Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out how the settlement systems in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia changed during the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, and what the trends for further urban change are. In the Soviet period, single farms that existed in all three east Baltic countries were destroyed. The inhabitants of single farms were moved to central settlements. Cities grew in all the republics, especially in the largest centres. A network of satellite settlements grew up around the capitals, which was particularly dense around Tallinn and Riga. The capitals and their surrounding settlements are currently growing at a very high speed in all the east Baltic countries. This concentrates administrative functions and a highly skilled workforce, and attracts the most investment. As a result, peripheral areas, especially villages, are disappearing, and their inhabitants are emigrating. Such areas are becoming unattractive to business.In order to show the situation, the authors used a comparative analysis method, as well as cartographic, graphic and other methods. The anticipation of settlement principles and trends is one of the most important tasks of regional policy in each country. Therefore, an interpolation method was used to make estimates of the urban population in the three largest cities in the east Baltic countries from 2020 to 2023. The trend analysis indicates that the populations of most of the largest cities in the east Baltic countries will decrease.

Abstract

This study consists of three main themes: (1) An overview is given about the main findings of the economic theories associated withemployment and labour / paid work; reinterpretation of the concept of labour is also provided, divided into pre-industrial, industrialand post-industrial periods, which the author aligns with the periods of the economic thought. The author interprets globalizationas a factor influencing the transition between industrial and post-industrial periods; and she elaborately introduces its economicsocialand labour market impacts. Among the potential alternatives of employment of the future, this thesis investigates the atypicalforms of employment, public employment and social (solidarity) economy. (2) Central-Eastern European countries and regions areanalyzed, as the territorial unit of the research, from labour market and employment aspects. Afterwards, the author evaluates theemployment situation of her closer environment, Northern Hungary. (3) Afterwards, she contributes suggestions to the criteria ofcreating a more efficient regional employment policy. The aim of this research was analysed the regional labour market situation bythe Central-Eastern European countries and regions, in particular by the North Hungarian region and was gave some proposals for apossible, efficient regional employment policy. Therefore through the multiple transformation of work concept, the demand for alternativeemployment forms has increased along with the significant change of the content. The author believes that these alternativefields and the regional employment policy can provide the answer for global labour market problems in the future. At the beginningof her research, she hypothesised that the position of the North Hungarian region is significantly determined by its special economicand social context which can be derived from the end of communism. The author used Hoover-index, tested the Okun’s law inCentral-Eastern European countries and regions, calculated the Markov-chain model and used factor analysis methods.

Abstract

The main aspects of the tourism industry in the Odessa region, development trends, and features of the activity of specialised

accommodation establishments are considered in this article. The main concentration of specialised accommodation establishments

is located in the coastal part of the Odessa region. During the period 2011 to 2017, the number of establishments decreased by 40%

(spa hotels and holiday centres with treatment), and the number of holiday centres decreased by 85%. The general trend in the health

and medical complex is associated with a reduction in the network of institutions, which is associated with economic difficulties,

the attraction of the necessary resources for the operational activities of enterprises, and a decline in the quality of services. Trends

in the development of the hotel industry and potential opportunities for the development of the infrastructure in the southern part of

the Odessa region are considered in the article. Promising areas of tourism development are medical tourism and rural tourism, in

combination with gastronomic and wine tourism. One of the programmes that can be adopted to intensify regional development is

the EU programme Support for Geographical Indications in Ukraine.

Abstract

The article builds on the authors’ research into the formation and activity of trans-border cooperation of Belarus as part of regional policy and part of cooperation with neighbouring EU countries, addressing questions that may also be relevant on a broader regional scale. Based on empirical findings, this article aims to discuss the effectiveness of trans-border cooperation in general and activities of the Euroregion in particular. How do national and local governments, the existing legal framework, the level of cohesion of Euroregions as an important organizational form of trans-border cooperation of the administrative-territorial units of the Republic of Belarus and neighbouring countries in sociocultural, economic, socio-political dimensions contribute to the capacity of those initiatives to be a part of foreign and domestic policies? We take five Euroregions “Dnepr” (Belarus, Russia, Ukraine), “Bug” (Poland, Ukraine, Belarus), “Belovezhskaya puscha” (Poland, Belarus), “Neman” (Kaliningrad region, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus) and “Ozerny krai” (Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus). The empirical data were collected through the analysis of current legal framework of trans-border cooperation in Belarus and through personal interviews with representatives of government, scientists involved in the Euroregion studies, as well as among representatives of public institutions and associations of the countries – participants of the Euroregions. We find that even though Belarus has a reduced level of relationship with the European Union a crucial feature for all Euroregions is the number of projects in framework of mainly the EU technical assistance programs. The paper, therefore, highlights that from one hand, the economic and social development in bordering regions could take place without Euroregions, from another – the prospective role of the Euroregions will be in development of “good neighbourhood belt” on the perimeter of external borders of Belarus in all its dimensions: military, political, cultural, informational, social and economic.

Abstract

Kaimo vietovių vystymosi procesas tampa vis labiau atviras ir kompleksiškas. Aiškesnis ir skaidresnis suinteresuotų veikėjų poveikis kaimo vietovėse priimamiems sprendimams ir atliekamiems veiksmams. Vystymosi iniciatyvų sėkmę ir efektyvumą garantuoja suinteresuotų veikėjų tikslai, neatsiejami nuo kaimo organizacijų vystymosi tikslų. Kaimo vietovių vystymosi organizacinis mechanizmas sinchronizuoja suinteresuotų veikėjų ir kitų mechanizmo elementų veiksmus, jų sąveiką, organizacinius pokyčius: derinami suinteresuotųjų interesai ir motyvuojama prisidėti prie kaimo vietovių vystymosi iniciatyvų, siekiant spręsti esamas problemas. Šio straipsnio tikslas – apibrėžti kaimo vietovių vystymo organizacinį mechanizmą ir nustatyti jo funkcionavimu suinteresuotas šalis. Atliekant tyrimą išanalizuota mechanizmo sąvokos raida, kuri sudarė prielaidas sukurti kaimo vietovių vystymo organizacinio mechanizmo sąvoką. Išanalizuotos Lietuvos 2007–2013 m. vietos plėtros strategijose numatytos 51-os vietos veiklos grupės misijos, leidusios identifikuoti kaimo vietovių vystymo organizacinio mechanizmo funkcionavimu suinteresuotus veikėjus.
