Bioklimatska analiza spoljašnjeg termalnog komfora područja Parka prirode Zlatibor na osnovu UTCI indeksa

U radu je sprovedena bioklimatska analiza područja Parka prirode “Zlatibor” korišćenjem Univerzalnog termalnog klimatskog indeksa (UTCI) kojim se predstavlja toplotni stres ljudskog organizma uzrokovan meteorološkim uslovima. Cilj istraživanja jeste praćenje toka i promena vrednosti indeksa, kao i zastupljenost različitih kategorija termalnog stresa na sezonskom nivou, u periodu 2012-2017. godina. Za potrebe analize korišćene su srednje dnevne vrednosti meteoroloških parametara (temperatura vazduha, vazdušni pritisak, relativna vlažnost vazduha, brzina vetra i oblačnost) za period od 6 godina (2012-2017.god) koji su izmereni na glavnoj meteorološkoj stanici Zlatibor (1028 nmv.). Dobijenim rezultatima registrovana je postepena izmena sezonskih bioklimatskih karakteristika ovog područja. Najznačajnije promene zabeležene su tokom leta i početkom jeseni, što je u skladu sa pređašnjim istraživanjima vremenskih i bioklimatskih uslova teritorije Republike Srbije, koja su ukazala na postojanje pozitivnog trenda porasta srednje godišnjih temperatura

Biothermal conditions on Mt. Zlatibor based on thermophysiological indices

This paper presents part of the research in the field of human bioclimatology and refers to biothermal conditions in different geographical environments in Serbia: an urban area and a mountain of medium height. The goal of the paper was to show bioclimatic differences during the summer between the city of Belgrade (116 m a.s.l.) and the mountain resort of Zlatibor (1498 m a.s.l.). The basic principle of bioclimatic analysis is the human heat balance between man and environment. This methodological approach is a combination of physiological and meteorological parameters that result in thermophysiological bioclimatic indices: heat load (HL) in man and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). For this analysis, weather data for July, as the warmest month, was obtained, using daily meteorological data for the decade from 2000 to 2010. Results for July indicate a considerable difference between the two abovementioned environments. HL in Belgrade was dominated by degrees of comfort "hot" and "extremely hot, with the highest value of 4.540, while for Zlatibor the dominant degree of comfort was "warm". The UTCI in Belgrade has dominated by strong heat stress and moderate heat stress, compared to Zlatibor where the UTCI is dominated by moderate heat stress. In addition, a significant part of the monitored decade on Mt. Zlatibor was without heat stress, with the exception of 2006 and 2007, indicating favorable biothermal characteristics. Therefore, compared to Belgrade, with its considerably lower overall heat stress Zlatibor has the characteristics of a site with favorable bioclimatic qualities

THE GEOGRAPHY OF SERBIA

The manuscript represents a review of the monograph publication entitled The Geography of Serbia, published by the Geographical Institute ''Jovan Cvijić'' SASA in Belgrade. The aim of the review is to present this significant book to the scientific community, which gathered fifty-six, mainly young researchers who courageously accepted to write the study of special national importance, and include a vast geographical material from physical geography, human geography and related disciplines into a unique whole

Primena modela Meneks u bioklimatskoj analizi Loznice za potrebe zdravstvenog turizma i rekreacije

Predmet istraživanja rada jesu Grad Loznica i bioklimatski uslovi koji vladaju na datom području. Proceniti kako i na koji način bioklimatski uslovi utiču na zdravstveno, odnosno psiho-fizičko stanje čoveka osnova je razvoja klimatoterapije, rekreacije i pojedinih oblika turizma. Jedan od najznačajnijih potencijala razvoja Grada Loznice i osnova razvoja turizma jeste zdravstveno-turističko-rekreativni centar Banja Koviljača, koja je proglašena banjom od perspektivnog međunarodnog značaja. Takođe, postoje i drugi, raznovrsni, ali nedovoljno iskorišćeni potencijali za unapređenje turizma i rekracije (planina Cer i manje poznata Banja Badanja). Cilj rada jeste afirmacija bioklimatskih analiza primenom modela Meneks u okviru geoekološkog vrednovanja predela, u domenu razvoja i unapređenja različitih vidova turizma i rekreacije koji se obavljaju na datom prostoru, kao i u oblasti medicinsko-geografskih istraživanja. Primenom ovog modela dobija se objektivna predstava i podaci o stvarnom bioklimatskom uticaju na teritoriji Loznice, koji se potom mogu iskoristiti u navedene svrhe. Za potrebe analize korišćeni su dnevni meteo-podaci iz 2016. godine uz pomoć kojih su određeni termofiziološki bioklimatski indeksi: Toplotno opterećenje u čoveku (HL) i Fiziološko naprezanje (PhS). U Srbiji i Republici Srpskoj postoji veliki broj banjskih i klimatskih mesta i rekreativnih zona, pa geoekološka evaluacija i bioklimatske analize tih područja savremenim metodama mogu umnogome doprineti efikasnijem sagledavanju potencijala njihovog budućeg razvoja, te većoj turističkoj afirmaciji

Bioclimatology and ecoclimatology prospecting: Right out development

This paper discusses fact that there is small number of articles about bioclimatic research in domestic scientific literature which is correlated with small number of bioclimatic researching projects. Authors want to emphasize that for changing this condition it is necessary to applying multidisciplinary approach to bioclimatic research. As an example of multidisciplinary approach in bioclimatic research it is representing mathematical model MENEX-5. This model opens a new opportunities for bioclimatic research of actual environmental problems, which are trigger by global climate change and destruction of ozone layer.U ovom radu se razmatra činjenica da u domaćoj naučnoj literaturi postoji mali broj tekstova o bioklimatskim istraživanjima što je uslovljeno izuzetno malim brojem istraživačkih projekata u oblasti bioklimatologije. Autori žele da naglase da je za promenu ovakvog stanja neophodno primeniti multidisciplinarni pristup u bioklimatološkim istraživanjima. Kao primer multidisciplinarnog pristupa bioklimatskim istraživanjima predstavlja se matematički model MENEX-5. Ovaj model otvara nove mogućnosti za bioklimatska istraživanja aktuelnih ekoloških problema koja su izazvana globalnim klimatskim promenama i uništavanjem ozonskog omotača

GEOECOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF PROTECTED AREA FOR RECREATION AND TOURISM PLANNING – THE EVIDENCE FROM THE BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA NATIONAL PARK

The quantitative “diversity” method of the German geoecologist Hans Kiemstedt was adopted for the needs of a geoecological evaluation and landscape planning of the Kozara National Park in the Republic of Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina to be used for relaxation and recreation purposes. The aim of this paper is to indicate that geoecology can provide spatial planners with the expertise of landscape research, evaluation, planning and management. The method was employed to carry out landscape analysis and categorization, then the process of evaluation was done, based on which a synthetic map of the recreation potential of the research area was created. Geographic Information System (GIS) was used as a powerful tool that can provide a more detailed and meaningful analysis. This study shows the importance of integration a geoecological evaluation method with a geographic information system in order to get such a spacious offer in which the recreation areas are situated in most favorable places without negative effects on the environment. The evaluation of the Kozara National Park recreational potential conducted on a research area covering 3,907.54 ha leads to the conclusion that the area is mostly conditionally suitable for recreational activities. Obtained results showed that 41.32% is suitable and very suitable for recreation, especially distributed in central, northern, eastern, northeastern and southeastern parts of the National Park of Kozara
