Spatiotemporal Analysis of Urban Green Areas Using Change Detection: A Case Study of Kharkiv, Ukraine

Cezar Morar et al.

Summary: This study aims to explore the importance of urban green areas (UGAs) in modern cities and their role in population recreation. By using urban remote sensing and GIS tools, the authors analyzed the spatiotemporal changes of UGAs in Kharkiv, Ukraine and found that the expansion of these green areas has been affected by urban development and the expansion of the city transport network.

GIS-Based Spatial Modeling of Snow Avalanches Using Analytic Hierarchy Process. A Case Study of the Sar Mountains, Serbia

Uros Durlevic et al.

Summary: This study predicts and models snow avalanches in the territory of the Sar Mountains in Serbia using GIS, remote sensing, and multicriteria analysis. The results show that approximately 20% of the area is highly susceptible to avalanches, while 24% has medium susceptibility. The obtained data can assist local authorities and emergency management services in mitigating human and material losses from snow avalanches.

Long Term Monitoring and Connection between Topography and Cloud Cover Distribution in Serbia

Aleksandar Valjarevic et al.

Summary: The use of weather satellite recordings has increased significantly in the past three decades, aiding in understanding the patterns between meteorological and topographical features, particularly regarding cloud analysis for potential cloud seeding. Research conducted in Serbia showed moderate changes in cloudiness, with high absolute cloudiness in regions with high elevation. Linear regression analysis confirmed the connection between high elevation areas and high absolute cloudiness throughout the year.

Investigations of the Surface of Heritage Objects and Green Bioremediation: Case Study of Artefacts from Maramures, Romania

Dorina Camelia Ilies et al.

Summary: This study tested the inhibitory effects of six essential oils on fungi identified on old textiles, demonstrating strong efficacy without observable side effects on the physical properties of the materials concerned. It suggests that essential oils and plant extracts could be a promising alternative to conventional antifungals for preserving heritage textiles and ensuring the health integrity of restorers and visitors.
