AbstractCross‐border cooperations have been usually approached by developing trade agreements between international regions to upgrade their socioeconomic conditions and promote international tourism flows in territories. However, little attention has been paid to the role that tourist companies play in underprivileged territories highly dependent on tourism. Through the theory of social exchange, theoretical implications can be drawn from those territories and compared with developed regions to understand what role tourism flow plays in the reciprocal attitude between tourist companies and visitors. Political implications force tourist authorities to involve companies in promoting their regional tourism resources through participatory tourism programmes. For this, the opinion of companies is strongly related to the tourism generated by the Parque Natural Tajo Internacional on both sides of the border between Spain and Portugal, who have participated in the research to develop tourism on both sides of the border. To collect the data, 126 interviews were carried out with companies among the 53 Spanish and Portuguese companies that participated in the research between January and June 2022. For data tabulation, version 3.26 of SmartPLS was used. The study concludes that social exchange policies that bring companies and residents closer together favour socioeconomic development in territories that have natural resources and are economically disadvantaged.

Jewell Parker Rhodes's Bayou Magic (2015), written in the wake of the 2010 BP oil spill, deliberates the special problem of talking to children about oil. How does one tackle the subject of oil when addressing young people? How are children enabled to participate in discourses on petroleum? The novel also reveals a dilemma: the resource that we associate with comfort and progress actually contaminates, wounds, and lays waste to natural and human ecosystems. Caught in the mucky conundrum of oil, Bayou Magic reveals the challenges of talking to children about oil and oil catastrophes. In striving to meet the expectation that children's fiction should offer a hopeful, if not happy, ending, Bayou Magic resorts to a resolution that "contains" the oil spill but sidesteps the problem of our persisting dependence on oil. But the novel's allusion to the African deity Mami Wata is significant, as the figure connects the oppression of Black peoples to the exploitation of natural resources. As such, the novel uses fantastical elements not to imply that only something magical or divine can save us from disaster; rather, it signals that projects of environmental justice require openness to and embrace of radically imaginative solutions.

Artist's Statement: My work is often autobiographical and inspired by nature's ability to reclaim and erode. I find beauty in the imperfections of salvaged materials and enjoy breathing new life into discarded objects. Through the dichotomies of order and chaos, light and shadow, ephemeral and enduring, I explore my past experiences and hopes for the future. My work in metals explores the ephemeral nature of life and natural resources. My piece, Precious Commodity, speaks to the weight of parenthood and the impact our current rate of resource consumption will have on the future my children inherit. My sculpture, Novel Hypocrisy, was inspired by a bamboo forest on the path behind my home. It is an invasive species that doesn't belong here, and I can relate to that. After serving in the Air Force for eight years and following my husband while he completed his military career, I found myself planted in many places where I felt displaced and a few where I questioned if I was a part of something invasive. I hope my works inspire a moment of reflection and introspection as the viewer considers their impact on the natural world around them.

The Lambu, Sape, Komodo and Sangiang (LASAKOSA) area is an area that has tourism potential such as the natural and cultural potential of the Bima community, which encourages the acceleration of creative economic development in order to reduce poverty, expand employment opportunities, grow MSMEs and form a community that cares about tourism. . This study aims to determine: (1) the potential for tourism and the creative economy, (2) the creative economy development model in accelerating tourism development in the LASAKOSA area. Data sources: (1). Informants who master the problems studied. and (2). Research-appropriate documents. Data analysis techniques are descriptive qualitative and SWOT. The results showed that: first; based on a SWOT analysis creative economy development in the tourism development of the LASAKOSA area has strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. And second; the model formulated is the creative economy "UMA" development model in accelerating tourism development in the Lasakosa area. In this model there are two main foundations, namely first, the potential of Natural Resources and Tourist Attractions and secondly the potential of Human Resources. and supported by the government's role in regional development, there are supporting pillars of the creative economy "UMA" development model, namely: the tourism industry, local institutions, technology, scholar groups, and financial institutions

At the beginning of the 18th century, begins to take shape, on the left bank of the Mures River, what today is considered by dedicated specialists "a national monument in the art of parks" and at the same time the oldest and most valuable collection of exotic woody plants and autochthonous from Romania, the wonderful Arboretum from Simeria. The geographical position favors the development of tourism, through the diversity of the landscape (dendrological park, hills, Mureș valley, Strei valley), the natural resources are large, possibility of hiking, the capacity of the territory to support several types of tourism; ecotourism can be developed and promoting the local arboretum brand would include the city of Simeria and the area in the tourist circuits. The aristocratic gardens from Banpotoc (located near Simeria) represent the work (over 15 years) of an italian in love with Romania. Giovanni Savatelli created "I Giardini di Zoe" with love for his granddaughter, Zoe, for our country but also from passion for gardening. In order to promote tourism in Simeria area, we must take into account both the natural and anthropogenic potential, besides it is necessary to preserve the traditions and popular habits of the area and develop these resources.

As an important area in terms of biodiversity and fish stocks in Vietnam, Cu Lao Cham or Cham Islands (CLC) marine protected area (MPA) is under increasing threat from human activities. Conservation efforts have recently been implemented but economic analysis of the CLC MPA's natural values did not investigate what may affect policy decisions on CLC MPA's sustainable development. Using a structured questionnaire and a payment card technique (based on the contingent valuation method), we estimate visitors' willingness to pay (WTP) for conservation of marine resources in the CLC MPA. The log-normal regression results indicate that the visitors' WTP for conservation is affected by their characteristics, perceptions of environmental protection and conservation, and their assessment of the current CLC MPA entrance fee. Visitors are WTP an additional amount of US$2.26 per person for conservation while visiting the CLC MPA. This indicates that with the introduction of the proposed entrance fee (the mean WTP added to the current entrance fee), the CLC MPA management would not only have sufficient funds for their management and conservation programmes, but also that the number of visitors may decline slightly, which would reduce some of the pressure on the environment, natural resources, and coral reefs.

Global warming and climate change resulting in the melting of sea ice within the Arctic have subsequently opened the possibility to explore and exploit the region. Previously seen as simply a region full of ice, the Arctic is believed to possess abundant natural resources, with an estimated 13% of undiscovered oil, 30% of natural gas resources in the world, as well as the opening of a new sea route which will be able to serve as a shortcut for countries to exchange goods - attracting states to pay closer attention to the region, be it militarily, politically, or economically, the United States being one of them. The increase in presence and power among Arctic and non-Arctic countries, especially Russia and China, has inarguably created a state of security dilemma among all parties involved, which is why if the US would like to seek a larger presence within the region, it becomes important for the country to involve NATO as one of its key partners, despite issues concerning the country and the organization. For the purpose of this paper, the aforementioned argument will further be supported using concepts of security dilemma, hegemonic stability theory, and the balance of threat.

The article offers to discuss the topical issues of areas and opportunities for development of the Far East of Russia in multipolar world. Today, multipolarity is a characteristic feature of globalization. The author considers the integration with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region as an opportunity to mitigate the negative demographic processes which are manifested in ongoing out-migration. Moreover, the migration outflow is five sixth. The Russian government proclaimed 'a turn to the East" in its foreign policy. The article aims at identifying new, not based on natural resources use, factors of the Far East's integration into the Asia-Pacific region. The study shows that a relatively small population, poor transport infrastructure and lack of requirements made by a large part of population for the quality of goods and services, as well as the devaluation of the national currency, would not be the factors contributing to a great demand for the goods from the Asia-Pacific countries. It is therefore necessary to search for the integration capacity of the Russian Far East elsewhere. By summarizing scientific evidence, the author highlights that they could be natural recreational resources and participation in resolving global, including environmental, challenges. © 2018 The Authors.

UK: Досліджено зміст національних особливостей прояву кризових ситуацій в умовах глобалізації з позиції державного впливу. Доведено, що економічна криза в Україні обумовлена сукупністю об'єктивних і суб'єктивних, ендогенних і екзогенних факторів. Причини кризи пов'язані з порушенням відтворювального процесу, основних макроекономічних пропорцій. EN: Research economic content, national peculiarities of manifestation of crisis in globalization thesis helped to conclude that the cyclical fluctuations of the world economy today is a combination of many interrelated causes: overproduction of fictitious capital, loss of regulatory influence of the state on the rapidly growing markets of futures and options, as well as other derivatives; Use the last decade very low interest rates; population growth in developing countries, changing the demographic structure of the population and a new global qualitative characteristics of human resources; natural disasters and man-made disasters; deterioration in the quality and reduce the amount of natural resources used by the public. Causes of the crisis related to violation of the reproduction process, the main macroeconomic proportions that not only exacerbated the basic contradiction between the imperfect social system transient economic relations and level of development of productive forces, but also deepened the conflict of interest, businesses, and non-compliance processes and production consumer products.

The urbanization is a phenomenon that took proportions lately, due to the economical development, of transports, of the socio-cultural interests, to the increase of the education level, etc. Due to the means of information, communication, and transport and to the concentration of the touristic historical-cultural objectives in the big cities, these ones have become important points of attraction for the touristic activity. In the last decade, due to the economic restructuring and to the increase of the role of the services sector, tourism has begun to have an important contribution in the economy of the country including the city of Brasov. In Romania, the city of Brasov represents one of the most important touristic centres of the country due to the numerous historical and cultural objectives within it but also the special natural resources. Although tourism has become one of the main factors concerning the economical development, we cannot ignore the negative aspects that result as a consequence of the touristic activity that is why it is necessary that this one should take place in the conditions in which the actual generation to beneficiate and use the current natural and anthropic resources so that the next generations can take advantage of as well.

Land management is the process by which the resources of land are put into good effect. Land management encompasses all activities associated with the management of land that are required to achieve sustainable development. The concept of land includes properties and natural resources and thereby encompasses the total natural and built environment. Land Administration Systems (LAS) are institutional frameworks complicated by the tasks they must perform, by national cultural, political and judicial settings, and by technology. This paper facilitates an overall understanding of the land management paradigm. The model reflects drivers of globalisation and technology development which support establishment of multifunctional information systems incorporating diverse land rights, land use regulations and other useful data. A third major driver, sustainable development, stimulates demands for comprehensive information about environmental conditions in combination with other land related data. It is argued that development of such a model is important or even necessary for facilitating a holistic approach to the management of land as the key asset of any nation or jurisdiction. Finally, the paper points at some educational, professional and institutional challenges to be faced by the land administration community in the third millennium. And the paper identifies the role of FIG in this regard.
