However, the quantities of water in these streams are relatively small, and characterized by great irregularities during the year. Moreover, in the last ten years of the research period, there has been a noticeable decrease of water quantities. The most significant river in the area is the Ljig River (48.9 km long), which is the largest tributary of the Kolubara River. The spring of the Ljig River is situated within the territory of the municipality, while the length of the stream on this territory is 30.13 km. The most significant tributaries of Ljig are Kacer, together with its tributary Kozeljica, as well as Dragobilj with Dragobiljica (Lalinacka Reka), Zerevac and Godevac. Among all the springs in Ljig municipality, the most important is the karst spring in the village of Ba, which is considered as the main spring of the Ljig River. It is used for water-supply of the town of Ljig and the village Kadina Luka. There are many water-management problems in Ljig municipality. The most prominent are the problems of erosion, gulling streams and floods, water-supply issues, as well as insufficient water-management infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":166785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geographical Institute Jovan Cviji?, SASA","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131207915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The area was home to two imperial capitals of the Mediaeval Serbian state Prizren and Skopje. With the Ottoman invasion of the Sar lands in the late 14 century (after the occupation of Skopje in 1392 and of Prizren in 1455), the until then ethnically purely Serbian and religiously purely Orthodox Christian environment experienced its first major ethnic, religious, and demographic changes. Colonies of Ottoman Turkish townspeople artisans and traders, as well as military personnel spahis, yannisaries and other services of the Turkish regular and ancillary armies began to be formed in the neighbouring Orthodox imperial cities of Prizren, Tetovo, and Skopje. Parallel with the invasion and settling of its people, mostly from Anatolia (Asia Minor), the Ottomans carried out Islamisation on a lesser or greater scale Turkicization of the indigenous Serbian population, and of a large section of the Arbanasi (Albanians) populating the area between the Crni Drim river and the Adriatic Sea. Turkish administrative, judicial, and agrarian institutions which were based on the Shari'ah law imposed a timar-spahi agrarian and legal system in their socio-economic dealings with the subjugated population (reaya, Turkish for flock). Since the Shari'a law, based on the religious precepts of the Koran, promised the subjugated Christian nations exemption from numerous taxes where harc (tribute) and kulluk (angaria, forced labour) were the worst obligations imposed by spahis on the reaya – on conversion to Islam, many from among the subjugated populations converted and thus became \"true\" Turkish citizens with full rights.

River habitats in Golijska Moravica and Jerma basin have been assessed and classified by RHS method, and reference values are determined (which would serve for the next research of river habitats in Serbia). In Golijska Moravica and Jerma basin semi-natural and predominantly unmodified habitats with high diversity are dominant. If we compare HQA index of Moravica and Jerma with HQA indexes in some European countries (Austria, Germany) of same river type (small, shallow mountain rivers) we can conclude that sites in Moravica and Jerma basin have higher habitat diversity. Within river basins there are spatial differences of HQA index value. River sites in Moravica and Jerma basin have lower values of HMS index than sites in European countries. The impact of individual characteristics on total HQA and HMS score is also determined in this paper. Results of this paper are important for conservation of natural habitats, for river basin management plans and to estimate environmental impact of future water management activities in these basins.","PeriodicalId":166785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geographical Institute Jovan Cviji?, SASA","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114082606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on the level of society development and people’s way of living, the communication process has differed - ways of realization, comprehension and interpretation. Modern development of communicational technology, i.e. of the instruments of modern communication, has determined a number of different types and ways of communication. This enabled faster and more intense production and reproduction of information. By development of the computer network and virtual communication, a communicational practice became more intensive and faster. A form of cartographic communication in the function of informational and educational communication is enabled by forming a system of signs through which the information, as a product of consciences, is objectified as a message and a characteristic of a subjects of communication who produce, communicate and use those information.","PeriodicalId":166785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geographical Institute Jovan Cviji?, SASA","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123317195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What is characteristic about this region is stagnation and deterioration of major branches of economy, not only due to specific natural qualities of the mountains in this region, as well as general current economic politics towards most borderline areas in Serbia, but also due to the fact that these villages cannot even find stimulating economic support in cooperation with nearby borderline region of Romania, which is actually one of the poorly developed regions of the Romanian part of Banat.","PeriodicalId":166785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geographical Institute Jovan Cviji?, SASA","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125527787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

GIS has not only influenced the development of methods, collection techniques, processing, manipulation and visualization of spatial data. It influenced also the expansion of scientific research in geosciences, as well as the technical disciplines that are engaged in spatial analysis. Nowadays, GIS is becoming the tool for verification and practical implementation of models and algorithms that have been developed within the frame of basic scientific disciplines. The meaning of the GIS acronym is becoming more and more related to term of Geographical or Geo Information Sciences. Scientific concepts that are increasingly applied in GIS are more emphasized in that way. GIS computational techniques, required also the development of geographical data models that should effectively support GIS operations. These models represent formal equivalents of conceptual models used by people in observing geographic phenomena. Spatial phenomena used to be mapped as clearly defined points with known coordinates, or as lines which connect the very same points, or as polygons with exactly defined borders. They were mapped previously in analog form and nowadays in digital format. This approach of perceiving a space, data analyses and visualization of spatial quires is limited on the application of basic rules of Boolean algebra and binary logic, with final results presented as classical thematic maps. The need for a mathematical model that would describe uncertainty of spatial data, resulted in the introduction of the theory of fuzzy sets in spatial analysis. Moreover, this model will provide a solution for visualization and grouping up of spatial phenomena in classes which do not have clearly defined borders.","PeriodicalId":166785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Geographical Institute Jovan Cviji?, SASA","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125543879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
