Some of the Ancient temples and early Christian churches have been excavated or accidently discovered; partly renovated, while in the period of the Ottoman rule most of the large churches were turned into mosques or put down on purpose. A few of them have been given back their primary function in the mid 20th C. Only small churches were permitted to be built by Turkish low, usually 1, 5 m. above the earth, until the first half of the 19th C. when building of new churches was allowed where such previously did not exist. There is also the phenomenon of simultaneous use of a religious object for Christian and Muslim confession. It is obvious there is continuity in using same location for religious objects, and usually profane objects are not erected where previously temples or necropolis existed. I analyze statistically and geographically the density of religious objects from the Ancient period towards modernity, with the accent on the medieval and post byzantine period, and explain the continuity in using the same location for temples of different religions. Ancient temples had prominent place within the city acropolis or were positioned on a mountain and hill top and strategic places outside the cities, along with sites near mighty sources of water. The location chosen by Christians has been related to saint’s grave, martyr’s place of death, or holy water springs. Mosques used to have accompanying baths which is not the case today. Since large number of churches was turned into mosques since the 15th C., there was great decrease in their number, which continued after the world war two. The last decade shows slight increase of churches and enormous increase of mosques. This statistics indicates the political role of the religion and the religious object within a community","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122955535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quantification of the total carbon (TC) and the total organic carbon (TOC) from the soil is a key analysis in regards to the management of soil quality. In the common floodplain of Jijia-Prut rivers, the hydrotechnical and agricultural facilities deeply changed the aquatic scenery, lowering the organic carbon quantity, and deeply impacting the biodiversity of the relict wetlands. Currently, the hydromorphic soils are affected both by natural factors (climate change, the changing of the soil’s texture, the diminution of the areas covered by natural vegetation, and in situ biodegradation) as well as anthropogenic factors (irrational land usage). This study targets the evaluation of TC and TOC quantities from the transition perimeters of the wetlands corresponding to common floodplain of Jijia-Prut rivers. The analysis was realized on 55 ground samples collected from 5 reference points. The samples were collected using a pedological corer from the summer of 2016. In order to determine the organic carbon, we used a TOC analyzer equipped with a solid sample module, operated at 1,000°C (Analytik Jena multi N/C with HT 1300). The values were situated between 6.61 g/kg and 45.02 g/kg, with an average of 19.98 g/kg. The highest values were registered in the wetlands that were the least anthropogenically affected. The lowest values correspond to the areas from outside the aquatic perimeter. The drop in TOC is directly proportional to the diminution of wetlands and riparian zone.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122666848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Groza","doi":"10.18509/GBP.2018.50","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18509/GBP.2018.50","url":null,"abstract":"The analysis of geotagged photos from social media platforms is one of the latest forms of obtaining spatial information that can be used by scientist and especially by geographers. This new form of data, named crowd sourced geographic information has been used in studies as a monitoring method of the number of visitors in natural parks or to calculate the intensity with which there are frequented some tourist routes. This paper proposes a methodology that uses geotagged photos to monitor the tourist flows in the Danube Delta based on the information available on Google Earth geobrowser in the form of photos from different locations inside the analyzed area. At the same time we collected information about the content of the photos, which has given us information about the preferences of tourists regarding the landscape. The method that we used to visualize the patterns created by the location of the photos is Kernel Density Estimator (KDE). This method advantage is that it only needs the location of the photos and it shows if there are clusters/ hot-spots in the distribution and at the same time it predicts the density of the photos starting from existing data. Another method that we used to confirm what we observed through KDE is a grid that covers the analyzed area and we noticed that the grid boxes with the greatest number of photos are overlapping with the areas of high density. The value of this paper is given by the fact that not only shows an image of the areas that tourists prefer to go to, it explores a complementary method to estimate the number of tourists, beside the number of overnight stays that is available only for the conventional accommodation units, and so it contributes to spatially adjust the tourists attendance in the deltaic space.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129273067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This development lead to an abundance of spatial data, mapping and understanding the features and phenomena found on the surface of the Earth, became easier. Worldwide natural hazards like floods are a constant threat to build up environment or agricultural areas. Due to their negative impact on different social and economic aspects, the need to monitor and map these phenomena has become mandatory. One of the most used methodologies in the assessment of flooded areas is the use of remote sensing. With the recent developments in this field, especially in the microwave wavelength data acquisition, the monitoring, mapping and modeling of these catastrophic events can be done in a more rapid and precise way. The optimal solution for monitoring and mapping flooded areas is the use of radar data (SAR). The development of ESA Sentinel-1 mission, which will provide free data (radar with 10 m spatial resolution and a revision time of 5 days in constellation mode), set a new milestone in the flood hazard and risk assessment. This paper proposes a methodology for mapping flood events using open source data Sentinel-1 provided by ESA (European Space Agency) and SNAP, an open source ESA software architecture.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116472652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geographic information systems allow the extraction and quantitative analysis of information from historical maps. This study refers to the diachronic analysis of land use dynamics in the geographical area of Rădăuți municipality, territorial-administrative unit located in the northeastern part of Suceava county, Romania. The analysis is based on the use of geospatial techniques in extracting information from historical maps, for emphasizing the land cover and land use dynamic from a spatial and temporal point of view. The cartographic and statistic analysis is based on the identification of a variety of land use categories: croplands, woodlands, water bodies, artificial surfaces, degraded and unproductive lands. Selection of historical maps at a large scale (Austrian cadastral maps, scale 1:2 880; the topographical plans, scale 1:5 000 and ortophotos, scale 1:5 000, updated with aerial images using Terra Incognita 2.41 software) allows a detalied analysis on the land use dynamics in the above-mentioned area. Complementary, temporal dyanamic of the land use categories is highlighted by the choice of some benchmark years, i.e. 1856, 1978 and 2015 corresponding to a different historical, geographic, social and economic context. The results obtained emphasize the territorial distribution and the dynamic of land use categories conditioned by natural and socio-economic driving factors which influenced with different frequency and intensity during of 159 years. The analysis revealed that the urban landscape has been very dynamic, displaying significant changes in most type of land use, most notably in the case of urban built-up, which emphasize substantial increases, from 134,93 hectares in 1856 to 773,42 hectares in 2015. The analysis of land use dynamic is very useful for planners, because it can argue the best decisions regarding sustainable development of urban areas.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133770688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
