Abstract: This paper is a contribution in the context of implementing the national project Development possibilities of Slovenian border regions after Slovenia's entering the Schengen Area. The analysis and comparison of economic indicators of economic development originate in European socioeconomic policy on structuring the Euro regions which represent permanent spatial structures aimed at promoting cross-border co-operation between the neighbouring local and regional communities in the border area on both sides of the state borders. An analysis of development parameters of effectiveness of regional development of Slovenia upon its inclusion into the European Union is given. Special emphasis is given to the transition process in border regions of the north-eastern Slovenia. Social and economic development has opened the formerly peripheral regions to intense international transit and to local exchange, although their intensity is not equally distributed. Based on the analysis of spatial and functional changes, a comparision of economic effectiveness and competitiveness will be given using the example of Podravje and Pomurje statistical regions compared to the border regions in Austria and Hungary.
Key words: economic development, European integration, economic integration, spatial structures, regional disparities, border regions, peripherality.

Abstract: In this work, the geographic aspects of indentity are explored, wherein the concept and types of spatial indentity and their potential (re-)evaluation within the framework geospatial development are explained. Spatial identities (local, regional and national) are formed in and emerge from the complex processes, so they are specific form of the cultural and geographic heritage. Since the homogenizing impact of globalization leads to the accelerated deterioration of spatial-cultural authenticity, the cultural and geographic diveristy and, in this manner, the sustainable development of every physical space. As a synthetic science of the geographic space, geography plays an irreplacealbe role here, which should be affirmed through a more engaged approach to the study, expansion of social awareness, preservation and appreciation of identities at all levels of the spatial hierarchy.
Keywords: geography, identity, spatial identity, local identity, regional identity, national identity, geographic space, sustainable development.

Abstract: Tourism science at German universities and colleges is seen and taught in an interdisciplinary way. Thus also human-geographic attempts are to be looked upon in the economic area as a social phenomenon and under an ecological point of view. Starting from this approach, the area of leisure and tourism geography has developed since 1990s, based on system theoretical and methodical attempts. Within the last decades, leisure and tourism geography has become on of the most important branches of modern geography.

Abstract: As per FAO definition dated 1977, adequate usage and managing of natural environment implies bringing of such decisions that would result in utmost convenience to man and at the same time would protect the environment and preserve it for the future. It seems that these are two exclusive elements of functioning in the environment but illustrate that only the application of principles, methods and factors of sustainable development, i.e. methodology of geo-ecological researches may result in optimal managing of space. The purpose of this work is to present the situation and to explore the possibilities of economy development in karst area as a space of extremely labile ecological balance. Considering the natural resources of relief features in karst, Bosnia ad Herzegovina, together with the Republic of Croatia is amongst top world countries. Even from this aspect these two countries were called on co-operation and adequate sequence of activities in the managing of karst. Karst in B&H is poorly expressed but encompasses more than a half of state territory. Only a little bit more than 20% of state population lives on that territory. Modern time makes such areas more attractive for people eager to rest, recreate but also for those willing to hide their activities inside karst. Natural resource of karst ground-water is nowadays well known reality and strengthen activities are being undertaken aimed at exploiting it. Developing changes have caused negative consequences for the quality of surface and subterranean environment. The topic of research is karst in B&H and human activities in karst through history, starting from pasture, then water accumulations until modern waste deposits. Waste and construction of dumps is a part of human existence, but such activity in karst makes preconditions for uncontrolled consequent reactions in geo- system. Analyzing recent human conducts in karst, a conclusion could be brought that the consequences have mainly been seen as short-term, but the long-term consequences are very dangerous, far-reaching and unpredictable. Scientists dealing with this issue believe that garbage dumps should not been even foreseen and to say nothing of building them on karst. By methods of analyses and synthesis of human activities on karst through history, by experiences published and collected from available literature as well as recognizing in field, the results have been obtained being enough for bringing conclusions. The results reveal that the so far activities are good indicators of how something should not be done. Karst has some limits that should not be overstepped. Making of study on influencing enivronment, study of space wakness or issuing of environmental permits must not be just a formality, but scientifically supported elaboration whose goal is not finding of comparative advantages of one location against the other but the application of thoroughly researched and tested methodology of optimal managing of space. Given methodology should be futher adapted and elaborated within the conditions of B&H specific quality. These tasks are ahead of us.

Abstract: As tourism is nowadays a global activity developing fast, more space is given to geography as a scientific discipline in solving complex problems on micro and macro levels. Furthermore, new technologies in geography include as well new instruments in estimation of touristic activities in space. Geographers are more and more turning their attention to reaction and its relation with space sistems. Therefore, geographical perspectives of tourism and recreation, apart of the well known research content (natural and social resources), should be broaden, by including geographical research of supply and demand, protection of touristic regions by controlling their exploatation, new paths in tourism and technology inovations in the touristic industry.

Abstract: The subject of this work is empirical research of students motivational structure with regards to geography lessons in primary and secondary schools. Thus we looked at the motivation of the students at primary and secondary schools in Novi Sad. The aim of the research is to establish the form of motivation which has the optimal effect on students further work and studying of geography. This aspect of research is specified by three realised tasks: research of motivation for geography in primary school students (1), rank the motifs according to importance for secondary school students (2), explanation (comprising results of both samples) of motivational work and study geography better. Generally, the results of the research confirm the established hypothesis that a group of elements defined as external motivation have significantly greater influence on studying geography than the internal motivation which is a more desired one.

PRIMJENA MULTIVARIJANTNIH STATISTIČKIH METODA U GEOMORFOLOGIJI
DOI: 10.35666/28310438.2008.2.120
UDC: 911.5/.9[551.4:311](497.5)
Abstract: This work deals with multivariate statistic approach to the relief classification and typology in respect of slope processes, on the example of Zrinska and Trgovska mountain. Methods used in this research are: multiple linear correlation and regression, cluster analysis, discriminant and canonical analysis. Multiple linear correlation and regression are useful as criterion for establishing the relationship between chosen variables but also for determination the hierarchy of influence of independent variables on the dependent one.Cluster analysis represents a statistical technique of classification individual patterns of terrain in aspect of their similarity or dissimilarity according to their characteristics. The main purpose is determination of more relatively homogenous cluster groups of terrain patterns which represents particular relief types. By discriminant analysis, it is possible to establish the complete discriminant influence of variables on system in whole and slo the level of influence of each variable on the differentation of cluster groups (relief types). After this procedure, the extracting of discriminant functions need to be done by method of canonical correlation, for the purpose of gaining orthogonal linear combinations of predictor variables (discriminant functions). By analysis of loading of each discriminant function with variables it is possible to define each function according to domination of certain geomorphological processes. This method also enables constructing the models of relationships between cluster groups and discriminant functions, which can be established as a base for typology and evaluation.
Keywords: multivariate statistical methods, Zrinska and Trgovska mountain, slope processes, relief types.

Abstract: Interactive teaching was introduced into the education system of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the end of 20th century. It has brought major changes in the teaching process. Models of interactive teaching have been smoothly applied in realisation of teaching contents in Geography, due to a large number of contents appropriate for interacitve teaching. First, the adventage of ineractive teaching is observed in improved activity of students in class. However, there are contents which are more suitable for realization within the classical teaching model. During the education process, students have been accustomed to classical teaching model, when the teacher conveys information to the students, which needs to memorized and learnt, thus certain contents are suitable for realisation within the classical teaching model. It is upon the teacher to decide which teaching model is to be applied to certain contents and certainly which of them would produce better results. The conducted experiment demonstrated that is no priority given to the interactive teaching in realisation of Geography contents. This model of teaching presents similar results to the classical teaching model. Moreover, it illustrates that realization and success of a class depends upon a whole range of factors, such as students motivation in class, their attitude about the content, their general knowledge and results in Geography.

Abstract: Spatial retail managment in one country encompasses harmonization of supply and demand on that territory, which should result in optimal spatial distribution of retail network. One of the key element in this process is creation of retail monitoring system in whole territory of the country. For that purpose, it is very important to create such regionalization which will enable adequate statistical monitoring of retail activity on the whole territory. In this article, we used spatial development of retail in Serbia as an example of new concept in spatial optimization of retail network as well as for showing possible way of creation of effective reatail monitoring and management system. After brief analysis of the present Serbian spatial retail organization and several suggestion of regionalization for the purpose of retailing management, we introduce new model of spatial and territorial organization of retail activity using NUTS regionalization as the basis. This model accepts present administrative regionalization, general geographical principles and creation hierarchical nomenclature.

Abstract: During the times of former SFRY, Bosnia and Herzegovina represented, together with its cities and regions, a constituent element of the so called „AVNOJ“ (Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia) travel itineraries of Slovene attractions and sights attracted groups and individually motivated vistiors. Desintegration of Yugoslavia and armed conflicts which followed interrupted and later broke off tourist activities in the debated region. With peace reestablishment, stabilization of general conditions and post-war restoration in the late nineties of the past century, the circumstances for re-development of tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina improved. The article initially presents tourism trends of Bosnia and Herzegovina over the last decade. Special emphasis is put on the number of Slovene tourists and their overnight stays in comparison with other visitors. Authors proceed with an analysis of tourist offer of Slovene travel agencies and other tour organisers who include Bosnia and Herzegovina and its destinations into their travel itineraries. The research performed shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina is becoming increasingly more recognised and visited tourist destination by Slovene visitors.

Abstract: Overall natural-geographic characteristics of Bosnia and Herzegovina represent unused potentials for development of various branches of tourism. Sanica region based in the north-west part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on relatively small area and it has potential for creation of complete and united tourist destination. Besides verything, Sanica region offers precondition for development of some neglected kinds of tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina: alpine/mountain tourism, rural tourism and adventure tourism (extreme sports tourism). Attractive characteristics, which generate development of tourism in Sanica region, can be divided into natural and social attractive characteristics. Geomorphologic and hydrogeographic variety, as well as many natural phenomenon, separate natural attractive characteristics above social ones. The most significant natural attractiveness in Sanica region are rivers: Sanica and Korčanica, lakes in Sanica, and mountain massif Grmeč with many geologic, geomorphologic, hydrologic and biologic monuments of the nature. Tourism is offering many posisibilities for the region whereas reasons for insufficient tourist valorization should be looked for, in bad traffic connection of the region; deficit of receptive and catering trade; and insufficient help of municipal, cantonal and state administration, insufficient tourist advertising of the region; lack of professionals in present situation. War events have negatively affected tourism and its proposals of the Herzegovina, and emphasising development of tourism could be one of the priority measures for rebuilding of the area.

Abstract: In accordance with contemporary trends in tourism, based on the „returning to nature“ principle, the significance of areas with preserved natural ambience is increased. The Komovi region is an area that remained, touristicaly, not well established comparing to other mountain areas of Montenegro, mainly due to its peripheral position. Owing to its specific features, such as numerous springs, pastures, meadows, forests, callows and traditional way of living, this area has a good basis for organization of ecotouristic activities, which would, also, enable the development of the area and its surroundings. Since 2006, several ideas for the promotion of this mountain area, as future ecodestination, have begun to realize. The aim of this paper is to analize the measures to increase the number of visitors as well as to display the possible directions for popularization and arrangement of Komovi region.

Abstract: The tourist assessment fo cultural possessions is of great significance in planning the development of the cultural tourism of a destination. It actually has to do with the assessment of their values and at the same time with examining the possibility to include cultural assets into the tourist development. They are in a unique way a reflection of a location, its lifestyle and surroundings, they promote the ethnic traditions of the destination and give opportunity for various events. There are about 150 protected fixed assets of culture on the territory of western Serbia. The observed area is enormous, the number of assets too and therefore 53 assets have been selected and divided into four groups. The first group is comprised of arheological sites, the second of areas and significant places, the third of the monastery and church inheritance and the fourth of individual cultural monuments. In addition to the classical assessment, Hillary du Cros method has been applied. The tourist assessment of monumental assets that has been carried out shows that these assets can be used for the tourist purpose, that they have market value, the tourist activities can take place without any distraction and their significance goes beyond that of the region.

Abstract: Župa dubrovačka is extremely well bordered geographical unit, situated south-east from Dubrovnik (20,35 km2 i 6663 inhabitants 2001). This paper consideres recent geographical transformation of Župa dubrovačka that manifest in socio-economic and landscape changes. For the centuries Župa was exclusively rural area with developed agriculture, and major changes happened in second half of 20th century. Tourism develops intensively and becomes dominant activity, intensifys proces of litoralisation that is related with abandonment og agriculture and turning to tertiary activities which develops under impact of tourism, especially one that is related to the narrow coastal region and belonging sea surface. Number of inhabitants increases, greatly because of immigration. New economic activities and larger number of inhabitants have influence on landscape changes: once atractive parts of Župa field becomes residetial area, while in other parts comes succession of original mediterranean vegetation. In Župa develops urbanization, infrastructure is building: traffic roads, water-supply, telecommunication system etc. Ascending lane in Župa dubrovačka economic development interruped Croatian War of Independence (Homeland War), followed by long recovery period. Although, by now, there is made great progress in whole economic reconstruction, still there is large part of touristic capacity out of function. In last decade trade in Župa develops rapidly in the form of shopping centres which are located in the industrial-business area, part of Župa that is the closest to Dubrovnik. It is well traffic connected, it is not on the coast and thereby is not in collision with the tourism. Centuries of Župa directivity to Dubrovnik is still evident in daily migrations because of business and education. Dubrovnik development has influence of futher development of Župa, that more likely becomes its suburban area in wich spillovers surplus of inhabitants, and it is confirmed by recently house space organization, similar as in many other eastern adriatic coastal regions, therewith converges specificity of multiple influence of Dubrovnik as regional urban centre and on of the most important tourism centre on the Mediterranean.

UDC: 911.37.001.76:394(497.5Zadar)
Abstract: Today there is a wide spread perception that information on environment in general, and urban environment in particular, is the determinant of rational decision making, effective governance and rational allocation of natural, human and fiscal resources. Effort to incorporate sustainability principles into urban development of post-socialist city demands new relationships between traditional and contemporary culture of key players involved in urban planning and development. Assessing the effectivness of urban environment and its auditing through the development and implementation of sustainability indicators system has been the subject of numerous studies and urban management practices worldwide starting with Global Union Observatory UNCHS which developed a data base for measuring the quality of life in more than 1,100 cities worldwide. Individual cities also begin developing sets of indicators, especially in Canada (Vancouver), United States of America (Pittsburgh, Santa Monica, Seattle) and England (Birstol), and more recently in continental Europe at large (ESPON Urban Audit). This paper evaluates the use of indicators as a means of measuring the quality of urban life in changing socio-economic and environmental circumstance, against major sustainability principles in coastal city of Zadar. A new GIS based method suitable for post-socialist and transitional cities in a fragile Mediterranean environment is outlined for the development of quantitative indicators as part of an integrated approach which includes analysis of natural, built-up, social, economic and political components.

Abstract: Large quantity of clay, sands, marl and marly limestone are being disposed off as a waste material during the exploitation of coal as a useful mineral resource at opencasts in Tuzla Canton. Thus they disrupt the environment even though they could be used for technical and biological re-cultivation of devasted area. Legal regulations in this field are inufficient and rarely applied. Detailed exploration of waste materials in the area of Tuzla Canton has been carried out within „REINTRO“ project. Following that exploration, marl fom PK „Višća“ and clayey-sandy sediments from PK „Šikulje“ have been selected for test lots. The results of the exploration show that the marl and clayey-sandy sediments canbe used for biological re-cultivation at old abandoned opencasts. Marl can also, with minor correction, beused for cement production and sand can be used as a corrective component in cement production.

Abstract: The Law on Mining provides for re-cultivation of the areas where the exploitation of mineral resources has been finished. However, timely decrease of the impact on the environment can be achieved by immediate re-cultivation of devastated surfaces in certain parts of the mineral resources deposit in order to integrate the area into the existing environment. The example of a successful re-cultivation is a Brown Coal Mine Banovići where from 1974. about 40 ha of degraded surface have been re-cultivated by agricultural commodities. Besides these, certain devastated areas have, following technical re-cultivation, been handed over to the inhabitants of surrounding villages who carried out the re-cultivation by agricultural commodities. New settlements, which were moved from the exploitation field, have also been built. In this way, new standards have been set in mining and ecology, which show that it is not only important to unearth the resources but also to invest in recovery as well as useful management of unearthed and recovered area.
Key words: mineral resources, Law on Mining, surface and subterranean explitation, re-cultivation, devastated surfaces, agricultural commodities.

Abstract: Villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina are suffering great changes and/or vanishing. It came as a result of wrong agricultural and industrial policies in the former state, deteriorating processes caused by the war and transition of the society. Villages are infrastructurally and esthetically neglected, agricultural tradition has been destroyed and life of the few remaining farmers in general is very hard. It is extremely important to make serious plans for sustainable development of villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina. When making those plans all adventages and disadventages of our countryside must be taken into consideration as well as general situation in wider region and in the world.The position of farmers must be improved by continuous stimulation and modernization of agricultural production. This process will give apperance of order and neatness which will result in improvement of tourism and other activities not directly connected with agriculture. Every step must be planned and made under expert leadership and supervision. It would be a great leap forward for Bosnia and Herzegovina while catching up with the processes of globalization and integrations. In this way villages of Bosnia and Herzegovina would get a new look and function.
Key words: Bosnia and Herzegovina, suistanable development of villages, agricultural production, neat countryside, village tourism.

UDC: 911.2[556:574.57](497.6+497.5)
Abstract: Livno, Tomislavgrad, Imotski and Trilj areas belong to the Dinaric mountain region. The aquifers in the investigated areas are transboundary karst aquifers important for water supply, irrigation and electric power production. The aim of this study was to investigate hydrochemical characteristics of waters in these areas. Hydrochemical investigation can indicate water pollution as well as help in defining of litological characteristics of the water flow areas. Furthermore, some chemical parameters can be used as natural tracers for determining of water flow direction of the karst groundwaters. Water samples were taken from 11 springs and 1 ponor in October 2006. In December 2006 the samples were taken again from 7 springs. Physical and chemical parameters were tested: pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, major anions and cations, trace metals and TOC. The data were analysed for water types and hydrochemical characteristics using the QW_Chart and PHREEQC software. Tested waters are of Ca-bicarbonate type. They are lightly saturated to saturated with calcite and un sturated to lightly saturated regarding dolomite. Concentrations of trace metals, nitrate and sulphate are below maximal admissible level stated by EU Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC). The sulphate concentrations of the waters in Livno area are higher than in the other investigated areas. Due to high heterogeneity of the karst aquifers more frequent and continuous investigation is needed to determine factors which control chemical water composition and their seasonal variations.
Keywords: karst waters, hydrochemical parameters, transboundary aquifers, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Abstract: The European continent, the mother-land of nationalism, and the part of the world where political borders and different territorial and cultural identities are mostly inter-related, is now facing new challenges regarding how best to represent its numerous interests within one system. With the increase of international integration European countries began to devote greater attention to the development problems of their integration process. The fostering of a more balanced regional development problems also resulted in a strenghtening of regional characteristics, which the new model could no longer ignore. Regional characteristics in turn have always been preserved in Europe by persistent historical and cultural elements of ethnic and linguistic variety. Therefore it is not surprising that the process of European integration based on the new regional development model was accompanied by a parallel process of ethnic or regional awakening of minorities and other local communities. The key question for contemporary European (though of course this is not limited to Europe) political geography is, then, how the process summarised under the twin labels of social convergence and deterritorialzation will effect the persistent maintenance of social identities and the corresponding divergence of regional spaces. Or, in other words: is the „unity in diversity“ European programme ever practicable and exportable on aa world-wide scale or are we to be absrbed by a new global „melting pot“?

Abstract: Modern economical, political and geographical processes of reform in BiH are in slow progress and they are deffered with large number of delays caused by numerous and different factors (depend of specific activities which are implemented for specific areas). However, results are visible and can be tracked through large number of implemented reforms of reforms which are still in implementation on internal political and economic plan, i.e. through integration processes in EU, as well in NATO and other European and world organisations. During 2003 European comision and OHR have started project of establishment of five economic regions in BiH with aim to organize better and more efficient administrative, economic and geographical system. Sarajevo economic macro region (SMR) is one of them. SMR is unique geographical (historical, natural, social, regional and transport) area, which includes 32 municipalities, 13 from Republic of Srpska, and 19 from Federation of BiH. SMR is middle sized region comparing with other regions in more developed European countries. Six key areas (natural resources-position and current usage, population, social infrastructure, agricultural production, tourism and business development) have been analised in order to see out overal development potentials of the region, as well economic and geographical potencials. Based on results of this analyses – SMR has all economic and geographical parameters that are needed for successive and equable social and spatial development based on its own resorces with intensive and functional cooperation with other BiH regions and neighbour countries and EU.

Abstract: Many see the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina in joining the European Union, which will be a long procedure. On the Balkan periphery of the Union, Hungary – especially the Southern Trnasdanubian Region – could take on the helping role in this. Tuzla canton (as a result of its geographical situation) is an important elements of the external relations strategy of Southern Transdanubia, therefore the analysis and multilateral recognition of its social-economical relations can be helpful in tightening the already existing bonds of economical, educational and cultural collaboration between the two regions, as well as in the development of new projects. The basis of cooperation between the two regions can be the historical traditions, the geopolitical situation, the given conditions by the main traffic routes and the mutual economical and political interests. At the beginning in the 1990s significant changes took place in the social and economical relations of Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Similar to Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina also has a traditional industrial-agricultural economy before, which had great influence on the function and exterior of the regional units. After 1991 both states – although for different reasons – underwent a change of structure, accompanied by similar chages in society. The purpose of our study is to discover the social-economical changes occuring in Baranya country and Tuzla canton after 1991 and their consequences by means of comparative analysis. The following facts could underline the comparison: the chosen regions have a peripheral location within their countries, having a underdeveloped network of traffic and infrastructure; the previously flourishing economy broke down in both areas, followed by similarly negative demographic procedures; the regional centers Pecs and Tuzla are both cities with universities and also function as the unquestionable economic, cultural-intellectucal and diplomatic sub-centers of their own region. Although Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina have developed under different social-economic conditions, the aim of both countries is the establishment of modern economic activity, to enable the creation of new workplaces and a faster regional development in both countries. Our goal is to disclose the tendencies the development of these two transforming regions could follow and to highlight the areas of further social-economic-educational-cultural cooperation. The exposure of the internal problematic issues includes practical results that can be utilized extensively by the persons involved in the economy, politics and higher education of these regions. Tightening the cooperation of these two regions and the elaboration of common strategies of development could lead to the dissolution of their peripheral position, the shaping of a common Euro-regional way of thinking, and also strengthening their role in bridging the gap between the Balkan and the EU, thus increasing their attractiveness.

Abstract: Contemporary organisation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the aspect of its political-territorial and administrative division in the post-Dayton period, represents a specificity in global terms. Complexity of its system proved to be one of the most important limiting factors of social-economic development and integration into the modern European and world processes. 14 years after signing of Washington Agreement, which preceded constituing of Fedration of Bosnia and Herzegovina as one of the entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are obviously many problems that represent aggravating circumstances for its faster and better development. One of them is multileveled political-territorial division followed by a very complex administrative-political system. This paper gives some of the spatial-functional characteristics of such system and compares them with the principles on which the area of the larger BiH entitiy has been divided into cantons in accordance with the Constitution of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the basis of complex spatial-functional analysis, and in the light of European integration processes, potential directions for reorganization have been pointed out, which would result in adequate and rational regionalisation, as a precondition for such processes at the level of state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
