The overall human progress continuously stimulates the transformation of the notion of architecture and enhances the development of new architectural forms. In line with the thesis that only sustainable architecture allows the fulfilment of contemporary requirements to full extent, this paper explores the variety of developed mobile educational spaces, classifies them into types and analyses their sustainability aspects. The analysis aims to define the cases and needs to which mobile educational spaces respond best, i.e. according to which their utilization is justifiable. The results open a new research debate on the relationship between sustainability and the duration of utilization.

Eco-communities are a potential model for the socio-technological transition to a post-carbon society. The debate over their economic sustainability has, however, been limited. This article aims to enhance the discussion by offering a conceptualization of the economic micro-system created in eco-communities. It uses the economic terms households and firms to discuss two ways in which the community economy is positioned and then goes on to explore the principles behind the non-market (non-monetary) activities of households and the not-only-for-profit activities of firms as the basis of the eco-community economy. It concludes by pointing out that both can operate in parallel, with eco-communities producing non-market capital that can be used to develop not-only-for-profit activities which support the economic sustainability of the projects.

Wydłużanie się trwania życia, obserwowane w ostatnich dekadach i przewidywane w kolejnych, prowadzi do zmiany relacji między okresem aktywności zawodowej i pobierania świadczenia emerytalnego. Jednorazowe zmiany polegające na podwyższeniu wieku uzyskiwania uprawnień emerytalnych nie rozwiązują problemu, lecz prowadzą po pewnym czasie do konieczności wdrażania kolejnych zmian. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest przedstawienie stosowanych rozwiązań, które — w różny sposób i w różnym zakresie — próbują umożliwiać dostosowanie wieku uzyskania uprawnień emerytalnych i wysokości świadczenia emerytalnego do zachodzących zmian umieralności.

Transport is generally an instrument for globalization. It is not possible to use transport as an instrument for de-globalization. For compensating the negative effects of globalization on regional and local markets, a world-wide sustainable development process is to be started. This is an idea propagated by United Nations since the publishing of the Brundtland-Report. Sustainability has three components: the social, the ecological and the economic sustainability. Economic sustainability is realized when the (transport) enterprises make no profits and setting the prices is following a price-wage-rule. This rule postulates that the price and wage have to be equal. However, transport can also set incentives for social and ecological sustainability. Transport is no instrument for de-globalization, but an important instrument for compensating the negative effects of globalization. The measures which transport policy has to realize sustainability are not new, but we need to a new world-wide concept for transport policy. We have to accept, that the world is one economic area and not more than two hundred areas. We need only one set of economic rules and not over hundred different sets of rules.

In particular, it has influenced farmers’ behaviour by making them reconsider their participation in agricultural production, leading to farm exits or reorientation towards production of cereal. The problem of the research: in order to assess if Single Area Payment Scheme worked for sustainable development of agriculture in Lithuania, the extent to which the CAP 2004-2013 direct payment scheme has contributed to the increase/reduction of viability and economic attractiveness of different types of farming in Lithuania is examined. The objective of the research is to carry out selection of indicators that characterize the economic attractiveness of different types of farming and to apply these selected indicators for assessing the impact of CAP 2004-2013 direct payment scheme in Lithuania.

System płatności bezpośrednich Wspólnej Polityki Rolnej (zwanej dalej WPR) przyczynił się do zmiany strukturalnej w litewskim rolnictwie. W szczególności wpłynął na zachowanie rolników, skłaniając ich do ponownego rozważenia udziału w produkcji rolnej, co z kolei prowadziło do rezygnacji z prowadzenia gospodarstwa lub zmiany orientacji produkcji na produkcję zbóż. W ramach pracy zbadano w jakim stopniu system płatności bezpośrednich WPR 2004-2013 przyczynił się do podniesienia/ obniżenia rentowności i atrakcyjności gospodarczej różnych typów rolniczych na Litwie, aby ocenić, czy system jednolitej płatności obszarowej miał wpływ na zrównoważony rozwój rolnictwa na Litwie. Celem badania był dobór wskaźników charakteryzujących atrakcyjność gospodarczą różnych typów rolniczych oraz zastosowanie tych wybranych wskaźników do oceny wpływu system płatności bezpośrednich WPR 2004-2013 na Litwie.

Digital payment system (DPS) is witnessing growth day by day, especially, in Asian and European countries. E-banking, electronic payment, cashless or less cash economy, digital economy, Digital payment system are all synonymously used to represent new technology in use. Many researchers have discussed about DPS practices leading to economic and sustainable development, its significance and challenges, factors for intention to use and adoption etc. This paper discusses implementation process of a 100% cashless township, created in India. With digitalization, one cannot rule out the ambiguity with issues like cyber security, digital identity and related policies, and hence we see people conveniently using both, cash and card system. But in India, once being tagged as fully digital village is switching back to the old all cash mode. So the much promising digital village initiatives have fallen flat. Hence this paper presents a case of a government company, which has fostered a responsible action in subordinating governments’ ‘Digital India program’. In 2016, GNFC has created first 100% Cashless Township in Gujarat, India, consisting of 5000 permanent residents and 10,000 floating population and still continue to transact in digital-only form. This sustainable model has been replicated to more than 100 townships across the country and is adoptable to rural areas to enable successful ‘Digital Villages‘. We also discuss the sustainable impact generated to the stakeholders in the township. We use primary data and secondary data to collect required information and use Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to identify user adoption and acceptance factors in GNFC s digital-only mode of payment system.
