Since the beginning of the new century there is a trend in Bulgaria towards increasing demand for specialized tourism services. Although our country has unique combinations of natural and anthropogenic resources, they get quickly exhausted as an attraction. This requires continuous updating of tourism product in order to adapt it to the ever changing needs of users. Good prerequisites for that are presented in creating an integrated tourism product based on the available resources for development of rural and spa tourism in the region of the municipality of Velingrad - which is the subject of this research. On the one hand, the area is well-established and rich in mineral waters; it has the relevant facilities for development of SPA services and, on the other hand, it has the necessary prerequisites for development of rural tourism. The author states that, given the upcoming tourism regionalisation of the country, the creation of an integrated tourism product is the basis for achieving high competitiveness of tourism at international level.

This article analyzes the situation prevailing in recent years with young families. The family today has become almost the sole cultivator of traditional culture and values. A special role in this process is played by the rural family, as the village, rural lifestyle for centuries performed a stronghold of conservative moral and spiritual ideals and values. However, negative changes also affect the rural family, change its structure, composition, functions, the attitude of family members to each other, which leads to social problems of rural development. Based on the studies conducted, the main problems related to the migration of rural youth to cities or larger and more developed rural settlements are considered in the article. The paper updates the rural population aging, the village devastation, the orphan lands, the threat to the national security of the country. New data on the population census reveals the ongoing changes in the structures of rural and urban families. As a consequence of the research results, it was found that the principal problem of the state policy in relation to the rural young family, today, is the uncertainty of the Russian authorities on the future of rural areas.

This paper chronologically presents the main reforms and agrarian policies in Romania, over the last hundred years, starting with the 1918 agrarian reform and up to today's Community policies. The 1921 agrarian reform was based on King Ferdinand's solemn promise in 1917 to give land to the peasants who were the main participants in the First World War. This reform, which lasted for 10 years, expropriated 6,127 thousand ha; 1,479 persons became the owners of 3,404 thousand ha in total. Commons and village hearts were built. In its turn, the 1945 agrarian reform had a much smaller scale, i.e.1,444 thousand ha were expropriated and 1,058 thousand ha were distributed. In fact, the reform was only a bait, in order to attract the peasants to the side of the new communist power, for the 1946 elections. In 1949, it was decided to collectivize the agriculture, process that would end in 1962. The next reform was represented by Law 18/1991, enforced after the fall of communism. Initially, a maximum of 10 ha in arable equivalent land was returned. In parallel, the former state-owned enterprises turned into commercial companies and were privatized. After 1989, with the transition to the market economy, and after 1997, with the accession to the European Union, Romania's land policy has been subject to Community policies.

The goal of the paper was to chose the best regression model for milk production, the dependent variable, Y, and dairy bovine livestock, the independent variable, X, testing two polynomial regressions: linear regression and quadratic regression. The data were collected from the National Institute of Statistics for the period 2007-2014. The discrimination between models was based on the standard error of each type of regression, choosing the one which assured the highest accuracy of the prediction. As a conclusion, between milk production and dairy bovine livestock, it is a strong and positive correlation, r= 0.884, and about 78.30 % of milk production is determined by the milked livestock. As long as the Regression Standard Error was smaller in case of the Linear Regression, σest = 2,286.028830 than in case of the Quadratic Regression, σest = 2,336.915726, the linear regression having the formula y =23.974 x + 13,527 proved to better fit the data.

Health and well-being are the key drivers of social and economic development, as well as a major priority for the population and communities, as the deterioration in health generates the loss of life and the waste of resources in all sectors, besides suffering to people. Factors contributing to the prosperity also contribute to an increase in the health of the population, since fair access to education, decent living conditions and decent incomes contribute to maintaining health. At the same time, increasing work productivity, healthier aging of the population, and lower spending on sick leave and social benefits are influenced by population health. It is noticed that the current globalization process is becoming more and more conflicting from the point of view of the distribution of its offers, as it is accompanied by profound social inequality. In middle and low income countries, there is a marked increase in chronic disease that is increasingly worrying, we see increasing nutritional problems, an acute frequency of obesity worldwide, a demographic transition with population growth of the third age. Under these conditions, we consider that the relationship between sustainable development and public health are issues that are worth analyzing, so that public policies can take this into account and thus can contribute to increasing the well-being of the present and future generations.

This is time series analysis of Nigeria urban CPI and rural CPI to find out whether there exist relationship among urban and rural areas inflation. The CPI uses data from survey of consumption pattern of households to produce a timely and precise average price change for the consumption sector of any economy like the Nigerian economy. A total of 180 samples were used from monthly urban and rural CPI data from January 2001 to December 2015. Johansen Cointegration Test and Granger Causality Test were carried on, Vector Autoregression VAR model constructed to find out that there exist relationship among Nigeria Urban and Rural All item Consumer Price Index (NURACPI). Finally, impulse response function was used to check the response of urban (rural) CPI to the impulse of rural (urban) CPI and they were positive. This study finds out that there is high inflation rural area of Nigeria than urban area, the possible causes of it and how they affected each other.

The relative effectiveness of land use systems in improving the organic matter and physical properties of Ikwuano soils were evaluated. The study was conducted on an excavation site, a forest land, bush fallow land of five years, a refuse dump as well as that of the continuously cultivated land. However, organic matter content was significantly high on the refuse dump site and also clay content was high in excavation site, while sandy loam dominated other land use systems. Bulk density and micro porosity values of the soil under different land use systems increased with increase in depth. Also, total porosity and hydraulic conductivity decreased with increased in depth. Therefore, the variations between bulk density and total porosity is attributed to the results of organic matter obtained on refuse dump, bush fallow land, forest land as well as continuously cultivated land use systems. Under excavation land use, the soil was (P<0.05) more compact than other land use systems and this was due to low bulk density. However, refuse dump site (RD) gave significantly the highest values of soil organic matter and physical properties than the other land use systems at the various soil depths, whereas excavation site gave statistically the least value in the order : RD>FL>BF>CC>EX.
