•Flood susceptibility was derived through IOE, FAHP, FAHP-IOE, SVM and SVM-IOE models.•205 flood pixels were the dependent variable into stand-alone and ensemble models.•Between 13% and 20% of the ...study area has a high and very high flood susceptibility.•SVM-IOE was the most performant model.
The global warming and climate changes determined a considerable increase in the frequency of floods and their related damages. Therefore, the high accuracy prediction of flood susceptible areas plays a key role in flood warnings and risk reduction. The main objective of this study is to propose novel hybridizations of fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP), Index of Entropy (IoE), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for predicting the areas susceptible to floods. Buzău river catchment (Romania) was the area on which the present study was focused. In this regard, a database with 205 flooded locations, 205 non-flood locations and 12 flood predictors was established and used to train and validate the flood susceptibility models. The performance of the proposed models was evaluated using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve and statistical metrics. The results show that all the hybrid models have a high prediction performance and outperform the stand-alone models. Among them, the SVM-IoE model (AUC = 0.979) has the highest performance, followed by the FAHP-IoE (AUC = 0.97), IoE (AUC = 0.969), SVM (AUC = 0.966) and FAHP (AUC = 0.947). These results highlight a very high efficiency of all the applied models. The application of the models mentioned above revealed that a percentage between 12.5% (FPIIoE) and 21.2% (FPIFAHP) of the study area is characterized by high and very high exposure to these hydrological hazards.
Abstract
Although the issue of deferred taxes is very important, it is very little known to the taxpayers and to the fiscal bodies, both in meaning and content and in the practical methodology of ...application. This paper describes the meaning and the content of deferred income taxes, the distinction between accounting amortization and fiscal amortization, the practical methodology for the application of deferred income, all of these in the line of tax facilities granted as accelerated amortization applied pursuant to art. 24 paragraph (9) of the Tax Code.
The agricultural enterprise, seen from a sustainable development perspective, operates within an ecosystem, and aims to achieve a harmonious interpenetration and integration with it. The way in which ...this interpenetration and integration is realized depends on the level achieved by its performances, which requires the adoption of policies and strategies and the economic organization of biotechnical processes. The paper emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to issues like management and sustainable development of the grassland agro ecosystem and shows that promoting ecological techniques in the grassland agro ecosystem can ensure its versatility. All these supported by obtaining appropriate pastoral values, namely biodiversity conservation and improvement of meadows, and knowing that Romania has a variety of floral structures with high biodiversity indices.
The rural tourism registers a growing evolution in the rural economy of Romania in the last 10 years, thanks to the progressive involvement of specialists, of entrepreneurs and also of the factors of ...local responsibility. However, there are many steps to go before making a superior recovery of the tourism potential which characterizes the Romanian villages. This requires the identification, the development and the implementation of some strategic options based on natural resource, but geared towards the sustainable use of it. Thus, this paper addresses the rural tourism development from the perspective of a strategic management in order to adopt and implement those strategic options aimed at the sustainable development of the rural tourism. Specifically, in the rural area of Sibiu Depression took place a field research study after the case methodology, which has contributed to the demonstration of the requirements for a sustainable development of the rural tourism in the specific examined area. The result consisted of the formulation, elaboration and adoption with a view to the implementation of some relevant strategic options for a sustainable development of the tourism in the rural area of Sibiu Depression.
