Aim. To assess the demographic situation in the city of Kazan in 1995-2010. Methods. An assessment has been conducted based on the analysis of the dynamics of population size and composition, indices of fertility and mortality. Calculations of intensive and extensive indicators and their dynamic comparison were used as the research methods. Results. The maximum value of natural decrease in the population of Kazan, resulting from excess mortality above the level of fertility, fall on the period 2000-2001. However, beginning from 2002 this parameter began to decrease, and in 2010, when the rates of mortality and fertility equaled, registered was a zero natural growth. Reduction in the total fertility rate of the population of the city in the last decade of the twentieth century gave way to the growth of this indicator in 2001-2010. In the structure of mortality of the population in the city of Kazan the leaders are diseases of the cardiovascular system (61.1%), then - malignant tumors (16.3%), followed by - traums, poisoning and accidents (10.3%). The mortality remains high in the working-age population and almost a four-fold prevalence of middle age male mortality over female mortality has been established. The slight increase in the population of Kazan is due to the influx of migrants to the city and to the annexation of the village communities to the city. In the population structure the proportion of middle-aged and elderly citizen increases, while the proportion of children decreases. Conclusion. The demographic situation, which determines the strategy of organization of medical care for the population, should be under the survailance of the society.

The city of Daloa, located in the Ivorian west-centre, is experiencing a rapid spatial growth in recent years due to the acceleration of urbanization. This phenomenon, which should logically constitute an opportunity, because of the consumer market that it represents for the peri-urban villages, is becoming one of the causes of the tensions, then weakening social cohesion. The current urban dynamics cause the problem of space occupation by buildings and the destruction of natural and land resources around the city. Faced with this urban sprawl, which is increasingly aggressive and capable of swallowing up all the surrounding rural areas, the village communities express their concern over the transformation of their regions. In this framework, where the fear of the future has settled in the countryside and where land has become a major issue, the resulting competition for land is more than ever strengthened. This has resulted in land tensions that undermine their resilience faced with the scale of urbanization. The study, which is based on the dual quantitative and qualitative approach, aims to understand both the link between land tensions and urban spread and the perception and strategies developed by rural populations faced with urban pressure.

The article deals with the characteristics of the ethno-demographic situation in Northern Bukovyna and Khotyn region during their stay in Romania. It was found that one of the positive effects can be considered a gradual increase in the total population of the studied region by 15,69%. At a time when Ukrainians were experiencing a number of demographic disasters, the Bukovyna-Bessarabian region recovered from the aftermath of World War I and demonstrated a qualitative population growth trend. Along with this slowdown was urbanization. Although in the interwar period the number of urban population increased by 18,29%, but the ratio of rural and urban residents did not change significantly. Migration processes from the village to the city, even if they took place, are hardly reflected in statistics. The highest rates of population growth were observed in Chernivtsi (by 19,9%). Due to the lack of reliable census materials, it is not possible to determine the exact national composition of the region. Instead, it is confirmed that among all the nationalities, who lived in Vashkivtsi, Vyzhnytsia, Zastavna, Kitsman, Storozhynets, Khotyn and Chernivtsi districts that existed before 1925, and in Storozhynets, Khotyn and Chernivtsi districts formed instead of them, Ukrainians were predominant. Keywords: Northern Bukovyna, Khotyn region, population, national composition

Introduction. One of the priority socio-economic and medical-demographic problems in Russia is the high mortality. The study aim is to identify the most significant factors that determine the mortality on the example of two single-industry towns. Materials and methods. Mortality in two single-industry towns specializing in copper-nickel production, differenced in climate, environmental, and socio-economic indicators, was studied using age-standardized indicators averaged over 8 years (2010-2017). Results. In Monchegorsk, compared to Russia, with similar non-production characteristics, working-age mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) was higher by 49.0%, from malignant neoplasms (MN) by 34.7%, from diseases of the digestive system by 35.5%, which confirms the negative impact of occupational factors on the mortality of the population of a single-industry city. In Norilsk city, with the worst characteristics of the environment and climate, compared to Monchegorsk, mortality from CVD was lower in working age by 40.6%, in post-working age by 41.4%; from MN - in working age lower by 37.2% that shows the compensating influence of socio-economic factors on mortality. Conclusion. Risk factors for increased mortality rates in single-industry towns with copper-nickel enterprises are the influence of harmful occupational factors, as well as environmental pollution. Along with primary prevention, an effective mechanism for reducing mortality is to improve socio-economic well-being, and the quality of medical care.

ABSTRAK: Inti pokok masalah dalam penelitian ini meliputi latar belakang gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna, Faktor-faktor yang mendorong gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna, proses gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna dan akibat gerakan sosial masyarakat Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna? Latar belakang gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba yaitu keadaan kampungnya yang hanya terdiri dari beberapa kepala keluarga tiap kampung dan jarak yang jauh masing-masing kampung membuat keadaan masyarakatnya sulit untuk berkomnikasi dan tiap kampung hanya terdiri dari lima sampai dengan tujuh kepala keluarga saja. Kampung ini letaknya paling timur pulau Muna terbentang dari ujung kota Raha sekarang sampai kampung Wakuru yang saat ini. Kondisi ini juga yang menjadi salah satu faktor penyebab kampung ini kurang berkembang baik dibidang ekonomi, sosial politik, pendidikan maupun di bidang kebudayaan. Keadaan ini diperparah lagi dengan sifat dan karakter penduduknya yang masih sangat primitif. Faktor yang mendorong adanya gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna adalah adanya ketidaksesuaian antara keinginan pemerintah setempat dan masyarakat yang mendiami Kampung Labaluba pada waktu itu. Sedangkan proses gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna bermula ketika pemerintah seolah memaksakan kehendaknya kepada rakyat yang menyebabkan rakyat tidak setuju dengan kebijakan tersebut. Akibat yang ditimbulkan dari adanya gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna terbagi dua yaitu akibat positif dan akibat negatif.Kata Kunci: Gerakan Sosial, Factor dan Dampaknya ABSTRACT: The main issues in this study include the background of the social movement of Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District, Muna District, Factors that encourage social movements of Labaluba Kampung Sub-village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District, Muna District, the social movement process of Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District Muna Regency and due to Labaluba community social movements Kontumere Village Kabawo District Muna Regency? The background of the Labaluba Kampung community social movement is that the condition of the village consists of only a few heads of households per village and the distance of each village makes it difficult for the community to communicate and each village only consists of five to seven households. This village is located east of the island of Muna stretching from the edge of the city of Raha now to the current village of Wakuru. This condition is also one of the factors causing the village to be less developed in the economic, social political, educational and cultural fields. This situation is made worse by the very primitive nature and character of the population. The factor that motivated the existence of the social movement of Labaluba Village in Kontumere Village, Kabawo Subdistrict, Muna Regency was the mismatch between the wishes of the local government and the people who inhabited Labaluba Village at that time. While the process of social movements in Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo District, Muna Regency began when the government seemed to impose its will on the people, causing the people to disagree with the policy. The consequences arising from the existence of social movements in Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo District, Muna Regency are divided into two, namely positive and negative effects. Keywords: Social Movements, Factors and their Impacts

This chapter considers the phenomenon of queer migration from a linguistic perspective, paying particular attention to the constitutive role of spatial mobility in narrative and its role in the construction of queer migrant identities. The chapter begins by looking at the way in which queer migration has been discussed in the literature and then moves on to address three different types of queer migration in greater depth: migration within national borders from the village/countryside to the city; migration between cities in member states within the context of the European Union; and finally, asylum-seeking within the context of migration from the Global South to the Global North. The chapter concludes by suggesting that queer migration is a complex phenomenon in which the intersection of sexuality, gender identity, desire, affect, abjection, economic necessity, class, politics, and fear for one’s life combine in ways that are unique in the lives of individual migrants.

A key theme in urban governance research is how neoliberalism reshapes the state–society relationship. Our study on Guangzhou, where urban regeneration through massive redevelopment of “villages-in-the-city” uncovered interactions between the state, market, and community in local governance, contributes to this debate. Based on intensive field research to analyze three projects, we find that what really controls neoliberal growth in China is not simply the authoritarian tradition of the socialist state but also the power of the indigenous village communities. Our findings suggest that state intervention for community building is vital for rebalancing power relations between the state, market, and community.
