Wpływ inwestycji z dofinansowaniem unijnym na rozwój przestrzenny w wybranych miastach aglomeracji łódzkiej

Author(s): Izabela Durecka,Tomasz Durecki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2015

The purpose of this article is to identify and describe changes occurring in thespace of a number of small towns in Łódź agglomeration, which have resulted fromrealization of selected investments made with the help of EU funds, as well as a briefassessment of the effect of these investments on the environment and spatialdevelopment of the city. Investments which are directly or indirectly related to publicspaces have been analyzed in five towns: Ozorków, Konstantynów Łódzki, Łask,Głowno and Stryków. They are divided into the following categories: investmentsrelated to recreation and leisure, investments related to the communication system,investments related to water and sewage management, investments related to technicalinfrastructure (roads and also the water and sewage system). All the investments shouldhave a positive influence on the spatial development of the towns, which will help toensure their spatial order and sustainable development.

Identification of the spatial causes of urban sprawl with the use of land information systems and GIS tools

Author(s): Ada Wolny-Kucińska,Agnieszka Dawidowicz,Ryszard Źróbek / Language(s): English Issue: 35/2017

Urbanization is one of the processes that determine the development of a country or a region, but it has both advantages and side effects. Some of its aspects may lead to unsustainable growth and dispersion of built-up area. The main causes of this process are increases in costs of transportation, infrastructure and nature conservation. There is a threat of uncontrolled spread of development as a result of urbanization processes, particularly in suburban municipalities. It has been requested by many researches that authorities put more interest in avoiding dispersed suburbanization, but they still are looking for better solutions, tools and procedures to solve this problem. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the important role of spatial information from land information systems in identifying and predicting the causes of the development of dispersed built-up areas. Thanks to GIS instruments local authorities are more likely to preserve spatial order and avoid the side effects of "sprawling".

Az országmárka-kommunikáció lehetséges eszközei és csoportosításuk a POE-modell alapján

Author(s): Árpád Papp-Váry,Máté Farkas / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2018

The number of marketing communication tools and channels is steadily increasing – in addition, this growth has beenaccelerated since the emergence of Internet and social media. On the one hand, there is an increasing dilemma of which toolsone should choose from the options, and on the other hand, the (material, human and time) resources devoted to this arelimited. This is valid both for the marketing communications of ’classic’ tools, services and countries. This article attempts topresent the variety of available options with the help of the POE (paid, owned, earned) model, and describe their advantagesand disadvantages. The novelty of the study is that it focuses on a review of country communication campaigns and initiatives.As a result of the analysis, all marketing communication tools supporting country branding are placed in a summary table,which may also facilitate the work of academics and practitioners in the fi eld

GEOGRAPHY LESSONS TAUGHT THROUGH NON-FORMAL ACTIVITIES

Author(s): Florina Păunescu / Language(s): English Issue: 18/2018

Teaching geography in the class, in a formal way, is a normal thing to do.We all do this. Teaching geography in a non-formal context, from time to time, is different,seems a bit strange and needs courage to even think about it. In fact, it is not so difficult, itrequires a good plan ahead and desire to make students understand how important it is toactually see and do things outside in the open. This paper presents my experience in takingthe 9th grade students outside the classroom and presenting aspects from three differenttopics : the Universe (at the National Observatory), glacial and river erosion (on a trip onthe Transfagarasan road) and atmosphere (at the National Meteorological Administration).All in all, the students were enthusiastic about this mixing of theory and practice and I amsure they will betterrememberCumulus clouds and forms of erosion as part of their personalexperience: Teaching geography in the class, in a formal way, is a normal thing to do.

Строение пространства в «Географии» Птолемея: методологические сложности геореференцирования античных топонимов

Author(s): Dmitry A. Shcheglov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2019

In this paper I would like to draw attention to several features inherent to Ptolemy’s Geography that limit the effectiveness of different mathematical approaches to georeferencing (i.e. locating within the modern coordinate system) its unidentified places. Out of the 6,300 coordinate points listed in Ptolemy’s Geography, approximately 50% still don’t have recognized identifications on the modern map. This makes the Geography a real bonanza for researchers developing different methods to translate Ptolemy’s coordinates into the modern ones. Most of these methods can be effective only insofar as Ptolemy’s Geography is regarded as an example of what David Woodward called “equipollent-coordinate space” where “every place in the system is of equal geometric significance.” This kind of space is supposed to be as continuous and homogeneous as the space of the modern maps is. My central thesis is that Ptolemy’s space was closer to what Woodward has called “route-enhancing space,” in which “the routes are endowed with the importance of direct observation,” hiding behind the mask of the “equipollent” one. This hidden nature of Ptolemy’s space manifests itself in two interrelated aspects: it was discrete and hierarchically organized. On the one hand, there are reasons to suppose that most points on Ptolemy’s map were originally located not in relation to their nearest neighbors, but rather in relation to a few distant reference points. On the other hand, Ptolemy tended to distribute all places more evenly throughout the entire space they occupy and to round their coordinates as much as possible. These features of Ptolemy’s method result in that, even if he tried to follow his sources most closely, each separate point on his map could have been displaced relative to its original neighborhood. The displacements are often so significant and unpredictable that they cannot be adequately described by a single continuous function. Mathematical methods remain, of course, an important tool for studying Ptolemy’s Geography and, in particular, for georeferencing its unidentified places. However, like any instrument, these methods have limited effectiveness. The specific features of Ptolemy’s method pointed out in the present paper can contribute to our understanding of how these methods can be improved and enhanced.

Prof. Dr. ALİ ÖZÇAĞLAR’IN İDARİ COĞRAFYA ANALİZİ ÇALIŞMALARI

Author(s): Zeki Koday / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 43/2019

Considering the frequent changes in the administrative partition in our country, the need for the administrative geography increases in each passing day. Despite the need that the administrative analysis of each province should be employed separately, there are a few studies conducted on this subject. The first study in this field was conducted by Prof.Dr. Besim DARKOT (1961) titled “Thoughts on the Administrative Partition of Turkey”. The populations and functional properties of the settlements have changed by the time. This reality causes the studies on this subject to be diversified. The number of academicians studying on administrative geography have recently increased to a considerable extent. However, the leading academician with the highest number of studies on this subject is Mr. Ali Özçağlar. Therefore, this study was needed in order to briefly introduce the research studies of Prof. Dr. Ali Özçağlar on administrative geography. The administrative geography studies of Özçağlar are comprised of books, articles, and dissertations, as well as numerous postgraduate and doctoral theses he advised.

An Overview on Space Time Cube Visualization in GIS

Author(s): Ana Cornelia Badea,Gheorghe Badea / Language(s): English Issue: 25/2018

Over the last years, the STC (Space Time Cube) visualization method has been analyzed in many scientific papers in the literature. The term STC cames from cartography, meaning a geographical representation where time is treated as the third dimension.This model was introduced by the Swedish geographer Hägerstrand at the end of the sixties. When datasets involve more than one dimension in addition to time are difficult to visualize. In a geovisualization environment, maps as digital representations are used to emphasize visual thinking about geospatial patterns, relationships, trends. Currently, GIS technology offers dedicated tools that lead to interesting viewing results using this method, the cube and its contents being automatically created from a database. We reviewed some functions on temporal data, used to view geospatial data sets in different ways. Also in the case study, an earthquake dataset was used, which was represented using the STC method, but also in the form of a temporal slider application.

Audit Analytics, Administrative Accounting, Internal Auditing: Cadastre Corporate Governance

Author(s): Vasiliki Basdekidou,Athanasios Styliadis / Language(s): English Issue: 24/2018

In the Greek cadastre the usage of audit analytics is below any expectations according the European and International standards, although internationally internal auditing is increasingly accepted. In order to address this problem, the innovative concept “Cadastre Audit Analytics, CAA” is introduced in this article. Then, the concept is projected in three contexts and became a framework rich in collaborative financial engineering functionalities. Finally, the article discusses the application conceptual model (audit analytics, administrative accounting, and internal auditing) as an intermediate step towards a well-defined and documented accounting, auditing, and corporate governance system, in accordance with the international accounting standards.

Author(s): Alina Florina Nicolae,Puiu Lucian Georgescu,Gyorgy Deak,Adrian Ștefan Zamfir,Georgeta Tudor,Constantin Cîrstinoiu,Bogdan Urițescu,Marius Raischi,Marius Olteanu / Language(s): English Issue: 23/2017

The study area is of particular importance in terms of the morphological complex processes of the riverbed. Bala branch is defined by intense hydro morphological dynamics areas. At the same time, Old Danube is characterized by sediment deposition processes, as evidenced by the presence of numerous islands and sandbanks, with negative implications for navigation. In this context, in order to create hydrodynamic and morphodynamic models using Delft3D software, it is necessary to develop a bathymetric model that allows to provide results that are in line with reality. At the basis of the bathymetric model are the results obtained from the single beam and multi-beam measurements and the optimized grid which was refined in the hydrotechnical construction area.
