The book is inspired by the reports discussed at the Conference Territorio, popolazione e risorse: strutture produttive nell’economia del mondo romano, organized in Naples, on 26 October 2018; it represents the result of a research project aimed at analysing the economic, political and social evolution of the Italic territory, mainly of Regio I, in Roman times.For this specific geographical-administrative area, we have considered aspects and problems relating to the rural landscape, the forms of production and the role of cities, through the reinterpretation of different types of evidence (primarily literary and documentary sources) on the basis of the theoretical assumption that there is a close correlation between population, resource exploitation and urbanization. Il volume trae spunto dalle relazioni discusse nel Convegno Territorio, popolazione e risorse: strutture produttive nell’economia del mondo romano, organizzato a Napoli il 26 ottobre 2018; rappresenta il risultato di un progetto di ricerca inteso ad analizzare l’evoluzione economica, politica e sociale del territorio italico, principalmente della regio I, in epoca romana. Per questo specifico ambito geografico-amministrativo, si sono considerati aspetti e problemi relativi al paesaggio rurale, alle forme di produzione e al ruolo delle città, attraverso la rilettura di diverse tipologie di evidence (innanzitutto fonti letterarie e documentarie), sulla base del presupposto teorico che esista una stretta correlazione tra popolazione, sfruttamento delle risorse e urbanizzazione.

The book Rural Tourism is collective work of a team of members of the Association SVECR. After the monograph Municipal Tourism (2017), it is the second book from a series entitled Current Topics in Tourism. This monograph aims to present a wide range of issues related to rural tourism, which can be considered a possible option for establishing sustainable development in rural areas. The need for regular maintenance of the cultural landscape of the countryside requires the development of new alternative programs which will include tourism as one component. The publication includes the new insights contributing to the formation of a theoretical foundation, research projects and key studies about rural tourism in the Czech Republic. It presents possible options and current topics for next research in this area.

This superb historical and ethnographic study of the political economy of the Vega Baja region of Spain, one of the European Union's "Regional Economies," takes up the difficult question of how to understand the growing alienation ordinary working people feel in the face of globalization. Combining rich oral histories with a sophisticated and nuanced structural understanding of changing political economies, the authors examine the growing divide between government and its citizens in a region that has in the last four decades been transformed from a primarily agricultural economy to a primarily industrial one. Offering a new form of ethnography appropriate for the study of suprastate polities and a globalized economy, Immediate Struggles contributes to our understanding of one region as well as the way we think about changing class relations, modes of production, and cultural practices in a newly emerging Europe. The authors also consider how phenomena such as the "informal economy" and "black market" are not marginal to the normal operation of state and economic institutions but are intertwined with both.

Over the last two decades, many researchers have focused on developing countries' urbanization patterns and processes. In this context, the scarcity of spatial data has been an obstacle to studying urbanization quantitatively, especially in Asian and African cities. The use of remote sensing data and geographical information systems (GIS) techniques can overcome the above limitations. Data on land use and land cover, land surface temperature, population density, and energy consumption can be extracted based on remote sensing at various spatial and temporal resolutions. GIS techniques can be used to analyze urbanization patterns and predict future patterns. Thus, the link between urbanization and sustainable urban development has increasingly become a principal issue in designing and developing sustainable cities at the local, regional, and global levels. This volume shows the spatiotemporal analysis of urbanization using GIS and remote sensing in developing countries, with a special emphasis on future urban sustainability in Asia and Africa. Capturing the spatial-temporal variation of urbanization patterns will help introduce proper sustainable urban planning in developing countries, especially for Asian and African cities.
