Basic geological and geomorphological characteristics of Ljig municipality for the needs of spatial planning

Ljig municipality is situated in central Serbia, in the area of low hills at the southern rim of the Pannonian basin. The paper gives the overview of geological composition of municipal territory (through listed lithological elements, with lithological map), as well as the basic types of groundwater aquifers (intergranular, fissured and karstic). Geomorphological part of the paper offers the hypsometrical analysis (hilly areas at the altitudes from 200 to 500 m a.s.l. are dominant), as well as the relief exposures (northwestern, western and northern exposures are dominant), with the accompanying maps. Apart from that, there is a genetic overview of relief: it was formed by fluvial processes (dominant type), mass-movements, and karstic process. In the conclusion, the potential use of particular geomorphological units is described, with the practical suggestions. The dominant river valleys are in the function of transport infrastructure, while hills are favorable for fruit-growing. Landslides are the main limiting factor in the areas of contacts between valley slopes and alluvial plains. Gulling character of most river courses, as well as dangers from floods, are the limitations as well.
