The climate changes represent an important problem in today-s society. Our study refers to the West Region of Romania, formed by the counties of Arad, Timis, Caras-Severin, Hunedoara, and it shows that there are significant differences regarding the climate changes between these counties. In our paper, we analyze the evolution of annual, respectively seasonal precipitations , and of the minimal, maximal and medium air temperatures in the considered region in the time frame 1991-2021. The statistical analysis of data shows an increase of the medium annual air temperatures, the observed changes being more pronounced in summer and winter. Beside the increase tendency of the air temperature in winter, one could observe also that the time of heat waves has become significantly longer in the West of Romania, such that the number of hot days is larger. An increase of the maximum length of the periods without precipitation has been observed over the last decades in the west during summer, as well as monthly anomalies of temperatures and precipitations. Annual estimates of the Climate Altering Land Cover Index are presented for the analyzed period and we observe that there is a positive correlation between these indices and the mean air temperature. In conditions of the climate changes, the mean summer precipitations will reduce in the coming decades, which will affect the management of water resources and the agriculture, which leads to the necessity of adjustment to the climate changes.

The main purpose of our research was to accumulate as much scientific data as possible, regarding the properties of the soil (physical, chemical and hydrophysical) of the various types of soil, necessary to establish strategies for adapting agricultural systems to the effects of climate change, through a complex approach of physical-geographical and climatic-edaphic conditions in the Western part of Romania, respectively, the Mure?-Gala?ca Plain. Its general objectives consist in the accumulation of scientific data, necessary for the foundation of certain technologies of culture, for the wide diversity of cultivated species and varieties intended to ensure the conservation of the edaphic cover and sustainable management of soil and water resources and adaptation of agricultural systems to the effects of climate change. The reference area includes an area of 113079 ha, from which 103531 ha agricultural lands that are part of the Aranca Plain and the Galatca Plain, as a component part of the Mures Plain. This is due to the locationat the interference between the low plain and the high plain, from the former Mures delta, presents varied geological and physical-geographical conditions, which conditioned the formation of an edaphic coverrepresented by several types of soil, such as: psamosols, alluviosols, chernosols, pelosols, vertosols, salsodisols. That area, during an agricultural year, it usually presents two extreme situations, respectively: excess humidity in the cold season and deficit humidity in the warm period of the year. Both situations generating a series of forms of water stress with negative effects on the productivity and quality of agroecosystems.

Disasters and extreme weather events currently have a growing tendency in the frequency of occurrence and also in the severity of the impacts. The main cause is climate change, the manifestations of which will become more and more extreme. The costs of dealing with natural disasters and the consequences of extreme weather events in terms of loss of life and damage to social, economic and environmental assets are expected to become increasingly high. The current situation therefore requires a prompt reaction and a change of attitudes towards the given issue, mainly from the point of view of the state, but also of the population itself. The article examines the attitudes of the population towards climate change and analyses (1) people-s perception of the need to implement adaptation measures and (2) barriers to adaptation to climate change. For the analysis are used the questionnaire survey results. Initial results indicate that the adaptation measures of the population are affected by various barriers, but in the long term, the respondents consider the need for adaptation to be important.

The purpose of this work is to determine and evaluate how the newly built areas, in the municipality of Iasi, in the period 2016-2021, are affected by the Urban Island. The Urban Heat Island (UHI) represents the phenomenon of higher atmospheric and surface temperatures occurring in urban area or metropolitan area than in the surrounding rural zones due to urbanization.The data acquisition stage involved extracting construction data from the unique integrated national system of cadastre and real estate advertising, extracting data on buildings and green spaces from orthophotoplans, obtaining data from public service providers regarding utility networks, performing GNSS determinationsand extraction of temperature data for the city of Iasi for the period studied, in order to establish the urban heat island. MODIS satellite images were used to establish the urban heat island. All of the previously mentioned data were inserted into a GIS application and various analyzes and queries were performed. During the studied period, the temperature inside the heat island was 24-C during the night, and 34-C during the day. It was observed that the urban heat island was formed around the intensively built area in the middle of the studied area. It was found that the newly built areas in the city of Iasi are located in the area of the Urban Heat Island, which mainly occupies the central area of the city. This phenomenon is much more evident during the night. Also, the green spaces in the newly built area are insufficient to mitigate the effects of the heat island. I also specify the fact that the municipality of Iasi still does not comply with the regulation regarding the existence of a minimum of 20 square meters of green space per inhabitant. Based on the study, it can be concluded that, in the future, the local administration will no longer have to allow the construction of buildings in the area affected by the urban heat island, because the temperatures during the period when UHI affects the environment are very high and difficult to bear.

Aim of the paper is to investigate the possibilities of applying the laser scanning method for overhead power transmission line monitoring in Latvia conditions. Today, in various sectors of the national economy, infrastructure monitoring takes an important place in the overall management of the system. It also plays an essential role in electric power, especially in maintaining overhead power transmission lines. Realizing the possibilities of digital development, the monitoring of power lines is more often performed by applying different remote sensing methods. The study examined and compared several remote sensing methods used for power line monitoring, however, the laser scanning method from an unmanned aerial vehicle was recognized as more optimal in Latvia conditions. Main conclusions are that for the application of remote sensing methods for overhead power line monitoring, it is initially necessary to find out the initial data about the power line. In the study included power line A-24 is mainly made up of I-type wooden supports. Also deforestation of the protective strip of the A-24 power line is required in several places, by removing the entire tree and/or bush, but in some cases, only the removal of a specific branch is sufficient.

Renewable Energy Communities (REC) are slowly becoming an important driver for promoting the energy transition in Europe. This paper addresses in particular the Italian current regulation on ECs, and analyses how they can implement the application of constitutional principles to the energy sector. In order to answer this question, at present, when we look into the different studies that have addressed the issue, it is pertinent to consider the fact that they have focused on constitutional values of landscape, environment, and health protection. The study examines the model of the energy community as a tool that on one hand, by pushing the local community towards participatory forms of democracy; horizontal , and inter and intra-generational solidarity and on the other hand, helps the local authorities to develop integrated urban planning actions in order to improve the quality of life of citizens. Therefore, it demonstrates how energy communities, especially renewable ones, are an important instrument of "constitutional humanism". They are not only environmental or climatic, but also specifically aimed at the development of the centrality of the Person.

Plastic in the environment poses significant problems for the present, as well as for future generations. The consequences and the exposure of living organisms to plastic pollution are not yet fully understand. The risks to health, environment and climate, due to the ubiquity and persistence of plastic are of great interest. The current study analyzes the perception of the Romanians regarding plastic pollution, in order to determine any pro-recycling behaviour of the local people and to recommend specific actions to reduce plastic pollution and the environmental risks associated with the studied region. The population is an important agent in waste management, in addition to local and central authorities, sanitation and recycling companies and/or public institutions. In order to achieve our goals, we developed a questionnaire that includes a series of questions related to people-s behaviour, knowledge, perceptions and feelings about waste management in relation to the environment, reducing single-use plastic and plastic hazards. The results demonstrated that 95.6% of the interviewees agreed that the use of plastic bags is harmful to the environment, 87.9% consider that plastic packaging of some products is sometimes unnecessary, 88.5% believe that recycling is the solution for removing plastic from the environment, and only 59.3% believe that the sanitation company is able to collect the waste selectively. The average of the answers related to the use of recyclable packaging shows that people are more and more concerned about the packaging of the purchased products, their recyclability, and the risks posed by plastic in the environment. Based on the people-s responses and willingness to get involved in reducing environmental plastic pollution, some measures adapted to the region have been recommended as useful for increasing the plastic recycling rate and reducing risks to the environment.

Among the support activities of any waste management actions, the optimal logistics processes are essential to assure time and cost-effective recycling scheme. Companies are recognizing that reverse logistics is a component of the total logistics management process that is growing in importance. Reverse logistics services are part of a trend toward incorporating environmental concerns into business philosophy and everyday business operation of manufacturing firms. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable companies to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency. The EMS provides the direction to reverse logistics and environmental activities. The author first discusses the general principles of reverse logistics in the manufacturing firms, which could clarify the importance of reverse logistics activities.

Companies are recognizing that reverse logistics is a component of the total logistics management process that is growing in importance. Reverse logistics services are part of a trend toward incorporating environmental concerns into business philosophy and everyday business operation of manufacturing firms. An Environmental Management System (EMS) is a set of processes and practices that enable companies to reduce its environmental impacts and increase its operating efficiency. The EMS provides the direction to reverse logistics and environmental activities. \u0000The author first discusses the general principles of reverse logistics in the manufacturing firms, which could clarify the importance of reverse logistics activities.

This study describes the typology of family agricultural systems from the western part of Romania. Fourteen family agricultural farms from Arad County, Romania, are taken in the study, whose areas range between 0.34 ha and 25 ha, with an average of about 22 ha. The main crops within these farms are grain maize, followed by wheat, oats, sunflower and rapeseed and, on smaller areas, fodder, vegetables and triticale. Because the structure of the crops is very diverse - the largest area is 12.60 ha and the smallest one is 0.07 ha , these agricultural holdings are not financially profitable because they do not allow farmers to practice intensive agriculture: soil works are performed with non-performing machines, a lot of time and fuel are lost with these works, and yield is low, which leads to decreased production and increased costs of establishment, maintenance and harvest. In conclusion, a solution for the efficiency of this agricultural system is an association of farmers and the merging of these lands, taking into account that family farming system is quite common on the territory of Romania.
