Sar Mountain is a vast and complex morphotectonic structure stretching between the south part of the Kosovo basin, the Crnoljeva and Crna Gora Mountains (Skopska Crna Gora and Kumanovo-Presevo Karadrag), the Tetovo (Gornji Polog and Donji Polog) and Metohia-Prizren basins, Mt. Korab (2,764m), Koritnik and the Ljuma region in northeast Albania. Sar Mountain marks the beginning of a separate morphotectonic massif of the Dinaric Alps, known in classical geological and geomorphological literature as the Shar-Pindus mountain system. Its tectonic lines and ranges curve from the south-north direction to southwest-northeast, looming over a deep tectonic depression between the Zeta-Skadar-Medovo littoral and the Metohia-Prizren basin in the Beli Drim river valley, just as on the opposite, northwest side, the Dinaric Alps in the area of the Komovo, Mokra and Prokletija mountains swing over the Zeta plain, the Drim and Metohia from the dominant "Dinaric direction" of northwest-southeast to the "Metohia direction" of southwest-northeast. This creates "the most important transversal valley of the western half of Sar Mountain through which used to run the Zeta Road, the ancient Via de Zenta, the chief transversal route of the Nemanjic state "between the Dinaric and the Sar-Pindus mountain systems, with influences and functions that helped towards diversification of the ethnographic and historical development of the population."
萨山是一个巨大而复杂的形态构造,位于科索沃盆地南部,Crnoljeva和Crna Gora山脉(Skopska Crna Gora和Kumanovo-Presevo Karadrag), Tetovo (Gornji Polog和Donji Polog)和metoia - prizren盆地,Korab山(2,764米),Koritnik和阿尔巴尼亚东北部的Ljuma地区之间。萨山标志着第纳尔阿尔卑斯山脉一个独立的形态构造地块的开始,在经典的地质和地貌文献中被称为沙尔-平都斯山系。它的构造线和山脉从南北方向向西南-东北方向弯曲,隐现在泽塔-斯卡达尔-梅多沃沿岸和贝利姆河谷的梅托希亚-普里兹伦盆地之间的一个深深的构造洼地上,就像在相反的西北侧,科莫沃、莫克拉和普罗克莱蒂亚山脉地区的迪纳里阿尔卑斯山脉在泽塔平原上盘旋一样。从西北-东南的“第纳尔方向”向西南-东北的“Metohia方向”转变。这创造了“萨山西半部最重要的横向山谷,曾经贯穿着Zeta之路,古老的Via de Zenta,涅马尼亚州的主要横向路线”,在Dinaric和Sar- pindus山脉系统之间,其影响和功能有助于民族志的多样化和人口的历史发展。

The basic characteristics of natural increase and migration of the population are being analyzed in this research, with the aim to establish the level of demographic transition in the Raska region in the beginning of 21st century. In the period (1961 - 2002), changes of natural increase are reflecting in the decreasing of birth-rate and the increasing of rate of mortality. One of the most important aims of this research is to answer the question why those differences exist in the natural increase in the population among urban and rural settlements, as well as which are the directions of even regional development. In this research different methods are used (statistics, cartographic, analytics and synthetics), and results of it might have applicable value in the future planning of demographic and economic development of Raska region.

Eastern Serbia, including the Carpathian region, is an area that has been characterized by unfavorable demographic trends for decades. Low reproductive norms in terms of the cultural pattern of ‘one child’, applied from the middle of the 20th century and caused by economic reasons to preserve the estates and the mixed ethnic structure of the population, had the result that this area has had the lowest population growth in the country. The fact that the Carpathian Serbia has traditionally been emigration area is additionally contributed by the negative demographic processes such as depopulation, continuous increase in the average age of the population, more and more unfavorable ratio of young and old populations, reduction in the average population density and concentration of population in urban areas. For purposes of this study, values for the demographic indicators of the population of the Carpathian Serbia are calculated separately at the level of settlements, and in terms of its physical and geographic boundaries.

Cultural values and norms about women, men, gender relations and about femininity and masculinity not only are fundamental in the construction processes of societies; they also shape the constitution and the use of spaces and places from individual to global level. The home, the company, neighbourhoods, public spaces, the labour market, the city, the nation state or the global market: all of these spaces are closely and inextricably characterized by specific activities of women and men, by specific gendered power relations and by specific symbolic meanings of gender. Geographic research should therefore acknowledge gender as an essential basis of analysis. In my statement I will present some recent results of geographic research on gender in Switzerland focusing on the spaces "home", "labour market" and "welfare state". I am convinced that geographic science with its traditional focus on specific socio-spatial contexts at different levels is capable to make substantial contributions to the rapidly developing and inherently interdisciplinary field of gender studies.

Considering the significance of discovering the causes of forest fires, the hypothesis on the solar activity is presented (i.e. physical-chemical characteristics of the solar wind) as the possible cause of these natural disasters. The empirical confirmation of the mentioned hypothesis was disabled by the non existence of an adequate data base on the (regional) distribution of the number of fires and burned areas on the level of Serbia. Therefore an emphasis is put on theoretical explanations, but also on the characteristic situations in which there is an agreement between the processes occurring on the Sun and fire phenomena in the area of Serbia and the Balkans. The formations of the corresponding data base would enable the systematic explanation of endangerment of undeveloped areas of Serbia, but also the confirmation of the solar wind-forest fires hypothesis. The directions of the future multidisciplinary research should be directed towards the models for better prevention.

Landslides are one of the forms of general denudation process. In geographic science this occurrence is also called: talus rock deposit, gliding, or land-slide (in Serbian language also known as 'urnis, lazina, bregolazina'). Land-slides in Serbia are widely expanded. The biggest presence they have in the south-eastern part of Pannonian plain, more precisely on the north slopes of Fruska gora and the part of the Danube basin between Belgrade and Smederevo. The biggest land-sliding complex in Serbia is next to the Danube, in the district of village Brestovik and it is called Rujiste. Land-slides in Smederevo's Danube basin are of recent character and the process itself is recurring because the Danube by eroding right river bank, disrupts repeatedly the stability of the hillslopes. In town district of Smederevo, active talus rock deposit endanger buildings, roads and other infrastructure, industrial and residential objects, orchards, vineyards.

On the state border between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, between municipalities Priboj and Rudo, enclave Sastavci is located, with the area of approximately 400 ha. The enclave Sastavci is officially a part of the Bosnia and Herzegovina, but it is completely surrounded by Serbian territory. This Bosnian "island", at the territory of local community Sastavci, the village Međurecje, belongs to the Bosnian municipality Rudo, but it is under the administration of Serbian municipality Priboj. This border anomaly exists since Berlin's congress in 1878, when Austria-Hungarian got permission to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina. This complicated shape of state border brings many problems to inhabitant’s enclave of Sastavci, and also to most villagers of municipality Priboj. They need to cross a state borders on their way to the center of municipality four times a day. The negotiation between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina about this matter still haven't resulted with positive conclusion.

Results of biological and chemical analysis indicate the degradation of river ecosystems through the city of Užice and downstream.
