“…Mutual cause-andeffect links manifest most prominently in the relation between cities and their surroundings, and Tošić and Nevenić (2007: 297) underline the complexity of their influence: "… through their activities, cities affect regional integration and the differentiation of a naturally and environmentally, socio-economically, settlement-wise and demographically, physiognomically and functionally heterogeneous space, creating specific spatial systems…" Numerous studies were conducted in Serbia on the link between demographic and spatial development. The research presented in this paper was influenced the most by the following studies: a) link between demographic development and changes in the manner of land use (Krunić, et al, 2014;Krunić, Gajić, 2016); b) applications of GIS tools and geostatistical models in the prediction of population distribution in Serbia and its regions (Bajat et al, 2009;Bajat et al, 2011a;2011b;2011c); c) dasymetric mapping (Bajat et al, 2011d;Bajat et al, 2011e;Krunić et al, 2011;Krunić et al, 2015a); d) modelling population density in urban areas (Bajat et al, 2013); e) spatial and functional relationships and links in urban regions and settlement networks (Krunić, 2012;Krunić et al, 2013); f) spatial manifestation of daily urban systems (Tošić et al, 2009a(Tošić et al, , 2009b, etc.…”

Changes in the trends, distribution and structures of the population identified through censuses (such as the changes in total population, gender, educational, age and other structures) are crucial for understanding spatial phenomena and processes like urbanization. Numerous urban geography studies researching the development of systems of settlements in former Yugoslavia, which carried on in Serbia, were the foundation for a singular theoretical and methodological framework for researching spatial phenomena and processes focused precisely on the understanding of dynamic changes in the structures of the population and their territorial manifestation. Other than in scientific research, this approach found direct application in spatial and urban planning, when defining the measures directing demographic development, arrangement of urban functions, formation of a system of settlements, planning infrastructure development, etc. More recently, this theoretical and methodological framework was enhanced using GIS technologies, which allow for the integration of spatial and statistical data and provide for a powerful analytical tool. Data integration has spurred new research on the correlation between demographic and spatial phenomena and the mutual relationships and influences between spatial and demographic development. This paper presents an overview of existing research on the mutual influence between population development trends and spatial changes manifest through the fluctuations in the intensity of built-up areas, population density, infrastructure development, etc. A model of population distribution was created by using selected census statistical data and correlating them with phenomena in actual geospace. Emphasis is placed on the significance of using this and similar models in further research on the population's impact on the environment, directing economic development, protection in emergency situations, and numerous other areas.

“…In either context, the points represent an expression of value, whether it is related to a species' particular ecological niche (Elith et al, 2010;Phillips et al, 2004) or to a location a stakeholder perceives as providing a social value they consider important. Studies documenting the application of Maxent beyond the realm of species-distribution mapping to spatial problems of primarily human dimensions (e.g., Bajat et al, 2011;Banks et al, 2011;Braunisch et al, 2011;Heumann et al, 2011;Jenks et al, 2012) also suggest the appropriateness of applying Maxent in a social-values context. Maxent's logistic output provides more complete maps within a study area where value and preference survey data are available.…”

“…Within the Serbian context, it is widely believed that ICT information support innovation is constrained by a lack of instructive regulations [92][93][94]. Later research on information support modeling within Serbia shows a persistent lack of political and institutional support to GIS/PSS utilization and all the difficulties that PSS developers have to face in practice [98][99][100][101][102][103]. Relying on these experiences and on the significant research on PSS usefulness [76][77][78][79][80][81][82], we decided to change the approach, searching for the answers on PSS usefulness issues in fields of social psychology, behavioral and organizational research.…”

Collaborative strategic decision making has to be widely informed, communicated and knowledge-based in order to innovate transformations toward local and global sustainability. It is unimaginable that this process could be effective without computer-aided information support, but the research indicates the utilization constraints within human capacities to recognize their usability and usefulness. These constraints seem to be even more challenging within the intensively transitional social contexts, such as Serbia. We argue that understanding the relationships between sustainability, governance, and planning in a specific social context has profound importance to gain usefulness of information support and to ensure its increasing utilization. Identifying the practical path of information support modeling requires an operational framework that encompasses innovative and socially valid initiatives. Therefore, an integral theory framework was chosen to comprehend all social influences on the information support of successful utilization. This article presents the integral framework of the information support’s conceptual setting, which was used to build up community-based collaborative action research (CBCAR) as a transformative social learning process that enables information support utilization, and it was tested in six municipalities of Serbia. The implementation of pilot territorial information support (TIS) initiatives resulted in continuous and proactive local community efforts in information support development and usage.
