Analysis of Taxation of Property in Bosnia and Herzegovina by Lejla Lazović Pita, Amina Močević

“…In fact, most property tax revenues in Sarajevo Canton come from real estate transfer tax revenues and are collected in four municipalities forming the City of Sarajevo. Bearing in mind lack of reliable long term data in both BIH entities related to taxation of property, we conclude with a few policy recommendations and suggestions for future FBIH property related reforms which should in turn simplify the process of property taxation in FBIH and improve the position of local communities in FBIH. …”

Experimental Research on Mechanical Property and Environmental Safety of an Industrial Residue Waste Subgrade Material by Yangpeng Zhang, Jianping Xiong, Qinglin Li, Jiuhui Cui

“…The shear strength parameters and the anti-damage mechanism are also discussed; research results show that the friction of SOF mostly contributes to shear strength under high stress conditions, while its cohesion tends to play a more important role under low stress conditions. According to the deformation variation, the accumulation settlement of SOF under vehicle loadings after several years is predicted, which is far lower than the limit of expressway and Grade I highway. …”
