Abstract:
The legacy of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics includes not only the infrastructure of the Krasnaya Polyana ski resort, which meets the highest international standards, but cutting-edge technology that helps to considerably reduce risks associated with the impact of anomalous phenomena of nature. The author conducts an assessment of the cost of adaptation activities aimed at boosting the economic effectiveness and sustainability of the development of ski resorts in the face of adverse weather and climatic conditions.

Abstract:
The paper is represented regional demographic problem and some aspects of quality of life of residents of northeastern Montenegro. The complexity of the inherited regional-development problems, with the emergence of new regional "transition poverty" reached the proportions that necessitate a new approach to defining the concept of regional and demographic development. There resulted the conclusion that the population of this part of north-eastern Montenegro is not satisfied with their living standards, and the main problems stand out unemployment and low salary. Past experience and current trends in socio-economic development, indicating that are inadequate regional demographic development is not only a consequence of defects applied development policy, but also a lack of systematic and institutional regulatory mechanisms.

Abstract:
Land surface temperature is one of the most important factors in climatology studies and human – environment interactions. Besides, land surface temperature is also an important factor when monitoring soil moisture. Ground-based observations reflect only thermal condition of local area around the station and in fact cannot establish the number of meteorological stations with expected density due to the high cost. Remote sensing technology with advantages such as wide area coverage and short revisit interval has been used effectively in the study of land surface temperature distribution. This article provides a synthetic analysis method of the actual problems monitoring the land surface temperature using LANDSAT thermal infrared image for monitor drought.

Abstract:
There is no doubt as to the relevance of research into modern climate change, since climatic changes concern all regions and countries around the world. Climate is, most importantly, a substantial share of any country’s resources. Virtually all sectors within the social/economic sphere, including the power industry, ecosystems, agriculture, forestry, construction, transport, tourism, etc., are, to one extent or another, feeling the negative effect from the anthropogenically altered environment, including climate change. The damage for the world economy is already estimated at billions of dollars, while, in prospect, it is expected to reach 20% of the gross world product by 2100. Climate change dictates a certain mode of economic activity and a strategy for economic development for many years to come. Forecasts by climatologists on trends in modern climate change often lack in consistency and may sometimes even be the reverse of what actually occurs. Therefore, of particular research and practice interest is research into trends in climate change in regions with a well-developed tourism industry.
