Abstract The aim of the research is to elaborate the model of factors influencing competitiveness of the Latvian fisheries sector cluster. Based on the studied scientific literature, the research provides an improved definition of the sector competitiveness and defines the factors influencing the competitiveness of the sector. As a result of the analysis, the author has discovered that there are several internal and external social, economic, political and environmental factors that influence the competitiveness of the Latvian fisheries sector cluster. It is advisable to the institutions involved in fisheries policy-making to take into account the identified factors, influencing the competitiveness, and their changes when making and improving the general policy of the sector.

The article analyzes the concept, goals, and problems of conversion of abandoned industrial buildings and areas, as well as the benefit of successful conversion to urban development. The review of scientific literature allows claiming that the old industrial buildings are very attractive for investment. The article distinguishes the main types of conversion, and their characteristic features. The research describes environmental factors influencing conversion and develops the set of indicators to evaluate conversion. Different types of conversion projects are assessed applying the multi-criteria method WASPAS-G. It is established that the best of the projects is converting a building into a lofttype housing, which could give a significant positive impact on the urban and architectural environment and be environmentally friendly both during the production and exploitation period. Straipsnyje nagrinėjama apleistų gamybos ir pramonės pastatų bei teritorijų konversijos samprata, tikslai, problemos, sėkmingos konversijos rezultatų nauda miesto plėtrai. Atlikta mokslinės literatūros analizė leidžia teigti, kad senieji pramoniniai pastatai yra itin patrauklūs investicijoms. Straipsnyje išskirti pagrindiniai konversijos tipai, jiems būdingi bruožai. Apibūdinti konversiją veikiantys aplinkos veiksniai ir parengta konversijos vertinimo rodiklių aibė. Taikant daugiakriterį sprendimų priėmimo metodą WASPAS-G, įvertinti skirtingų konversijos tipų projektai. Nustatyta, jog geriausias iš nagrinėtų projektų yra pastato konversija į lofto tipo būstą, kuris turi didelę teigiamą įtaką urbanistinei ir architektūrinei miesto aplinkai ir yra palankus aplinkai tiek gamybos metu, tiek ir pastatą eksploatuojant.

Key Questions

In this paper the author explores advantages and disadvantages of expanding the definition of security from the traditional state-centric and military-oriented focus of security to the broader focus on human security. The author's opinion is that human security indicates important social-economic threats, but that the theory of the concept has not yet been coherently developed. Such a broad concept with so many equally valid dimensions of security lacks mechanisms for the establishment of causal relationship among them, and for prioritisation on policy level. There are no clear answers on key questions: who or what will provide human security under which conditions, and how? The all-inclusiveness of the human security approach reduces its value as a concept both to inform and to legitimise practical policy-making.

Legal Understanding

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.

The spread of suburbs into previously rural areas has become commonplace in the United States. A rather striking aspect of this phenomenon has been the discontinuity which results. This aspect is often manifest in a haphazard mixture of unused and densely settled areas which has been described as “sprawl”. A more useful definition of suburban sprawl, its causes, and its consequences, is provided below in order to introduce the econometric objectives of this paper.
