Dejan Doljak

Senior Research Associate

Dejan Doljak is a Senior Research Associate at the Geographical Institute “Jovan Cvijić” of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SASA) in the Department of Spatial Planning. His research focuses on geosciences, emphasizing spatial energy planning and environmental protection, particularly the spatial distribution of renewable energy systems. He uses geospatial analysis methods in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to understand spatial patterns, trends, and relationships. One of his most significant contributions to the field has been modeling the spatio-temporal distribution of wind and solar energy potential. His work also includes studying urban and rural transformation processes and environmental risk management in the context of sustainable spatial development. Research fields: spatial planning, renewable energy sources, environmental protection.
