Soil erosion and wildfires are frequent natural disasters that threaten the environment. Identifying and zoning susceptible areas are crucial for the implementation of preventive measures. The Šar Mountains are a national park with rich biodiversity and various climate zones. Therefore, in addition to protecting the local population from natural disasters, special attention must be given to preserving plant and animal species and their habitats. The first step in this study involved collecting and organizing the data. The second step applied geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS) to evaluate the intensity of erosion using the erosion potential model (EPM) and the wildfire susceptibility index (WSI). The EPM involved the analysis of four thematic maps, and a new index for wildfires was developed, incorporating nine natural and anthropogenic factors. This study introduces a novel approach by integrating the newly developed WSI with the EPM, offering a comprehensive framework for assessing dual natural hazards in a single region using advanced geospatial tools. The third step involved obtaining synthetic maps and comparing the final results with satellite images and field research. For the Šar Mountains (Serbia), high and very high susceptibility to wildfires was identified in 21.3% of the total area. Regarding soil erosion intensity, about 8.2% of the area is affected by intensive erosion, while excessive erosion is present in 2.2% of the study area. The synthetic hazard maps provide valuable insights into the dynamics of the erosive process and areas susceptible to wildfires. The final results can be useful for decision-makers, spatial planners, and emergency management services in implementing anti-erosion measures and improving forest management in the study area.

The planning of high-risk infrastructural facilities in environmentally sensitive and border areas represents one of the most complex challenges of contemporary spatial planning. The Čerkezovac site on Trgovska Gora in Croatia has been considered over the past decades as a potential location for the storage of radioactive waste from the Krško Nuclear Power Plant. However, the lack of transparency in the site selection process and the immediate proximity of the state border with Bosnia and Herzegovina have provoked reactions from civil society organizations, the professional community, and institutional actors, resulting in significant difficulties in the implementation of planning decisions. The aim of this paper is to analyze, from a geographical perspective, the natural and social factors that render Trgovska Gora unsuitable for the realization of such a project. Particular attention is given to the ecological characteristics of the area, potential transboundary impacts, and inconsistencies between national planning documents and the principles of sustainable and responsible spatial planning.

Serbian Danube region is an area that includes a narrow strip of the Danube from the territory of the City of Sombor to the territory of the municipality of Negotin. The largest and most important part of the industry of the Republic of Serbia is concentrated in this area. The development of industry as an economic activity is made possible, first of all, by the favorable geographical location, the concentration of the population and the development of agriculture as a raw material base. The main two poles of development are Belgrade and Novi Sad, while among the secondary poles of development the most important are Pančevo, Smederevo and, more recently, Stara Pazova and Inđija. Industry concentration can be shown by qualitative and quantitative indicators. Among the quantitative indicators, one of the most significant is Hoyt's surplus employment index, a modified industry location coefficient that shows which areas of the processing industry are more or less concentrated in the territories of the local self-governments of the Danube region. The aim of this paper is to analyze the value of the Hoyt index for individual areas of the processing industry of the Serbian Danube region, as well as the analysis of the spatial differentiation of production in the same area.

The Danube region in Serbia includes the narrow area of the Danube's flow through Serbia from the territory of the City of Sombor to the territory of the municipality of Negotin, where the Danube leaves the territory of Serbia. Most of Serbia's industry is concentrated in this area, primarily because of the favorable geographical location that made it possible to locate it. From an organizational point of view, the industry is most concentrated in the large cities of the Danube region, the primary poles of development, namely Belgrade and Novi Sad, then the secondary poles of development, such as Smederevo and Pančevo, and in recent times, Inđija and Stara Pazova. The aim of this paper is to present the organizational structure of the Danube region's industry through ranking methods, the index of organizational concentration of the industry and other quantitative indicators that will clearly show the differences in the organization of the industry among the administrative units of the Serbian Danube region.

Agricultural production is closely related to the climate conditions, and current climate changes significantly affect the conditions and possibility of agricultural production. In this paper the relationship between climate elements (average air temperature, maximum air temperature, precipitation), index (consecutive number of dry days) and the crop yield (wheat, corn, sugar beet, sunflower, beans, potatoes, clover and alfalfa) in the Bačko Podunavlje during period 2005-2015 was analyzed. The results indicate that average and maximum air temperatures have the most significant influence on annual yields. Of the selected crops, sunflower and potato yields are significantly related to temperature conditions. Three directions of agricultural production development have been identified: the absolute grain direction, the dominant grain direction with the participation of industrial crops and the predominant cereal direction with a greater participation of industrial plants. Understanding the connection between climate elements and yields, as well as development directions, can contribute to the adaptation of agricultural production to changed climatic conditions.
