<p><em>Aceh is a province of Indonesia that currently consists of 23 districts/municipalities that are generally divided into three (3) regions, namely, the Northeast (11 districts/municipalities), the Middle-southeast (4 districts) and the Southwest (8 districts/municipalities) regions. These regions have different natural, human, social, political, and cultural resources. These differences have caused uneven economic development, which has further caused developmental disparity among the regions. </em></p><p><em>This study aims to assess the extent of developmental disparity among regions and to analyze the impact of Gross Regional Domestic Product per capita on regional developmental disparity in the three (3) regions of Aceh province in the period of 2000-2014. The data used in this research are secondary data that were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and the Regional Development Planning Board (Badan Perencanaan Daerah/Bappeda) of Aceh Province. To identify the level of inequality, the researcher utilizes Williamson Index;whereas to determine theimpact of Regional GDP per capita on the inequality of regional development, the researcher utilizes a semi logarithmic linear regression model that includes a discussion on the correlationcoefficient (R), determination coefficient (R Square), and t test using SPSS.</em></p><p><em>Based on estimation results, the researcher discovers that, for the North-East region,the value of correlation coefficient (R) is 0.8032, the value of determination coefficient is 64.52%, and the equation for Y isY = -1.8942 + 0,1263X;for the Middle-Southeast region, the value ofcorrelation coefficientis0.6760, the value of determination coefficient is 45.70%, and the equation for Y is Y = 0.6441 + 0,0400X, and;for the Southwest region,the value ofcorrelation coefficientis 0.4045, the value of determination coefficient is 16.36%, and the equation for Y is Y = -0.4703 + 0,0318X. As for the t test, the researcher discovers that for North-East region the per capita regional GDP wast<sub>count</sub>&gt; t<sub>table</sub>(4.671&gt; 1.7823);for the Middle-Southeast regional t<sub>count</sub>&lt;t<sub>table</sub>(-3.178&lt;1.7823), and; for the Southwest region t<sub>count</sub>&lt;t<sub>table</sub> (1.532 &lt;1.7823). These per capita regional GDP values mean that only in the Northeast region does the variable of per capita regional GDP have a real impact on the variables of regional developmental disparity. This is consistent with the fact that the Northeast region is much more advanced and developed than the other two regions.</em></p><p><strong><em>JEL Classification: </em></strong>O10, O11, O15 <em></em></p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>GDP, Index of Williamson and Discrepancy, Per capita GDP, Total of population</em>

The Stream-flow is key component of hydro power project regulation. The present study has been conducted to identify the impact of climate change on stream flow of Ranganadi River, a sub-set of Brahmaputra basin situated at north-East region of India, which receives more rainfall as compare to other parts of India The three GCM model viz.HadCM3, CGCM2 and GFDL monthly data with A2 scenario have been choose for Downscaling by advanced neural technique (Artificial Neural Network).The prediction result show as an positive increasing trend up to 2040 for Ranganadi River. This will create the flood problem but capacity of hydroelectricity generation will be increase.

The global crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic among the population and at the level of companies, state institutions, etc., underlined the importance of analysing its impact at different levels (intern, national and international level). The concepts of sustainability, development and growth must be aware, adapted and implemented more and more frequently, even constantly, in order to cope with the current evolution of the economy (and not only). The paper is an empirical research conducted in the North-East Region of Romania, aiming to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on local companies (especially SME’s), in the context of existing correlation between the COVID-19 impact on resizing, restricting, changing the number of active employees, changing revenue, changing turnover and changing profit, based on the Spearman correlation coefficients. In this sense, it was important to implement sustainability strategies and ensure the activity and resources of companies in the long term, because the effects of an economic crisis (natural resources, human resources, not only financial) are felt in 2021 and will be felt in the future 10 years. The paper concludes with two practical solutions to ensure the sustainability of the companies involved in the study, solutions that can be applied by all companies that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This research is directed (main objective) towards differentiation, tracking and presentation of the functional sustainability trends of regional development in Bulgaria (NUTS BG3). The proposals are based on empirical and statistical information processed in the GIS environment for the period 2008-2016. The used research approaches are general geographic and cartographic: cybernetic approach; systematic and correlation analysis; choropleth mapping and proportional symbols. The subject of this analysis is Goal 1. of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, which states:“End poverty in all its forms everywhere“. The object of this research is Bulgaria (NUTS BG3). The obtained results was presented in three thematic maps, one table and one figure. Our main goals was: Presentation of the results from the considered aspect of the regional policy for sustainable development of the European Union in Bulgaria, based on the absolute values of the considered indicators (Thematic map 1 and 2); Determination of the trend of functional sustainability of regional development in Bulgaria as a means of mapping the impact of centrifugal and centripetal forces, creating and exacerbating the spatial imbalances - center / periphery in Bulgaria. (Thematic map 3) The obtained results show the decrease in the absolute values of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion and the increase of GDP per capita. The differentiated trend of functional sustainability of regional development in Bulgaria (Thematic Map 3) was transformed and supplemented on the basis of established subjectivity in the interpretation of the impact of the phenomena under consideration (the rate of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion and GDP per capita) . As a result, it was structured a method for mapping the impact of centrifugal and centripetal forces, generating and deepening the spatial imbalances - center / periphery in Bulgaria (in particular).

India's North-East Region has greater demand for road and personalized modes of transport powered by fossil fuels. And due to emissions, there has been evidence of climate change. It has been found that diesel cars cause greater emissions (per kilometer travelled) as compared to petrol cars; therefore, the use of diesel should be discouraged. The chapter suggests that the emissions in case of public transport passenger-km are lesser than other modes of transport. However, in the North-East Region, there is negligible share of public transport due to poor infrastructure and service facilities. Therefore, improvements should be made with regard to public transport system so that considerable number of passengers shifts to public transport modes. Further, it is inferred that use of alternate vehicle or fuel technologies like hybrid electric vehicles, biofuel, biodiesel, hydrogen fuel need to be initiated to mitigate the climate change.

"This study was designed to investigate how dairy farmers of AL-Dhulel cooperative Dairy Society (ACDS) perceive climate change, the adaptation strategies adopted by farmers to cope with the impact of climate change and the barriers to the adoption of these strategies. A 92 dairy farmers provided with a questionnaire that was developed to collect the data and covered farmers perception, adaptation strategies, and the barriers facing them towards adopting the strategies. The personal interviews with the farmers were performed during early January, 2020. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The main result obtained from the study that most of dairy farmers were aware of the climate change impact on dairy cattle performance and health. Furthermore, the adaptation strategies that was suggested has limiting factors according to farmers as a result of governmental and agricultural institutions restriction polices. Therefore, recommendations regarding new polices was suggested to facilitate the way of getting benefit from grants and financial support for improving dairy farms and to mitigate the effect of climate change on dairy cattle."

This paper tries to evaluate regional development under the impact of Belem-Brasilia Road. According to a tipology of spatial development based on the analyses of regional devepment profile, the area was classified as a resource frontier under slow growth. The road's major positive effect was in the urbanization process, favoring regional centers located at both ends of the artery. Possibilities of higher family incomes are offered only to the poor rural migrants from the northeast region.

AbstractThe hydrogeological environment of the Saharan North East region of Tindouf is of utmost interest, particularly in agriculture. In fact, exploitation and exploration processes must be analysed to ensure sufficient water production. This study demonstrates the value of spatial processing and exploitation of geoelectric and geological data in the study area and facilitates interpretation. The results of the electrical survey and the spatial analysis of the data allowed us to design a complete model that met the needs of hydrogeology. The applied methodology consists in breaking down our subject into three (3) classes of entities: geomatics, geophysics and hydrogeology. Synthetic mapping based on continuity is the result of studying two sites (Hassi Naga and Hassi Khebi) for geological analysis. Knowing that the electrical resistivity is between 0 and 3000 Ohm-meter, we were able to construct thematic maps showing the spatial distribution of the facies and the probable positions of the boreholes. The study provided with a geo-spatial model highlighting the impact of measurements in hydrogeology of the area considered that was called SIHE (Information System for Environmental Hydrogeology).
