The Role of Rural Tourism in Strengthening the Sustainability of Rural Areas: The Case of Zlakusa Village
Get PDFThe strategic planning of rural development is focused on both economic growth and sustainable development. Sustainable rural development is essential for conserving and improving resources, while economic growth contributes to a better standard of living. The aim of the research is to determine, using the participatory rural appraisal (PRA) methodology on the example of the village of Zlakusa, the economic activities developed in the village, the importance of rural tourism, and the scope of sustainable development taken into account in rural development. The results of the research show that the success of the rural community depends on: diversification of economic activities, which is accompanied by cohesion of the population through association and organization; organized activities aimed at local or republican authorities; activation of human and social capital; and initiating activities involving marginalized groups. Educating the population outside formal education improves the sustainable and economic development of the village and enables rural tourism to become an important part of economic activities and a channel for the commercialization of natural and cultural contents
The ‘new normal’ in migration management in Serbia in times of the COVID-19 crisis
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic has had severe consequences for the large-scale movement of populations within and across borders. Moreover, the crisis has had serious impacts on origin, transit and destination countries, as well as on migrant workers and their families. This paper aims to enhance the understanding of migration contexts in times of crises, as well as migrant-specific vulnerabilities, including the characteristics of stranded migrants in Serbia. Two phenomena have interacted to influence the shape and intensity of mobility in the country during the pandemic: that of citizens returning from abroad in the wake of the economic downturn and changing labour markets, and that of irregular migrants and asylum seekers stranded in transit along the Western Balkan Migration Route. An emphasis is placed on the challenges faced by migrants, as well as those faced by the country itself in terms of migration governance and management in times of crisis, questioning the existence of barriers to access to support. Despite the fact that these different groups of migrants will experience crises differently, it is important to explore the capacity of the country to assist them, both while in their country of origin and while in transit
Uzroci nastanka i mere ublažavanja poplava u opštini Krupanj
Get PDFCilj rada je prikazati potencijal pojava poplava u opštini Krupanj kao posledica prirodnih i antropogenih faktora. U Krupnju prirodni faktori koji doprinose pojavi poplava su uslovi podloge, reljef, planinski potoci bujičnog karaktera i klimatske karakteristike, dok su antropogeni faktori nelegalna, nekontrolisana i prekomerna seča šuma, neadekvatno korišćenje poljoprivrednih površina, stočarstvo i eksploatacija nalazišta rudnih bogatstava. Navedeni antropogeni uticaji pospešuju eroziju i čine da se stvaraju bujični tokovi koji u mesecima sa većom količinom padavina
ili kada se topi sneg dovode do poplava i pojave klizišta. U radu je izvršena analiza režima proticaja na hidrološkoj mernoj stanici Zavlaka na reci Jadar, a rezultati analize prikazani su grafikonima: prosečni sezonski proticaji, srednji godišnji proticaji, srednji mesečni proticaji, srednji maksimalni mesečni proticaji, standardizovano odstupanje srednjih godišnjih proticaja, odstupanje minimalnih i maksimalnih proticaja od srednjih. Na kartama su predstavljene količine sadržaja peska i silta u zemljištu, kao i način korišćenja zemljišta sa akcentom na deforestaciji kao najvećeg uzročnika erozivnih procesa u Opštini. U radu je naveden i primer ekstremnih majskih poplava 2014. godine koje su odnele ljudske živote, ugrozile životnu sredinu Opštine, izmenile predeo, nanele velike materijalne štete i uzrokovale uginuće životinja. Kako bi se sprečile posledice poplava rad obuhvata i definisanje postupanja u vanrednim situacijama, preventivne mere,

Paris agreement as instrument in the fight against climate change on a global level, and in the Republic of Serbia
No full textThe paper analyses anthropogenic influences which instigate climate change, along with consequences this process will cause on a global lev-el, as well as in the Republic of Serbia. To lessen anthropogenic factors which lead to climate change, experts organized conventions, agree ments and protocols which often did not produce adequate results, how-ever, they are regarded as the precursor of the Paris Agreement. The goal of this paper is to present potential methods of opposing climate change using mechanisms of international law, particularly the Paris Agree-ment. The research encompasses the origin and basic provisions of the Paris Agreement. Current climate conditions have been analysed, sugges-tions for mitigating effects of climate change in the Republic of Serbia, as well as on the global level have been presented.Urednik: Milica Pavkov Hrvojevi
Childbirth postponement and age-relatetd infertility in Serbia
Get PDFChildbirth postponement has been a widely discussed topic since the 1990s, and was pushed to the top of the demographic agenda with the emergence of the Second Demographic Transition (SDT) paradigm. Mechanisms of childbirth postponement mostly explained by economists or sociologists were understood as rational-based decisions of individuals (or couples) trying to cope with the requirements of modern society. These mechanisms explained by income and consumption rationale (Becker, Modigliani), or by liberal and postmodern values (Van de Kaa, Lestheage), barely mention the physiological limitations of the individual choice. These limitations given by the human species reproductive span, with no exception, affect everyone trying to make an optimal reproductive choice. There are two main effects of fertility postponement on births and fertility rates. The first effect arises when couples postpone childbearing to a later age during a certain period and fewer births take place than in the absence of such postponement – the ‘tempo effect’. The second is a negative effect of fertility postponement on completed fertility and increased childlessness attributable to the age-related increase in infertility. This second negative effect in particular is our field of interest. The decline in cohort fertility due to postponement has been mostly studied using data on age at first birth and subsequent fertility, as well as models of fecundity, pregnancy loss and time to conception by age, which we will try to apply to the period data. Using period data, we will try to quantify the potential number of births that would occur in the absence of childbirth postponement in Serbia during the past two decades
Izostanak planske dokumentacije kao faktor komunalno-higijenskih problema na levoj obali Dunava u gradskom naselju Beograd
Get PDFKomunalna higijena ima za cilj uspostavljanje sistema upravljanja određenim prostorom i komunalnim delatnostima u funkciji stvaranja kvalitetnijih uslova za život pojedinaca. Ipak, izostanak planiranja komunalnih sadržaja kao posledica izostanka planske dokumentacije dovodi do problema koje je naknadno teško otkloniti (izgradnja kanalizacije, toplovoda, zelenih površina i sl.). Upravo prostor leve obale Dunava u Beogradu (analiziran prostor koji pripada gradskom naselju Beograd) je primer mnogih komunalno-higijenskih problema prouzrokovanih nedostatkom odgovarajuće komunalne infrastrukture, a najveći problemi su nedostatak kanalizacije i sistema za odvođenje viška vode, zatim zagađeni kanali, zagađenje vazduha iz individualnih ložišta, nedostatak zelenih površina, ugrožavanje priobalja (posebno Reva bare, a zatim i budućeg PIO „Forland leve obale Dunava u Beogradu”), problem parkiranja, buke, zagađenja zemljišta i dr. Predmet rada su komunalno-higijenski problemi stambenih kvartova na levoj obali Dunava u gradskom naselju Beograd i analiza uzročnih posledica nedostatka planske dokumentacije. Zadatak je utvrditi mere unapređenja stanja komunalno-higijenskih uslova kroz analizu planske dokumentacije i utvrđivanje trenutnog stanja terenskim istraživanjemUrednici: Dejan Filipović, Velimir Šećerov, Dejan S.

Uticaj rudarskog basena "Kolubara" na razvoj naselja u opštini Lazarevac
No full textRudarski basen Kolubara, kroz svoju primarnu ulogu snabdevanja termoelektrana za proizvodnju električne energije, predstavlja jedan od temelja privrednog razvoja Republike Srbije, sa posebnim naglaskom na opštinu Lazarevac na čijoj se teritoriji basen najvećim delom prostire. Višegodišnja dinamika širenja kopova i razvoja rudarske delatnosti uticala je na transformaciju geoprostora, kako u pozitivnom tako i u negativnom kontekstu. Osnovni cilj ovog rada jeste detaljno sagledavanje uticaja rudarskog basena „Kolubara“ na sveobuhvatni razvoj naselja na teritoriji opštine Lazarevac. Istraživanje je pokazalo da širenjem površinskih kopova dolazi do promene u demografskim, funkcionalnim i fizionomskim karakteristikama naselja, kao i do raseljavanja samih naselja ili njihovih pojedinih delova. U skladu sa tim, budući razvoj mora biti usmeren na organizaciju racionalnije mreže centara, koji će olakšati transformaciju okolnih naselja, uz marginalizaciju negativnih uticaja širenja ugljenokopa na homogenost i kompaktnost postojeće mreže naselja.Urednici: Živorad Gligorijević, Tadija Đuki

Evaluating the Attractiveness and Competitiveness of a Tourist Destinations (Atd) Balkan Mountain Centers
No full textModel for evaluating the attractiveness and competitiveness of a tourist destinations (ATD) is developed and applied to six competitive mountain destinations in the Balkans, which have not been the subject of similar research. Authors proposed a 15 indicators of ATD model, and classified them into two basic value groups: tourist and functional values. The model is based on survey research with focus on respondents -tourists, who are familiar with all destinations that are the subject of the survey. This study, in addition to the scientific contribution reflected in the presented indicators for assessing the attractiveness of mountain tourist destinations and the developed ATD model, also has a practical contribution. It is seen in the results, which should clearly indicate the attractiveness of the destination, their mutual competitiveness, as well as the segments to which the tourist destinations management should focus in the future when planning and creating a tourist offer, The results indicate differences and similarities among the analyzed tourist destinations, and could help define the development strategies for the destinations, The positioning of mountain tourist destinations in the same field of tourist attraction on the ATD Matrix, indicates that these destinations are competitive
Spatial Analysis of the Possible First Serbian Conurbation
No full textAfter the breakup of the former Republic of Yugoslavia, the number of inhabitants in newly formed state of Serbia has been in constant decrease. On the other hand, the number of urban areas has been growing. One of the main goals of former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was the development of all the areas, including the rural ones. In the '60s and the '70s, the land with special purpose was supposed to be of the utmost importance. Urban regions were to be better connected and enlarged. The main reason for it was the distribution of economic activities as well as the process of deagrarization which had already been in progress. In 1966, the first spatial plan of a special-purpose area, being the outset of an idea in a Socialist country, was in fact the proposition of the first Yugoslav conurbation. The long forgotten project was about to be reinforced in 1996, when thirty years later the country was in a transitional period, heading towards market capitalization. After the final breakup of Yuoslavia, there was a growing need for preservation of the urban areas and large trade centers, along with the necessity of better communication among municipalities. The ambitious project in question called "Morava city", has never been brought to life. The main purpose of this manuscript is to answer the question of the actual necessity of this potential conurbation by means of GIS methodology, qualitative and quantitative techniques, and demographic and sociological factors. Accordingly, by means of spatial analysis, the communist project is placed into post-communist environment. Finally, the manuscript focuses on the relationship between rural and urban areas, traffic connectivity, geographical position, and most importantly on the sustainability and profitability of the first Serbian conurbation
