Thesis deals about cross-border cooperation, such a significant factor of regional development. This cooperation is oriented on the sphere of tourism, or rather destination management. This work analyses cross-border cooperation on the several levels. There is some new suggested project of cooperation as well.

The volume of human and economic as well as material resources put into action by the mining industry in rural spaces has given this industry the most powerful force to the diffusion of the industrial society in the traditional rural societies. The mobilized human resources include all levels, from high qualified executives to unqualified labor with low schooling level. The economic resources are of different types and are reflected in the circulation of goods, salaries, the changes in consumption patterns, and incomes received by the local governments. The direct/ indirect mobility of the material resources leads to the building of service's infrastructure, the appearance of new urban centers and industrial plants at the most backward places  of Peru, where poverty and State absence are dominant characteristics.Taking into account the cultural realms of the rural societies in the high mountains of Peru, where most of the mining operations are located, and given the variety of resources mobilized by the mining operations, we may identify interacting cultural, economic, social and environmental spaces that define a complex relationship between man and his geographical settings.This paper offers a geographical approach, both from physical and cultural points of view, through descriptive models. The objective is to recognize sorne underlying dynamic components attached to each space directed to the management of the local and industrial development. This study is based on a research carried out during 2005 in a medium size mine in the Central Andes of Peru, above 4.200 meters of altitude, in the Huancavelica region. The social realm is made of traditional peasant communities, Quechua speakers who live in extreme socio-economic  conditions. / El volumen de recursos humanos, económicos y materiales que moviliza la industria minera a los espacios rurales la convierten en el más poderoso  medio de difusión de la sociedad industrial en el medio rural tradicional. Los recursos humanos movilizados van desde ejecutivos altamente calificados hasta  obreros sin secunda­ ria completa, pasando por las más diversas profesiones y oficios. Los recursos eco­ nómicos son de una variada repercusión e importancia, y se reflejan en diferentes aspectos, como la circulación de mercancías, el efecto de los salarios en la econo­ mía local, la transformación de patrones de consumo y el ingreso que, por diferen­ tes conceptos, reciben los gobiernos locales. Finalmente, la movilización directa e indirecta de recursos materiales lleva a la construcción de infraestructura de servicios, de nuevos centros poblados y de plantas industriales en los más recónditos lugares del país,  donde por  lo general  imperan  la pobreza y la ausencia del Estado.Considerando las características culturales de las sociedades campesinas, en las zonas alto andinas, donde se localiza gran parte de la industria  minera,  y dada la gama de recursos que moviliza la minería como avanzada de la sociedad industrial, podemos identificar espacios de encuentro cultural, económico, ambiental y social que definen una compleja relación  entre el hombre y el espacio geográfico que lo rodea.El presente artículo ofrece una aproximación desde el punto de vista geográfico,tanto físico como cultural, a estos espacios, por medio de modelos descriptivos. El objetivo es reconocer algunos de los componentes dinámicos más importantes subyacentes a cada uno de los espacios con miras a una gestión del desarrollo local e  industrial.El artículo se basa  en  un  estudio realizado  durante el  año 2005,  en una  mina de mediana  escala situada en los Andes centrales del Perú, sobre los 4.200 metros sobre el nivel del mar, en la región Huancavelica. El ámbito social es de organizacio­nes campesinas tradicionales,  quechua hablantes y en condiciones socioeconómicas de  extrema  pobreza.

The thesis is devoted to the evaluation of land consolidation procedure in selected countries compared to the one in the Czech republic. Evaluated were countries where there is the possibility of comparison of historical connections, economic development, ecological consciousness and legislative maturity and flexibility. A contrast between Germany and Ukraine illustrates the determination of the Czech republic. There were the Czech republic, Ukraine, France and Germany analyzed. The thesis is divided into four basic parts, each of them focused to one of the previously mentioned states.

The present work has the objective of verifying the relation of the variables of Brazil Cost in the management and development of the medium-sized industries of the Southwest of Paraná. For this purpose, we worked on the theoretical framework the concept of Brazil Cost and its components: Logistics and Brazilian infrastructure; Brazilian Tax Charge; Labor Charges and Laws in Brazil; Electricity; Telecommunications; Interest (cost of capital); Bureaucracy; Corruption; And Instability of the currency; Industrial development in the context of regional development, highlighting the state industrial scenario and the Southwest Region of Paraná; And competitive strategies that can be developed by companies to remain competitive: variables strategic planning, intellectual capital, marketing, technology / innovation, quality, import, cost reduction, export, tax planning and partnerships / outsourcing. A quantitative approach was used with the use of regression and a qualitative approach concomitantly. The study was conducted with 32 industries from the Southwest of Paraná. The sample profile is predominantly in furniture sector, averaging 24 years of existence, generating almost 9,000 direct jobs and earning an average of R $ 27 million a year. With the research it was detected that the Brazilian Cost explains the variations of the national competitiveness variable, contrary to the findings of the literature, where the sample shows that raising the Brazil Cost increases the national competitiveness of the industries. It was verified that Brazil Cost in the sampling industries reaches 50.4% of its net revenue. The component that contributes most to the formation of the Brazil Cost is the tax burden and the one of smaller impact is the instability of the currency. It was also found that the variables marketing and cost reduction explain the variation in Brazil Cost, and, by investing in marketing, increases Brazil Cost and reducing costs automatically reduces Brazil Cost. Regarding the adoption of competitive strategies, it was understood that the sample industries invest in quality and cost reduction. The least used strategies are those related to foreign trade. It was noticed that the industries make use of several strategic actions but there is a very great range of strategies that are still not used and that could help in the development of the organization and to minimize the effects of the Brazil Cost. / Os altos custos produtivos no Brasil rendem vários debates. O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de verificar a relação das variáveis do Custo Brasil na gestão e desenvolvimento das indústrias de médio porte do Sudoeste do Paraná. Para tanto, trabalhou-se no referencial teórico o conceito de Custo Brasil e seus componentes: Logística e infraestrutura brasileira; Carga Tributária Brasileira; Encargos e Leis Trabalhistas no Brasil; Energia Elétrica; Telecomunicações; Juros (custo de capital); Burocracia; Corrupção; e Instabilidade da moeda; Desenvolvimento industrial no contexto do desenvolvimento regional, destacando o cenário industrial estadual e da Região Sudoeste do Paraná; e as estratégias competitivas que podem ser desenvolvidas pelas empresas para manterem-se competitivas: variáveis planejamento estratégico, capital intelectual, marketing, tecnologia/inovação, qualidade, importação, redução de custos, exportação, planejamento tributário e parcerias/terceirização. Utilizou-se uma abordagem quantitativa com o emprego da regressão e concomitantemente usou-se uma abordagem qualitativa. O estudo foi realizado com 32 indústrias do Sudoeste do Paraná. O perfil da amostra é de predominância moveleira, tempo médio de 24 anos de existência, gerando quase 9.000 empregos diretos e faturando em média R$ 27 milhões ao ano. Com a pesquisa detectou-se que o Custo Brasil explica as variações da variável competitividade nacional, mostrando-se contrário aos estudos apontados na literatura, no qual a amostra evidencia que elevando o Custo Brasil aumenta a competitividade nacional das indústrias. Verificou-se que o Custo Brasil nas indústrias da amostragem chega a 50,4% de sua receita líquida. O componente que mais contribui para a formação do Custo Brasil é a carga tributária e o de menor impacto é a instabilidade da moeda. Detectou-se também que as variáveis marketing e redução de custos explicam a variação no Custo Brasil, sendo que, investindo em marketing aumenta o Custo Brasil e reduzindo os custos automaticamente reduz o Custo Brasil. Em relação à adoção de estratégias competitivas notou-se que as indústrias da amostra investem em qualidade e redução de custos. Já as estratégias menos utilizadas são as ligadas ao comércio exterior. Percebeu-se que as indústrias fazem uso de várias ações estratégicas mas há uma gama muito grande de estratégias que ainda não são utilizadas e que poderiam auxiliar no desenvolvimento da organização e minimizar os efeitos do Custo Brasil.
