In most countries, at the end of the 20th century the successful resolution of social-economic, political, demographic and ecological problems was largely dependent on effectively protecting the population and economic assets from natural disasters and on ensuring conditions for their sustainable development. These problems are most acute in mountainous regions like Georgia, where the unplanned development of natural ecosystems has had drastic consequences. It is therefore necessary to understand not only the probability of changing conditions (natural as well as political and demographic), but also the probability of the resulting economic losses.                The book is divided into four sections; historical and political geography, geological processes, ecological processes and developmental geography. In  the historical and political geography section  the authors present a detailed discussion on ancient history, historical and political geography, ethnic groups and  religions, demographics and  socio-cultural geography. The geological processes section contains information on geology, geodynamical processes, glacial and periglacial processes.  The ecological processes section examines a variety of landscapes and ecosystems, aspects of deforestation, reforestation and desertification along with anthropogenic impacts on the environment. The developmental geography section looks at different economies, natural resources,  sustainable development and climate change.  . 410 0$aWorld Regional Geography Book Series,$x2363-9083 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aGeotechnical engineering 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37010 606 $aMigration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 14$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aGeotechnical Engineering & Applied Earth Sciences. 615 24$aMigration. 676 $a947.95 700 $aBondyrev$b Igor V$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062480 702 $aDavitashvili$b Zurab V$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSingh$b Vijay P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299453603321 996 $aThe Geography of Georgia$92525813 997 $aUNINA
