The global trend of reducing the “carbon footprint” has influenced the dynamic development of projects utilizing renewable energy sources (RES), including the expansion of solar energy in large-scale solar power plants. This has led to the need for assessing the impacts these projects have on the space and the environment. The book notes that proje...

At a time of increasing use of renewable energy sources in the production of electricity, including the expansion of wind energy, there is a need to examine the impact that projects in the field of renewable energy resources have on the environment. Although it is mainly the positive impact of projects in this field that are spoken and written abou...

Заштита животне средине и здравља људи данас су приоритетни задаци савременог друштва. Проблеми који у том контексту може створити неадекватно поступање с отпадом су несагледиви. Решавање управљања комуналним отпадом се из тог разлога налази у сфери посебног друштвеног интереса и тражи целовит плански приступ. Имајући у виду да простор опредељује к...

Global warming and climate change cause large temperature oscillations and uneven annual rainfall patterns. The rainy cycles characterized by frequent high-intensity rainfall in the area of the Stubo–Rovni water reservoir, which in 2014 peaked at 129 mm of water in 24 h (the City of Valjevo, the Republic of Serbia), caused major floods in the wider...

The global trend of reducing the “carbon footprint” has influenced the dynamic development of projects that use renewable energy sources, including the development of solar energy in large solar power plants. Consequently, there is an increasingly pronounced need in scientific circles to consider the impact these projects have on space and the envi...

Although wind farms have an undeniable beneficial impact on the environment, certain negative environmental implications do appear as a consequence of their operation. One of them is the production of noise. The wind farm noise values decrease with distance, so that at a certain point they are within the legally prescribed limits. This is the case...

Erosion is one of the main causes of soil degradation and sediment production. The amount of eroded material that reaches rivers and lakes depends on the terrain but also on the climatic and hydrological characteristics of the basin, as well as the applied land management method. The intensity of sediment production is in direct correlation with th...

Apart from wind potential, there are many other spatial factors which impact the possible implementation of wind farm projects. The spatial advantages and limitations of these factors can be used as criteria for selecting the most suitable location for a potential wind farm. The specific method for evaluating wind farm locations in this paper is no...

This method has so far been applied in seven Dinaric Arc countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania and...

Determining the spatial position of wind turbines is the initial and most important phase in the development of a wind farm project. In this sensitive phase, all potential problems that may arise in the later stages of project development should be prevented by means of spatial and urban planning instruments. This makes it possible to achieve maxim...

Spatial determination planning is at an initial and very sensitive step in the development of wind farms. On one hand, it is important to maximize the potential of wind in a particular area, and on the other hand, it is important to achieve environmental protection (including the human population and natural heritage) in the same space at the same...

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), as a support to strategic planning, is a starting point in the creation of a sustainable concept of managing waste that is based on the principles of a circular economy. The role of SEA is to guide the planning process towards the goal of securing the best effects in relation to the quality of the living en...

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for waste management planning (WMP) has been applied around the world for fifteen years now. In addition to identifying potential trends in space and the environment by means of WMP, the SEA process contributes to involving the general public in issues relevant to the environment. In turn, the endpoint of th...
