This is one of the first comprehensive research tasks in Slovakia, which is trying t...

The article represents partial results of three-year investigation devoted to the childfree phenomenon. The subject of the research is the problem of voluntary refuse from childbearing in modern Russian society and possible consequences of such an ideology. The review of studies devoted to the given subject and the analysis of social researches about family, marriage behavior and reproductive orientations showed that the spreading of the childfree ideology is not able to influence on demographic situation in Russi...

The aim of the study is to analyze the natural and anthropogenic factors and long-term processes that explained the intensity and scale of the flood disaster that occurred on 19.06.2014 in Varna. For this purpose two related models of disaster – ‘Pressure and Release model’ (PAR model) and ‘Access model’ are applied. The PAR model shows how the causes of vulnerability can be traced back from unsafe conditions, through economic and social (dynamic) pressures, to underlying root causes. The idea is that a disaster i...

Demographic security is a multifaceted phenomenon. In the study of demographic threats, dozens of indexes are investigated. It is difficult to conduct a comparative analysis of demographic threats in different countries across all indexes. To perform this kind of analysis, it is advisable to use integrated indexes. The construction and application of the integrated indexes in the assessment of various phenomena and processes makes it possible to take into account the main features of the object of research and to ...

This article is dealing with the spatial differences of the European population ageing. The research is focused on spatial differences of ageing process between 28 European Union countries. The analyses on this spatial level are working with the creation of cartogram method for processing of the demographical data. We can use ArcGIS and his version ArcMap as a complete system for information for better processing the spatial data by the help of cartogram method.
