The disintegration of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) affected Montenegro, which was once part of it. Some geographical changes were positive after the breakup, some were not. Today, the Republic of Montenegro is a candidate for membership of the European Union and a member of NATO. The paper analyzes the changes in the characteristics of the population of the Republic of Montenegro while it was part of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and after independence. The data is used from Statistical Yearbooks from 1948 to 2011. For digital mapping ArcGis 10.2 is used with Kriging statistical analyse. In addition to depopulation, Montenegro is also facing intense population emigration, especially from the northern regions that are close to the border with Serbia. The plan is to hold the next population census, which should show a decrease in the number of inhabitants and an increase in the average age. This population declining is a problem which dealing most of Western Balkan countries.

This study aims to present and analyse several descriptions of snow cover conditions on Vitosha Mountain over the last five centuries. It uses the written historical sources and diachronic method. They are discussed in the context of available climate and environmental data for Bulgaria and the adjacent areas of the Balkans during the Little Ice Age (LIA). It can be concluded from the presented descriptions of Vitosha during the LIA that probably in the 17th and early 18th centuries Vitosha had significantly longer snow retention with the presence of permanent or semi-permanent snow patches, a situation that is significantly different from the present environmental conditions. The analysis of the climatic conditions during the LIA in other regions of Bulgaria, as well as in neighboring countries in the Balkans, shows that during this period, especially in the southern parts of the Balkan Peninsula, there was a significant climate cooling. Future studies of the (high resolution) natural archives in Bulgaria are needed to provide more information about the nature of climatic and environmental changes during the LIA.

This article addresses the issue of childbirth postponement in Serbia. The paper examines the interaction of demographic and socioeconomic factors as relevant indicators of demographic development. In the case of seven municipalities in the Srem region, the authors sought to determine the causes of putting off childbirth and examine the attitudes of the female population, considering their decision not to give birth. The paper pursues to provide answers to the problems of the postponement of childbirth phenomenon, the economic resources needed for birth, the importance of the institutional framework and the changing role of women in society, which directly affect women's reproductive behavior. Research findings can be integrated into development strategies, which include both population policy and family planning measures, from the level of an individual to the extent of the community.

Overtourism is a current phenomenon which also includes crowds of people in a tourist destination. This research analyzes overtourism to a much visited tourist objective through Tripadvisor reviews, by highlighting the key concepts which are suggesting the existence of the overtourism phenomenon. The method consisted to examine the reviews posted on Tripadvisor by the tourists who visited one of the most important tourist attractions in Prague, namely Charles Bridge. The tool used for this purpose was Leximancer program. Using an analysis from multiple perspectives (during the 2019 low and peak tourist season, and during the Covid-19 pandemic), the results of the concept maps captured the intensity of the phenomenon of overtourism in all three contexts. Thus, specific themes and concepts generated by the program suggest that Carles Bridge suffers from overtourism regardless of the tourist season.

The Northern Indian Plains are facing severe environmental challenges that threaten the health and well-being of millions of people in the region. Deforestation, soil degradation, water pollution and scarcity, and poor air quality are some of the major environmental issues that require urgent attention. Deforestation in the region has resulted in the loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and reduced water availability. Soil degradation is another major issue in the region, resulting from unsustainable agricultural practices, overuse of chemical fertilizers, and erosion caused by deforestation. It has also reduced soil fertility, resulting in lower crop yields and reduced agricultural productivity. Using chemical fertilizers and pesticides has also led to water pollution, affecting the health of people and animals who rely on these water sources. Water scarcity and pollution are major challenges in the region, with many people having limited access to clean and safe drinking water. The pollution of water sources due to industrial and agricultural activities has further compounded the problem, leading to waterborne diseases and various health issues. Finally, air pollution is a major environmental challenge in the Northern Indian Plains, with high levels of particulate matter and other pollutants affecting people's health in the region. Burning crops, vehicular emissions, and industrial activities contribute to poor air quality, leading to respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular disease, and other health issues. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the mentioned environmental challenges in the Northern India Plains by utilizing contemporary literature and evidence-based research to establish its findings.

The structure of land cover in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and the Republic of Serbia has been constantly changing due to a number of different factors. The war profoundly influenced life, particularly the socio-economic structure, which furthermore has a meaningful impact on current land cover. In this research CORINE land cover (CLC) databases are used (from 2000 to 2018) for analysis and comparison of land cover in the aforementioned countries. The analysis is conducted by ArcGIS Pro 2.9.0 software to interpret changes in land cover over the period 2000-2018. The result showed that in the period from 2000 to 2018 agricultural land has a trend of a significant decrease in both countries. In addition, artificial surfaces enlarged their surface, especially to the detriment of all agricultural categories which is directly linked with the process of the post-war reconstruction of the countries. In this paper, land cover changes in Serbia and BiH that occurred during the period 2000-2018 are analyzed and presented in graphical forms. The results show that the period 2000-2006 has undergone the most intense changes. A total of 1,223.14 km2 of agricultural land was transferred to other types of land cover in Serbia in the period 2000-2006 while in BiH it amounted to 1,045.76 km2 . Most of these changes can be attributed to the past war and its implications, but also to the challenges of the current economic situation. The CLC database established in this way serves as a necessary framework for providing information on vulnerable ecosystems and habitats, as well as a basis for regional spatial planning, natural resource inventory and environmental monitoring.
由于若干不同的因素，波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那(波黑)和塞尔维亚共和国的土地覆盖结构一直在不断变化。战争深刻地影响了生活，特别是社会经济结构，这进一步对目前的土地覆盖产生了重大影响。本研究使用CORINE土地覆盖(CLC)数据库(2000 - 2018年)对上述国家的土地覆盖进行分析和比较。该分析是通过ArcGIS Pro 2.9.0软件进行的，以解释2000-2018年期间土地覆盖的变化。结果表明，2000 - 2018年，两国农业用地均有显著减少的趋势。此外，人造地面扩大了它们的表面，特别是损害了与各国战后重建进程直接相关的所有农业类别。本文对塞尔维亚和波黑2000-2018年期间的土地覆盖变化进行了分析，并以图形形式呈现。结果表明，2000-2006年期间变化最为剧烈。2000-2006年期间，塞尔维亚总共有1,223.14平方公里的农业用地被转移为其他类型的土地覆盖，而波黑则为1,045.76平方公里。这些变化大部分可归因于过去的战争及其影响，但也可归因于当前经济形势的挑战。通过这种方式建立的CLC数据库是提供脆弱生态系统和生境信息的必要框架，也是区域空间规划、自然资源清查和环境监测的基础。

Serbia has significant potential for the development of wine tourism. Wine tours, which are increasingly common forms of tourist attractions, both for domestic and foreign tourists, occupy a significant role on the tourist map of the country. The development of local vineyards, through the promotion of the best wines, represents the next significant step that will raise wine tourism in Serbia to an even higher level. Precisely for this reason, the main subject of this paper is the sensory evaluation of four local wines from the Vrtogos wine region of the Stari Dani winery, which is located in city Bujanovac in the very south of Serbia. Sensory evaluation of quality was carried out by trained tasters, who had the task of evaluating the potential they have for the development of wine tourism. Four types of wine were selected for the experiment, produced from commonly known grape varieties, but with an authentic and recognizable identity. The main goal is to show the sensory characteristics of the selected wines and compare their ratings, which can show whether the given wines have the potential to be drawn on the tourist map of Serbia and become an integral part of the hospitality and tourism offer.

Kenya' tourism industry is predominantly based on nature and founded on protected areas (PAs) model. However, climatic changes through unstable temperature as well as rainfall patterns have the potential to cause declines in wildlife populations in these PAs. Climate change poses exceptional social, cultural as well as environmental challenges. In Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve (MMNR), a combined number of factors including climate change, human population pressure on wildlife dispersal areas including human wildlife conflict has resulted in catastrophic declines in wildlife populations. The study investigated MMNR host community perceptions oaround climate change impacts of on natural resources and sustainability of tourism. This is because regional knowledge gaps exist in research on climate change impacts on tourism. Exploratory research design was adopted. This research used quantitative data and hence exploratory approach was considered suitable. Simple random sampling was adopted to sample 399 heads of households who filled the questionnaires. Using SPSS V.23, descriptive as well as inferential statistics was adopted to analyze quantitative data. The relationship between the variables was determined using linear regression. The study findings indicate a positive as well as significant relationship on the two variables of natural resources and tourism sustainability as evidenced by the values (b=0.393 and p=0.000). Also, the coefficient of determination (R squared) shows 39.5% variation in sustainability of tourism can be attributed to climate change as indicated in Table 3. The study findings raises the need for strategic initiatives and considerations for developing alternative wildlife based tourism products in the advent of declines in wildlife populations as a result of erratic rainfall and temperature patterns.
