In Serbia the problem of air pollution is particularly prominent in large urban areas, some of which are registered as black spots. Reason for these pollutions is unsuitable and old technology for production, bad quality of motor fuel and insufficient technology (for the reduction of air pollution in the industry and the energy sector). All of the indicated air pollution causes are followed by a low ecological awareness and professional education in the department of milieu.

This paper contains basic characteristics of the geographic location of the municipality of Ljig also including the analysis and estimation of its traffic position. The estimation of the socio-economic position includes the development level of the municipality in the wider surroundings, while the demographic and economic indicators are also included as well as the indicators of common area equipment. The estimation was included by the complex analysis of the location according to geographic rationalization of Serbia, geo morphological conditions, meso-regional position and a transportation system representation (highway traffic arteries - major, regional, local). Nevertheless, the fact about the construction of planned Belgrade-South Adriatic Highway which should go by the center of the municipality has been especially emphasized as well as the fact on the possible suitable and unsuitable consequences this road could have on the further development and gravitational connections. Administrative regionalization of the Republic has served as a basis for the estimation of the socio-economic indicators since the data were given for the municipalities in the District of Kolubara and neighboring ones. The economic indicators, which are general and mostly used in the regional geography (per capita income, employment and their structure) have shown lower values when compared with the surrounding area and thus they have confirmed the insufficient valorization of the geographic location and natural potentials for the municipal development.

Results of previous studies have pointed to a statistically significant relationship between the ionospheric, ie. atmospheric disturbances and earthquakes. Also, numerous previous studies concerning the relationship between the sun's activity and disturbances in the atmosphere have been taken into consideration. Based on these indicators, we tried to determine the possible existence of a causative-effective connection between processes on the sun and the earthquake that occurred on 03 November 2010 near Kraljevo (Serbia). Based on theoretical considerations, a new model is proposed that suggests the occurrence of trigger pulse. The results have shown that at statistically more significant number of samples it would be necessary to determine potential regularity in the changes of the parameters of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), that is solar wind components (SW) a few days before and after the occurrence of strong earthquakes.

Economic geography is one of the most significant and highly ranked social and geographical scientific branches within the educational system of Serbia. Economy is closely related to population and settlement development and thus incorporated within a substantial number of courses, contributing to the educational role of such content. The paper highlights the importance of economic content within contemporary geographical university education in Serbia. The research has been conducted among the students and professors at four universities in Serbia, and the results have shown that the majority of students show indifference towards the content. Therefore, innovations should be introduced in order their interest to be raised and the quality of education improved.

The aim of this paper is to shed more light on population aging by using indicators such as years of service and average years in retirement, since the most benefits from the Fund for Pension and Disability Insurance are paid for elderly. As a method for better understanding the structure of pensioners, we used the data on years one spends as employee before gaining pension benefits, so we could get better information about previous activity of retirees, but also to emphasize legal issues that have increased the number of early retirement recipients. Many countries do not allow early retirement, so the limitation of minimum years required for the early retirement is necessary for reduction of pension spending. Another important characteristic of the financial sustainability of the Fund for Pension and Disability Insurance are the average years in retirement. Given the fact that the life expectancy of the elderly is slightly increasing, it is realistic to expect longer use of pension of old-age and disability pensioners, who are on average younger. Apart from showing the level of financial sustainability of the fund, this indicator shows the characteristics of mortality in the country. Pension Fund data show certain development tendencies that will continue in the future because all processes related to population are long-term, including those related to pensioners that are beside socio-economic, influenced by demographic factors.

Neotectonic activity as crucial factor of geomorphological evolution represents nowadays widely reckognized fact. It is generaly believed and accepted that the study of neotectonics began during first half of the 20th century by Russian scientists in the former Soviet Union. Almost fifty years before the definition and development of neotectonics Jovan Cvijic, a highly distinguished scientific researcher, was making very detailed observations of the youngest tectonic activity in the Balkans. He used these observations to analyse and explain the evolution and characteristics of the contemporaneous topography. Nearly all of Cvijic's geological and morphological studies include detailed neotectonic investigations. Selected examples from Cvijic's glacial studies of the youngest tectonic activity throughout the Balkans are presented to illustrate the detailed nature of his observations and analyses. These examples clearly show that Jovan Cvijic is the true forefather of neotectonics.

Brief review has been presented in the introduction on the related foreign researches, of the greater holiday resorts concentration, which are situated on the attractive localities, within the reach of the usual trip-recreational movements of the urban population, from many industrial European centers. It has also been underlined that along the coastal part of our Danube-Basin following Grocka-Kladovo direction, 49 localities are to be found on the already formed settlements for holiday and recreation. The very same are, in that area, considerably unbalanced territorial distribution, since that they are present in an uneven number at the outskirts of the municipal territories that touch the coastal Danube line. They are much further from its coastal zone. The exception is the locality of Petrovo Selo which is located in the north-western territory part of the municipality of Kladovo. Three clearly close holiday resorts ("Dobra Voda", "Bare" and "Poljana") have been gathered spatially on relatively low (400-450 m altitude), north-eastern slopes of mountain Miroc. Thus they make the region of Miroc very attractive for resort and recreation, which is being treated mainly from the aspect of important geographical touristic characteristics. They are consisting of different number recently built and previously inhabited old houses, which have been refurbished (remodeled). They are also distinctive regarding their spatial disposition, considering its particular settlement spreading. Therefore they are mutually differentiated as by their chronological characteristics of building, general spatial physiognomy so in the respect of morpho-typological modification in the sub-mountain terrain of mountain Miroc.

As a consequence of the new political world geography, today we can reflect about the relationship that links geopolitics and geoeconomy, both on a global scale and in the European enlargement process. There is a number of participators in European tourism on the beginning of the 21st century. Many international organizations and commissions are directing tourism development today. Some countries leave their old principles and practice and they adjust on common European interests. Furthermore, development plans, which observe tourism in line with spatial, economical and social development, are made in Europe. One of them is a famous plan FORCE that associates development activities and stimulates tourism development in Europe. So, Europe has a tendency to explore all production potential and to reinforce the tourism on national, regional and local level.

Protection of environment is particularly important for plains where agriculture and industry are developed, population density is high and land use is intensive. Drainage is generally controlled against frequent floods and high ground water. In addition, irrigation systems are developed for agriculture. Consequently, few water bodies have retained their natural shape and function. Even these are used to receive excessive stream flows and to balance the hydrologic system. Because water resources are vital for any environment, the purpose of their maintenance and protection in the original form is not only landscape conservation but also environmental protection. An example is given of the Mostonga meander relicts.
