Analysis of Climate Change in the Area of Vojvodina-Republic of Serbia and Possible Consequences

Climate change conditions a wide range of impacts such as the impact on weather,but also on ecosystems and biodiversity,agriculture and forestry,human health,hydrological regime and energy.In addition to global warming,local factors affecting climate change are being considered.Presentation and analysis of the situation was carried out using geoinformation technologies(radar recording,remote detection,digital terrain modeling,cartographic visualization and geostatistics).This paper describes methods and use of statistical indicators such as LST,NDVI and linear correlations from which it can be concluded that accelerated construction and global warming had an impact on climate change in period from 1987 to 2018 in the area of Vojvodina–Republic of Serbia.Also,using the global SRTM DEM,it is shown how the temperature behaves based on altitude change.Conclusions and possible consequences in nature and society were derived.

Leptospirosis distribution related to freshwater habitats in the Vojvodina region (Republic of Serbia)

The retrospective study (2002-2007) for human leptospirosis in Vojvodina was undertaken in order to describe the distribution of the disease in relation with some environmental factors. Regarding the presented results, the major detected number of leptospirosis cases concurs with stagnant waters, wetlands, fish pond areas and protected regions, which comprised the basis for mapping of the region in three risk zones: very high risk (incidence rate higher than 5.0), high risk (2.5-5.0) and medium risk of leptospirosis infection (1.0-2.5). During the investigated period, 97 cases were registered with an average of 13.85 cases per year: 2002, 32 cases; 2003, 7; 2004, 22; 2005, 16; 2006, 4 and 2007, 16. Out of these 97 cases only 5 were women. Serovars from 11 presumptive serogroups caused infection, with a predominance of Icterohaemorrhagiae and Bratislava, accounting for 72.72% of cases together. Icterohaemorrhagiae was the commonest infecting serogroup mostly connected with fish ponds. Case fatality ratio was 9.4%.

Stari Slankamen--Potential Destination of Nautical Tourism in Serbia

Nautical tourism has a high trend of growth,and the highest growth trend is expected in eastern and south-eastern Europe.It is type of tourism that takes place on water or on the coastline.Nautical tourism in Serbia could include 3,500 km of waterways and 50 km of water surface on various types of lakes,using at least 6,000 km of coastline.Nautical tourism represents a great potential for AP Vojvodina and Serbia,and it is necessary that local governments,private sector,and the state government work together on further development.Two international rivers,the Tisa and the Danube,flow through several European countries and merge at place where Stari Slankamen is located.Stari Slankamen,as a settlement created at the mouth of two rivers,has great potential for the development of nautical tourism,both on the water and on the coastline.In this work,it will be presented all potentials factors for the development of Stari Slankamen as a future destination of nautical tourism in Serbia,as well as all kind of events and hospitality facilities.Furthermore,the attitudes of local residents towards tourism development were examined due to the great importance of support of local population for tourism development at the destination.Strengths,weaknesses,opportunities,and threats(SWOT)analysis presented all strengths and opportunities for developing nautical tourism and weakness and threats as well.Finally,based on examination of observed potentials and residents’attitudes,it will be proposed guidelines and conclusions for the further development of nautical tourism in this part of Serbia.
