Urban renewal of the coastal area has regained importance in recent years The main problem with the citys coastal area is often the insufficient utilization of its potential The paper analyzes the process of urbanization and treatment of the waterfront through the three historical periods 1 traditional city 2 during Modernism and 3 contemporary urbanism Belgrade is chosen as a case study because it is located on the banks of the two rivers the Sava and the Danube and throughout history rivers had a significant role in the urban development of the city A polygon for the methodology of urban

Sustainability
Peer-reviewed publicationJanuary, 2020ItalyDiversification has been increasingly recognized as a rewarding farm strategy through which farmers produce on-farm non-agricultural goods and services. In doing so, farmers employ farm inputs (capital, labor, and land) in products other than agricultural goods, with the aim to sell them in the market and increase their income. While a significant body of literature has explored the drivers affecting the adoption of diversification activities, so far little attention has been given to the impact of such adoption on the technical and financial performance of farms.

Sustainability
Peer-reviewed publicationJanuary, 2015ItalyLand degradation has expanded in the Mediterranean region as a result of a variety of factors, including economic and population growth, land-use changes and climate variations. The level of land vulnerability to degradation and its growth over time are distributed heterogeneously over space, concentrating on landscapes exposed to high human pressure.

Sustainability
Peer-reviewed publicationJanuary, 2019ItalyLand degradation is a multifaceted phenomenon. In many mountainous and hilly areas that are marginal in terms of their economic and social sustainability, degradation is closely linked to population decline through ageing and outmigration, and to the abandonment of land, leading to a loss of community resilience. These processes acting together can produce positive feedback loops, with the consequential loss of socio-economic resilience at larger spatial scales that can ultimately lead to the disintegration of entire territories.

Peer-reviewed publicationJanuary, 2023ItalySustainable forest land management requires measuring and monitoring soil organic carbon. Visible and near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (Vis-NIR, 350–2500 nm), although it has become an important method for predicting soil organic carbon (SOC), requires further studies and methods of analysis to realize its full potential. This study aimed to determine if the size of the study area and soil sampling density may affect the performance of Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the prediction of soil organic carbon.
