“…The set of 46 satellite filtered recordings showed average state of land surface of the UAE (Wang 1990;Keuchel et al 2003;Zhong and Zhang 2012;Atkinson 2004). Remote sensing with GIS techniques is a very powerful tool for quantifying and describing environmental data of a geospace (Valjarević et al 2018a;Wan 2015;Young et al 2013;Liu 2021;Milanović et al 2017). NDVI data when downloaded from the Landsat 8 satellite are used for future precise remote sensing observation.…”

In a fast growing region of Middle East and with rapid depletion of fossil groundwater, possibilities for dew utilization as a limited renewable water resource play an important role in the water management of the United Arab Emirates. Despite projected changes in air temperature and rainfall, geographical and topographical features of the UAE show some potential for dew harvesting, mostly at the altitudes higher than 1000 m and some isolated oasis areas. With the help of geographical information system (GIS), remote sensing, and numerical and theoretical methods, approximate volumes of dew were estimated. Meteorological data was inputted together with theoretical and numerical calculations into grids by using pixelization processes. Methods such as zonal statistics, kriging, semi-kriging, and interpolation were implemented through GIS software. Another method used in this research is supervised classification and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) which is being determined by means of software IDRISI terra set. After finishing all the proposed methods applied in this research, four belts of potential dew use were presented. The Arabian Desert in the territory of the United Arab Emirates has no potential for dew utilization. The zone close to the oases has very low possibility of dew use. The hilly-mountainous area between 500 and 800 m.a.s.l. has medium possibility for dew use. There is a high possibility for dew use on mountain Al Hajar, occupying the area higher than 800 m; 1.3% of the whole country's territory has excellent potential for dew use. In this part of the country, theoretically, it is possible to use dew for farming and partial watering. Experimental study together with GIS, remote sensing, and numerical analysis may extend knowledge about dew properties. Although this research includes theoretical calculations of dew utilization and has some limitations, it still presents a new insight into climate cycles in this part of the Arabian Peninsula and a way to understand them better.

“…Today, there are plenty of methods which would be useful in DEM estimation, segregation and calculations (Valjarević et al, 2018a;Abrams, 2010;Schneider et al, 2014;Valjarević et al, 2018b). The analysis of relief conducted by special DEM calculations may be applied onto many areas of geospatial sciences (Milanović et al, 2017;Lukić et al, 2009).…”

The basin of Sitnica river represents a good option for chartometric investigation. In modern hydrology, digital and GIS analyses play very important role today. In this research we were able to obtain the main properties of the river basin and river network with the help of digital line generalization. The results from the two kind of maps with two scales 1:25.000 and 1:50.000 showed differences in length of the main river Sitnica and its tributaries. These differences may be included into the analysis of the Sitnica river network. For the first time it was concluded that the Sitnica river has bi-polar dendritic parallel network. The 80% of right tributaries have angles between 2° and 5° degrees in direction of the Sitnica river. The left tributaries have angles between 1° and 2° degrees with the main water-course.

“…Respondents agreed with the view that geography should be represented in the educational system of Serbia with more hours per week, for example talking about natural hazards, prevention, and protection against natural hazards. Geographers of Serbia dealing with science, such as Dragićević et al [52][53][54], Burić et al [55,56], Kutiel et al [57], Malinovic-Milicevic et al [58], Lukić et al [26], Milanović et al [59], and Vyklyuk et al [60], still make a scientific contribution to the study of natural disasters. Geographers, unlike other professions, look at natural hazards from the physical geographic point of view, but also in terms of monitoring the social geographic consequences.…”

Local Resilience to Natural Hazards in Serbia. Case Study: The West Morava River Valley

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

During the past decade, the valley of the West Morava in the central part of the Republic of Serbia experienced several natural hazards that have changed the life of the inhabitants. The aim of this paper is to show how people perceive natural hazards in the areas where they do not have catastrophic consequences for the entire population. The perceptions of natural hazards were examined according to similar studies and collected through surveys and interviews. The obtained stratified sample information was coded, and the results are expressed in the parameters of descriptive statistics, using T-test and ANOVA. The population is partially affected if inhabited locations are in the threatened part of the West Morava River valley and if their activities have direct consequences by natural disasters. They emphasize the importance of the political influences and mass media, but they show the need for additional information on prevention and protection. That is where they see geography as profession that sublimates all knowledge of natural disasters, unlike others that are more narrowly skilled. The results of the research are the starting point for further regional comparisons, which will complement the picture of the people's attitude and resilience to natural hazards in Serbia and the Balkan Peninsula.
