“…Economic challenges, such as resource supply risk, problematic ownership structures, unregulated markets and faulty incentive structures, lead to increasingly frequent financial and economic instabilities for individual companies and entire economies [3,4]. To address these and other sustainability issues, the concept of the circular economy has recently been developed in national policy programs [5,6]. The introduction of the concept of sustainability can be traced back to the growing evidence of global environmental risks such as ozone depletion, climate change, loss of biodiversity or changes in the nitrogen cycle.…”

“…More than 100 definitions of circular economy are used in scientific literature and professional journals. So many different definitions are used because the concept is used by a diverse group of researchers and practitioners [6,7]. Scholars emphasize a different aspect of this concept than financial analysts.…”

The traditional concept of the primary, secondary, tertiary and later quaternary economy is based on several structurally divided and related tasks and processes in processing raw materials and earth resources. Gradually, a new concept of the functioning of the economy was created, called “circular economy” or “circular economy”. Its basis is the transformation of linear economic processes managing the use of raw materials to create a sustainable economic growth model. The circular economy transforms economic activity associated with the consumption of limited resources into the more efficient reuse of resources. Based on the above, the presented article aims, based on theoretical and empirical analysis, to identify the potential of processing and using non-energy raw material—recycled aggregate—in the construction industry and to propose a concept for information modeling of the parameters of sustainable construction using this non-energy raw material per the principles of the circular economy. The solution to this research problem is realized through theoretical analysis and comparison of approaches to the circular economy, reuse of non-energy raw materials in the construction industry and analysis for the creation of a concept based on the use of information needed for sustainable construction planning through building information modeling (BIM). Based on my research, my results will be presented, the applicability of which is verified through a case study. The object of the case study is the construction of a new building, which will represent a set of five similar constructions interconnected by underground floors (garages, technical facilities of buildings) and communication spaces (corridor, hall). The priority of the construction of the centre is to build a sustainable building, i.e., to implement the work using sustainable methods with the greatest possible use of sustainable materials and procedures, which will reduce the impact on the ecosystem and support the goals of the circular economy. Traditional, natural raw materials will be replaced by recycled secondary raw materials within individual constructions and elements. When choosing suitable raw materials, the design of the BIM library of sustainable elements will help. The BIM library will act as a link between manufacturers and BIM digital replicas of real building products and components.

The paper focuses on assessing the effects of floods on selected components of the environment in the Hornád river basin: the impact of floods on population, water conditions, soil, fauna, flora and their habitats, structure and use of land and landscape, protected areas and their protection zones, the territorial system of ecological stability, urban complexes and land use, cultural and historical heritage, cultural values of an intangible nature, and archaeological and paleontological sites and important geological localities. The assessment was performed using the risk analysis method. The risk index was calculated by summing the products of probabilities and consequences for each impact of flooding on the components of the environment, and the total value of the risk index is 5.5 (average risk). The hazard index was determined by quantification of industrial sources of pollution in the river basin: each source of pollution was assigned a point score; the total hazard is represented by the sum of the points for these sources of pollution, and is equal to 19. The total risk index is then represented by the product of the risk and hazard indices, i.e. 104.5. This value indicates a low level of flood damage risk in the Hornád river basin.

Extreme weather changes have been increasing in the recent times also in the eastern Slovakia. Extremely dry periods alternate with above-average precipitation. In the paper the drought indices were evaluated: Standardized Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). Using the non-parametric statistical Mann-Kendall test. The evaluated period was 1960 – 2015 at selected river and climatological stations in the eastern Slovakia. The results showed that no clean significant trends occurred in all evaluated indices and stations.
