Water resources are vital for humanity, ecosystems and the economy, and its inefficient use is a serious problem. The main aim of the present research was to analyse and evaluate the impact of water use, from the perspective of a sustainable economic development, and to determine to what extent it can become a relevant indicator in this respect. For this purpose, three indicators were considered: water productivity, water exploitation index and water footprint. Based on the findings highlighted in the research, it can be concluded that the considered indicators can constitute representative instruments in understanding the European environmental policy.

Under these circumstances the development of medium-term strategies involves long-term studies regarding on the one hand the developments and characteristics of the demand, and on the other hand the tourist potential analysis at regional and local level. Although in the past 20 years there has been tremendous growth of on-line booking made by household users, the tour operators agencies as well as those with sales activity continue to offer the specific services for a large number of tourists, that number, in the case of domestic tourism, increased by 1.6 times in case of the tour operators and by 4.44 times in case of the agencies with sales activity. At the same time, there have been changes in the preferences of t...

The level of economic development in the macroregion 4, which includes and South West Oltenia Region, is quite sensitive to economic developments from the global and macro level. Through a comparative analysis of the evolution of unemployment rate at the level of macroregion 4 and the level of regions that compose it can be seen that the level of its in the South West Oltenia Region (Dolj, Gorj, Mehedinţi, Olt and Vâlcea) is almost double that level recorded in the West Region

In this respect, Land Use and Coverage Area Frame Survey (LUCAS) studies aim to investigate land use at the community level to gather information necessary for the analysis of the interactions between agriculture, environment and rural landscape and to provide estimates of agricultural areas with main crops. According to data from Eurostat, between May and October 2022, through the use of digital techniques, the levels of land coverage and land use, pastures, as well as irrigation management and structural elements in the landscape, were examined on the ground throughout the European Union. Data on the agricultural environment and soil were collected in the georeferenced points belonging to a representative sample by observing and completing the field form. At the level of the s...

Cloud computing provides the companies the innovative technologies for connected and smart businesses. Although the Internet access of companies in the European Union is high (98% of companies), the average use of cloud computing in 2021 was only 41%. The purpose of the article is to evaluate and compare the use by enterprises in European Union countries of cloud computing services. The results indicate that within the 27 Countries of the European Union, the stages of use of cloud computing services in enterprises recorded significantly different levels from one state to another, both in 2020 and 2021. A negative fact is to maintain the gap between the states with the highest shares of companies using cloud computing services, Sweden and Finland (75%), and those with the lowest shares, Romania (14%) and Bulgaria (13%).

The main objective of this study is to identify and analyze the place of Romania between 35 European countries and Turkey, in terms of tertiary education. Cluster analysis has been used to achieve this goal, and the results indicate similarities and disparities between the countries analyzed. This article can be a reflection for decision-makers in the development of a skilled workforce..

The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) shows the digital gaps between Romania and the other EU member states, the last place ranks by our country in this hierarchy indicating the existence of fundamental problems. Thus, Romania's participation in the creation and development of the Digital Single Market is at the same time an opportunity, but also immense challenges determined on the one hand by the recovery of the gaps and on the other hand by the complexity of the digitization process. The main objective of this study is to analyze the current situation of one of the five dimensions of DESI in Romania, namely digital public services, in terms the interaction with citizens. Various sources of data were used for this research, such as: EU reports about e-government, IT portals, research papers and other offici...

Under these conditions, in international tourism, travel agencies should provide modalities and opportunities for planning and conducting stays that would counteract the negative impact of conflict situations in a region with openings to the most secure geographical regions. Starting from these realities, the paper analyzes the evolution of external actions organized by the travel agencies from Romania in the last ten years. The results show that at least so far both the offers and the actions of tour operator agencies and sale activity agencies have been sufficiently attractive so that the interest and implicit demand of tourists has generally ...
