Locality and the (un) Sustainable Settlements
This second number of Geographical Locality Studies dips into locality by analysing
the World's settlements (villages, towns, cities) and their composite structures
and complexity. The aim of the multidisciplinary editors and authors is to highlight
the urban areas to give understanding about their suitability in the context of 21st
century thinking of environmentalism and sustainability. The various articles
analyse some parts of the Earth's urban environment and bring examples from
different locations of the planet to show how a settlement (or anything that
strongly relates to the human sphere) is sustainable or unsustainable.
This present issue gives publicity to 9 scientific papers which were written by
an international team of expert researchers, higher education lecturers and
specialist masters students. The diversity of their subject specialism (which

Locality and the (un) Sustainable Settlements
This second number of Geographical Locality Studies dips into locality by analysing
the World's settlements (villages, towns, cities) and their composite structures
and complexity. The aim of the multidisciplinary editors and authors is to highlight
the urban areas to give understanding about their suitability in the context of 21st
century thinking of environmentalism and sustainability. The various articles
analyse some parts of the Earth's urban environment and bring examples from
different locations of the planet to show how a settlement (or anything that
strongly relates to the human sphere) is sustainable or unsustainable.
This present issue gives publicity to 9 scientific papers which were written by
an international team of expert researchers, higher education lecturers and
specialist masters students. The diversity of their subject specialism (which
involves geography, environmental science, urban planning, environmental
management) provides a wider analytical view on the main topic of the journal;
therefore, their tasks were to show specific examples brought over from their
specialist and research areas to introduce the reader to locality, settlement
planning and their sustainability, efficient management of urban transport and
energy related topics. In accordance to the tradition of Frugeo Geography Research
Initiative's GLS series, "Locality and the (unsustainable Settlements" is
commemorating the life of JózsefTóth, an exceptional scholar and academic who
greatly influenced and shaped the modern human geography at an international
level. He suddenly died on the 7th February 2013, but his work and achievements
will always be found and traced in settlement geography.
