This study illustrates the spatio-temporal dynamics of urban growth and land use changes in Samara city, Russia from 1975 to 2015. Landsat satellite imageries of five different time periods from 1975 to 2015 were acquired and quantify the changes with the help of ArcGIS 10.1 Software. By applying classification methods to the satellite images four main types of land use were extracted: water, built-up, forest and grassland. Then, the area coverage for all the land use types at different points in time were measured and coupled with population data. The results demonstrate that, over the entire study period, population was increased from 1146 thousand people to 1244 thousand from 1975 to 1990 but later on first reduce and then increase again, now 1173 thousand population. Builtup area is also change according to population. The present study revealed an increase in built-up by 37.01% from 1975 to 1995, than reduce -88.83% till 2005 and an increase by 39.16% from 2005 to 2015, along w...

Land use/Cover Change in Russia within the context of global challenges. The paper presents the results of a research project on Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) in Russia in relations with global problems (climate change, environment and biodiversity degradation). The research was carried out at the Faculty of Geography, Moscow State University on the basis of the combination of remote sensing and in-field data of different spatial and temporal resolution. The original methodology of present-day landscape interpretation for land cover change study has been used. In Russia the major driver of land use/land cover change is agriculture. About twenty years ago the reforms of Russian agriculture were started. Agricultural lands in many regions were dramatically impacted by changed management practices, resulted in accelerated erosion and reduced biodiversity. Between the natural factors that shape agriculture in Russia, climate is the most important one. The study of long-term and short-ter...

Land use and land cover change is a complex process, driven by both natural and anthropogenic transformations (Fig. 1). In Russia, the major driver of land use / land cover change is agriculture. It has taken centuries of farming to create the existing spatial distribution of agricultural lands. Modernization of Russian agriculture started fifteen years ago. It has brought little change in land cover, except in the regions with marginal agriculture, where many fields were abandoned. However, in some regions, agricultural lands were dramatically impacted by changed management practices, resulting in accelerating erosion and reduced biodiversity. In other regions, federal support and private investments in the agricultural sector, especially those made by major oil and financial companies, has resulted in a certain land recovery. Between the natural factors that shape the agriculture in Russia, climate is the most important one. In the North European and most of the Asian part of the ...

In recent decades, Russia has experienced substantial transformations in agricultural land tenure. Post-Soviet reforms have shaped land distribution patterns but the impacts of these on agricultural use of land remain under-investigated. On a regional scale, there is still a knowledge gap in terms of knowing to what extent the variations in the compositions of agricultural land funds may be explained by changes in the acreage of other land categories. Using a case analysis of 82 of Russia’s territories from 2010 to 2018, the authors attempted to study the structural variations by picturing the compositions of regional land funds and mapping agricultural land distributions based on ranking “land activity”. Correlation analysis of centered log-ratio transformed compositional data revealed that in agriculture-oriented regions, the proportion of cropland was depressed by agriculture-to-urban and agriculture-to-industry land loss. In urbanized territories, the compositions of agricultura...

Despite harsh climate, agriculture on the northern margins of Russia still remains the backbone of food security. Historically, in both regions studied in this article – the Republic of Karelia and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) – agricultural activities as dairy farming and even cropping were well adapted to local conditions including traditional activities such as horse breeding typical for Yakutia. Using three different sources of information – official statistics, expert interviews, and field observations – allowed us to draw a conclusion that there are both similarities and differences in agricultural development and land use of these two studied regions. The differences arise from agro-climate conditions, settlement history, specialization, and spatial pattern of economy. In both regions, farming is concentrated within the areas with most suitable natural conditions. Yet, even there, agricultural land use is shrinking, especially in Karelia. Both regions are prone to being af...

In photos: Brean hosts British Land Yachting Championships

The two-day event was organised by Brean Land Yacht Club and began on Saturday February 28th and continued on Sunday March 1st.

“The weather was calm for much of Saturday which meant no racing was possible but then the wind picked up at around 4pm and allowed us to complete the first day’s races,” the club’s Mike Young told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

“Sunday was too windy first thing for racing but we managed to fit in several mini races. We had a good turnout through the weekend.”

During ideal conditions, the yachts speed across the sand at up to 60mph, making quite a spectacle for spectators, as pictured here.

Cruises are expensive but they're the best value. My family's cruise cost $3,500 less than a similar trip on land.

• Cruise prices are rising , and the added costs are impacting my family's travel budget.
• Despite the heftier price tags, I continue to book cruises because they're an excellent value.
• On a recent trip to Europe, I saved thousands sailing instead of doing a similar land-based trip. 

Although the cost of a cruise is going up, this form of travel is still the best value for a family vacation right now.

The average price of a cruise is up more than 40% since 2019, according to Cruise Critic data reviewed by CNBC. Pent-up demand has contributed to record-breaking bookings and advance ticket sales .

Inflation hasn't slowed the industry down, and costs might not be done rising, either. In December, Carnival CEO David Bernstein told investors the cruise line is "well positioned" to drive its prices up this year.

As a frequent cruiser who's sailed more than 50 times, I've navigated these increases over the past few months and found cruises are still a better deal than trips on land.

Cruise accommodations can be cheaper than hotel rooms, especially in popular destinations

Last summer, my family of three booked a 10-night European cruise to Norway and Iceland on the Norwegian Prima .

Our cruise fare alone amounted to just over $5,000. Although I secured a discounted price by booking during a last-minute sale, this was the most I've ever paid for a cruise.

Before I booked, I priced out hotel rooms throughout Norway and found that even basic stays in most destinations topped $300 a night.

Food costs were equally staggering: A basic medium McDonald's meal in Norway can be nearly $15. Finer fare, similar to what's included on cruise ships, costs even more.

After adding the train tickets, rental cars, and tour buses needed to get around the country to see as many places as we'd see on the cruise, my daily costs jumped even higher.

By comparison, my cruise offered a nearly all-inclusive experience that bundled dining, transportation, and more into one straightforward fare for about $500 a night.

It also included access to Broadway-style shows, pools, water slides, and family-friendly activities as we sailed between our itinerary's seven ports of call. And as a mom, having access to a ship's complimentary kid's club was priceless for getting alone time.

A side-by-side analysis of costs and ease of travel makes cruising a no-brainer

As I broke down my costs for a potential land-based trip through Norway, it became even more obvious that cruising was the less expensive option for my family.

Estimated costs for a 10-day Norway land-based trip for my family of three:

• Hotels: $300 per night = $3,000
• Transportation: $150 per day = $1,500
• Excursions & Entertainment: $200 per day = $2,000
• Dining: $200 per day = $2,000

Total: $8,500

(I excluded airfare, a necessary cost for both land and sea trips.)

Although my cruise's $5,000 initial price tag felt steep, this breakdown showed me it was far cheaper than the alternative.

Plus, I'd save so much hassle by not having to map out logistics myself and keep track of a slew of independently booked activities every day.

Sailing on a cruise can also get you premium ocean-front views at a palatable price

As a Floridian, I live near a major cruise port and don't always have to fly to go on a cruise. However, when comparing the costs of a beachfront hotel close to home and a Caribbean cruise setting sail from a local port, the latter still generally comes out ahead.

An ocean-view room at a nice hotel can cost upwards of $450 a night, and that price doesn't include dining or entertainment. Plus, hotel prices are also on the rise , up 40% to 50% compared to 2019.

Meanwhile, a three-night sailing on the Utopia of the Seas , Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship, can cost $533 a night. Given newer ships command more premium prices, I could likely snag a sailing on one of its other ships for even less.

In fact, the average price for a five-night Caribbean cruise in December was $736 — less than $150 per night.

At sea, I can enjoy included dining and entertainment, ocean views, and stops at beaches for an overall cost that rivals land-based hotels.

Cruise pricing and demand have changed the way I book, but I'm still sailing

With high demand for cruises, I've found deals are getting harder to come by.

Although I snagged a last-minute booking to Europe last summer, this year's search yielded mostly high prices and sold-out sailings.

But given everything included in these types of vacations, I'm still willing to pay for them, even if they cost me much more than before.

That said, my days of cruising on a whim are over. Travelers need to make reservations early to secure spots on in-demand ships .

I just booked my family on a cruise around New Zealand that's not setting sail until December 2025. It feels strange to book a trip this far out, but at least I have time to save up for the cruise's eye-watering $9,000 price tag.
