Abstract
World population has more than doubled during the past 50 years and it possibly will keep increasing up to 7.56 billions by 2020, 8.18 billions by 2030 and 9 billion by 2050 (FAO 2003) as shown in Figure 1. Not only the total amount but also the structure of population changed. In 1950, only 30% of the global population were urban dwellers, while in the recent years, this percentage has exceeded 50%, and more than 95% of the net increase in the global population
