As a result, there is a great quantity of waste and significant impact on the environment. Lately the region is facing a trend of opening new mines, that will affect the economic and social activities in the region. The increased impact on the environment and the lack of positive remediation experiences were the motive for analysis of the correlation between proposed mining activities and environmental protection. The analysis consists of confronting the value of the locations (natural heritage, settlements, hydrological elements) and the impact on the environmental media. The analysis showed that only several locations may be exploited without major spatial degradation consequences.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"96 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":"124991125","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}

As per the above analysis, for a given finite artificial temperature, we find that its fluctuations over the system parameters yield a stable configuration, depending on the signature of parameters.

Romania has faced numerous floods in the past decades, of which the ones that took place in the Eastern region are of most significance in Siret watershed and Prut-Barlad river basins. To prioritize the interventions, the deployment of forces, as well as funds for flood defenses, first the zones and the sub-basins which are the most vulnerable must be identified. The purpose of this work is to develop an analysis at a sub-basinal level, which will take into consideration the most important morphometric parameters that are influencing floods, to obtain a comparative, relevant and understandable result, in order to achieve several cartographic materials that are easy to interpret and present to the authorities capable to intervene in such situations.

This is not only the result of their number and size, but also of multiple significance for science, culture, education, recreation, tourism and the protection of natural ecosystems. Compared to developed countries, nature protection in the former Yugoslavia started quite late, which is no wonder considering the events in the world at the moment and the current circumstances, although the importance of the regulation of nature protection is recognized early. The first national parks in the former joint state were declared in 1948 (Macedonia) and 1949 (Croatia). In the former Yugoslavia there were 22 national parks, and the successor states in its territory in the next two decades declared three more national parks. National parks are protected by a special regime provided for by special legislation. Managing National Parks is a complex process that includes biological, social, legal, economic and many other components. The development of national parks is not possible without management plans. The aim of this paper is to analyze the institutional frameworks and management capacities, as well as the potentials of national parks in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. The basic conclusion is that, with evident differences between individual countries, in most countries nature protection is well organized, but due to the lack of harmonization of legislation, the situation in the functioning of national parks is far from satisfactory. There is a need for upgrading management plans. National parks are faced with a lack of funds to undertake protection and other activities, so it is not possible to adequately use their abundant potentials and values.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"1 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":"130878823","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}

There are many spectral classification methods in remote sensing, and the applicability of two spectral classification methods is aimed to evaluate water quality in this study. Within the scope of this study, İmranlı region of Kızılırmak River was examined. High resolution satellite image in operation CHRIS Proba is provided free of charge from European Space Agency. The spectroradiometer measurement points were determined to obtain the water sample. From these points, local measurements were made with the spectroradiometer simultaneously with transition of the satellite. The quality evaluation was carried out by analyzing the water samples in the laboratory. As a result of measurements made with the spectroradiometer, reflectance from the measurements was resampled at the Chris PROBA band intervals and a reference for classification was established. Using this data, applicability of a spectral classification method, Match Filtering and Spectral Information Divergence, was tested in order to evaluate water quality.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"3 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":"131077698","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 region holds an important number of lakes that allow the storage of water during periods with rainfall shortage. At the same time, they play an important role in the protection of localities against floods. In addition to the benefits that these lakes have, they can also represent a risk factor for the localities situated in the downstream region, in case of dam collapse. In Romania it is widely known the catastrophic event from 1991 when Belci Dam situated on Tazlău River was breached, causing an entire neighborhood from Onesti City to be flooded. The present study focuses on Catamarasti Lake which has a maximum water volume of 12 million cubic meters, the dam being located 3 km upstream of the first locality and the periphery of Botosani City. The proximity of the inhabited areas makes the dam break scenario to be a probable event, therefore the identification of the propagation time of a possible flood wave is essential towards the creation of a system for the protection of the population. The dam break simulation and the quantification of the propagation time of the entire water volume on Sitna river valley is made using HECRAS, based on a LiDAR digital elevation model, using the 2D simulation method. In this case, having a likely floodable surface as well as the time in which the flood can reach the nearby localities, there were identified the risk exposed households located in the floodplain, in the vicinity of the river.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"9 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":"114601224","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}

Macedonia represents a suitable testing ground for such investigation having in mind that so far, more than one hundred hiking trails are identified within the draft national network of the hiking trails. Furthermore, the research combines the current hiking trails and mountain dormitories in order to try to conceptualize them as a system that may be covered with tourism patterns. The analysis is based on a qualitative research method, mainly by exploring secondary sources of information. The findings indicate an option for reshaping the current network of national trails due to additional great number of newly identified trails. Furthermore, it was found that out of forty mountain dormitories, only seven may somehow serve in tourism purposes. The most surprising is the conclusion that among large portion of hiking trails no usable dormitory is present, which challenges construction of new or complete restauration of the old ones. Besides official documents and some isolated positive examples of private initiatives which pose some insights, no academic studies have so far been carried out on this issue. Therefore, this research contributes to the literature as a pioneer study in Macedonia’s academic work, along with its practical significance. Namely, it suggests many recommendations towards the necessity of inducing more proactive attitude among tourism policy makers for designing new tourism product as an important component of tourism supply.","PeriodicalId":179095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 2018","volume":"25 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":"114740256","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}
