The study of the geoecological problems of the coastal zone of the Taganrog Bay is still not given due attention by the administrative authorities. Although it is the deterioration of the geoecological situation that deserves special attention. In this regard, the assessment of the development of modern ecological and geological processes is an urgent task. The coast of the Taganrog Bay has an exceptionally advantageous geographical position, and has a significant natural resource potential, which contributes to the development of various types of economic activities and causes a deep transformation of the natural complex of the coastal zone

The main factors of the formation of hazardous coastal processes have been established, 38 functional areas and a zone of impact of hazardous abrasion and landslide processes predicted for a 20-year period have been identified in the coastal zone of the Azov Sea by their uniform combination in the coastal zone of the Azov Sea. In the forecasted area, 112 socio-economic objects have been identified that are exposed to hazardous abrasion and landslide processes. A methodology has been developed and the socio-economic risk of manifestation of abrasion and landslide processes in the coastal zone of the Azov Sea has been assessed. The highest values of the socio-economic risk of abrasion and landslide processes occur in abrasion and abrasion-landslide areas of the coast with a high speed abrasion, a large number of capital construction projects and a high value of material losses. For socio-economic objects in the risk zone, an enlarged calculation of the possible economic damage was made. The value of the predicted (in the future for 20 years) total economic damage from the consequences of the manifestation of abrasion and landslide processes in the coastal zone of the Azov Sea will amount to 756,7 million rubles, of which 114,4 million rubles will fall on the northern coast of the Taganrog Bay, 156,8 million rubles – to the southern coast of the Taganrog Bay and 485,6 million rubles – to the southeast coast of the Azov Sea. The most dangerous areas of abrasion and landslide processes for capital construction sites are: on the northern shore of the Taganrog Bay – Botsmanovsky, with damage to capital structures – more than 50 million rubles, Zolotokosovsky – more than 16 million rubles; Kuchugurskiy – more than 17 million rubles – on the southeast coast of the Azov Sea.

The complication of cholera epidemic situation in Ukraine (2011) caused the reinforcement measures on monitoring Vibrio cholerae in seawater in Taganrog Bay in the framework of measures for prevention of the spread of infection over the territory of the Rostov region and the country. Phenotypic and genotypic features of 3 selected atoxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae eltor O1 and 1 toxigenic strain of V. cholerae eltor Inaba № 301, containing the hybrid prophage were characterized. With great probability there was established the absence of association of this strain with the outbreak of infection within the territory of the neighboring country, but there was revealed his relationship with to imported strains (1999, 2005). Atoxigenic strains were similar to strains previously detected in water bodies of the Rostov region. The implementation of the set of measures for the strengthening of epidemiological control permitted to prevent the importation of infection into the territory of the Russian Federation in 2011 - 2012.

Identification of patterns of formation of regional environmental and socio-economic problems in the system “society–nature” and on this basis—to ensure public safety and minimize the economic damage social infrastructure are the main objectives of the study. The object of research is the coastal zone of the Sea of Azov (Russian sector) The subject of the research is a comprehensive analysis of the factors of sustainable development of the coastal zones of the Azov Sea region (Russian sector) based on an integral approach. The paper considers methods for constructing a comprehensive risk analysis model for the coastal zones of the Azov Sea region (Russian sector), which should consider various influencing factors of coastal risks at the same time. The analysis of the main indicators of medical, social, and demographic processes in the selected reference areas of the Rostov region and the Krasnodar Territory of the coastal zone of the Azov Sea is carried out. A comparative assessment of the economic stability of the municipal districts of the Rostov region and the Krasnodar Territory has been carried out. The work used the software ArcGIS Pro (methods of multi-criteria spatial statistics), the DECERNS MCDA DE module (including a set of tools for multi-criteria analysis of decision-making). The study also used the ArcGIS multicriteria statistics similarity method, which relies on statistical tools to analyze the distribution of data and identify patterns (trends). The novelty of the proposed research is the application of the theory of complex risk analysis to analyze the sustainable development of the coastal zone and the choice of indicators that are key for this territory. The theoretical novelty of the research lies in the use of an interdisciplinary approach and a set of complementary methods from various sciences.

RESUMO Introdução: O novo coronavírus surgiu na cidade de Wuhan, na China central, através da comercialização de animais selvagens. Ele pode ser disseminado entre os indivíduos não só pelas vias respiratórias, mas também por exposição direta ou indireta com as mucosas ocular, bucal e nasal. No estado do Tocantins, em virtude da baixa adesão ao isolamento social e insuficiência de leitos hospitalares, associados à posição geográfica que promove interações entre regiões, lugares, cidades e pessoas, facilitando a propagação da Covid-19, ocorreu em Palmas a primeira notificação, em 18 de março de 2020. Já no interior do estado, a primeira ocorreu em 27 de março de 2020 em Araguaína, que exerce a segunda principal centralidade urbana no estado. Objetivos: Avaliar a influência dos aspectos socioeconômicos e demográficos no controle, manejo e resolução dos casos de Covid-19 do Estado do Tocantins. Metodologia: Foi realizado levantamento bibliográfico na base de dados eletrônicos do Google Scholar, utilizando-se os descritores “Covid-19”, “epidemiologia”, “pandemia” e “Tocantins”. Resultados:  Notou-se que os casos se concentram principalmente em polos regionais, onde rodovias e o movimento de pessoas contribuem de forma significativa para haver disseminação do coronavírus, sobretudo no Médio Norte do Araguaia, sendo Araguaína a cidade com a maior porcentagem de óbitos, a maioria do sexo masculino. Importante lembrar que os diferentes níveis socioeconômicos entre as populações do Tocantins exemplificados pela dificuldade de acesso à informação têm contribuído para o aumento do número de casos. Além disso, destaca-se a questão da subnotificação de casos assintomáticos e a insuficiência da distribuição de testes para todos. Conclusão: A circulação interestadual e internacional implicou na entrada e na disseminação da pandemia de Covid-19 no Tocantins, seguindo curvas ascendentes sobretudo em municípios sem nenhuma condição para o atendimento médico-hospitalar de casos graves, implicando, portanto, em maior demora para a flexibilização das atividades econômicas. Palavras-chave: COVID-19; Epidemiologia; Pandemia; Tocantins.   ABSTRACT Introduction: The new coronavirus first appeared in the city of Wuhan, in Central China, through the commercialization of wild animals. It can be disseminated not only through the airways, but also through direct or indirect exposure to the ocular, oral and nasal mucosa. In the state of Tocantins, due to low acceptence to social isolation and insufficient number of hospital beds, associated with the geographical position which promotes interactions between regions, places, cities and people, facilitating the spread of Covid-19, the first notification occurred in the capital Palmas, on March 18, 2020. In the other parts of the state, the first case was on March 27, 2020 in Araguaína, which represents the second main urban centrality in the state. Objectives: to evaluate the influence of socioeconomic and demographic aspects in the control, management and resolution of Covid-19 cases in the State of Tocantins. Methodology: A bibliographic survey was carried out on Google Scholar electronic database, using the descriptors "Covid-19", "epidemiology", "pandemic" and "Tocantins". Results: It was noted that the cases are mainly concentrated in regional centers, where highways and the mass movement of people contribute to spread the coronavirus, especially in the Middle North of Araguaia, with Araguaína being the city with the highest percentage of deaths, most male. It is important to remember that the different socioeconomic levels among the populations of Tocantins, exemplified by the difficulty in accessing information, have contributed to increase the number of cases. Moreover, the underreporting of asymptomatic cases and the insufficient distribution of tests to everyone are highlighted. Conclusion: The interstate and international circulation resulted in the entrance and dissemination of the Covid-19 pandemic in Tocantins, following upward curves, especially in municipalities without any condition for medical and hospital care of serious cases, thus implying a delay in flexibilization of the economic activities. Keywords: COVID-19; Epidemiology; Pandemic; Tocantins.

The study is devoted to the assessment of areal losses of various types of land use in the coastal zone of the Taganrog Bay as a result of the manifestation of dangerous exogenous geological processes. The method of estimating the movement of the coastline using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) v5. add-on to the Esri ArcGIS Desktop 10.4-10.6. The superstructure allows you to calculate the statistics of the speed of its change from several historical positions of the coastline, based on the constructed sections (transects) perpendicular to the shore with a given step. Based on the calculated statistics, a forecast of the coastline is formed (for 10 or 20 years ahead) based on historical data on the location of the coastline. The construction of forecast horizons is performed using the Kalman filter to combine the observed positions of the coastline with the simulated positions to predict the future position of the coastline. The data sources were archival images of high and medium resolution satellite missions “Corona“, “Spot“, “Sentinel-2“. Based on the calculated abrasion rates for the northern coast of the Taganrog Bay from 1967 to 2020, and for the southern coast from 1971 to 2020, forecast horizons for 10 and 20 years ahead are formed and the areas of land with different types of land use falling into the expected collapse zone are calculated. The results obtained show that on the northern coast, the types of “wastelands“ and beaches are most susceptible to collapse, while on the southern coast, the main type falling under the collapse is arable land. A similar trend is typical for the entire coast as a whole.

Because current emissions accounting approaches focus on an entire city, cities are often considered to be large emitters of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with no attention to the variation within them. This makes it more difficult to identify climate change mitigation strategies that can simultaneously reduce emissions and address place-specific development challenges. In response to this gap, a bottom-up emissions inventory study was undertaken to identify high emission zones and development goals for the Durban metropolitan area (eThekwini Municipality). The study is the first attempt at creating a spatially disaggregated emissions inventory for key sectors in Durban. The results indicate that particular groups and economic activities are responsible for more emissions, and socio-spatial development and emission inequalities are found both within the city and within the high emission zone. This is valuable information for the municipality in tailoring mitigation efforts to reduce emissions and address development gaps for low-carbon spatial planning whilst contributing to objectives for social justice.

The city of Firenze represents, for the variety of its artistic and architectural heritage, a kind of open-air museum. Works of art and monuments are mainly made of the rocks outcropping in Firenze and in the surrounding areas; indeed, a close link exists between monuments, geographical position of the city and its history. Florence, is characterised by the color of its stone-built cultural heritage, mainly by the warm ochraceous color of the Medieval Pietraforte sandstone and the cerulean grey of the Renaissance Pietra Serena sandstone together with other natural and artificial materials used to complete or cover the stone walls. The web-app Florence RockinArt was created to deepen the knowledge of the stone materials. It is addressed to all those who are interested in discovering the monuments of Florence by carefully observing the stone materials that make up them. The web-app contains short historical notes on the main monuments and detailed geological, mineralogical and petrographic characteristics of the natural and artificial materials of which they are constituted.
