Residential preferences analysis in the context of reurbanisation in Belgrade

Book 86

ISBN 978-86-80029-60-3

Year of publishing: 2013
Authors: Jovana Todorić
Editor: Darko Vuković

Over the past twenty-odd years, the transformation of Belgrade’s social
and residential space has been determined by numerous factors. These include
negative trends of change in the demographic and social structure (depopulation,
population aging, emigration, a decline in living standards, etc.), economic,
political and market factors, the privatization of the housing stock, as well as the
intensive residential development in the urban and peri-urban zones. This study
is focused on socio-economic, demographic and socio-psychological
determinants of change in Belgrade’s city core (central zone). Due to immigration into this zone, through the process of re-urbanization, significant,
mostly qualitative changes occur within the neighborhood. In this study, the
re-urbanization process is observed from the perspective of the residential
mobility of an individual or a household, their assessment of residential space,
way of life, decision making, personal attitudes, and residential preferences.

Ecological tourism in protected natural assets in Banat

Book 81

ISBN 978-86-80029-51-1

Year of publishing: 2010
Authors: Jovana Brankov
Editor: Željko Bjeljac

Areas with unique ecologic, landscape and aesthetic values, as well as authentic ecosystems and undisturbed nature were formed in Banat thanks to its specific natural conditions. In order to preserve this state, the protection of these areas has been initiated. They were classified in different categories of protected natural assets and a protector was assigned to them. Recently, these objects have become extremely interesting to tourists, considering the fact that the areas with protected natural characteristics have covered less and less territory during intensive urbanization and industrialization, and tourism is an activity based on exactly these preserved natural values.
Protected natural assets of Banat, as important elements of natural inheritance of Vojvodina and Serbia, have different tourist potentials. Some of them are familiar to a large number of tourists and they have certain tourist tradition (Special Nature Reserves: Vršačke planine, Delibatska peščara, and Stari Begej – Carska bara). On the other hand, there are some protected natural goods which are insufficiently presented to tourists and tourism in them is only in the initial phase of the development. Primary, we think of Special Nature Reserves Slano Kopovo and Pašnjaci velike droplje and Nature Park Ponjavica. It is emphasized that these objects do not have as many attractive motifs as the previously mentioned ones, but with proper organization and conception of good programs, certain activities could be realized. Natural monuments and Memorial Natural Monuments in Banat are the least familiar to tourists. The reason for this is partly because of insufficient interest of the authorities, responsible for the management of goods, and partly because of the true absence of attractive motifs in them.

Authors: Milena Panić
Editor: Željko Bjeljac

The hazardous waste management system is an organized approach of continuous direct and controls the same from the moment of its creation, collection, storage, treatment, and final disposal. It is characterized by extreme complexity, due to the very pronounced risk of his release and penetration into the environment, which directly affected all living organisms and environmental quality. Guidelines for sustainable management, regulating the responsibilities of all stakeholders mentioned system and prescribe for each phase individually. Generation of hazardous waste is a particularly problematic phase because of the complex organization of the system for monitoring the quantitative and qualitative variations within a general trend of the waste generated, and the establishment of effective mechanisms to control the generators themselves, especially when it comes to industrial plants, which bear great responsibility for future the fate of waste generated. As a logical continuation, after the generation of hazardous waste, usually lead to its temporary storage, which involves storing hazardous waste on its way to the facility for treatment and final disposal. Due to the accumulation of large quantities of hazardous waste in one place, this phase represents a major challenge in the sense of order to prevent possible accidents.
Accordingly, it is justified presented a regional approach to hazardous waste management in Serbia, which will initially dispose of its development with one facility for treatment and disposal at the national level and more central regional warehouses, which are determined in the districts with the greatest production of hazardous waste. This will directly influence the reduction of improper storage and disposal of hazardous waste, which is commonly present themselves of the factory generator and to stop the accumulation of hazardous waste generated at the national level, with no real possibilities for its solution.
