“…Hence, justification of the penetration of the city into agriculture land is weak, which is adding credibility to agricultural land preservation. The formation of the so-called 'urban-rural fringe' (Pryor, 1969) on the boundaries between Gračanica and adjacent municipalities will likely lead to new spatial transformations, as "an important issue in the urban-rural fringe is the rapid pace of change" (Weaver and Lawton, 2001: 440). "The landscapes created by the transformation of the countryside around urban centres // are considered highly dynamic, but remain poorly understood."…”

During the past two decades, the area of Kosovo and Metohija has been subjected to extensive changes which can be studied through various layers of complex transition process and its outcomes. The emergence of new zones of rural settlements accounts for one of the major spatial results of the overall societal transition. In every of these administrative units -Štrpce, Ranilug, Gračanica and others, thorough spatial transformations continuously appear since the beginning of the transition process, to arrive to the point where sustainability of agrarian landscape is brought into question.By focusing the research on causal relations and on specific case example -the area of Gračanica, this paper studies the evolution of transition and concurrently investigates and defines its impacts on agrarian landscape. Multilayered space-time analysis has shown that the agrarian landscape of Gračanica currently rests on the borderline between sustainability and unsustainability. Since the beginning of the transition process, Gračanica landscape has been exposed to different physical, ecological, economic and socio-cultural pressures which contravene its value and qualities. The main current threats to the sustainability are found in development plans, erratic constructional and agricultural practice, environmental conditions, overall development, and inflow of capital which stimulates non-agricultural development and simultaneously causes multilayered loss of value of the most fertile agricultural land. Agrarian landscape of Gračanica area, as an absolute natural and cultural heritage, needs systemic preservation measures.

“…The share of local public expenditure (revenue) on total public expenditure (revenue) has been widely used as a proxy for the degree of decentralization (Pryor [30]; Oates [26]; Panizza [28]). Oates [25] suggests that, although imperfect, this variable should be a good measure of fiscal decentralization as "the extent of government activity on taxation and expenditure of public funds is certainly a component fundamental importance in determining its influence on resource allocation (Oates [26], p. 197).…”

This study focuses on the relationship between fiscal decentralization and ICRG index of corruption risk in both categories of emerging and developing countries, using a sample of 38 countries for the period 2000-2014. The aim is to focus on expenditure and revenue decentralization giving importance to the effects of subnational revenue mobilization on this correlation as: Tax revenue, Non tax revenue and fiscal imbalances. The study shows a significant and robust correlation between expenditure decentralization and the index of corruption: expenditure decentralization tends to reduce the risk of corruption in these two categories of countries. The impact of Tax Revenue is as important in this relationship as it helps reduce the risk even more. While revenue decentralization and especially non-tax revenue has no significant relationship with the index.

“…During this process, regions located in the rural-urban interface inevitably gain several dynamic and transitional characteristics. These regions, also called urban fringes (Ptyor, 1968;Gu and Xiong, 1989;Furuseth and Lapping, 1999), are special geographic locations with dual features. They distinguish themselves both socially and economically from urban or rural areas.…”

With the expansion of urban areas, many traditional villages with high heritage values in the urban fringes in China are being destroyed. This study proposes a resilient method for renovating traditional villages in the urban fringe in Guangzhou, China. The authors begin with an analysis of two existing renovation models from the constitutional, economic, and social perspectives. Based on our reorganization of the advantages and disadvantages of the two models, the authors suggest the application of the co-evolution model, which entails the establishment of an intermediate space supporter between the urban area and the village. Consequently, urbanization capital can be accumulated and effectively distributed into relevant fields. The goals of this process include protecting cultural heritage, maintaining social networks, eliminating hidden social dangers, and creating new employment opportunities. The co-evolution model respects the development needs of both urban and rural areas, and seeks a win-win situation, wherein each party could adapt and renew themselves gradually and positively. Thus, this model has significance in the renovation of traditional villages in the urban fringe.
