Solar energy is leading the charge in the shift to renewable energy sources because of its sustainability and abundance. With the use of remote sensing data and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology for land suitability research, this study evaluates the viability of developing solar farms in Baqubah City, Diyala, Iraq. Iraq is well-positioned for the spread of solar power due to its growing energy demand and dedication to diversifying its energy mix. Key elements included in the analysis were slope, land...

Earthquakes are unevenly distributed in space. Seismic events are predominantly concentrated within well-defined seismic belts, many of which coincide with the boundaries and interaction zones of major tectonic plates. These zones represent areas of accumulated stress and active geodynamic processes, where earthquake generation is most frequent. In seismically active territories such as Bulgaria, earthquakes constitute one of the most significant natural hazards due to their potential societal and infrastructural ...

This study presents a comparative retrospective analysis of the spatio-temporal dynamics of climatic parameters within the territory of Aktobe Region for two periods: 1970–2000 and 2000–2025. The methodological framework of the study is based on geographic information system (GIS) technologies, the WorldClim global raster climate database, and verified observational data from the stationary meteorological network of RSE “Kazhydromet.” The aim of the research is to identify trends in mean annual, maximum, a...

Abstract This study examines the tourist valorization of speleological heritage in the Republic of Kosovo. Owing to its geological, geomorphological, hydrological, cultural-historical, and biological heritage, as well as favorable climatic conditions, Kosovo possesses significant potential for the development of speleotourism, ecotourism, and tourism more broadly. In recent years, ecotourism has gained increasing importance within the tourism sector and is widely regarded as a key component of sustainable developm...

The rapid evolution of geographic information technologies has significantly transformed the field of regional atlas cartography, shifting the paradigm from static, paper-based publications to dynamic, interactive web environments. This paper introduces the methodological framework, structural design, and practical execution of the combined print and web-based geographical atlas of the Kvemo Kartli region, Georgia. Developed by the Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography, this project synthesizes centuries of ...
