Introduction. Following any war, the destruction of cities causes severe damage to the lives of citizens, so urban planning and accelerating the process of renovation and development of a city is the priority of every country after the war, in order to reduce the damage caused by war. Since then, citizens can resume their normal living in their hometowns. The process of urban renovation and development takes a long time, and the main urban indicators should be regularly evaluated in different dimensions to find out whether the living environment has improved and the preset urban goals have been achieved. Materials and methods. In this study, the process of renovation and development of the city of Homs was analyzed by evaluating the pre-selected social and economic indicators. The sign test and the Wilcoxon test were used to evaluate and compare the indicators before and after the war. Results. The results of the research show that the null hypothesis of this research was rejected with a z-value of –3.137916 and a p-value of 0.002 in respect of the social dimension. Also, the zero hypothesis of this research is rejected in the economic dimension according to the results of the Wilcoxon test. The results show that the z-value is equal to –2.075 and the p-value is equal to 0.038, which is less than 0.50 and, hence, insignificant. The rejection of the null hypothesis and the large number of negative indicators in the social dimension indicate that the process of renovation and development of the city of Homs is very slow after the war and the city has not been able to approach the desired stable condition. Conclusions. This research has found that only 11 indicators out of 45 improved in the process of renovation and development of the city of Homs after the war if compared to the pre-war period. In fact, more than 75 % of selected indicators were negative, and this shows the slow pace of urban renovation and development with an emphasis on the sustainable city of Homs.

Este trabalho explora algumas matrizes do pensamento social brasileiro em sua abordagem da formação do espaço urbano no país, em particular no que concerne às relações raciais, étnicas e culturais nas cidades. Parte da hipótese de que, a partir dos anos 20, o discurso urbanístico encontra na eugenia e no regionalismo bases confiáveis ao realinhamento nacionalista de sua intervenção técnica no espaço e na cultura de cidades complexamente divididas. Tendo em vista a problemática contemporânea das renovações urbanas, examina as questões de segregação social, distribuição no espaço e identificação cultural de grupos étnicos, nacionais e regionais em estudos e trechos de estudos sobre cidades de Oliveira Vianna, Gilberto Freyre, José Mariano Filho, Donald Pierson e Samuel Lowrie. Palavras-chave: urbanismo; cidade; nação; pensamento social brasileiro; relações raciais; etnicidade; eugenia; culturalismo; regionalismo. "Urbanism and its alter: race, culture and the city in Brazil (1920-1945)" Abstract: This paper deals with some important sources of the social thought in Brazil as they refer to the formation of the urban space in the country, particularly in respect to racial, ethnic, and cultural relations in the city. It raises the hypothesis that the urbanistic discourse, from the 1920s onwards, finds in eugenics and regionalism some reliable basis for the nationalistic realignment of its technical intervention in complexly divided urban spaces and cultures. Having in mind the contemporary question of urban renovation, it specially examines matters of social segregation, spatial distribution and cultural identification of ethnic, national and regional groups in some writings of Oliveira Vianna, Gilberto Freyre, José Mariano Filho, Donald Pierson and Samuel Lowrie. Keywords: urbanism; city; nation; Brazilian social thought; racial relationships; ethnicity; eugenics; culturalism; regionalism.

<p>Peatlands become one of the potential resources that could be developed as an area of rice farming to improve national food security. Agricultural cultivation in peatlands, if not managed well, will contribute to environmental destruction and land degradation, which will ultimately affect land productivity. As a first step in preparing the development of rice farming, research on the application of technology has conducted. This research included water management, which consists of:  without water management or control (A0), <em>macak-macak</em> water management (A1) and intermittent water management (A2). Moreover, research on pesticide application was also conducted which consist of: without pesticide application or control (P0), Paraquat herbicide application at the time of tillage (P1), Fenobucarb insecticide applications every week (P2), Fenobucarb insecticide applications every two weeks (P3), Difenoconazole fungicide applications every week (P4), Difenoconazole fungicide applications every two week (P5).  This study aims to determine the level of sustainability of rice farming in peatlands, and the dominant factors that influence by considering economic, social and environmental through a Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) approach. The analysis shows a quite sustainable level, with score for each dimension is 53.13 for the economic dimension, 69.49 for the ecological dimension and 61.79 for the social dimension. The dominant factors to be considered for the sustainability of rice farming in peatlands are changes in the level of decomposition of organic matter, farming purpose and outreach intensity.</p>

Taking Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei as an example, it analyzes the comprehensive competitiveness of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. It selects four dimensions: economic dimension, social dimension, environmental dimension, and technological dimension. From a new perspective, it explores the application of niche theory in regional synergy. Based on the analysis of the ecological niche, the coordination degree model of the composite system is further used to calculate the status quo of the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region from 2013 to 2019. The results show that Beijing has the highest ecological niche, followed by Tianjin, and Hebei is the weakest. In 2019, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is at a good level of coordination, with the social subsystem having the highest order and the technological subsystem having the lowest order. Based on this, it is proposed that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions should be scientifically positioned, the overall need to be aligned with international trends, and the internal planning should be integrated to further enhance the level of cooperation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

  La gestión del deporte contemporáneo gira en torno a la performance organizacional y su consecuencia en la performance deportiva. Se diseñó un estudio de casos, ex post facto, un análisis retrospectivo (2000-2019) de una unidad organizacional (Federación Española de Bádminton, FESBA) de naturaleza preferentemente cualitativa, que interactúa con predicciones estadísticas y análisis de las evoluciones temporales. El estudio contempla cinco dimensiones (Económica, Deportiva, Social, Organizativa y Difusión) y veinticinco variables. La dimensión social, económica, organización de competiciones nacionales, calidad de los resultados y difusión se muestran como indicadores claves (dimensiones palancas). La dimensión económica correlaciona con licencias de deportistas, número de clubes y competiciones nacionales organizadas (Rho=.964, .967 y .904 respectivamente). La dimensión organizativa tuvo una consecuencia directa en un aumento de las competiciones nacionales, consiguiendo un mayor interés por el seguimiento del bádminton en los canales de difusión (Rho=.838). Se han apreciado crecimientos estables en la dimensión social. Es a partir de 2014 cuando se acentúa esta evolución, coincidiendo con una estrategia audiovisual por parte de FESBA y una proyección de la figura de Carolina Marín. Los recursos de la FESBA han permitido obtener un mayor número de practicantes generando más licencias escolares, en un sistema de competiciones nacionales, con un incremento de la variable calidad de resultados, simultáneamente con un mayor número de licencias federadas y clubes. Esta afirmación interactúa con el efecto de difusión en TV y medios. Se demuestra la sincronía entre la evolución de los datos analizados y el desempeño materializado en los distintos programas desarrollados por FESBA.  Abstract. The management of contemporary sports is based on organizational performance and its consequence in sports performance. An ex post facto case study was designed, a retrospective analysis (2000-2019) of an organizational unit (Spanish Badminton Federation, FESBA) of apreferably qualitative nature, which interacts with statistical predictions and analysis of temporal evolutions. The study includes five dimensions (Economic, Sports, Social, Organizational and Dissemination) and twenty-five variables. The social and economic dimensions, the organization of national competitions, the quality of the results and the dissemination are shown as key indicators (leverage dimensions). The economic dimension correlates with sportsman's licenses, number of clubs and organized national competitions (Rho = .964, .967 and .904 respectively). The organizational dimension had a direct consequence in anncrease in national competitions, achieving a greater interest in broadcast channels (Rho = .838). Stable growth has been observed in the social dimension. It is from 2014 when this evolution is accentuated, coinciding with an audiovisual strategy by FESBA and a projection of the figure of Carolina Marín. The resources of the FESBA have made it possible to obtain a greater number of practitioners generating more school licenses, in a system of national competitions, with an increase in the variable quality of results, simultaneously with a greater number of official licenses and clubs. This statement interacts with the broadcast effect on TV and the media. The synchrony between the evolution of the data analyzed and the performance materialized in the different programs developed by FESBA is demonstrated.

Cities play an important role in the development of economies, generating wealth and well-being for citizens, providing better, energy efficient and sustainable services and giving residents their rightful place as the cornerstone of city management. Spain has a quite unique example of a smart city, Vitoria-Gasteiz. This is an emblematic city for Europe, which awarded this municipality the title of European Green Capital 2012. This paper seeks to analyse the best sustainable practices through a case study based on content analysis of this city's website. In the social dimension, the results highlight the promotion of resident participation through municipal services, to ensure public debate and transparency. In the environmental dimension, the city has a sustainable mobility plan that aims to reverse the trend towards an increased use of private vehicles by promoting the use of buses, trams and bicycles. Finally, in the economic dimension, the findings underscore the city's economic rigour, transparency in management and economic recovery.

The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) member countries contain tourism resources that can attract foreign tourists to visit. This is also a good opportunity for national development under the concept of sustainability in three dimensions, i.e., environmental, economic, and social. Data from 1990 to 2019 was used, which were brought for the unit root test. Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) was used for finding the cointegration, and the vector error correction model (VECM) and Vector autoregression (VAR) were utilized for finding the short-term relationship. The Granger causality test was based on the travel expenses on the factors of sustainability. The results revealed that the data had different stationarity levels. Similarly, the influences of travel expenses on the dimensions of sustainability of each country were different, too. The long-term relationship was found from the travel expenses on the environmental dimension in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand. The travel expenses were the Granger causality for the environmental dimension in those countries, and had a long-term relationship on the social dimension in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. However, this factor only showed the Granger causality on the social dimension in Myanmar. For the economic dimension, travel expenses had a long-term relationship only in Cambodia, and the Granger causality for the economic dimension in Cambodia and Thailand. However, travel expenses did not affect the sustainability in any dimensions in Vietnam, which possibly implied that the influences of travel expenses on sustainability in different indicators depended on the structure, readiness, and the context of each country.
