Abstract:The cultural and historical heritage of an area represents a significant
part of the lives and work of the population living in that area. In
addition to being an integral part of the local identity, it also has
tourist significance. The Municipality of Pale (Bosnia and Herzegovina) has
significant cultural resources and as such has higher prerequisites for
developing various types of tourist activities. The aim of the research
presented in this paper is to determine the attitudes of the resi… Show more
“…By undermining the current interdisciplinary character of heritage management and architecture conservation [70,71], the university education lacks in a practical perspective on the matter. The existing need for acquiring competences and skills to participate in the preservation of cultural heritage various institutions, public agencies, NGOs, but particularly Universities should make commitment to training and raising public awareness, especially among youth [72].…”
The noticeable urgent need for the preservation of collective and cultural memory in Europe, coupled with a fear of loss of important aspects of heritage, indicates the importance of educating the youth who will become future policymakers in the field. Analyses of the survey conducted through this research show the current perspective of youth on the typology of World War II memorials on the territories of the former republics, now independent states, of SFR Yugoslavia in Southeast Europe. Targeting architecture and civil engineering students as a specific youth group who are directly involved in learning about the built memorial structures, as well as the phenomenological background of space, creation of place and memories, resulted in a qualitative observation of the group’s understanding and judgement of the topic. This article investigates the level of knowledge and emotional response to memorial heritage within the target group. It addresses relevant issues of age, gender, level of study, and respondents’ backgrounds, demonstrating the existence of an initial interest in memorial heritage among the architecture-oriented youth. With an additional focus on a possible active role in heritage preservation and future placement, the research indicates a segment in the youth’s comprehension of valuable memorial heritage that needs to be improved.

“…This paper aims to achieve significant results regarding the role of SNR Gornje Podunavlje for sustainable tourism development by applying quantitative methodology and descriptive statistics. The attitudes of the respondents collected by this method may indicate to significant phenomena in the environment (Grmuša, Šušnjar, & Lukić Tanović, 2020;Jojić Glavonjić, Todorić, Doljak, & Golubović, 2017). The results of the research can contribute to future research on the role of protected natural areas for sustainable tourism development.…”
Special Nature Reserve (SNR) Gornje Podunavlje is located in the northwestern
part of Serbia, on the left bank of the Danube, along the border of Croatia
and Serbia. This area is a significant spatial unit for the development of
nature-based tourism and ecotourism. It is part of Backo Podunavlje
Biosphere Reserve, protected by UNESCO, and a wider area of Transboundary
Biosphere Reserve Mura-Drava- Danube, which includes 10 protected natural
areas in five countries. The research aims to examine the attitudes of the
local population about the state of sustainable tourism development in the
SNR Gornje Podunavlje using a questionnaire. A total of 205 respondents
expressed their satisfaction with the environmental, economic, and
socio-cultural aspects of sustainability. After quantitative analysis, the
results of the research can provide nature conservation guidelines and
specify the role of protected natural areas in sustainable tourism
development. As the most important dimensions of sustainability, the
residents highlighted the Socio-cultural and Institutional dimensions of
sustainable tourism development. Slightly lower values, according to the
attitudes of residents, were given to Environmental and Economic
sustainability. The results of the research indicate that this destination
can be important for the development of sustainable tourism. By adopting the
planned management measures, this protected natural area can be a
significant destination for ecotourism and other forms of nature-based
tourism.
“…GIS and remote sensing technologies map the spatial variability of flooding events and the resulting hazards approaches. Moreover, tourism has a vital role in preserving cultural and historical heritage (Grmuša et al, 2020).…”
The study aims to find a key to the problem of managing cultural heritage systems in the example of the Temnikov-Sanaksar cluster located in Eastern Europe. This area is situated between the forest-steppe of the layered-tier Volga upland and the forest geosystems of the layered Oka-Don lowland. The article applies an interdisciplinary approach to solving the problem of optimizing inter-component relationships in the meta-geosystems of tourist and recreational clusters. The sustainable development of meta-geosystems should be based on multifactorial information support, which implements the most important condition for the effective economic development of landscapes through the formation of the regions’ spatial data infrastructure. In order to consistently optimize meta-geosystems of different hierarchical levels, it is necessary to solve several emerging issues, such as assessing the strength and nature of inter-component connections in geosystems, determination of factors describing the territorial variation of the properties of geosystems, interpreting and substantiation the semantics of the selected basic factors.
