The geographical distribution of cancer in a space brings a consistent plus of knowledge in understanding the environmental determinants of the appearance and development of carcinogenic tumors. This article presents the main trends in the dynamics of oncology prevalence and mortality in Romania. Limited access to relevant data has made the spatial dimension of cancer lacking in specific public policies. With Romania's accession to the European Union, the institutions responsible for these data were obliged to centralize all these data in a database verified and updated by specialized persons. The final database includes both oncology prevalence and mortality, reported for the period 2008-2017, before that date, medical records are irrelevant due to the wrong way of registering, differently, from one institution to another. The resulting database is reported to the territorial administrative units of Romania, analyzed statistically and modeled using GIS techniques. The results show that there are obvious disparities in the distribution of cancer in Romania, with large concentrations in cities and old industrial areas.

The phenomenon of spatial expansion and sprawling of cities in one particular territory is a condition that has greatly influenced the contemporary city and society, from the physical/spatial aspect, social, as well as the aspect of urban development. The topic of this study is the genesis and the matrix of the spatial development of Kumanovo and determining the cause-effect factors and results. The main thesis of the study suggests necessity for introducing a program-spatial matrix/paradigm in the development, so as to regulate the spatial expansion of the urban web. The program-spatial matrix is associated with the segment of planning, or the introduction of the normative structure. The work methodology is based on comparative analysis of the changes from a spatialphysical and a planning point of view. Due to the specifications of the region concerned, this study, in methodological sense, starts with providing documentary grounds, based on methods of collecting, documenting and analyzing the information found. The conclusion of this study encourages the need for introducing a normative structure in the spatial development planning of cities in order to improve the spatial quality, the economic dynamics and the social cohesion. The results of the study analyses ought to provide a clearer representation of the relations between the urban planning (spatial and general) and the space as well as the consequences of their implementation, or non-implementation.

Spa tourism has become a major sector of the international tourism market, which generates an increase in functional complexity at the level of local systems. Through an effective management policy and an appropriate marketing policy, this type of tourism can bring significant economic benefits with a positive impact on the territorial systems that have spa resources. Through the present study, we have proposed a diagnosis of the territorial systems that have important spa resources, at the level of the Romanian regions, based on statistical data offered by the National Institute of Statistics, National House of Public Pensions, as well as on economic data at territorial administrative unit level, with the main economic indicators. The methodology is based on the analysis of the two categories of statistical data on tourism, more specifically, those aimed on the evolution of available accommodation capacity, those targeting tourist flows (arrivals and overnight stays), data on the evolution of treatment tickets and data with the main economic indicators from the tourism sector. The obtained results show significant differences between spa resorts in Romania, differences determined by the level of investments made for both basic and tourist infrastructure.

Although the North Macedonia occupies a relatively small area of 25 713 km, it possesses a large number of geological, geomorphological and hydrological relief forms, which due to its diversity and uniqueness are prominent as important the geoheritage sites. A large percentage of geoheritage sites are exposed to destruction or complete disappearance, and as the main factor for this are the various natural processes and human activities. This paper analyzes the several examples in danger and no longer exist geoheritage sites on the territory of North Macedonia, the level of threat and their protection. In order to stop the further degradation of the remaining geoheritage sites it is necessary to take appropriate measures of protection and adequate management of the geoheritage by the state and local governments. To ensure long-term survival of geoheritage sites as paramount priority is to perform adequate protection regulated by law.

The fact that Macedonia has unique and well-preserved natural resources, large number of traditional rural households and much supplementary potential, imposes great future challenges towards rural tourism development. Moreover, due to ever-growing interest of international market in rural lifestyle, rural tourism sounds like inevitable alternative for economic development. The paper uses a qualitative approach to illustrate the ambient for development of tourism in rural areas in Macedonia. In this respect, the research outlines the current possibilities seriously to consider rural areas to be added to the current tourism supply in Macedonia, by highlighting the barriers of rural tourism from a perspective of a problem or a challenge. The paper points out that Macedonia needs to undertake serious measures and activities on central and local level for incorporating many rural areas in enriching tourism supply and boosting modest tourism development.

The main objective of EU regional policy is to reduce disparities in terms of employment and income of the population, level of infrastructure development, economic development, etc. In 1957, when the six founding countries signed the Treaty of Rome, their aim was "to strengthen the unity of their economies and ensure their harmonious development by reducing the disparities existing between the various regions and the backwardness of the less favored regions." In practice, this is an economic development policy focused on problem areas. In practice, this is a policy based on solidarity. Solidarity is mentioned in the preamble to the Treaty on European Union, which states that community action is geared to economic and social cohesion, and especially to reducing disparities between the levels of development of individual regions. Economic and social cohesion is supported through regional, social and structural measures. The integrated approach dates from the time of the emergence of European cohesion policy. The Territorial Integrated Approach also highlights the need to work with a more flexible sense of geography. Geography continues to matter. The regional policy of the Republic of Bulgaria arises with the intention of defending the European model of social structure, in which the elements of free competition and social market economy are accompanied by goals related to the solidarity and promotion of specific priorities for economic, social and territorial development.

Today, creative economies are the determinants of economic growth. Creative economies play an important role in promoting innovation across the economy, both through their products and services, as well as through new ideas, knowledge, processes and ways of working. Terms of innovation and creativity are increasingly used in many national development strategies. The concept of creative economy was derived from the concept of innovation. The study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of creative economies at national level. In order to quantify the spatial dynamics of the creative economies in Romania, was created a database, at the level of administrative-territorial unit, with 2 economic indicators the number of employees and the turnover, according to the NACE classification (Classification of National Economy Activities), on the basis of which have been made distribution maps of creative economies. This study focuses on the period from 2000 to 2016. The database was also used to achieve evolution graphs of above mentioned indicators, at the four-digit NACE code. This study has produced spatial patterns of creative economies that have highlighted the fact that spatial agglomerations of creative activities are located around the great urban concentration.

The education system in Albania, after 1990, has undergone some reforms both in the pre-university and university systems, reforms that were necessary due to the important socio-economic and cultural changes during the transition from the dictatorship to the democratic system. These reforms have affected and changed the role and position of Geography subject in the pre-University as well in the University curricula. These changes have been evident in the changing of numbers of weekly hours, content, perspectives of future development and in some specific topics. This paper aims to analyze the quantity and quality of these changes and to identify their direct impact in the geographic knowledge of the new generation of pupils and students of geography. Frequent changes have also occurred in the recruitment scheme of students at the university, bringing uncertainty and fluctuation of different levels from one year to the next. The involvement and implementation of Bologna system in the Albanian Universities brought many changes in the education curricula, teaching methodology, collaboration with foreign universities, diplomas, etc. From this point of view, considering the main issues faced by our University education system such as: the large number of students in the auditorium; the lack of laboratories; modern libraries; etc., it is important to analyze the importance and the role of the University in the professional formation of new teachers of Geography.

Each historical province of Romania has a significant number of monuments, the cultural value of which can be used to create opportunities for tourism development of some geographical areas or localities. The study seeks to identify these monuments, capable of meeting the requirements imposed by the cultural-tourist activity through: accessibility, originality, seniority, maintenance or level of rehabilitation and promotion. The geographically analyzed area is the historical and geographical province of Transylvania, Romania. It is a province with a great historical load, and the presence of monuments has a rather high density. The steps taken to carry out this study followed, first of all, the crossing of the List of Cultural Monuments issued by the Ministry of Culture of Romania. The second stage is the individual analysis on the field of each monument mentioned in the list, as well as the identification of the appropriate level of cultural and tourist valorization, according to the mentioned criteria. The results of the study show, first of all, a difference between the large number of existing cultural monuments and the value of which is undoubtedly quite high by what they represent historically, and the smaller number of monuments that can be valorized from the cultural and tourism point of view. The requirements of the tourists and, generally, of the tourist activity, do not allow the entry and usage of the monuments that have very low levels of accessibility, originality or rehabilitation within touristic circuits or tourist offerings.
