Some results are obtained on finite unions ofD-spaces. It is proved that if a space is the union of finitely many locally compact Dsubspaces, then it is aD-space. It follows that a space is aD-space if it is the union of finitely many locally compact submetacompact subspaces. And a space is a D-space if it is the union of a D-subspace with a locally compact D-subspace. This partially answers on...
