“…The countries supported with measures undertaken by communities such as European Union, for example, as part of its initiatives (European Commission, 2018) seek to implement economic solutions based on sustainable development, a concept defined in social, economic and environmental terms (Elkington, 2004). It has been suggested that by 2030 cultural factors should be also included as the fourth sustainability component (Soini & Birkeland, 2014;Nurse, 2006). In addition, sustainable development should take place on three action levels, i.e.…”

The social and economic policy pursued by national and European authorities is supported by the redistribution of public funds. Choices made by European member states regarding the relevant scale of redistribution should promote the individual nation's sustainable development and competitiveness. Increased capital and workforce flows strengthen so-called fiscal and spending competition, which weakens governments' capacity for running an autonomous fiscal policy. In EU countries, however, there are still quite significant differences between the basic parameters of fiscal and spending systems, indicating that governments are not as powerless as is often claimed. Further, the fact that elements of fiscal policy have consequences for a country's competitiveness should not be overlooked. Keeping this in mind, the main purpose of this article is to examine to what extent EU member states' public spending can have a real impact on changing performance indicators for goals related to competitiveness and sustainable development. To this end, an approach based on panel models (individual vs. random effects) verified with a Hausman specification test was used. Our findings demonstrate the significant impact of an active spending policy on the indicators selected for analysis, i.e. indicators related to the stable development and competitiveness of EU member states within the period of 2008-2018. Our research results have also shown that to measure competitiveness there is a need to integrate a number of varied economic, social and innovative factors to analyze the growth potential of a particular country. In turn, our model studies demonstrate that countries where the fiscal deficit is below 3% of GDP can implement a sustainable development policy more effectively, thus promoting competitiveness, instead of the periodic shocks and budget cuts which accompany remedial processes and procedures to alleviate excessive deficits.

“…Thus, Palang et al (2017) highlighted as both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary methods as key tools for an integrative approach to landscape analyze. Stephenson (2008) and Naveh (2000) reported the need for science to establish new methods for analyzing the landscape more holistically and as a dynamic system.…”

The present work presents an integrated view of landscape analysis through the construction of a signature system for the analysis of landscape types. These signatures were based on metrics that informed different patterns for each landscape type, which allowed the behavior of the landscape to be visually analyzed. The signature system was applied through a landscape classification developed through fieldwork to gather data on socioenvironmental categories combined with remote sensing data. The study site was the border region between Brazil and French Guiana. The results of this work showed that in situ landscape classification techniques can be supported by the analysis of quantitative metrics of landscape analysis, reinforcing the need for integrative and systemic studies in landscape geography.

“…Carefully adapting to modern ways of life will also change the foodways and the cultural coastal landscape and continue to do so as long as there are fish. Culture can be seen as the key to cautious development, to help people decide whether changes should be accepted [66,67] and how to sustain life in the ecological, economic, and social sphere. The outsiders' attachment to fishing as a positive identity supports the continuance of traditions and coastal landscapes, but on the other hand, this strong identity highlights aspects of "dependency" on fishing, which explains why fishing entrepreneurs feel that alternative forms of employment are difficult to access [30].…”

The cultural sustainability of coastal landscapes relies heavily on the community’s self-organisation in fish foodways. The theoretical framework concentrates on cultural sustainability, foodways, land–sea interactions, and community of practice. The data presented in this article were part of the SustainBaltic Integrated Coastal Zone Management plan, consisting mainly of semi-structured and focus group interviews with stakeholders, supported by background information from various available sources. The results are outlined by descriptions of self-organisation, community matters, and food forming cultural sustainability of coastal landscapes. The self-organisation in community of practice among coastal fishers is slowly progressing by negotiating common resources and voicing concerns about ecological, economic, and social sustainability. Foodways, which comprise the indispensable ingredient for sustaining a way of life that has produced traditional coastal landscapes, are always evolving.
