“Signs by the Roadside” On the Road to Just Green Transitions in Serbia
No full textSerbia's commitment to just green transition (JGT) is clear and confirmed by ratifying a series of international declarations, mostly followed by the adoption of relevant laws, strategic documents and action plans at the national level. However, it is evident that the implementation faces a number of challenges, often leaving Serbia lagging behind at the European, and in some cases even regional level. This chapter is dedicated to shedding light on the reasons behind the gap between Serbia's formal commitment to the goals of a just green transition and the real changes that should result from it. The research focuses on determining how far Serbia has progressed in defining specific measures to achieve the goals of a just green transition, as well as the reasons for the lack of implementation of already defined measures. As it is noticeable that each of the existing policies is strictly sectoral, dedicated to one of the pillars of the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans (or some even more specific issues), we have also tried to examine the degree of their coordination and focus towards achieving JGT goals. The results of the conducted analysis gave us the opportunity to draw conclusions about key obstacles on the road to just green transition in Serbia, as well as proposals for overcoming them.Editors: Erblin Berisha, John Moodie, Ledio Allkja, Marija Jefti

Mogućnost dostizanja ciljeva održivog razvoja u regionalnom razvoju pograničnih oblasti Srbije
No full textPogranične oblasti Srbije su oblasti istaknute prirodne lepote i zaštićenih zona, ali i demografski i privredno uglavnom slabije razvijeni delovi države. Problem ovog istraživanja se zasniva na polaznoj pretpostavci da je pogranična oblast Srbije slabije razvijena u odnosu na državni prosek. Pogranične oblasti Srbije se suočavaju sa različitim ograničenjima regionalnog razvoja, kao što su zagađena životna sredina, depopulacioni procesi, privredno zaostajanje u odnosu na republički prosek i uglavnom marginalna uloga kada su u pitanju investicije i razvoj preduzetništva. Iz tog razloga, predmet analize ovoga rada će biti izdvajanje preduslova koje je neophodno ispuniti, kako bi dostizanje svih ciljeva održivog razvoja bilo olakšano. U savremeno doba, planiranje razvoja regija vrši se primenom koncepta održivog razvoja čije su tri ključne komponente: ekološka, ekonomska i socijalna. Cilj ovog rada je predočavanje značaja i mogućnosti primene koncepta održivog razvoja u planiranju budućeg razvoja pograničnih oblasti Srbije. Zadatak rada je ukazivanje na značaj ovog koncepta u planiranju razvoja i revitalizacije slabije razvijenih pograničnih oblasti Srbije, kao i ocena mogućnosti i opravdanosti primene ciljeva održivog razvoja. Praktičan značaj ovog rada ogleda se u mogućnosti dostizanja ciljeva održivog razvoja u funkciji kreiranja strategija regionalnog razvoja. Rezultati ove studije će poslužiti kao baza za podsticanje regionalnog razvoja i smanjivanje regionalnih dispariteta na nacionalnom nivou
The effect of hot days on birth rates in Serbia – regional aspect
No full textThe aim of this study is to examine the effects of hot days on birth rates in Serbia and its districts. This is the first study to address this issue in Serbia, with a regional focus stemming from the pronounced spatial heterogeneity in birth rates and climate conditions. The research utilizes data from Demographic Statistics on nearly 382000 live births across 25 Serbian districts during the period 2015–2020, alongside data from the Digital Atlas of Serbia on daily average temperatures in the same timeframe. Inspired by methodologies from previous studies in other regions, this approach allows for an in-depth analysis of the impact of variations in daily air temperature distribution — particularly hot days with an average temperature exceeding 25°C — on birth rates up to 12 months post-exposure. The results reveal that hot days (>25°C) lead to a significant decline in birth rates approximately 9–10 months later. This is followed by a partial rebound, with a slight increase in birth rates observed in the 11th and 12th months. Regional variations within Serbia highlight differing levels of population adaptability, reflecting the diverse socio-climatic resilience across districts. These findings have important implications for developing locally tailored policies and responses to climate change. Enhancing population adaptability at the regional level may serve as a mechanism to mitigate the fertility impacts associated with climate change.Editor: Natalija Miri

Development and evaluation approach of soil quality in agricultural soils: Integrated system for a more reliable delineation of homogeneous management zones
No full textSoil quality (SQ) is of fundamental importance for sustainable agriculture, environmental conservation and food security. This study presents an integrative methodological framework for the assessment of SQ by combining indicators of soil properties with environmental variables. In a case study in Mali Zvornik, Serbia, agricultural SQ was assessed using total data set (TDS) and minimum data set (MDS) methods, incorporating additive and weighted Soil Quality Indices (SQIa and SQIw). Spatial variations in SQ were analysed using Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) and Boosted Regression Trees (BRT), while Homogeneous Management Zones (HMZ) were identified using fuzzy c-means clustering. The study analysed 18 soil indicators and selected nine key indicators for the MDS through Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Modeling was performed with 12 environmental variables, and the BRT model showed high predictive accuracy by achieving robust R2 values and low prediction errors (MAE and RMSE). Topographic and vegetation factors, especially elevation and NDVI, were identified as the most influential variables affecting spatial SQI patterns. Three distinct HMZs were delineated: a high quality zone suitable for intensive agriculture, a moderately productive zone requiring targeted interventions, and a low quality zone affected by erosion and nutrient deficiency. This research highlights the effectiveness of integrating advanced modeling techniques with environmental data for accurate SQ assessment. The results provide valuable insights for agroecological planning that supports sustainable land management and rural development.Supplementary material: [https://gery.gef.bg.ac.rs/handle/123456789/2001
The Natural and Cultural-Historical Heritage of the Danube in Serbia: Tourist Evaluation and the Importance of Its Cartographic Visualization
No full textThe Danube basin in Serbia boasts a unique array of natural resourc-es, making it a vital part of the nation’s heritage. Its inherent attractiveness sig-nificantly enhances Serbia’s tourism offerings. Throughout history, the Danube’snatural and strategic importance has also shaped the rich and diverse cultural andhistorical heritage of this region. The natural values of the Danube basin includetwo national parks – Fruška Gora and Đerdap; five special nature reserves – Gorn-je Podunavlje, Karađorđevo, Koviljsko–Petrovaradinski Rit (Kovilj–Petrovaradinmarsh), Titelski Breg (Titel plateau), and Deliblatska Peščara (Deliblato sands); fivespas in the immediate vicinity of the Danube – Bezdan, Junaković, Novi Sad, Vrd-nik, and Slankamen; numerous picturesque banks, gorges, caves, pits, overgrowthsand other landscape units characterised by a wealth of flora and fauna. The cul-tural and historical heritage of the Danube region includes: seven fortresses –Bač, Petrovaradin, Belgrade, Smederevo, Ram, Golubac, and Fetislam; numerous ar-chaeological sites, the most important of which are: Vinča, Starčevo, Viminacium,Lepenski vir, Tabula Traiana (Trajan’s Table), Diana, and Trajan’s Bridge; certainurban areas, especially Belgrade and Novi Sad, and other riverside cities along theDanube. There are also castles of cultural and historical importance in the imme-diate vicinity, as well as farms and ethno-settlements with tourist attractions. The study of this area requires adequate information support and a multidisciplinary approach to the research, planning, and implementation of activities related to theevaluation of the natural and cultural-historical heritage of the Danube region.In this context, cartographic visualization holds significant scientific, informative,and cognitive value. The physiognomy of the Danube region has been studied anddepicted on maps since ancient times. Maps represent a document of cultural andhistorical heritage and possess special value for its preservation. Modern require-ments aim to increase the information capacity of maps. Digital technology makesit possible to transform the content of primary maps into multivariate representa-tions of geospatial data by incorporating new types of data in order to use them fordifferent needs. The cartographic visualization of numerous and diverse naturaland anthropogenic values makes it possible to promote the development of touristroutes in the Danube region through a modern, attractive, virtual presentation ofvarious contents of natural, cultural, and historical heritage.Editor: Bogdan Trifunovi
GIS i moderne tehnologije u adaptaciji i ublažavanju klimatskih promena s fokusom na rečne sisteme Severne Afrike
No full textGeografski informacioni sistemi (GIS) i moderne tehnologije postali su ključni alati u rešavanju složenih izazova koje donose klimatske promene, posebno u regionima koji zavise od vode, poput Severne Afrike. Slivovi reka Nil, Medžerda i Dra od suštinskog su značaja za održavanje poljoprivrede, snabdevanje pijaćom vodom i ekonomske aktivnosti u ovom pretežno sušnom regionu. Ova studija ispituje primenu GIS-a, daljinske detekcije i digitalnog modelovanja u unapređenju strategija adaptacije i ublažavanja klimatskih promena, sa posebnim osvrtom na interakcije između ljudskih aktivnosti, vodenih sistema i klimatske varijabilnosti.Kroz prostorne i vremenske analize, istraživanje identifi kuje ključne oblasti sa problemima u vodosnabdevanju, ranjivost poljoprivrede i pritiske populacije unutar tampon zona od 10, 20 i 50 km oko glavnih rečnih sistema. Integracijom podataka o gustini naseljenosti, poljoprivrednim praksama i hidrološkoj varijabilnosti, GIS ukazuje na regione pod povećanim rizikom. Moderne tehnologije, poput satelitskih snimaka, mašinskog učenja i modela višekriterijumske analize odluka (MCDA), poboljšavaju preciznost u mapiranju i prognoziranju rizika povezanih sa klimom.Rezultati naglašavaju ulogu GIS-a u identifi kaciji područja podložnih poplavama, praćenju održivosti poljoprivrede i optimizaciji potencijala obnovljive energije. Posebna pažnja posvećena je regionima sa nedostatkom vode, gde su rečni sistemi opterećeni prekomernim crpljenjem, zagađenjem i hidrološkim promenama izazvanim klimatskim uslovima. Predložene intervencije uključuju napredne sisteme za navodnjavanje, prikupljanje kišnice i rešenja zasnovana na obnovljivoj energiji. Studija takođe ističe potrebu za prekograničnom saradnjom među zemljama Severne Afrike kako bi se osiguralo pravedno i održivo upravljanje vodnim resursima. Ovo istraživanje podržava globalne napore u adaptaciji na klimatske promene, pokazujući kako GIS i daljinska detekcija unapređuju otpornost, upravljanje resursima i održivi razvoj u Severnoj Africi i šire.Urednici: Dejan Filipović, Velimir Šećerov, Dušan Ristić, Marina Ili
