Одрживи развој заштићених руралних простора Србије, односно административних територија насеља која припадају њиховом геопросторном обухвату, подразумева интеграцију низа фундаменталних и апликативних проблема и циљева...
Sustainable development of the protected rural area of Serbia, or belonging
settlements and administrative territories, implies the integration of a range of
fundamental and applied problems and objectives, characteristic as per scientific
complexity and social importance, so the growing topicality as well. Problem-solving
and spatial framework of the research is motivated by the perception of this issue as a
scientifically and empirically demanding, integrated, non-schematic, challenging and
socially useful. Also, with the conviction that the theoretical and methodological
assumptions of modern science on the environment – its fundamental (environment,
geoecology, anthropogeography and others), and applicational (nature protection,
sustainable development, urban planning, practice of social development, GIS and
others) disciplines, it is possible to solve this multi-disciplinary oriented subject.
Writing of the thesis is followed by the continuity of transformation and expansion of
th...e epistemological/ontological and theoretical/applicational properties as the
environmental science and its core disciplines, so as the normative planning practice of
the protection of space.
The applied approach of the perception of system „protected landscape areas –
rural areas – sustainable development“ has been extended to the position of
anthropocentrism (the paradigm of human excellence) as a determinant value of
geospace. The anthropocentric approach, in addition to the importance of original
nature, also implies the value of traditional and environmentally friendly economic,
settlement, demographic and other potentials. That is why, instead of protection in the
spirit of ecology and conservation, the preferred forms and mechanisms of sustainable,
that is channeled and controlled, development have been proposed with holding the
consistency principle – focus on specific values of individual protected territories. This
view of the sustainability, by nature, is close to geographers, environmental
geographers, social ecologists, tourism experts, spatial planners, demographers,
economists and others.
Starting from the hypothesis that environmental restrictions aimed at rural areas
do not harm the opportunities for their development and do not threaten existential
security of the population, an ecological-geographic approach of environmental
management in rural areas whose territories partially or completely belong to the
protected areas in the Republic of Serbia, was proposed in dissertation. The researches
have shown that current models of the protected rural areas management are
characterized by exaggerated formal, or normative-planning, and at the same time de
facto dysfunctional environmental protection. Long-term effects of this situation have
often degraded rare and valuable elements of nature as motives of protection and
enlarged developmental disproportions in the territory of Serbia. The empirical
researches of diverse and representative model systems clearly show that , in the
past, the numerous inherited and generated new negative effects of the importance
for the environmental and socio-economic status of the protected rural areas of
Serbia have survived.
IV
The cumulative effects of the above mentioned processes (at the local level) are
well advanced environmental degradation and economic and settlement-demographic
devastation of these areas, which at the regional and national level encourage the
deepening and complexity of development issues. In contrast, the proposed model of
sustainable development of the protected rural areas of Serbia contributes to
enlargement of rational and environmentally justified valorization of the national
territory and the total development potentials. By a such practice, their sustainable
development, would, by the mechanisms of the desired direction and control (by type
and intensity), reduce current developmental delay and poverty level, and increase the
ability of local communities towards a rational and purposeful use of resources with the
ultimate objective of their preservation. So far adopted planning documents in Serbia do
not explicitly deal with sustainable development of the rural areas in spatial coverage of
the protected areas. In this sense, the necessity of making this type of documents would
represent the starting point for the proper management of these territories in the
direction of finding a solution that would allow the survival of the settlements, and
which revitalization would contribute to major development opportunities of the
protected area.
The market economy as decentralized and privatizing model of development and
other effects of the transition of society, were reflected in unrealistic valuation of
environmental services and protection of space. Therefore, it was necessary to
investigate the mechanisms and move the initiative in the direction of redefition of the
mutual relation and total ecological and social role of the protected rural areas of Serbia.
Such starting points in further considerations imply that these areas should not be
observed and treated only as parts (elements) of particularly valuable and important
territories in the function of protection, which is often accentuated approach, but as
potentially significant development projects.
The presented starting points, analyses, results and proposed models suggest that
the thesis had two spatial and problem solutions – in order to give the solution for the
empirical issues of the local scope and theoretical issues of regional and global scope.
The results can serve as a basis for future research papers, with the aim of a more
complex analysis and verification of directions and opportunities for sustainable
development of the protected rural areas of Serbia. This paper presents an attempt to
answer another request – basic axiological assumption that its results are practically
useful as well. The above mentioned gains importance in the way that these issues are
taken into consideration in, for them, time of crisis, in which the crisis is not only
manifested by accumulated problems, but also acute shortage of ideas and resources for
their research and solving.
