted in the higher position (KR II) of fluvioglacial kames with dominant of sand and gravel sediments not covered with moraine. The lower (KR I), complex kames were formed, composed of alternately occurring accumulation members of finer sediments (limnoglacial kames) and coarser – sand-gravel (fluvioglacial kames) covered with ablation moraine with erratics. These forms were created during areal deglaciation and the melting of blocks of dead ice. The rate of this process was variable, and it lasted from several dozen to several thousand years, which is confirmed by the obtained TL dates, despite the appearing inversions. The Pleistocene fluvial terrace (PK 1) and the Holocene alluvia in the bottom of the Kamionka valley ware cut into kames and kame terraces sediments.
Speleotourism implies visiting caves and respecting geomorphological values. A visit to the caves must include certain rules of conduct and implementation of geoethical values to achieve sustainable ...speleotourism development. This paper investigates the tourist traffic of an authentic cave in northwestern Bulgaria, the Magura Cave, which is a speleological object with exceptional potential for the development of speleotourism. The explored cave includes unique examples of cave paintings and imposing historical values. The research methodology mainly included descriptive analysis of data obtained by the administrative staff of the Municipality of Belogradchik. The data of tourist visits are presented in tables and graphs. The research results indicate the current state and potential prospects for the development of speleotourism in the Magura Cave. Moreover, the paper presents measures for more effective development of speleotourism, which are of special importance for organizational and cave management structures.
The article addresses the issue of location of urban agriculture in the spatial structure of selected11 African capital cities located south of the Sahara. The research was based on the analysis of ...satellite andaerial imagery and fieldwork conducted in two of the cities selected – Kigali in 2019 and Bissau in 2020.The considerations undertaken show that agriculture present in cities analyzed has similar spatial features. In allof the cases, urban agriculture has a wedge or ribbon-shaped arrangement and occupies river valleys and their slopes, depending on water conditions. It enters areas where construction is impossible or very limited. These conclusions are universal, going beyond the climatic and soil zones as well as the ground surface relief.
This present study, the mapped area is located between latitude E07°35’00’’ to E07°39’0011” and longitude N13°00’00’’ to N12°57’00” of sheet 34NW, Katsina State, Northern Nigeria. The area is ...underlain by Basement Complex rocks and syenogranitic rocks which dominate in the area. The two sets of granitic rocks were observed and distinguished by texture. The northwest of the mapped area consists of very coarse to coarse grained syeno-granitic rocks, while in the southeast, the rocks are medium to coarse grained. These outcrops exhibit various systems of joints. The mineralogical compositions determine by thin section results displays: quartz, biotite, muscovite, plagioclase feldspar, apatite, sericite, hornblende, augite and microcline. There are two generalizations of joints with primary WSW to ENW direction and NE-SW, MMW-SSE and WWW-ESE secondary direction of NE-SW, MME-SSE and WWW-ESE.
The subject of research in this paper is the expansion of the growth matrix, which is reflected in the definition of a new matrix - a global regional growth matrix. The assumption for the formation ...of this matrix is that the synthetic measures of the development of individual regions included in the analysis are first calculated. This matrix provides an opportunity to analyze interregional relations and the dynamics of structural change in the respective regions.
This volume is an attempt to paint a picture of the history of natural resources and mining in Transylvania, through a few selected examples arranged in a chronological order, up to the point in time ...mentioned in the title. It relies on a scientific approach, but also tries to give an account that is easy to read and understand.Some of the chapters identify the locations of medieval mines that were known from documents but had no precise geographic positions; others call the attention to the fact that, taking into account their characteristics, some modern-day mines were also active during medieval times. The book guides the reader through the adventurous history of learning about the geology of energy resources (natural gas, coal) in Transylvania. In the process of doing that, it also highlights ideas and concepts that were introduced here for the first time in the history of science, such as the industrial use of natural gas, pioneering research on single-celled fossils, and the clarification of stratigraphic controversies through the use of paleontology. The effect of the scientific, economic, societal, and political context on the exploration and exploitation of raw materials – and mineral waters as well – is also discussed.By describing the work of a few outstanding Transylvanian geologists (e.g., Franz Herbich, Gyula Halaváts, and Mór Pálfy), we also highlight that, despite all the difficulties of doing scientific work in a small and often disadvantaged country, thanks to these scientists, this region was able to keep up with, or even lead, the scientific advances in Europe and the rest of the world. In some cases we also discuss their contributions in areas outside of the geosciences.By summarizing and cataloguing those publications of these researchers that are relevant to Transylvania, we also hope to aid further studies in the history of geoscience in this region.
To determine the state of sustainable tourism development in the protected natural areas of AP Vojvodina, it is important to analyze and correlate certain indicators of sustainable tourism. It is ...also important to analyze the opinion of visitors according to the selected protected natural areas, from the perspective of experiences and potential suggestions for specific interventions, to improve the state of natural values and improve the area protection. As a final result, it can provide significant benefits for all participants of sustainable tourism development. This paper analyzed and presented the results of visitor responses regarding 5 selected protected natural areas on the territory of AP Vojvodina. These areas represent a significant sample for analysis and the results of the research can influence the overall assessment of the sustainable tourism development of the Province. Using the correlation method of obtained average values of estimated sustainability indicators, the relation of these indicators to sustainable tourism was defined. The results obtained can influence the constitution of proposals for the improvement of the natural values of these areas through the proper implementation of nature protection. By enhancing these natural values, benefits are provided to all participants in sustainable tourism development.
This article analyses the Roman viticulture in Hasta Regia colony, southwest of the Iberian Peninsula, as an ideal place to model historical and economic conditioning factors of this activity. We ...propose a model that includes an analysis of the territory, the “Riparian” resources necessary for the vineyard, the conditioning factors of the ancient vineyard and finally the economic implications that derive from it. The method allows us to get closer to the management of this economic reality, as well as being able to check whether the various estimates are correct.
