Energy access plays a crucial role in enhancing the social-economic development among the household members in any nation. Notwithstanding the role of energy access in improving the livelihood of people, the problem of energy access has revealed to be more serious in rural areas of Tanzania. The increased in problem of energy access in rural areas of the developing countries is due to the absence of a unified set of indicators for measuring the energy access to rural households from developing countries including Tanzania. This study therefore, aimed at determining the indicators of energy access in rural areas of Tanzania.The study employed Cross- sectional type of the research design to collect data from 384 heads of household from the rural areas of Njombe and Iringa regions in Tanzania. Moreover, the Quantitative Exploratory Factor Analysis using Principal Component analysis and varimax method was employed to determine the indicators of energy access. The identified indicators using exploratory Factor Analysis was further confirmed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The study findings revealed that, the indicators for measuring the provision of energy access to rural households in developing countries including Tanzania ranked based on its importance are: availability, affordability, durability, efficient, no production of smokes, easy to use and ability to keep cooking facilities clean.Based on these findings, the study concludes that, indicators of energy access are important in enhancing the social economic development and improvement of the livelihood of people in rural areas. In the light of this conclusion the study recommends to government energy experts and other practitioners of to use the identified indictors when measuring energy access to rural households in Tanzania in order to improve the livelihood and their standard of living.

The Crimean Peninsula

Despite the wide popularity of the Crimean region, its scientific descriptions are full of gaps. In the Soviet period, the research was limited by the unspoken prohibitions on the study of social processes and by the absence of a strong scientific school. After the collapse of the USSR, the Crimean region was considered only in the works on social aspects of migration and on artificial transformations of the ethnic-confessional composition of the population. The change in the status of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 made this region interesting for the Russian science: there are many recent articles on the features of the social-economic development of the peninsula, but a number of issues in the life of Crimea are still poorly understood. One of them is the migration on the peninsula: the historical ethnic migrations are sufficiently described but not the contemporary population movements. Historically, migration processes have played an important role in the social-economic development of Crimea. However, until recently, external migrations were the driver of this development, while since the beginning of the 21st century, migration movements within the peninsula have played this role, and their features should be taken into account in planning and financing the rural development. Rural areas of Crimea remain agrarian-overpopulated; therefore, it is necessary to identify areas promising for capital investment and areas that soon will be depopulated due to the lack of opportunities for human and social capital. The author considers the population exchange between urban and rural areas as an important factor for the demographic situation, and focuses on the reasons and features of the spatial mobility and migration of the Crimean population based on the analysis of statistical data and transport links between the city and the countryside.

Abstract Background: Previous studies had indicated that the incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) was closed related to the regional aging population and socio-economic condition. However, spatio-temporal variation and risk determinants of TB in aging population and socio-economic development unbalanced region have been unclear.Methods: The data on TB registered cases and social-economic factors from 2009 to 2014 were collected for each district/county in the region with Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province of China, which is consist of aging population and social-economic development disparity region. The Bayesian space–time hierarchy model was used to reveal the spatio-temporal variation of elderly TB incidence from 2009 to 2014, and GeoDetector was applied to measure the determinant power (q statistic) of elderly TB risk factors.Results: Elderly TB incidence present geographical spatial heterogeneity, they were higher in underdeveloped rural areas compared with that in urban areas. The hotspots of elderly TB incidence risk were mostly located in the northeastern and southern regions of the study region distant from metropolitan areas. Areas with low risk were mainly distributed in the Beijing-Tianjin metropolitan areas. Social-economic factors presented nonlinear influence on elderly TB incidence, the dominant factors were income of rural populations (q statistic = 0.20) and medical conditions (q statistic = 0.17). These factors presented nonlinearly interact with each other in influencing the elderly TB incidence; medical conditions and level of economic development showed the strongest relationship (q statistic = 0.54).Conclusions: These findings explain spatiotemporal variation and risk determinants of elderly TB incidence where there are social-economic development disparities. High-risk zones were mainly located in rural areas far from metropolitan centers. Medical conditions and economic development level were significantly association with elderly TB incidence, and they showed nonlinearly interact with each other in influencing the elderly TB incidence. Knowing this helps to optimize the allocation of health resources and to control the transmission of the TB epidemic in the aging population in this region.

From the present course of solution of the project “Creation of diagnostic methods set for monitoring efficiency of support from the EU funds” knowledge, it resulted that the regional development potential, if you like the potential of regional development, is necessary to be perceived as a dynamic social-economic category, on which many influencing factors have an effect and is which in the region connected with space, in which many quantitative and qualitative processes take place. In the solved project, it is dealt with a complex conception of all factors influencing natural potential and processes connected with it, demographic, economic and social potential, and processes which work upon the change of this potential. On the base of the hitherto selected criteria, it has been possible to compare the social-economic development and economic efficiency of particular districts, resp. regions, and their following aggregation in the frame of regions of cohesion.
