Comparative didactic and methodological analysis of the geography program for elementary school in Serbia and North Macedonia
No full textThe beginning of the 21st century is characterised by a digital society in which it is no longer sufficient for an individual to be able to read, write and calculate in order to be considered educated. The development of new technologies, especially information and communication technologies, has changed people's lives dramatically. They have also had an impact on the education system. Pupils are expected to have computer and media skills, the ability to learn independently, think critically, solve problems, work in a team, be creative and take initiative. The didactic-methodical analysis of the Geog-raphy Program for elementary schools will determine the extent to which it is possible to contribute to the development of the aforementioned skills in pupils. Geography programs are designed in a special way in all countries of the world. The aim of the paper is to analyze the Geography Program for primary schools in Serbia and North Macedonia in order to observe their similarities and differences. The results of the research indicate a significant similarity in the planned learning outcomes in both countries, while deviations are observed in the order of the studied teaching topics by class.Editor: Blagoja Markosk
Регионално планирање - традиционални vs савремени концепт: пример региона Ванкувер
No full textRegional planning is exposed to various criticisms today due to its unclear position in the federal planning system, as well as incoherent methodology among other inconsistencies. Nonetheless, despite those critics, the importance and role of regional plans and/or strategies is indisputable, primarily in creating a base for directing development processes. Nowadays, regional planning is going through significant methodological changes as a reflection of overall changes in the planning doctrine, new geopolitical circumstances, and the effect of the "acceleration" of time. The modified perception of space as a global and dynamic environment, and the intensive application of advanced technologies in the planning process, cause the need for refitted methods and techniques in regional planning. Those updates will revive regional planning and make the decision-making process more transparent. This paper will focus on new technologies that are in application in some countries with advanced regional planning. The province of British Columbia in Canada is one of those countries. The regional district of Vancouver will be used to analyze the differences between traditional and contemporary concepts in regional planning through the application of advanced models in policy making.Без обзира на разноврсне и разнородне критике којима је регионално планирање изложено, како због нејасне позиције у систему планирања, тако и због неконзистентне методологије и других недоследности које му се приписују, значај и улога регио-налних планова и/или стратегија је неспорна, пре свега у контексту стварања базе за усмеравање развојних процеса. У савременим условима, регионално планирање у разви-јенијим планским системима, са дужом традицијом постојања, пролази кроз значајне методолошке промене, као рефлексија глобалних промена, нових геополитичких дешавања и присутног “убрзавања” времена. Са променом перцепције простора и интензивним развојем технологије намеће се потреба за увођењем нових метода и техника које ће осавременити процес регионалног планирања и олакшати посао доносиоцима одлука. Из широке понуде модерних “алата” који у ову сврху могу бити корисни, биће издвојени они чија је примена већ реалност у државама/провинцијама у којима је систем планирања развијенији, а међу које се са сигурношћу може сврстати и Британска Колумбија у Канади. Стога ће, поред истицања кључних разлика између традиционалног и савременог регионалног планирања, кроз призму новина којима је обогаћена пракса регионалног планирања Ванкувера бити дат кратак осврт на најновије моделе који се користе у регионалном палнирању
Izvori podataka o unutrašnjim migracijama u Srbiji sa aspekta prostornog planiranja
No full textProstorni obrasci unutrašnjih migracija prate opšte društveno-ekonomske procese, te sa aspekta prostornog planiranja predstavljaju važan pokazatelj difuzije razvoja unutar državne teritorije. Istovremeno, unutrašnji migracioni tokovi predstavljaju povratnu spregu za povećanje disproporcija razvoja. Imajući u vidu da je jedan od osnovnih strateških ciljeva prostornog razvoja Srbije na svim teritorijalnim nivoima (nacionalnom, regionalnom i lokalnom) uravnoteženiji raspored stanovništva, bolji uvid u obim i tokove unutrašnjih migracija može dati značajan doprinos prostornom planiranju. U tom kontekstu, istraživanje ima za cilj da identifikuje različite izvore statističkih podataka i moguća metodološka rešenja za sprovođenje analize unutrašnjih migracija u Srbiji. Testirana su tri moguća metodološka rešenja, na osnovu raspoloživih podataka iz zvaničnih statističkih izvora. U pitanju su podaci Republičkog zavoda za statistiku, koji obuhvataju: Popis stanovništva (migracione karakteristike stanovništva), statistiku unutrašnjih migracija (podaci o imigraciji i emigraciji na osnovu promene prebivališta) i statistiku rođenja i smrti (u kombinaciji sa podacima popisa stanovništva). Rezultati istraživanja daju informacije o prednostima i nedostacima korišćenja gore navedenih izvora podataka, npr. sadržaj podataka, dostupnost, nivo detaljnosti, itd. Pored toga, komparativna analiza sprovedena korišćenjem sva tri izvora podataka je na konkretnim primerima otkrila moguća odstupanja u rezultatima
Socio-geographic aspects of return migration in the Republic of Serbia
No full textПовратне миграције на почетку 21. века представљају све значајнији предмет научних и јавних дебата. Повећан обим и интензитет повратних миграционих токова у односу на претходне периоде, утицали су на потребу систематичнијег разумевањем карактеристика овог процеса, укључујући и процес реинтеграције као његовог интегралног сегмента. С обзиром на то да се повратне миграције најчешће одвијају на релацији развијене земље – земље у развоју, слабије развијене државе су препознале повратне мигранте као значајан ресурс свеукупног развоја. У Републици Србији, повратне миграције се издвајају као један од најинтензивнијих миграционих процеса последњих деценија. Циљ докторске дисертације је да кроз призму друштвено-географских аспеката (просторни, демографски, социјални, економски) сагледа одлике повратних миграција у Србији. У фокусу анализе је и процес реинтеграције и сагледавање улоге повратних миграција у функцији развоја. Истраживање се базира на анализи и обради податка пописне статистике и резултата теренског истраживања спроведеног на простору четири јединице локалних самоуправа у Србији – Град Лесковац, Град Зајечар, Град Ужице и Град Зрењанин. Резултати су показали да се повратни мигранти враћају првенствено у развијене делове земље, и чешће у градска насеља. У категорији повратника доминирају лица која економски нису активна. Утврђено је да карактеристике реинтеграције зависе од различитих социо-демографских обележја, миграционог искуства повратника, степена развоја локалних самоуправа и типа насеља у која се враћају. Развојни потенцијал повратника везан је за индивидуалне компетенције, афинитете, жеље и могућности да допринесу развоју, као и за перцепције и реално стање на тржишту.Return migration at the beginning of the 21st century is an increasingly important topic in academic and public debates. The increased volume and intensity of return migration flows compared to previous periods has led to the need for a more systematic understanding of the characteristics of this process, including the process of reintegration as an integral part of it. As return migration mostly takes place between developed and developing countries, less developed countries have recognised return migrants as an important resource for overall development. In the Republic of Serbia, return migration represents one of the most intensive migration processes in recent decades. The aim of the dissertation is to analyse the characteristics of socio-geographical aspects (spatial, demographic, social, economic) of return migration in Serbia. The focus of the analysis is also on reintegration and the role of return migration in the development process. The research is based on the analysis and processing of census data and the results of field research conducted on the territory of four local self-government units in Serbia - City of Leskovac, City of Zaječar, City of Užice and City of Zrenjanin. It was found that returnees mainly return to the developed parts of the country, more often to urban settlements. Return migrants in Serbia predominantly are not economically active. It has been found that the characteristics of reintegration depend on various socio-demographic characteristics, the migration experience of returnees, the level of development of local self-governments and the type of settlements to which they return. The development potential of returnees is related to their individual competences, affinities, desires and opportunities to contribute to development, as well as their perceptions and the actual situation on the market
Migranti na sceni i iza scene: svet umetnosti i migrantska kriza
No full textCilj rada je da utvrdi dominantan pristup migrantskoj tematici u Srbiji,
u svetlu takozvane migrantske krize, kada je reč o svetu umetnosti, odnosno sferi
kulture u užem smislu. U prvom delu rada analiziraju se izložbe i povezani doga
đaji iz polja umetnosti održani od 2014. do 2022. godine. Cilj analize je bio da se
utvrdi dominantni pristup o migrantima tokom ovog perioda u vizuelnoj umet
nosti, kao i da se uoče komunikacijski alati korišćeni u izložbama. Važno je nagla
siti da, iako se većina izložbi bavi migrantima sa Bliskog istoka koji su se našli na
balkanskoj ruti, iz analize nisu izostavljene ni izložbe koje se bave lokalnim i re
gionalnim kontekstom – emigracijom ljudi iz bivše, ratom zahvaćene Jugoslavije.
Drugi deo rada posvećen je dominantnom pristupu migrantskoj tematici u sferi
dramskih umetnosti. I pored toga što je primetan porast interesovanja dramskih
stvaralaca (u Srbiji i regionu) za to kako se svakodnevica odigrava, posebno kada
su u pitanju one umetničke forme sklone narativizaciji (poput literarnog teatra ili
filma), mali je broj dramskih dela u okviru kojih se direktno razmatra problema
tika koja se tiče života nasilno raseljenih lica. Predmet analize, stoga, u ovom delu
rada biće primeri izabrani prvenstveno iz domena pozorišne umetnosti, i to usled
afektivne ekonomije što odgovara doživljaju teatarskih inscenacija. U zaključku će
se sumirati dominantni narativi o migrantima u okviru sveta umetnosti i kako se
migrant „iza scene“ pojavljuje „na sceni“.Urednik: Nemanja Zvije
The Impact of Tourism and Urban Growth on the Sustainable Development in the Kopaonik National Park
No full textThis paper investigates the problem of rapid urbanization and uncontrolled construction on Kopaonik mountain in Serbia. Kopaonik is known for its natural beauty and winter sports attractions, but in recent years, it has experienced a significant increase in urbanization. The paper analyzes the current state of urbanization in Kopaonik, including the increase in the number of building permits, the number of built buildings, and the increase in tourist capacities. Environmental challenges and infrastructural problems arising from rapid urbanization are also discussed. This paper also explores the dilemmas between the economic benefit brought by tourism and the need to preserve nature. The author investigates the views and concerns of citizens regarding urbanization through a survey. The survey results provide insight into different perspectives and dilemmas regarding this topic. Also, the role of the Kopaonik National Park and local authorities in controlling urbanization is considered. Kopaonik National Park emphasizes the need to stop further construction to preserve nature, while the local self-government of the municipality of Raška advocates controlled urbanization that will support the region's economic development. Through this analysis, the paper explores the key aspects of urbanization in Kopaonik, providing insight into the complexity of the challenges and the need for a balance between economic benefit and nature conservation in this beautiful mountain area
Determination of changes in the total amount of precipitation using the Mann-Kendall trend test in Central Serbia for the period from 1949 to 2018
No full textThis study presents the trend analysis for a specific category of variables, namely the average annual precipitation. The geospatial distribution of the obtained results in Central Serbia is visualized using Geographic Information System (GIS) numerical analysis. The primary objective of this study is to identify potential changes in the trends of average annual precipitation within the observed area. Methodologically, the Mann-Kendall trend test, trend equation, and trend magnitude were employed for trend analysis. The data used for the analysis were sourced from the Meteorological Yearbooks of the Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia, encompassing a total of 24 meteorological stations and spanning the period from 1949 to 2018. Based on the obtained results, statistically significant positive trends were observed in 17 time series, favoring the alternative hypothesis. Conversely, a decline in precipitation was noted in the remaining 7 time series. Among the time series, the largest increases in the total amount of precipitation over the past 69 years were recorded ont he area of the Dinaric Mountains. Conversely, the lowest increase in average precipitation was observed in the central part od the country.Furthermore, the time series with the greatest decrease in average annual precipitation was recorded ont he southeastern part of the country. In order to effectively address water-related challenges associated with precipitation fluctuations, it is essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of the shifting trends in precipitation over the region of Central Serbia
Comparative Geomorphometric Analysis of Drainage Basin Using AW3D30 Model in ArcGIS and QGIS Environment: Case Study of the Ibar River Drainage Basin, Montenegro
Get PDFGeomorphometric analysis provides crucial insights into the hydrological characteristics by delineating the land-surface features of a drainage basin. The study focused on analyzing the geomorphometric parameters of the Montenegrin segment of the Ibar River drainage basin using the ALOS Global Digital Surface Model 30 m (AW3D30). Geomorphometric parameters, covering linear and areal parameters, were computed using standard mathematical formulas in LibreOffice Calc software and hydrology tools in commercial GIS software ArcGIS, as well as open-source software QGIS with SAGA GIS modules. Results reveal a dendritic pattern in the stream network, with an inverse relationship between stream length and order, and an elevated bifurcation ratio indicating heightened vulnerability to flooding, influenced by geological, geomorphological, and climatic factors. Furthermore, examination of diverse areal morphometric parameters, such as drainage density, stream frequency, form factor, circularity ratio, and elongation ratio, unveils the hydrological dynamics of the Ibar basin. This characterization illustrates the region as possessing high permeability and dense vegetation cover, suggesting vulnerability to erosion and consequent effects on water and sediment discharge. Additionally, this study underscores the significance of user-defined parameters in geomorphometric modeling, particularly in selecting algorithms within analysis software, which significantly impact drainage basin parameters
Water transportation planning in connection with extreme weather conditions; case study – Port of Novi Sad, Serbia
Get PDFThe Danube has a length of 588 km in the Republic of Serbia. The water transport on this river is underused. The hazardous events have a great impact on the traffic on this river, and the understanding of these events is of great importance. This study focuses on hazardous events on the Danube with the main focus on the port of Novi. The hazardous events used in this study are extreme air temperatures, devastating winds, drought, and heavy precipitation. The hazardous events were represented using geographic information systems (GIS), geostatistics, and numerical methods. The potential of the river transport network and the port capacity were analyzed and compared with the hazardous events of the last 30 years. The results showed that three areas of the port are of great importance for port security, and two areas are extremely affected by hazardous events. The distance of the port of Novi Sad from heavy precipitation events is 6.8 km in the southwestern direction. The periods of extremely low precipitation (climatic drought) were in 1994, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2019, and 2021. Extreme average maximum temperatures were in 1995, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2015, and 2019. On the other hand, minimum average temperatures were in 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2017, and 2018, and the strongest winds were in 1995, 1998, 2003, 2009, 2012, and 2014. The methods and techniques of GIS, used in this research, have confirmed new potential geographical positions of the port that can be better adapted to future climate changes. Another main objective of this research is to recommend better spatial planning and construction of new green corridors
