The structure of non-populated areas, which can be heterogeneous and have a focus and a periphery, has been studied. 4 levels of uninhabited areas have been identified: local, regional, national-continental and planetary. Uninhabited areas are the testing ground for the development of nature-oriented recreational system (NRS). NRS is a variant of the classical territorial recreational system (TRS) on uninhabited territories, consisting of four subsystems: uninhabited areas, tourists, regulatory authorities and service personnel. In most cases the development of the NRS is carried out without its transformation into the TRS, and it is necessary so that tourists can plan their routes logically and safely, in the most interesting and attractive places.","PeriodicalId":35518,"journal":{"name":"Glasnik - Srpskog Geografskog Drustva","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89049910","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 goal of this study is to suggest which measures can be used to lessen the conflict and recognize which locations have the highest potential for environmental protection and tourism development. The study was made using analysis, synthesis, comparative and AHP methods. The analysed criteria for nature preservation and development of tourism are land use, distance from the roads and forest trails. It was necessary to analyse distance from settlements for nature preservation, and analyse the terrain slope for tourism development. The listed criteria are marked from 1 to 5 based on their importance for environmental protection and tourism.

However, in addition to tourist attractions and tourist infrastructure and superstructure as elements of tourist valorisation of the destination, the tourist staff is also a significant and indispensable factor of the tourist affirmation of the area. Tourism employees affect the entire tourist offer and thus affect the tourist traffic in the destination by virtue of how they operate, improve and conduct their business with the tourists. The aim of this paper is to present the degree of tourist satisfaction with the services of tourism employees during their stay in the Pcinja District. The degree of tourist satisfaction was determined by empirical research conducted in the area of the district in the second half of 2021, in which 526 respondents/tourists participated. The results were analysed using the IBM SPSS Statistic 20 software package. Partial (dis)satisfaction of respondents/tourists with the elements of tourist infrastructure and superstructure, as well as with the services of tourism employees, is shown by the obtained relatively low average scores of the analyzed variables. Using the T-test and ANOVA, it was concluded that the degree of (dis)satisfaction of tourists does not statistically significantly differ according to gender and age, that is, they generally have a uniform attitude when it comes to the development of the tourist infrastructure and superstructure and the features of the services of tourism employees in the Pcinj?

Bearing in mind that there are significant height differences in the relief of West Morava Valley (144-1,321 m above sea level), its breakdown caused the regional differentiation of settlements according to the size and structures of the population living in them. The statistical analysis was performed in two-period sections (1971 and 2011). The reason for this is that the 1970s were the most dynamic socio-economic transformation of the studied region, caused by the impact of industrialization and urbanization. The results obtained during the research show that the aging of the population in West Morava Valley has reached such a level that it represents a first-class problem. In the analysed forty-year period, the participation of the old population (60 and over) doubled (from 12.8% to 25.2%), while the aging index increased even three times (from 0.42 to 1.27). The population of West Morava Valley is in the stage of the deepest demographic age, with the difference that rural settlements at higher altitudes age much faster. The differences in the gender structure of the population between the urban and rural settlements of the region are not so drastically expressed, but in both categories the dominance of the female contingent is evident.","PeriodicalId":35518,"journal":{"name":"Glasnik - Srpskog Geografskog Drustva","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88574044","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 emergence of multi-cropping practices in Sierra Leone has negative and positive outcomes regarding environ-mental degradation. This article tries to synthesize multi-cropping land use challenges, benefits and role in tackling land degradation. The study was conducted in Mile 91 surrounding communities, Yoni Chiefdom, Tonkolili District, Northern provinces, Sierra Leone. A total of 100 respondents were randomly selected and interviewed. Additional data was collected through observation, group discussions and desktop review. The study reveals that multi-cropping practices, farming and deforestation were the main drivers of land-use change in the study. The key challenges facing the sustainable management of lands in Sierra Leone are obsolete land policies, complex land tenure system and conventional shifting cultivation practices. The land ownership system is strictly communal, with only a few families owning family bushes. The influx of recruited workers from overseas and other parts of Sierra Leone has positive and negative denotation. The study found that social problems like land confrontations, increase in food prices, school dropout rate, and dilution of traditional beliefs and norms are common in the study area. It is concluded that land-use change by multi-cropping is affecting the sustainable land management plan across the country. It is recommended that the government review past land policies and land tenure systems to tackle land confrontations soon.","PeriodicalId":35518,"journal":{"name":"Glasnik - Srpskog Geografskog Drustva","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89609350","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}

After a whole decade of stagnation, the labour force participation rate in Serbia has increased by 10% between 2012 and 2021, which opened the question of the deterministic basis for an in-creased economic activity in case of population that is aging and declining in size. For the purpose of decomposition, the method of overall rate decomposition has been used, which is considered to be the preferred standardization method. The results have shown that both the age composition as well as the age-specific labour force participation had a positive effect on the increase in overall economic activity. The effect of the age-specific labour force participation rates was significantly higher, contributing to more than 76% of the overall change, whereas the age composition resulted in only 22% change (25% change in case of male population, and 21% in case of female population). These findings shifted the research focus from aging population, as the key determinant of the labour force participation rate, towards the factors affecting the increase of specific age-related activity rates, but also towards the need to investigate the importance of other specific activity rates (apart from the age- and sex-related ones).","PeriodicalId":35518,"journal":{"name":"Glasnik - Srpskog Geografskog Drustva","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89952544","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}
