Existing state of exploration of hydrogeothermal potentials and the possibility of their use in the territory of Bogatić municipality

Geothermal, that is, hydrogeothermal energy is an important resource that can contribute to the energy independence of the state. In the conditions of the modern energy crisis, renewable natural resources based on hydrogeothermal potential are invaluable. The municipality of Bogatić, as part of Mačva, is one of the most promising hydrogeothermal sites in Europe. The main reservoir of low mineralization geothermal waters consists of karstic Triassic limestone and dolomite. In the main reservoir, it is realistic to expect water temperatures up to 100°C which can be used for heating purposes, in agriculture and aquaculture, industry, for balneotherapy, sports, recreation, and electricity production. Socio-economic, technical and technological and ecological advantages are numerous in comparison to other sources of energy. Considering that this is a region that has significant land potential, the production of food, primarily vegetable in greenhouses, based on the use of thermal energy, should be a priority for the whole region and the municipality of Bogatić

Termomineralne vode Novopazarske banje

In this paper, an analysis has been done of hydrological, geological and chemical characteristics of thermo-mineral waters in Novopazarska Banja (spa). We have established their present usage for health and recreational purposes. We have also established the possible usage of the sites that are suitable for those purposes and that have not been given this function before. Most of the larger health centers work needs. Their transformation into centres of regional proportions requires constructing of new infrastructure and application of modern marketing approach.Novopazarska banja se nalazi u jugozapadnoj Srbiji, u dolini Izbičke reke, desne pritoke Raške. Od Novog Pazara kome gravitira je udaljena oko 3 km. Banja ima termomineralne izvore, koji pripadaju grupi sumporovitih hipertermi. Klima odnosno mikroklima je umerena i pogoduje zdravlju i rehabilitaciji.Ona je ujedno banjsko i klimatsko lečilište, takozvana "oaza zdravlja"

Tourism climatic index in the valorisation of climate in tourist centers of Montenegro

Climate is one of the main factors for the development of recreational forms of tourism in Montenegro. It affects the temporal arrangement and spatial distribution of tourists throughout the year. It determines the context of the environment in which the activities of tourists take place and represents the tourism resources. It is important for the planning and construction of tourism facilities and infrastructure, as well as the organization of tourism activities. This paper presents the tourism climatic index as a bioclimatic indicator for determining the conditions suitable for recreational tourism throughout the year. Research results according to the case study indicate the comparative advantages and also the lack of climate as the resource in tourism of Montenegro. There is an apparent underutilization of periods with climate conditions that work in favour of recreational forms of tourism. The uneven spatial and temporal arrangement of suitable climatic conditions in the tourist centres is the factor of the formation of seasonality of tourism trends. However, the results of linear correlation of tourism climatic index and monthly visits point to the incompatibility of potentials with capacity utilization.

La condición de las empresas de hospitalidad rural en el turismo rural: el caso de Serbia

Rural attractions has increasing opportunities to act as a basic resource for tourism, organised and sustained through locally owned small enterprises. Rural hospitality enterprises (RHEs) are a rapidly expanding and dynamic sector of the rural tourism industry, largely associated with the concept of sustainability in which local communities are increasingly proactive in facilitating the regional development. The research was aimed to determine the real condition of the accommodation capacity in rural tourism of Serbia. The authors employed a questionnaire to obtain data on the RHEs in thirteen (13) municipalities in Serbia. Thanks to the obtained results, the current condition of RHEs and potentials for more prosperous rural tourism development in the researched municipalities, can clearly be noticed.Las atracciones rurales tienen oportunidades cada vez mayores de actuar como un recurso básico para el turismo, organizado y sostenido a través de pequeñas empresas locales. Las empresas de hospitalidad rural (EHR) son un sector de industria del turismo rural dinámico y en rápida expansión, en gran medida asociado con el concepto de sostenibilidad dentro del cual las comunidades locales son cada vez más proactivas para facilitar el desarrollo regional. La investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la condición real de la capacidad de alojamiento en el turismo rural de Serbia. Los autores emplearon un cuestionario para obtener datos sobre las EHR en trece (13) municipios de Serbia. Gracias a los resultados obtenidos, se puede observar claramente la condición actual de las EHR y las posibilidades de un desarrollo turístico rural más próspero en los municipios investigados.Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestale

Challenges of water management: Case study of Gruža reservoir

The paper analyses the legal and institutional framework of water management in Serbia. The aim is to identify existing obstacles that interfere with the development and implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The paper points out some of the most common challenges of integrated reservoir management in Serbia, such as gaps and ambiguities in the legislative framework, poor institutional coordination, underdeveloped environmental awareness and often conflicting stakeholder involvement. The case study is trying to address the current challenges of using and managing the water reservoir. The paper will provide answers to the following questions: What are the main problems related to the use and management of reservoirs, how to reconcile different sectors and users of the water resources, how to achieve the economic and environmental development goals?

Local government in Serbia: Between legislation and practice

The paper is based on an assumption that there are many limitations of accelerating the decentralization process and the implementation of sustainable development policy in Serbia at the local level. Although these limitations may vary between local governments (local communities) because of different degrees of social-economic development, a framework can be defined, which will be explained on the example of Serbia as a developing country. Lately, the role and the importance of the local community has been strengthening, which is particularly intensified by the rapid technical and technological development and the need for a quick adjustment to the changes resulting from it. In this regard, the development of local government units and the level of living standard of citizens increasingly depend on the modernization of local government legislation. The issue of property and resources management at the local level is essential for the process of decentralization, economic empowerment and the development of local government. The article is and a discussion aimed at the development capacity and the problems of local government units and their ability to initiate the process of democratization and economic prosperity of the country, given the numerous development limitations (economic, social and environmental), and the inherited patterns of behavior from the time of socialism
