The analysis and environmental protection measures in the municipality of Laktaši as a basis for sustainable development

The Municipality of Laktaši belongs to a group of developed municipalities of the Republic of Srpska. Its development, in addition to the favorable traffic-geographic position and large natural resources, is also determined by noticeable anthropogenic activities that often lead to pollution of the environment. The analysis and assessment of the existing state of environment in the Laktaši municipality represents the basis for its protection and improvement of quality as well as for planning the development of future activities in accordance with sustainable development. Different sources of pollution of the environment are recognized in this area, some of which have significant impacts on the immediate and wider environment. The state of the environment in the work is presented by individual elements (air, water, soil), and the problem of noise and waste is also presented. The article also lists protected natural resources, protection measures are proposed and environmental quality classification was carried out in order to determine the priorities in stopping further degradation of the studied area

Geospatial evaluation of belgrade for the purposes of determination of suitable locations for the construction of PV plants

The aim of this paper is to identify the most suitable locations for the construction of Solar Photovoltaic Plants (PVP) on the territory of the City of Belgrade (Republic of Serbia). The city is rich in natural resources and abundant in energy potential. The climatic and spatial characteristics favor the use of solar energy: the average annual solar radiation in Belgrade is 1446.8 kWh/m(2)/year, and the sunshine duration is around 2200 h/year. The analysis covered the area of 3240.7 km(2) (administrative area of Belgrade). Geospatial evaluation was based on three basic criteria: aspect, slope and land use. The Method of elimination in combination with modern methods in geospatial research (GIS) was applied. Based on the mentioned geospatial factors, thematic maps were made and later, their overlapping resulted in obtaining a synthesis Map of the suitability of the terrain for the construction of the PV plants. Of the total considered area, 13.68% were evaluated as suitable for the given purpose

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

Značaj planiranja i projektovanja lakog metroa za održivi razvoj gradova

Increase of population and activities in towns, among other things, leads to traffic and transport problems. Discrepancy between citizen's needs and existing economy and functionality of public traffic systems leads to traffic jam, but also to negative effects to environment. In that situation private vehicle is not the best solution, because it emits great number of pollutants in the environment. As a product of the technological improvement in rail industry there have been created light railway systems, as one of the most flexible form of public transport. This paper represents importance of light railway systems for urban development, its positive effects on environment, as plans and projects related with light railway systems introduction in Belgrade.Porast broja stanovnika i aktivnosti u gradovima, između ostalog, nosi sa sobom i niz problema u vezi sa prevozom putnika. Neusklađenost između potreba građana i postojeće operativnosti, ekonomičnosti i funkcionalnosti sistema gradskog prevoza dovodi do stvaranja gužvi u saobraćaju, ali i do negativnog dejstva na životnu sredinu. U takvoj situaciji privatno vozilo (automobil) nije najbolje rešenje, s obzirom na to da emituje veliki broj zagađivača u spoljašnju sredinu. Kao plod tehnološkog napretka železničke industrije, razvili su se laki šinski sistemi (laki metro), kao jedan od najfleksibilnijih oblika javnog prevoza. U radu će biti prikazan značaj uvođenja lakog metroa za urbani razvoj gradova, njegova pozitivna dejstva na životnu sredinu, kao i planska i projektantska dokumentacija koja se odnosi na uvođenje ove vrste transporta u gradsko tkivo Beograda

An evaluation of summer discomfort in Nis (Serbia) using humidex

The bioclimatic analysis of the central area of the city of Nis conducted in this paper is based on the use of the bioclimatic index Humidex, which represents subjective outdoor temperature that one feels in warm and humid environment. The purpose of this research is to observe the index change on a daily basis during the hottest part of the year (June, July, and August) over the period from 1998 to 2017. For the purposes of this analysis, hourly (7:00, 14:00), maximum and mean daily values of meteorological parameters (air temperature and relative humidity) were used, for the period of 20 years (1998-2017), which were measured at Nis weather station (43 degrees 19'N, 21 degrees 53'E, at an altitude of 202 meters). The findings indicate a gradual change in the bioclimatic characteristics of this area during this period, especially over the last decade. After 2007 there has been a decrease in the total number of the days described as "comfortable". However, there has been an increase in the index values in all the other heat stress categories characterized by a higher or lower degree of thermal discomfort. The years 1998, 2000, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2016, 2015, and 2017 stand out as adverse years

Sistem upravljanja otpadom kao najznačajniji ekološki problem na prostoru grada Trebinja

Upravljanje otpadom predstavlja jedan od najprisutnijih problema gotovo svih jedinica lokalne samouprave. Prema kategorizaciji životne sredine Prostornog plana Republike Srpske do 2025. godine, Grad Trebinje pripada područjima kvalitetne životne sredine, sa veoma malim uticajem na životnu sredinu gde je neophodno odgovarajućim merama umanjiti postojeći (lokalizovan). Upravo neuređena deponija Obodina, na koju se trenutno otpad odlaže bez kontrole, predstavlja najveći ekološki rizik ovog prostora. Pored deponije, nedovoljna infrastruktura za odvojeno sakupljanje reciklabila, kao i tretman i odlaganje specifičnih tipova otpada (industrijskog, građevinskog, posebnih tokova otpada) predstavljaju dodatne probleme za uspostavljanje uređenog i ekološki bezbednog tretmana otpada. Trenutno su u postupku usvajanja dva važna dokumenta za Grad Trebinje – Prostorni plan Grada Trebinja i Lokalni plan upravljanja otpadom 2022-2027. godine, koji donose predloge rešenja ove problematike. U radu su prikazani rezultati analiza urađenih za potrebe izrade Prostornog plana Grada Trebinja od strane autora, kao i predložene mere koje bi u predstojem periodu rešile ovu problematiku
