Green infrastructure (GI) and espe­cially urban green infrastructure (UGI) could have a key role in dealing with these development issues. The main goal of the paper is to evaluate the role of GI in development strat­egies, both on national and local levels. The role of GI as a policy tool is ana­lyzed. In addition to national development strategies, the paper reviews the development strategies of several Croatian cities. The four biggest and most developed cities are selected: Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, and Osijek. As the most developed cities in economic terms, they are expected to base their develop­ment on new development patterns, including GI. The paper is structured as follows. After presenting GI and the literature re­view, the third section discusses national regulation and urban policy doc­uments related to GI. The final section presents some conclusions and some proposals for future research agenda.","PeriodicalId":389229,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology, Tourism, Economics, Management and Agriculture","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126848919","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 main challenges for agricultural production in the European Union are global market competition, economic and political cri­ses, climate change and rising costs of production factors. The European Union wants to provide support for the sustainable income of agricultural holdings and the stability of the agricultural sector, and it contributes great­ly to the financing of agriculture in the member states. In this way, the aim is to ensure the long-term security of the food supply and the agricultural diversity of the member states. The paper states the objectives of the agri­cultural policy of the European Union, researches and analyzes data on the number of employees in agriculture, the age structure of farmers, the size of agricultural holdings, agricultural and livestock production, fishing and promotional activities of agricultural production in the European Union.","PeriodicalId":389229,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology, Tourism, Economics, Management and Agriculture","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121879460","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}

Primarily, stagflation shocks in the 1970s are analyzed and compared to the current crisis for the period January 2020 – July 2022 in the example of selected economies (the United States, Germany and France). Descrip­tive analysis showed that in the observed period, inflationary and recession­ary pressures existed in USA, Germany and France; however, those pressures could not be identified as stagflation, since they did not happen simultane­ously. Namely, during the pandemic crisis, recessionary pressures were pres­ent, since the GDP growth decreased till the first quarter of 2021 in analyz­ed economies, while inflation rates were stable. On the other hand, with the recovery of economies in the second quarter of 2021 inflationary pressures were stronger, intensified by the geopolitical crisis. Therefore, it seems that the most visible anomaly of the global economic system in 2022 is the pres­ence of inflationary pressures.","PeriodicalId":389229,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology, Tourism, Economics, Management and Agriculture","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133973701","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}

A start­ing point is the perception of the level of economic development by a group of first year economics students at the Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism in Split, Croatia. With the students typically not being aware (fa­miliar) of how rich (poor) their country is, this study provides a deeper inves­tigation of the level of development of Croatia and compares it with sever­al countries from the neighborhood. The investigation employs commonly used indicators of economic development – GNI (Gross national income) per capita as usually reported by the World Bank, but also takes into account additional indicators like HDI (Human development index) and life satisfac­tion indicator. Overall, the study provides an interesting review and compar­isons between countries and resolves some misperceptions that are typical­ly present in general public.","PeriodicalId":389229,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology, Tourism, Economics, Management and Agriculture","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127509433","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 goal is to model a data-driven ap­proach on a blockchain-based solution that helps reduce barriers to finding data on all vehicle transactions. The methods used are based on the anal­ysis of the current systems and platforms of vehicle lifecycle management and insurance policies from the business model perspective and security as­pects. The proposed technical solution consists of a general architecture for a permissioned blockchain-based vehicle lifecycle management used by manufacturers, insurance companies, and other stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":389229,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology, Tourism, Economics, Management and Agriculture","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129090676","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 terrain is situated at an elevation range of 915–1044 m above sea level, so it mostly has a pleasant pre-mountain climate, etc. Therefore, tourism supply is based on different products and activities: speleology; walking in nature; bicycling; riding; hiking; alpinism; fishing; hunting; skiing; and collecting medicinal herbs and mushrooms. The aim of the paper is to represent the Biambare tourist image based on identifying its central natural attributes and according to the evaluation of the visitor’s experience. The two relevant parameters for understanding tourist impressions are: “satisfaction” and “loyalty”. These are higher among foreign than resident visitors, particularly among Middle Eastern tourists, who favour this site above many others in Canton Sarajevo.","PeriodicalId":389229,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology, Tourism, Economics, Management and Agriculture","volume":"49 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131752220","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}

Horta, Rui Dias, Paula Heliodoro, Paulo Alexandre, Mariana Chambino","doi":"10.31410/itema.2022.217","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31410/itema.2022.217","url":null,"abstract":"The World Health Organization (WHO) designated coronavi­rus infection a worldwide pandemic in 2020, based on the risk of contagion and the number of confirmed cases in more than 195 countries. Covid-19 had a severe impact on the global economy as a result of uncertainty and pessimism, causing adverse effects on financial markets. On February 24th, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale military invasion against Ukraine, signify­ing a dramatic escalation of a conflict that began in 2014. Several analysts named the invasion the largest military invasion in Europe since World War II. In the context of these events, this paper aims to estimate whether port­folio diversification is practicable in the stock markets of Indonesia (JKSE), Malaysia (KLSE), South Korea (KOSPI), Japan (NIKKEI 400), Philippines (PSI), Thailand (SET) and China (SSEC), for the period from September 18th, 2017 to September 15th, 2022. In the purpose of reaching such analysis it is intended to provide answers to two questions: (i) if the global pandemic of 2020 and the Russian invasion in 2022 have accentuated financial integration in these Asian markets? (ii) If yes, the existence of persistence in returns, could put portfolio diversification into question? The results indicate that those mar­kets have low levels of integration, both in periods of normality and in peri­ods of global uncertainty. Complementarily, the 2020 and 2022 events have significantly increased persistence in these regional markets. These results demonstrate that prices do not fully reflect available information and that changes in prices are not i.i.d. This situation has implications for investors, as some returns may be expected, creating some opportunities for arbitrage and windfalls profits. The authors consider that these results provide an op­portunity for regulators in these regional markets to take efforts to ensure better information between these markets and the international markets.","PeriodicalId":389229,"journal":{"name":"Sixth International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology, Tourism, Economics, Management and Agriculture","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133042132","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}
