“…In synthesis, the Italian case study and the relative reflections are emblematic and useful for researchers and spatial planners, especially for those who work in growing countries (i.e., China and India) and also former communist EU countries [5,29] with similar urban or rural features and in which the phenomena are not yet so advanced. This approach can be particularly useful for leading the territorial systems within which the city fits, and is a fundamental element of moving toward higher levels of sustainability.…”

“…Hence, not only is the absolute data important, but also the land management methods used for agricultural and livestock activities. The research of Grešlová et al, for example, confirms "that shifts towards less animal-based food production have a positive effect on the agro-ecological energy returns on investment" and it reveals "significant insights on the interrelation of energy use, land use system and socioeconomic and political settings of society" [29,30]. Furthermore, in addition to the urban areas, "with farmers managing almost half of the EU's land area, the agricultural sector is a major source of pressure on Europe's environment" [31].…”

Spatial Planning Policy for Sustainability: Analysis Connecting Land Use and GHG Emission in Rural Areas

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the highest they have ever been and the climate change they have triggered is having consequences on both human and natural systems. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that an integrated reading of urban and rural land uses in relation to GHG emissions is feasible and useful at the regional level in order to reach emissions reduction. The Po Valley in Italy is an emblematic case study because its features are unique in Europe for high population density, urban sprawl, intensive agriculture, livestock management and consequently high emission levels. The methodology examines the total GHG emissions in relation to urban and rural areas. Between 2000 and 2010, the trend of CO2-equivalent emissions for the macro-regions of Italy shows a national decrease in contrast to the area of our case study which has seen a steady increase and growth trend over time. The paper analyzes some possible reasons linked to this anomaly, and it presents an estimation of the CO2-equivalent emissions related to the use of agricultural land. The main output of the paper is a new overview for research that aims to propose integrated solutions and policies at the local level with a wider vision focused on GHG emission knowledge, supported by Strategic Environmental Assessment.

“…System) are widely used for navigation, positioning, scientific [1][2][3][4], and engineering applications [5][6][7]. That includes deformations [8][9][10] and structure monitoring [11][12][13], GIS (Geographic Information System) applications [14][15][16], land use [16][17][18][19], and cadastre [20][21][22][23][24]. Among the widely known positioning techniques, such as static measurements or RTK (Real Time Kinematic), PPP (Precise Point Positioning) is increasingly growing in use; it is a relatively new positioning technique, presented for the first time in [25].…”

Knowledge of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) satellite clock error is crucial in real-time precise point positioning (PPP), seismology, and many other high-rate GNSS applications. In this work, the authors show the characterisation of the atomic GNSS clock’s stability and its dependency on the adopted orbit type using Allan deviation with two methods of averaging time. Four International GNSS Service (IGS) orbit types were used: broadcast, ultra-rapid, rapid and final orbit. The calculations were made using high-rate 1 Hz observations from the IGS stations equipped with external clocks (oscillators). The most stable receiver oscillator was chosen as a reference clock. The results show the advantage of the newest GPS satellite block with respect to the other satellites. Significant differences in the results based on the orbit type used have not been recorded. Many averaging time methods used in Allan deviation (ADEV) show the clock’s fluctuations, usually smoothed in 2n s averaging times.

“…Rural areas are administratively 93.4% of Poland's area (Górka 2018). Over the last 15-20 years, many structural changes took place in the agriculture in Poland, like in other countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Bański 2011;Grešlová et al 2019). The changes concerned, inter alia, the number of agricultural holdings, land area, crops structure, and livestock population.…”

Attitudes and opinions of farmers in the context of environmental protection in rural areas in Poland

This paper presents results of questionnaire surveys regarding the state of the natural environment in rural areas. The research was conducted on a sample of 1101 agricultural holdings in Poland. According to the analyses, agricultural producers are aware of environmental threats posed by irrational agricultural economy. Most respondents indicated the responsibility of farmers and other residents of rural areas as a basic condition for broadly understood environmental safety in rural areas in Poland. In the opinion of respondents, systems and programs for funding the replacement of heating boilers, thermomodernization of buildings, etc., are also important. There were significant differences in farmers' declarations, taking into account the age and level of education of the respondents, as well as features of agricultural holdings (area and economic size of the agricultural holding).
