Abstract: The tundra biome is considered as sensitive to the climate change. Observed climate changes contributes to the significant transformation of landscape functioning. The aim of the study was to analyze selected climate condition and their impact on vegetation and soil cover in the tundra biome of the northern hemisphere. The increase in annual temperature and humidity contributes to the colonization of new areas by tundra vegetation and an increase in the thickness of active layer in the soil.

Key words: tundra biome, global zoning, functioning, transformations, landscape

Abstract: This article aims to explore the concept of contemporary luxury tourism and try to associate it with the Iranian context. More specifically, feasibility and potential study of luxury tourism in Iran in terms of rarity and uniquely by considering the cultural factors. This paper investigates, the concept of luxury has changed over time. In addition, will stress on the importance of recognizing the potential of luxury travel and its diversity in Iran and bringing these topical international issues to a wide audience.
The luxury travel market raised new demands for emerging destinations like Middle Eastern and South Asian countries. Furthermore, in recent years a large number of new destinations like Iran have emerged around the world and have started to compete and generate income in the international tourism market. According to analysis data in this paper, Iran like most countries in the Middle East has a natural competitive advantage in global luxury tourism. Thanks to the current conservative policy all its aesthetic aspects have been under protection for decades. However, the potential of this competitive advantage has not been reached.
The research design in this paper consists of three stages to ensure rigorous scale development. The strategies, processes, techniques utilized in the collection of data or evidence for analysis in order to uncover new information or create a better understanding of this topic is driven from materials in the field of luxury and luxury travel during the last decades. In order to reduce this limitation, the researcher tried to have a generalization review. Data for this study were obtained during the COVID-19 crisis.

Abstract: Climate change has been severely affected the lives of people in coastal areas of Vietnam, particularly in the poor communes in the Central region, namely Quang Binh, Quang Tri, and Thua Thien Hue. This report focuses on analyzing and assessing the vulnerability caused by climate change in the extremely poor communes in Quang Binh, Quang Tri, and Thua Thien Hue province, including five levels: Very low, low, medium, high, very high. Through the IPCC vulnerability assessment method, which includes three components: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, the results in the study area showed that the medium level accounted for 19.64%, the high level accounted for 30.48%, and the very high level made up 37.35% of the area.

Key words: vulnerability, climate change, coastal, Vietnam

Abstract: Child marriage is one of the more frequent social problems in developing countries, especially in Indonesia; the government is hardly concerned about this and relates it to population control. This has the potential to escalate into a serious problem that will symmetrically affect the economy if the number of child marriages continues to increase. This study aimed to apply a profile analysis approach to measure the significant difference and to understand the characteristics of child marriages in each Indonesian province. The country is divided into four regions based on the main development area over 4 years from 2016 to 2019. The findings from the parallel hypothetical test suggest that the child marriage profile from each region is not parallel, and each region has its unique characteristics. Therefore, appropriate policies should be introduced separately for each region, such as enhanced education quality, social assistance and protection programs for children, social participation models, and collaborative governance-based city/village programs. The most important conclusions: policy advocacy to reduce the practice of child marriage for governments everywhere, including Indonesia is carried out through good planning and implementation of child marriage prevention policies will increase children’s productivity for their future lives.

Abstract: Microbreweries and beer tourism are a good example of the „neolocalism” turn in the globalized world. As a reaction to the unified beer offer of the large transnational brewery groups, there is a clear increase of the consumers’ demand for the bigger diversity of the beer offer. Seeking for the new beer styles in unique places – the beer tourism – is targeted not just to the microbreweries, but also to multitap restaurants with the large beer offer and to the beer festivals. The goal of this paper is to map the growing popularity of these beer tourism destinations in the Czech Republic and Poland and also among the big cities and smaller municipalities, and to compare the openness to the foreign beer brands and styles among the consumers in both countries.

Key words: beer tourism, microbreweries, multitaps, beer festivals, Czech Republic, Poland

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify influence of selected factors on the repeat purchase of a package tour based on the responses of the selected customers in the Moravian-Silesian Region. The main factors are divided into three main groups as staff, environment and offer and each of these groups consists of other selected factors. Analyses of frequency responses and frequency distribution of data were used. Statistical hypotheses were formed, reflecting the relationship between the difference in responses from the customers’ and selected quality factors, that may affect the repeated purchase of the package tour. Most customers of repeat purchase of the package tour are affected by professional behaviour, sufficient space, cleanliness, tidiness of company premises and corresponding ratio of price / quality. This study is important not only for the marketers’ but also for all employees in services. Knowledge of the consumer buying behaviour leads to huge long term benefits to the businesses in various regions not only in Europe.

Abstract: Topographic databases and general geographic maps are essential components of geographic information systems and the primary and rich spatial information source at general scales. The article presents qualitative and quantitative analyses based on the content of general geographic maps and topographic databases carried out on the example of products of selected national mapping agencies (NMAs). This research aims to verify whether the data contained in the analyzed databases and the information presented on general maps constitute the rich source of geographical and spatial information, as well as to examine how the analyzed General Geographic Objects Database (BDOO) developed in Poland differs from the selected databases of similar level of details. The results of qualitative and quantitative analyses are presented in comprehensive charts and tables, which show the obtained results in a synthetic and complex manner.

Key words: topographic databases, general geographic maps, General Geographic Objects Database, national mapping agencies, quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis
