The paper presents the typology of rural settlements in the West Herzegovina Canton. Since the middle of the 20th century, the rural areas of the Canton have been facing numerous negative economic and demographic processes. Given that, according to the OECD criteria, they make up over 90% of the county's area, they therefore deserve more attention. Based on the analysis of existing typologies, a new typology was created for the purposes of this paper, which is based on a disaggregated model, and six types of rural settlements were defined based on the analysis of natural geographic and socioeconomic factors.

The diversity of tourism offer in Bosnia and Herzegovina together with disparities in the development of tourism economy from the aspect of geographical research and practical valorization can only be properly addressed through adequate tourism regionalization of the given area. At the same time, tourism regions have the function of geospatial grouping of travel destinations, which in a practical sense can be applicable in terms of marketing and result in a longer stay of tourists in certain regions. In this work, vernacular, landscape and historical criteria were used to define seven tourism regions, which are also closely related to regional identities. These are: Sarajevo, Central Bosnia, Pannonian Bosnia, Krajina, Podrinje, Dinaric Alps and Herzegovina. Their natural and cultural heritage is analyzed from the aspect of tourism potential, constraining factors and the existing level of valorization.

ourism, as a mass phenomenon of the modern times, characterized by poly-functionality, is an important component of national economies associated with all spheres of a society. With its numerous advantages, first in the area of direct economic impact that it has on income growth, employment and balancing of demographic circulation, tourism represents an important development factor of a society. It boosts a multi-layer social transformation that creates a basis for further directional development and strategic planning. This kind of holistic approach, where tourism represents a focal point of various economic elements, is a precondition for successful entrepreneurial growth that will serve as a foundation for the future development of a stable economy. The time distance of several decades makes possible an effective set of ex post and ex ante analysis matrices that enable us to see manifestly the routes taken yesterday, today and tomorrow.. The goal of this thesis is to present a basic longitudinal analysis of Montenegro in its entrepreneurial and economic development, starting from the period of recession and stagnation towards the period of revival and development of solid foundations required to achieve European standards. In addition, it also aims at taking a more detailed look into the ways how to overcome the barriers set up by various social-political circumstances, providing an answer to the questions of what tourism potentials have been used so far and what future directions it should take in order to facilitate its own further development.

The spatial changes that occur in natural lakes have a different features, from a hydrological character (change in lake level, surface, coastline) to microbiological level (flora and fauna in lake waters) as well as water quality. In this paper, we will mainly focus on physical-geographical changes, primarily on the surface of the lake and the displacement of the coastline and the volume of water. The main objective of this paper is understanding of the integrated application of various GIS techniques in monitoring numerous natural objects and their changes through space and time. Also, in this paper, the monitoring of the spatial condition of the Prespa and Dojran lakes during the period from 1985 to 2022, i.e. a period of 37 years, is covered. It is important to note that Dojran Lake has a history of long oscillations in the lake level and a drastic shift of the coastline and return to previous position. In contrast, the situation with Prespa Lake is alarming because, in the last decade, the water level of the lake has been in continuous decline, and since it is mainly a shallow lake, the spatial changes, especially in the shifting of the coastline, are dramatic. This drastic change is a potential threat to the survival of one of the oldest lakes in the Republic of North Macedonia and Europe.

The mesoregion of karst poljas and plateau of the Southwestern Bosnia, compared to other regional units of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is an economically less developed area with a low population density. As the name itself determines, the area abounds in specific karst relief forms that take priority in tourist valorization. As a branch of economy, tourism plays a significant role in the economic development of this area, and a special place for the development of tourism, in addition to geomorphological, belongs to hydrographic forms. It is specifically for this reason that the objective of this paper is to identify the hydrographic tourism potentials and carry out their evaluation in terms of tourism development of this mesoregion. The valorization of constant surface flows and underground streams, wells, springs, and lakes in this paper was performed by using a number of specially selected evaluation parameters in order to make a final assessment, i.e., to determine the tourist value of the potential.

Soluble rocks where karst and genetically related types of relief are represented characterize over 50% of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The karst of Bosnia and Herzegovina is characterized by various shapes, while a great number of different terrains make the "locus typus" of karst in the world. The main tourist motives include numerous caves, springs, mountain peaks and cliffs, canyons and gorges, rivers with travertine waterfalls, and karst fields. Independently or as part of a larger whole, some of these motives represent protected areas, they make the most crucial tourist motives and are the most visited tourist destinations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Doline karst is a widespread karst landscape phenomenon in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but there are only a few sites that are known to the overall population. Through the use of GIS, this study identifies the areas of doline karst in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it explains the ways how sinkholes and doline karstlands are formed and identifies the fundamental factors contributing to their development, but it also highlights the possibilities for making the doline karst a part of the future local tourist offer.

Extracurricular activities of the pupils are particular and specific educational work with students, organized not as a teaching part of school but it is organized on the principles of free choice of the pupils. The aim of the research was to analyze the curricula for primary and secondary schools (for biology as a school subject) and to develop instruments to evaluate the degree of representation of extracurricular activities with the biology curriculum in elementary and secondary schools in Olovo municipality. The students from the sixth to the ninth grade of Primary School "Hasan Kikić", Primary School "Olovo" and high school students of ''Musa Ćazim Ćatić'' High School who attended the subject of biology participated in this research. The research includes the survey methodology and total of 408 students were surveyed. Participation in extracurricular activities has led the student to expand knowledge, mostly in the field of zoology, about diseases (causes, treatment and prevention), ecology and environmental protection, to build a more positive relationship with society and the environment, all with the help of a well-trained teacher who accomplishes good communication with students, whose traits have been slipped during the survey.

Designing electoral districts is never a straightforward task, as many different, often conflicting, principles must be taken into account. In Slovenia, similar population size and geographical and cultural homogeneity are the two main principles on which electoral district/constituency plans must be based. However, as both principles are only vaguely defined, this brings opportunities for their endless politicisation, potentially enabling gerrymandering, on the one hand, and challenges to geographers involved in the electoral districts/constituency design on the other. The experience gained in such a project is briefly presented, highlighting empirical solutions applied to approach the abovementioned challenges. Geoinformatic support plays an essential role in the process of designing electoral districts/constituencies and their versioning. Due to time constraints, it was not possible to fully develop and apply automatic procedures that provide acceptable results. However, our initial attempts suggest that automatic procedures can provide usable results (also in the design of other administrative spatial units) if the rules (the empirical form of the principles) are clearer and less elastic. Another empirical problem, the practical involvement of political parties in the process of electoral districting, has been attempted through a geoinformatic application that allows political parties to create their own district plans, perhaps leading to more problems than solutions.

This paper analyses the characteristics of the housing stock in the urban area of Zadar on the basis of social indicators. The theoretical framework of the paper encompasses a systematic review of the existing theoretical knowledge and empirical research on social indicators, as well as their application in studies of housing standards, the conceptual development of terms and the advancement of scientific cognition with regard to social indicators related to housing issues. The 39 variables available from the 2011 Census led to the formation of 9 social indicators. Said indicators have been displayed as representatives of the “external” characteristics of the housing standard, and later on categorized into composite indicators for further comparison. Areas with extremely low or high variations in housing standards were identified by means of comparison of the indicators. The second part of the paper presents the results of the survey conducted on the basis of 17 composite variables, which were formed with regard to two indicators. In addition to descriptive statistics, variance analysis and chi-squared tests were also used in order to identify the differences between housing quality zones with respect to Category A and Category B fit-outs, the results of which significantly contribute to the understanding of the housing standard. The spatial framework of the study is the settlement of Zadar, which is divided into 41 spatial statistical units, 22 local committees and 3 housing quality zones.
