According to the Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise, a road traffic noise evaluation should end with an estimation of the exposed population. Based on this, further actions can be implemented in order to diminish the effect the environmental noise has on people within urban areas. The road traffic generated noise is one of the four main noise sources that are currently being under study; the others being the rail network, aviation and industrial areas. The current paper estimates the population exposure to the road traffic noise in an area comprising 9.87% of the total population of Vaslui town, North-Eastern Romania. The methodology followed in the first place a pattern for the noise levels generation. In order to accomplish this, a spatial database was created including the buildings and the road network of the study area. These features were assigned specific attributes being mandatory for the current study, like population size per building, building types, traffic volume etc. The noise simulation was then performed by the opeNoise plugin of QGIS Brighton 2.6.1. The result was a grid of points with different noise levels for two noise indexes: Lday-evening-night and Lnight. After the grid interpolation, the noise layers were used to calculate the impacted population size, implementing a method arisen from the European Commission recommendations.

The aim of the study was identify the riverbed changes of the Krasna river in its whole length during last centuries based on archival cartographic materials. Additionally in the estuary section, about 2 km long, which was noticed the largest riverbed changes visible on the maps, verified cartographic changes are done geomorphological and geological mapping of the Quaternary sediments. Krasna river is located in the northern part of the Świętokrzyskie voivodship in the Polish Uplands area. It is left tributary of the Czarna Konecka, with a 28 km length. The basin area have about 121 km. It was located in the Old Polish Industrial District. Krasna river was one of the most industrialized rivers of Old Polish Industrial District in 19 c,. the waters of the lower section of Krasna river were driven the forges and water mills. The activity of the forges and water mills contributed to changes in the course of the Krasna riverbed, visible on cartographic materials as well as in sediments. In the early 30th year in 20 c., old forges were transformed into water mills. In later years, the mill buildings were transformed into sawmills existing until the middle of the 20 c. On the flood plain, remnants of the iron metallurgy have survived in such forms as shafts and channels as well as in sediments as slags or bricks. With the fall of industrial activity, the renaturalization processes was started in the Krasna river valley and the riverbed itself. This led to the restoration of a natural environment before human changes impact and river come back to its natural course.

Land use and land cover integrate various aspects of natural and socio-economic features of the environment. Land use and cover change reflect the interaction among the environmental features and processes and human activities. After the collapse of the socialism regime in 1989, Romania has undergone significant changes at the level of socio-economic and institutional profile, which determined land use scientists to consider our country to be an experimental territory for land use research. Considering land use and cover plots as pieces of landscape configuration, landscape metrics can provide valuable information about structural changes occurred in land use and cover spatial pattern. Using the Suceava River Basin from Romania as a case study, a hybrid geographical approach applying landscape metrics and GIS techniques was applied to analyse the spatial and temporal dynamics of land use and cover pattern changes between 1990 and 2012. In order to assess the land use and cover changes, we used a series of relevant landscape metrics at class and landscape level in order to quantify the landscape composition and its spatial configuration. The analysis was carried out using CORINE Land Cover datasets from 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012 by means of geographic information systems to present the spatial distribution of the data, while FRAGSTATS software was employed to process landscape metrics in order to generate statistics about landscape structure. The results highlight an increase in the number of patches and edge density, while the mean patch size decreased during the span of 22 years. Consequently, the landscape structure of Suceava River Basin became more fragmented and heterogeneous. We hope that the present approach will underline the importance of using landscape metrics in monitoring land use and cover changes over time by decision makers as a powerful basis of sustainable land use planning at the entire basin level.

The “Starite kolibi” deposit is located near to Muldava village and Asenovgrad town. The district is presented by the marbles of the Dobrostan Marble Branch. The region belongs to the Central Rhodope block and northwest edge of the East Rhodope Paleogene decline. They are massive marbles without sloping surfaces, with irregular cracks with different directions and slopes. They form a marble arc-shaped strip with a maximum length of 1050m and a maximum width of 330m. The thickness of the marbles is 39,4m. The top layer is made of a clay-sandy layer with small marble pieces and soil and average thickness of 0,4m. The origin of the marbles from the “Starite kolibi” deposit refers to the group of metamorphic deposits. The marbles in the whole career are visually all the same and massive with no cracks and stratifications. The main colors are gray-white and white. From the petrography point of view, they are fine crystalline and semi-crystalline marbles and the crystalline crystals are partially recrystallized. Calcite is the major rock-forming mineral (97-98%) of the marbles in the deposit.

Rapid and largescale changes have occurred in the rural landscapes of Bukovina as a result of the agricultural modifications that have been made in time. Due to the constant and intense agricultural work the transformation carried out by various ethnic farmers, added new layers to the cultural landscapes and have become an important part of the social construction. Some of the old traditional components of the settlement systems are well preserved, but most have disappeared, the material artefacts or the immaterial testimonies made by the Romanians, the Germans, the Jews, the Polish, the Ukrainians and the Rroma along with other migrants managed to build a complex of new cultural landscapes over the time with unique features. The notion of rural cultural landscape has developed in accordance with the historical heritage and in connection with the local environmental conditions. Analyzing various factors and some local social and historical aspects it can be taken into account as the existence of unique cultural elements and at the same time as the threat of cultural landscape possible degradation.
