Spatial Distribution of the Rural Development Programme in Relation to Population Retention between 2015 and 2019
The common agricultural policy accounts for more than 38% of the European Union’s budget. In the 2014–2020 cycle, 8.9 billion euros went in Hungary to the first pillar and 4.1 billion euros to the second pillar for rural development, the mobilization of which was coordinated by the Rural Development Programme. The second pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy plays an important role in catching up with the lagging and depopulated Hungarian countryside. It serves key objectives such as sustainable environmental management, strengthening and diversifying the rural economy, or a fair standard of living. In my dissertation, I explore the territorial distribution of the payments of the rural development programme between 2015 and 2019 and how it affects unemployment and incomes.

Zmiany morfologiczne w obrębie doliny Pilicy pomiędzy Sulejowem a Smardzewicami w latach 1968–2016
The article attempts to determine the geomorphological changes in the bottom of the Pilica valley between Sulejówand Smardzewice near Tomaszów Mazowiecki in the period from the late 1960s to 2016. The research was divided into threeparts. The first part included the most faithful reconstruction of the topography of the valley bottom, not only based on a con-tour drawing, but also on an additional geomorphological interpretation not described using classic cartographic methods.In the second stage of work, an attempt was made to recreate the relief of the valley floor, which was already the bottom ofan artificial water reservoir. For this purpose, measurements of the reservoir depth were made using sonar. The sonar data weresupplemented with the results of geomorphological interpretation and photointerpretation in places where direct measurementscould not be made. In the third stage of research, based on the morphometric situation from 1968 and 2016, an attempt wasmade to determine changes in the morphometry of the valley floor during the formation and functioning of the Sulejów Reser-voir.

Spatial Dimensions of Regional Innovativeness in Romania
This paper contains the analysis of regional innovation performance in the NUTS 2 regions of Romania, based on the European Innovation Scoreboard evaluation for 2011 and 2019, and the identification of the most significant influencing factors of county-level RD activity, for the 1997–2018 period. The Regional Innovation Index (RII) provides a profound characterization for Romanian regions regarding their innovation performance, which was studied using the GIS (Geographic Information System) methodology in relation with the regional RD activity, GDP per capita, and entrepreneurship innovation. In the following, the Romanian RD activity is analysed at the county level. The influencing factors of RD expenditures and employment in Romanian counties were studied based on two panel regression models and using exogenous variables, for economic development, entrepreneurship, education, and infrastructure.

Geomática y geografía al servicio de la conservación del Patrimonio Arquitectónico
In the last decades, the introduction of geomatic technologies in the processes of documentation of built environment has revolutionized the field of morphometric documentation. These procedures have undoubtedly helped tangible Cultural Heritage, which in today's society plays an increasingly central role in socio-economic development and the reaffirmation of a country's cultural identity. This research aims to illustrate a management method for Architectural Heritage (AH) using innovative technologies, which allow determining the influence of geographic-environmental conditions on the processes of material and structural degradation of buildings. The case study on which this method was tested is the Facultad de Arte Teatral (FAT) of the Universidad de las Artes in La Habana (Cuba).

Assets, Threats, and Opportunities in Developing and Sustaining the Management of Forest and Forestland Resources of Baler, Aurora, Philippines
The sustainability of forests and forestland resources is essential in ensuring the long-term well-being of ecosystems, biodiversity, and human society. This study analyzed available data from triangulated sources that produced information about extent and locations of the current assets, threats, and opportunities that were analyzed using various statistical methods, image and spatial analysis, and situational analysis in order to develop and sustain applicable management, conservation, and protection strategies for forest and forestland (FFL) resources of Baler, Aurora. Results revealed that there were significant changes of FFL assets from 2003 to 2018, and the recent data showed that closed forest was still the dominant cover of the area along with other assets like biodiversity, tourism, water resources, and others. The decreasing trend of the forest cover was the result of expansion of cultivated lands that follows the occurrence of several threats both from natural and anthropogenic sources. The most severe among the anthropogenic threats is timber poaching followed by charcoal making, pole timber collection, and firewood gathering. These threats were driven by the number of dependents, home-to-threat distance, conveyances used, and income earned per activity. Social geomatics of the identified threats shows that the human activities had extended almost to the farthest portions of each sub-watersheds that affects opportunities for development and sustainable utilization of resources. Assets, threats, and opportunities were considered as inputs used in situational analysis of sub-watersheds of which prior-itization of use was decided and FFL management strategies were developed and proposed to be sustained in order to produce optimum ecological, socio-cultural, and economical benefits in the future.

A bibliometric analysis on dependency theory
Dependency theory, established after World War II, is a popular theory among economists to portray the relationship between the underdeveloped and the developed countries that conditions the ability of the underdeveloped countries to develop. Several concepts have been merged into this area from different corners, making it interdisciplinary. As a lucrative area of interest in research, the study would like to assess how the concept of dependency theory has been widely accepted among authors from different corners and schools of thoughts and how their research outputs make a significant notation in this area. The research conducted a bibliometric analysis on dependency theory. 1074 Scopus indexed documents in English were considered. The study covered the two pillars of bibliography analysis: performance analysis and science mapping. The study used several formulas to calculate parameters of performance analysis and availed Vosviewer software to make maps of science-mapping analysis. The study concluded that dependency theory is a significant theory in economics and has significant implications in different research publications. This bibliometric analysis surfaces the significance of this theory which would attract researchers in incorporating more interdisciplinary research.

Deformation Analysis of a Composite Bridge during Proof Loading Using Point Cloud Processing
Remote sensing in structural diagnostics has recently been gaining attention. These techniques allow the creation of three-dimensional projections of the measured objects, and are relatively easy to use. One of the most popular branches of remote sensing is terrestrial laser scanning. Laser scanners are fast and efficient, gathering up to one million points per second. However, the weakness of terrestrial laser scanning is the troublesome processing of point clouds. Currently, many studies deal with the subject of point cloud processing in various areas, but it seems that there are not many clear procedures that we can use in practice, which indicates that point cloud processing is one of the biggest challenges of this issue. To tackle that challenge we propose a general framework for studying the structural deformations of bridges. We performed an advanced object shape analysis of a composite foot-bridge, which is subject to spatial deformations during the proof loading process. The added value of this work is the comprehensive procedure for bridge evaluation, and adaptation of the spheres translation method procedure for use in bridge engineering. The aforementioned method is accurate for the study of structural element deformation under monotonic load. The study also includes a comparative analysis between results from the spheres translation method, a total station, and a deflectometer. The results are characterized by a high degree of convergence and reveal the highly complex state of deformation more clearly than can be concluded from other measurement methods, proving that laser scanning is a good method for examining bridge structures with several competitive advantages over mainstream measurement methods.
