    Municipality of Negotin is an area of rural character, one of the most agrarian in Serbia. Rural development, as one of the areas of regional policy is a key instrument for the restructuring of the agricultural sector, has a task to focus and strategic use of the potential of attractive tourist village. At the time of increasing urbanization and globalization, specific indigenous settlements accurately reflect the spirit and tradition of ancient times are gaining a certain cultural, economic, and tourist importance. Municipality of Negotin has good conditions for the development of rural tourism thanks to its geographical position, varied landscape (vari­ous forms of recreation), gastronomy, folklore, rich cultural heritage. Rural tourism should contribute to the preservation of the rural environment and cultural heritage, but also economically motivate the local population to remain in the countryside. This form of tourism could contribute significantly to the protection of nature, but also to provide resources for the survival and development of the village.Negotinska opština je prostor ruralnog karaktera, jedna od najagrarnijih u Srbiji. Ruralni razvoj, kao jedna od oblasti regionalne politike, klјučan je instrument za restrukturiranje polјoprivrednog sektora tj. ima zadatak da usmeri i strateški iskoristi potencijal turistički atraktivnih sela. U momentu pojačane urbanizacije i globalizacije, specifična autohtona naselјa koja verno odslikavaju duh i tradiciju prošlih vremena sve više dobijaju određeni kulturni, privredni, ali i turistički značaj. Negotinska opština ima dobre uslove za razvoj ruralnog turizma zahvalјujući geografskom položaju, raznolikom pejzažu (raznovrsni vidovi rekreacija), gastronomiji, folkloru, bogatoj kulturnoj baštini. Ruralni turizam trebalo bi da doprinese očuvanju seoske sredine i kulturne baštine, ali i ekonomski motiviše lokalno stanovništvo da ostane na selu. Ovaj vid turizma mogao bi značajno da doprinese zaštiti prirode, ali i da omogući sredstva za opstanak i razvoj sela

    GIS-Fuzzy DEMATEL MCDA model for the evaluation of the sites for ecotourism development: A case study of "Dunavski kljuc" region, Serbia

    In order to reduce adverse effects on the environment caused by conventional (mass) Tourism, the importance of ecotourism is becoming increasingly highlighted as this form of tourism contributes to the environmental protection and sustainable development of an area. The main objective of this study is the development of a reliable model for the identification of zone suitability for sustainable development of ecotourism, which will represent a significant support for planners in strategy development and management of ecotourism. The proposed model is based on the combined application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) using Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (FDEMATEL) method in order to estimate and map the suitability classes of ecotourism potentials in the study area of "Dunavski kljuc" region (Serbia). The model has been developed by using 16 criteria grouped in 4 clusters. The application FDEMATEL method has been used for expert calculation of the weight for all clusters/criteria in relation to their impact on the development of ecotourism. The final suitability map of ecotourism development has been obtained by applying Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) and it has been designed in 4 suitability classes as: Highly Suitable (51), Moderately Suitable (S2), Marginally Suitable (S3), and Not Suitable (N). The applied sensitivity analysis, by changing the weight of clusters, indicates that the applied model is stable and capable of being applied for zoning ecotourism sites. The proposed method and the results of this study can be used as a policy of sustainable development at all levels of public administration. This approach may also be useful when identifying ecotourism sites and types of ecotourism uses in the areas with similar geographical conditions

    The impact of infrastructure planning in spatial plans on carrying capacity assessment in mountain tourist areas

    This paper analyses the impact of infrastructure planning on carrying capacity assessment in mountain tourist areas, aiming to define the procedure, as well as to present an algorithm that could enable the application of carrying capacity methods in the process of developing planning documents. This would, in addition to the common practice of the hitherto used research methods, pay appropriate attention to the impact of infrastructure systems. In this regard, the paper first presents the basic theoretical and methodological problems of carrying capacity assessment, and then it considers the basic characteristics of evaluating carrying capacity in mountain tourist areas. Following this is a review of the basic principles of infrastructure planning, which gives practical recommendations for the infrastructure planning process in mountain tourist areas, with a particular emphasis on the impact of infrastructure on carrying capacity assessment. The example of Tara National Park, a mountainous area in Serbia which served as a place for verification of this procedure, shows the need to review the current planning solutions defined for this protected area

    With this work we want to affirm geoecological evaluation, planning and landscape management. Geoecological evaluation of the Belgrade region, for the purpose of rest and recreation, was performed with quantitative method of diversity (V-Wert Methode) of Hans Kiemstedt. The method is suitable for the determination of potential locations suitable for rest and recreation, with various forms of relief (edge of forest and water, then climate and relief). Due to the surface of the evaluated area and the amount of data that had to be processed, the benefits of geographic information systems are expressed. According to this geoecological analysis favorable and very favorable areas for recreation are tied exclusively to the river flows of Sava and Danube. Each of the four raster units, which are marked as very favorable for recreation, include items of river islands (Baric river island, River island Ciganlija, River island Grocanska, Batkov river island and River island Brestovacka), which have high values of the length of the edges of the water

    Циљ овог рада је да укаже на неопходност заштите животне средине у функцији заштите здравља становништва. Животна средина и здравље становништва су уско повезани и не смеју се посматрати одвојено, јер је доказана повратна спрега између наведена два елемента. Свака активност у животној средини мора бити планирана и спроведена на начин да представља најмањи ризик по животну средину и здравље људи. Државни органи треба да обезбеђују интеграцију заштите и унапређивања животне средине у све секторске политике. Наведено треба спроводити усаглашавањем планова и програма, применом прописа кроз систем дозвола, техничким и другим стандардима и нормативима, финансирањем, подстицајним и другим мерама заштите животне средине

    Održivo korišćenje resursa lokalne sredine je moguće samo uz identifikaciju glavnih faktora njihove degradacije. Jedan od glavnih faktora degradacije celokupne životne sredine je erozija i transport nanosa. Rad se bavi procesom mehaničke vodne erozije u slivu Crnice sa stanovišta njegove prostorno-vremenske varijabilnosti. Empirijski metod Gavrilović, u kombinaciji sa savremenim programskim paketima i teledetekcionim metodama, omogućio je precizno utvrđivanje uticaja glavnih fizičko-geografskih faktora na proces erozije u slivu. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da je u periodu 1971-2011. godine došlo do smanjenja erozije za 13%. Sklop fizičko-geografskih i antropogenih faktora je doveo do specifične prostorne raspodele produkcije nanosa u slivu Crnice. Karte produkcije nanosa u slivu Crnice za 1971. i 2011. godinu, mogu biti osnova za rešavanje ključnih problema grada Paraćina i njegove okoline.Urednici: Dejan Filipović, Velimir Šećerov, Zoran Radosavljevi

    Parental allowance in Serbia – examining the world health organization recommendations

    No full text
    This paper is one of the results of the project Research of Demographic Phenomena in the Function of Public Policies in Serbia, and is treating fertility as one of the major concerns of the current population development in Serbia. The aim of the paper is to analyze fertility levels in Serbia beyond the four basic recommendations proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding childbearing, and to give suggestions on how parental allowance could be reformulated if the recommendations were adopted. Birth levels and demographic structures are analyzed using demographic methods. Many European countries, including Serbia, are implementing the population policy trying to increase fertility levels to the replacement level. The legislative framework within which the pronatalist measures are being implemented was defined 13 years ago, and did not include all four WHO recommendations. The first indications of the pronatalist measures failure have been visible during the past few years, consequently resulting in the need to evaluate their effects and redefine basic financial measures. Having compared two basic financial measures (parental leave and parental allowance), we believe that parental allowance is the key measure of the pronatalist policy, since it is realized on the basis of birth only (parental leave is realized on the basis of employment)
