The modern urban planning needs to be flexible and take into account the urban environment transformation during the mega-event organization process. Most of the researchers agree that, so called, mega-events have the significant influence on different aspects of the host city's life. Major of them also tend to evaluate the character and the degree of this impact. The research represents quite comprehensive data. The approaches used for selecting and grouping the impact of mega-events are chosen randomly. The authors believe that the appropriate methodology of tracing and classifying the transformation processes caused by mega-events should be applied to avoid the data loss, on the one hand, and, drawing the conclusions based on the data that do not correlate with the mega-event organization process impacts, on the other hand. The research concerns the typology of the elements of the urban environment suggested by the 'Urbanica' Institute of the area planning and can provide the matrix necessary to take into account all the transformation processes connected to the mega-event organization. In this paper, the case of Yekaterinburg as the host city of the FIFA World Cup 2018 is described. As all the host cities transform differently, it is important to elaborate urban environment development strategies based not only on the improperly confirmed conclusions about positive or negative impacts of the mega-events, but on the understanding of the transformation process itself.

Human resource management plays a key role in any company. Indeed, HR Management is a complex and indirect function that should be the focus of every company. As in any other field, in the field of Human Resource Management, digitalization will have its impact on increasing work efficiency in many processes. The role of the human resources department has shifted from the traditional one of "employment and dismissal" to a more structured position, focusing on another aspect of Human Resources development. Not every company understands or values the human resources department. There are many companies that perform the function of Human Resources performed by persons who do not know the processes of human resources and their commitment comes after they complete the jobs for which they are employed, the rest of the time they deal with Human resources. The digitalization of human resources will lead to the disappearance of some jobs, mainly positions related to technical processes, but more importantly it will push many of us to train and adapt to the future of digitalization in Human Resources. Some of the new positions that will be created with the digitalization of HR and that will be key for many companies, will be: Analytic HR, Digital Transfer HR, Digital Recruiter and many other positions that will be developed depending on the needs of HR in different industries. Human Resources positions are not just places filled with people; those places look for professionals so that companies have their desired development. In other words, the human resources department must ensure a high return on business investment in their employees if human resource management is entrusted to professionals. Today is the right time to start thinking about adapting to the changes and digitalization of Human Resources, and through this paper we will try to point out these changes necessary for efficient management of human resources.
