This paper examines and discusses issues concerning the smallholder teak forestry in taungya style in southern Laos. The Provincial department of Agriculture and Forestry of Champasack Province introduced teak forestry for two reasons; poverty reduction and reforestation. We have conducted surveys in a rural village which has typical features of population size and ethnic. Questionnaire survey and field survey with GPS were conducted to collect household-level information and to produce an accurate land-use map respectively.

Landscape amenities can be scarce in places with large areas of open space. Intensely farmed areas with high levels of monocropping and livestock production are akin to developed open space areas and do not provide many services in terms of landscape amenities. Open space in the form of farmland is plentiful, but parks and their services are in short supply. This issue is of particular importance for public policy because it is closely linked to the impact of externalities caused by agricultural activities and to the indirect effects of land use dynamics.

Agriculture has recently been noted as a provider of non-market environmental benefits in addition to its traditional recognition as a source of negative externalities from polluting inputs. In this paper, a general equilibrium framework is used to determine optimal land subsidies and input taxes in agriculture. When agriculture generates both amenities and pollution, the optimal subsidy does not equal the net extra-market value of agricultural land.

In a course of the research there were studied the current state, composition and structure of agricultural land in Mogilev region, their quantitative and qualitative characteristics, and the dynamics of these lands in the context of the main land users. The reasons for changing the area of agricultural land and made their forecast for the near future were established. According to the data provided, there was an increase in the area of agricultural land allocated to agricultural organizations and peasant (farmer) households for the past period from 2005 to 2016.

Addressing the problems of improving the land management of agricultural organizations, taking into account their ecologicalstatus in the process of intensification of agricultural production, should promote effective use, protection and management of land resources. The main task here is to establish their rational forms and sizes, create the most favorable territorial distribution of the means of production inextricably linked with the land, in order to ensure the sustainable development of farms on the basis of observanceof environmental norms and requirements.

The conference is aimed at dissemination of scientific research results, sharing of experience, improvement of foreign language and cross-cultural communication skills, and establishing of international contacts.

This technical note and its attachments are issued in response to the request made by the States at the last Watershed Planning Meetings held October 25-26 and December 19-20, 1966, for data related to urban flood damages. The following items are attached for use by the Economist: 3 1. A folder of generalized urban damage data for use in preparing preliminary investigation reports and watershed work plans, This supplements the urban damage data issued at the Northeast Watershed.

В статье рассматривается актуальный вопрос использования геоинформационных ресурсов как инструмента оптимизации регионального землепользования. В качестве примера рассматривается система электронных карт ГИС «Мордовия», центральным звеном которой является синтетическая ландшафтно-экологическая карта (ЛЭК). Подчеркивается роль автоматизированных методов анализа и моделирования пространственной информации в решении проблемы актуализации базы данных ГИС.

Starting from the year 2010, each year one European city is selected as the European Green Capital of the year. The award is granted to a city that has a consistent record of achieving high environmental standards, and is committed to ongoing and ambitious goals for further environmental improvement and sustainable development, as well as can act as a role model to inspire other cities and promote best practices to other European cities.
