Social integration of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Croats in Croatia on the example of Okrug Gornji The paper deals with the social integration of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Croats in Croatia on the example of the settlement of Okrug Gornji as a case study. Correlating the theoretical approaches of human geography and identity studies, the article deals with the phenomenon of migration as a research object in human geography through the relation of ethnic and regional identity as the factors of social integration of the immigrant population. The research proved that B&H Croats are mostly successfully integrated into the social context of Gornji Okrug without forms of spatial and social ghettoization. Being stronger than regional, the common ethnic (and religious) identity of domicile and immigrant population gives a positive impetus for successful integration of the immigrants.

The position of regional geography in the system of geographical sciences is a topic that has been the subject of intense epistemologically and methodologically focused discussion within scientific realm at the global level since the middle of the 20th century. The initial outcome of these processes at the academic level was the marginalization of regional geography in the study of spatial phenomena, but since then there was a partial revitalization of the regional approach. In view of these changes, the place of regional geography within geographical education also began to be problematized. In this paper, it is conducted a critical review of selected academic articles from the last few decades that at least in a certain segment touch on this topic, as well as analysis of recent trends in school geography. This analysis suggests that it is difficult to find an adequate replacement for regional content, especially in the geographical education at lower levels of education, and that in many countries it still represents the basis or at least an important part of the geographical curriculum. However, at the same time, the need for change of teaching approach based on the excessive so-called regional inventory of space, by introducing general geographical concepts in the study of regional units of various levels, and putting them in the service of the development of critical thinking in students.

Education reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina began in 2003, when the process of adopting the Framework Law on Education started. Reforms emerged as a need after the war (1992-1995) and the establishment of a new administrative and political arrangement in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this paper is to analyze the representation of ecological contents, teaching units, topics and lessons in the modern geography curriculum in elementary schools, which contribute to the development of pupils' awareness of the need for environmental protection. The analysis of the objectives and outcomes of learning geography curricula has shown, among other things, the emphasis or accent on environmental education and upbringing. During the work it was noted that teachers have quite enough motives, and certain progress in the realization of ecological activities in teaching geography of Sarajevo primary schools, however, more effort is needed in order to achieve all the aforementioned advantages of ecological education and upbringing.

Electoral laws governing the election of members to the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina roughly follow the consociational model of institutional arrangements in ethnically divided societies. The existing laws have been widely criticized since its introduction in 1996. Most problematic is the restriction of passive and active voting rights of segments of the electorate. The legislation makes it impossible for voters to vote for representatives of their nationality or to run as candidates for their own national community. In this article, we want to investigate whether the dissatisfaction of this group of voter’s manifests in lower voter turnout and a larger number of invalid ballots. Analysis of election results in the 2018 election reveals a weak correlation between the share of “unrepresented voters” and voter turnout. Consequently, it can be argued that voter dissatisfaction with the electoral system is not reflected in reduced voter turnout. The opposite is true for the share of invalid ballots. The share of “unrepresented voters” and the share of invalid ballots shows a moderately strong correlation. Consequently, we can conclude that many voters, who are prevented by the electoral system from voting for a representative of their nationality, express their protest by casting an invalid ballot.

The municipality of Srebrenica stretches along the central part of the Drina River in the northeastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is connected via road with Zvornik, Bijeljina, Tuzla, and Sarajevo, and across the bridge on the river Drina with the municipality of Bajina Basta in the Republic of Serbia. The area of the municipality of Srebrenica has significant natural resources, ores, and minerals, forests, and waters. In this article, we have done an economicgeographical classification of natural resources based on the possibilities of their use. The article represents a contribution to the theoretical and practical research of modern processes of the economic-geographical development of the municipality of Srebrenica. Based on field research, previous knowledge, and various information and documents, we analyzed the spatial distribution of economic resources. By analyzing the spatial distribution of economic resources, we also presented their economic value and proposed guidelines for further use and protection.

Selected cases of subaqueous soils in Slovenian coastal waters The soil is mainly on the mainland, but also in shallow waters, the so-called subaqueous soils. Subaqueous soils form under the water surface, mainly on the bottom of shallow, stagnant waters such as bogs, swamps, lakes, and sea shallows. In St. Bartholomew, three subaqueous soil profiles were studied to investigate them in detail. The sites for recording the soil profiles were selected at random, with the aim of finding a different type of vegetation at each site. We found that the soils were influenced by almost the same factors of subaqueous soil formation; thus, the same soil forming processes of different intensity took place. Therefore, the same, very similar types of subaqueous soils were developed at each site. All samples were collected underwater using drainage pipes and by excavation. The samples were drained in the pipes. In the laboratory, visual observations and standard analysis were performed according to the horizons determined. According to the WRB classification, subaqueous soils in Slovenian coastal waters were classified asreference groups Gleysols and, Arenosols.

Environmental protection is one of the priorities in the curricula of all educational levels. Assuming that students do not show a sufficiently positive attitude towards the environment, it is necessary to point out the need for a better approach in the adoption of these contents. The aim of the research is to find out to what extent the mentioned values are present in the thinking and actions of children, in order to determine the way understanding of environmental consciousness is present. A pilot survey was conducted on a sample of 80 students from the 5th to the 8th grade. It has been confirmed that environmental values are known and acceptable to students, but their behavior is not based entirely on them. The analysis has shown that the environmental contents are not sufficiently used .

Novi Sad is the second-most populous city in Serbia. As an urban entity, and an immigration factor, its importance increased after the break-up of the former Yugoslavia. Due to the immigration of inhabitants, both from the former republics of Yugoslavia and from other parts of Serbia, population growth has led to morphological changes. The city expanded towards Futog, Rumenci and Bački Jarak. In addition, the city has undergone significant changes in the internal physiognomy, in the central parts of the city, as well as in the other parts. In the central parts of the city, efforts are being made to preserve old architectural buildings. However, in the eighties of the last century, the demolition of old buildings in the center began. In their place, they sprouted buildings of modern architecture, which do not fit into the previous style of construction, pertaining to the late 19th and early 20th century. This trend continued later throughout the 21st century. Particularly evident are the changes in the shift of individual, collective construction, which is characteristic of the center itself and the narrower and broader surroundings of the city's central parts. Collective housing facilities are springing up all over Novi Sad, depending on the investor. The style of construction is changing, as well as the purpose of some urban spaces. An additional problem is the increasing traffic load and congestion of roads, especially during the time of getting to school and work, as well as the time of return. These are just some of the apparent issues that Novi Sad faced in the post-socialist period, which need to be solved for the sustainability of an organized city.
诺维萨德是塞尔维亚人口第二多的城市。作为一个城市实体和一个移民因素，其重要性在前南斯拉夫解体后增加了。由于来自前南斯拉夫共和国和塞尔维亚其他地区的居民的移民，人口增长导致了形态变化。城市扩展到Futog, Rumenci和ba ki Jarak。此外，城市的内部面貌发生了重大变化，在城市的中心部分，以及在其他部分。在城市的中心地区，人们正在努力保护老建筑。然而，在上世纪八十年代，市中心的旧建筑开始被拆除。取而代之的是现代建筑，这些建筑不符合19世纪末和20世纪初的建筑风格。这一趋势在21世纪后期持续了下来。尤其明显的是个体、集体建设的转变，这是中心本身以及城市中心部分狭窄和广阔的环境的特征。集体住房设施如雨后春笋般在诺维萨德遍地开花，这取决于投资者。建筑风格在变化，一些城市空间的用途也在变化。另一个问题是日益增加的交通负荷和道路拥堵，特别是在上学和工作以及返回的时间。这些只是诺维萨德在后社会主义时期面临的一些明显问题，为了一个有组织的城市的可持续性，这些问题需要得到解决。

The concept of sustainable tourism development presupposes constant endeavour, ongoing monitoring, and improvement of all stakeholders involved in order to minimize the negative and maximize the positive effects of tourism. The authors of the paper examine a case study of the area of Goriška Brda (municipality of Brda), located in the western part of Slovenia along the border with Italy, where the predominant (traditional) economic activity is agriculture, and more recently tourism as well. The question is whether the development of tourism in Brda has been sustainable, and how it has affected the life of the local population. What are the perceptions of the local residents of the various effects of tourism in their municipality? Analysis of the state of tourism and a survey research on a representative sample of the local population highlighted predominantly positive influences and consequently positive perceptions. Many inhabitants of the Brda municipality are directly or indirectly dependent on tourism, so they are willing to overlook or minimize the existing negative effects.

Electoral Geography as part of political geography has not been significantly represented as a subject of research in Croatia and neighboring countries, and there is, in particular, a shortage of papers that deal with the in depth analysis of the spatial components of elections. Therefore, the subject of this paper is an analysis of certain demographic indicators or factors and their impact on the spatial distribution of votes in US presidential elections, in the period from 2004 until the last elections in 2016. The selected include racial structure, emphasized in this paper, age-gender structure and urban-rural differences. Analysis has shown that some of the mentioned factors have a greater impact on spatial distribution of votes, having in mind that the racial structure is the starting point for observing spatial distribution of votes and is hierarchically superior to the other observed factors. People of the same racial origin generally have similar voting preferences, and the other factors mostly depend on that factor.
