“…At the same time, the original data and its collection method are the key to this study. Choosing different data often has an important impact on land development policies [63]. Due to constraints inherent to data collection, certain influential factors such as soil erosion, precipitation, and temperature impacts on the ecological environment were not incorporated into the assessment.…”

Ecological sensitivity measures an ecosystem’s reaction and restoration difficulty to exogenous disturbances. Regional ecological and environmental challenges can be identified using ecological sensitivity evaluation. The regional characteristics and environmental challenges of plateau lakes were quantified to create four assessment indexes: landform, natural conditions, human activities, and ecological security. Eleven ecologically sensitive characteristics were chosen. We evaluated the landscape ecological sensitivity of the Erhai Lake Basin, China, using ArcGIS and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that the Erhai Lake Basin was mostly forest from 1990 to 2020 and that the dynamic land-use attitude increased and then reduced. The cultivated land became mostly woods and grassland. The largest building area was tied to reverting farms to woods and urban construction. The highest weight was from single-factor ecologically sensitive vegetation covering, followed by river systems and roadways, and lowest was from landslides and collapses. The ecologically sensitive areas with more vegetation and a greater distance from roads and woodland are harder to recover from harm. According to the thorough sensitivity analysis, the study region’s high sensitivity area is 1102.36 km2 (26.16%) and the higher sensitivity area is 1177.10 km2 (27.93%). The ecological sensitivity increases from neighborhoods to nature reserves. High-sensitivity areas were in hilly woods and grasslands with few people. The low-sensitivity area was around water and homes. The dynamic stability of the area ecological environment influenced ecological sensitivity. This study aims to provide sustainable land use solutions for the Erhai Lake Basin and a scientific basis for managing and protecting ecologically vulnerable areas.

“…Estimated share of Roma in the population (Brunn et al 2018) 1.3 Pathways maintaining CEE Roma health inequalities: hypotheses and findings Large-scale NGO surveys consistently show that CEE Roma are more exposed to circumstances that are known to be detrimental for health and to maintain social health inequalities (e.g. Diez Roux 2012; Krieger 2011; WHO 2010a; WHO 2013a) (health-endangering exposures; see also Figure 1.4).…”

Segregated Roma are also being oppressed through their self-exclusionary hopes and tastes. Chapter 3 of this thesis 2. Pushed and pulled towards the so-called margins, most segregated Roma become skilled at escaping the relative disadvantages of life standard in the so-called centers. Chapter 4 of this thesis 3. Many people who happen to serve segregated Roma feel that such position gradually forces them to choose between useless burnout and cynical neglect. Chapter 5 of this thesis 4. Trusting segregated Roma with more decision power and resources causes many of them to challenge the local structures that oppress them. Chapter 6 of this thesis 5. It would require a rather explicit selection process to make any risky genes concentrate in any Roma group-much more selective than Roma history could lead to. Chapter 7 of this thesis 6. Antigypsyism drives the poor health status of the Roma, mostly because most people involved, including segregated Roma, do not understand that it is so. Discussion of this thesis 7. We cannot claim to have formulated a convincing denial of the inequality of the human races, so long as we fail to consider the problem of the inequality-or diversity-of human cultures, which is in fact-however unjustifiably-closely associated with it in the public mind. Claude Levi-Strauss 8. We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing. Charles Bukowski 9. We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.

“…Some of the outskirts-mostly the small garden zones-were the illegal living area of poor people, and after the political transition, it was allowed to move into the small gardens legally [43]. The new residents moving to these parts of the cities represented a large variety of people regarding their age structure, social status, family situation, or even ethnicity [5,[43][44][45][46]. Some of the residents must have moved out of the city because of financial constraints or exclusion and some of them were motivated by traditional agricultural purpose.…”

The rapid and significant expansion of urban areas is observed worldwide; however, considerable differences are detected within the characteristics of the process. The rural–urban fringe is changing most dynamically from the aspect of land use and this tends to be relevant in the case of post-socialist cities in Central Europe even with a stagnating or decreasing population. Debrecen (Hungary) and its hinterland adequately represent the migration trends of Hungarian cities and the great administrative area provided wide intra-urban suburbanization processes. The current study put the emphasis on the analysis of the spatial pattern of built-up areas and the distribution of residents. In order to discover the processes of the post-socialist transition period, detailed point layers were created to illustrate every built-up parcel in the rural–urban fringe of Debrecen (for the years 1980, 2000, and 2020). The most important characteristics were discovered with the help of GIS methods—Kernel-density, grid pattern analysis of the object density, and analysis of land cover/land use changes using Corine Land Cover Change (CLCC) databases. The dynamic and extended expansion of built-up areas was seen until 2000, in which the outskirts (including hobby gardens) densified spectacularly. The urban sprawl has been less intensive since the millennium and the increase in built-up areas has become more concentrated. As a consequence of the transition period, extended territories—primarily the least dense parts of the rural–urban fringe—are faced with the disappearance of buildings due to agricultural cultivation reasons.
