The accessibility of a natural protected area should be seen as a possibility for people with special needs to access to a structure or open space in order to fully enjoy their services and activities. The European Union has issued numerous documents on the accessibility and a resolution on equal opportunities for disabled people in all fields, including leisure time. Also, in Italy there are very detailed regulations on accessibility and social inclusion, both at the state level and at the region level of the individual. Following these rules, several Italian national parks have adopted guidelines to make their areas accessible and provide physically challenged people with all the services. The aim of this paper is to examine legislation and best practices adopted to make accessible the Italian national parks to people with disabilities.

Adequate soil sampling with the implementation of quality control guaranties high accuracy outputs of chemical analysis of the sampled soil. Mining and Metallurgy Institute Bor, as accredited scientific institution, sampling the soil from various locations according to the previously established sampling plan and to the standards ISO 18400-101 and 180400-104. The standards define the sampling scheme. Control of compulsory monitoring of sampling quality is done by ISO 18400-106 standard. Monitoring the quality control of the sampled soil, means formation of Trip blanks and Field blanks. Developed quality control plan monitors the status of the mentioned blanks, which considers the initial chemical composition of the zero blank, its way of packing and transport to the place where sampling occurs, preservation and storage as well as chemical analysis on specific elements. During 2019, Mining and Metallurgy Institute conducted quality control after every sampling on 6 locations. Comparative chemical analysis of the blanks after the sampling, started with zero blank, resulted in non-existence of cross contamination of the sampled soil. Conclusion is that the sampling was implemented according to the given procedures and standards.

: Geographic Information Systems allows visualization of spatial data (data with an associat ed GPS location) in the form of a map and analyzes the relationships and patterns between data layers. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) create friendly maps that are visually understood by both grow ers and researchers. By reporting different data collections in a geographic area, Geographic Information System, can help manufacturers better understand spatial models and relationships to make management decisions. Variability in a geographical area has economic consequences; Understanding this variability is the first step towards efficient vineyard management. From a digital altitude model - DEM (a grid that covers the known territory) we can deduce:- hypsomet ric map, to define the area for producing certain varieties of wine vertically; soil map, to define areas with soil type; CLC map showing the coverage of the land; relief units map, types of geomorphological units in the study area. The purpose of the article is to present the current situation of vineyards located in the Vrancea County.

The main aim of this paper is the definition of the distinctive features of museum networks and systems with a focus on the potential of specific organizational and management solutions in terms of optimization of museums’ effectiveness and efficiency, especially in Italy. Research regarding the Museum Pole of the Basilicata Region (MPBR) in Southern Italy will be presented. The MPBR is recognized as a successful and innovative form of large-scale (compatible with the limited size of the region) sharing of strategies, services, organizational structures, cultural planning, scientific contents, and technical and administrative tools, also following the nomination of Matera as ‘European Capital of Culture 2019’. The research is based on existing data and qualitative interviews with the MPBR management and other stakeholders.

: In the last 30 years, the food industry and especially the pastry industry has experienced a spectacular dynamic in the landscape of the Romanian economy. Few of the big companies in the communist period in the field of bakery managed to maintain and adapt to the new, most of them went bankrupt or divided into smaller departments. In the first years after the revolution, Romanian investors look to invest mainly in bakery units specialized in bread, sometimes in simple salt or sesame bagels, white or black bread rolls production. The pastry was not perceived as a profitable business, especially due to the lack of qualified personnel and the lack of ingredients. The communist leadership consid ered the pastry products to be luxury products, for which raw materials would have been needed, but these were mainly sent for export. In this paper we intend to show the recent evolution of the units in the bakery field, highlighting three major trends: restoring in the foreground the Romanian tradition from the interwar period with the reinterpretation of the classic recipes; taking over brands, concepts and products that have been successful in France, Italy and Germany and which are the emblem of a western lifestyle, with the rapid adoption in the confectionery and chocolate fields; adaptation to the in fluence of Hungarian and German gastronomic culture - especially in Transylvania. Last but not least, we will show that pastry is nowadays reluctant for customers, especially due to the use of sugar and margarine-type fats. The new trend is the introduction of butter in pastry following the French model, but this aspect involves high costs, these new products can only be purchased by certain social classes. In our opinion, genuine pastry will become a niche product.

: The Danube Delta is recognition as natural international capital in Romania. In 1991 it was designated as Ramsar site and World Natural Heritage Site for a surface of 50% of its area. Also, in 1992 it is recognized as a Biosphere Reserve. The Danube Delta is a large protected area at international level, but at national level certain areas of the Danube Delta are only natural reserves. The Danube Delta is recognized as a Natural Biosphere Reserve by Government Decision 248/1994. In 1994, a GEF (Global Environment Facility) project was set and Park Administration implements the management plan. The Danube Delta has so far been the only protected area with its own administration. At national level, will be provided support for the establishment and strengthening of the necessary institutional framework, for the adoption of the laws on protected areas and strengthening legislative framework. Also, for preparation human resource which is a public participation component of popularization the idea of nature conservation and protected areas. The purpose of this article consisted of choosing Danube Delta area where the possible floods occur due to different weather phenomenon. To do this using ArcMap 10.5 programs were conducted a simulation map of flooding in the area under study.

: It is very important for these companies to choose an adequate asset resource structure in order to eliminate risks in their business. It includes, for example, the risks associated with reduced solvency due to high indebtedness, thus the high value of external assets and low liquidity of assets. On the other hand, the high level of own resources of assets is not an unambiguously positive indicator, as own resources of assets are objectively one of the most expensive. Establishing an adequate level of own resources of assets in company is a key role of management in its optimal business setup towards long-term positive business results. The aim of the paper is to assess the adequacy of the amount of own resources of food business in 2018 in Slovakia on the basis of financial analysis indicators.

Globalization is the reason for significant changes in all spheres of life. Its effects on the world economy have been observed for a long time. The impact of globalization is an important economic matter and its research is as important. The aim of this research is to track the trends in the development of the digital economy in Bulgaria and the corresponding occurring change which follow it. Bulgaria established itself as one of the key centers for innovative development in 2018 and one of the reasons for that is precisely the globalization in the sphere of economy and information and communications technologies. The country’s digital economy forestalls the trends and grows 2.5 times faster than the economies of the big five on the European Union’s market. The transformation of the Bulgarian economy would increase its competitiveness and would place it at a leading position in the region. Due to these and many other reasons it is important for these matters to be analyzed from a scientific point of view. This paper contributes for the clearer formulation and understanding of the matters related to globalization as a whole, but also for tracking its impact on the state of digital companies in Bulgaria. Similar research can be applied and further developed for each and every European country and more.
