Background/Aim. Cervical cancer is still an important public health problem in Belgrade. The aim of this study was to explore spatial patterns of cervical cancer, provision and accessibility of women's health service on the primary health care level in Belgrade, as well as the needs for improving cancer surveillance and preventive programs. Methods. This study applied a descriptive epidemiological method and a geographic information system based on data on cervical cancer diagnosed among female residents of Belgrade in 2006 and 2011. A map of the density of cases, with precise and complete data on the address of residence at the time of diagnosis, and a map of the distribution of gynecological practices in the primary health care in Belgrade, were generated through the process of georeferencing. Results. A total of 569 cases of cervical cancer were registered in 2006 and 2011, without significant differences. Significant associations were noticed for municipality of residence and year of diagnosis (χ 2 = 42.99, df = 16, p = 0.000), and year of diagnosis and age groups 30-34 (р = 0.038, f = 3.998, df = 11, ANOVA), 40-44 (р = 0.001, f = 7.545 df = 13, ANOVA) and 45-49 (р = 0.046, f = 2.679, df = 15, ANOVA). The process of georeferencing covered a total of 466 (81.8%) cases with 97.4% of all cases diagnosed in 2006 and 68.6% in 2011. The generated maps showed similar spatial patterns of cases for both years: a higher density of cases with addresses in central parts of urban and suburban municipalities, as well as in parts of densely populated areas of urban municipalities. There was no regularity of grouping found for the cases in relation to the provision of women's health service, or of distance from the place of residence of cases to gynecological practices. Conclusion. Our results indicate possibilities for the perception of the spatial distribution of cervical cancer and needs for improving cancer surveillance and preventive programs on small geographical areas.

The process of demographic ageing is one of the most apparent features of the demographic development of Serbia. The increase of the percentage of aged population is also present in Belgrade, although Belgrade itself, being the center of immigration and the major urban agglomeration, has a specific population development. This paper analyzes the dynamics and demographic features of the citizens of Belgrade older than 60, in the period between 1981 and 2000. It discusses the changes in gender and age distribution of this population group, as well as the processes of ageing and feminization of the elders. It also indicates related differences between the municipalities of Belgrade, as well as between the City of Belgrade, the Settlement of Belgrade and the settlements of Belgrade outside the inner urban zone

In this paper, basic characteristics of demographic and economic changes in the area of Belgrade agglomeration in the second half of 20th century has been researched, and a global trend of their establishments and motions has been indicated. Changes of territorial arrangement, spatial distribution and structural features of population, within the agglomeration itself, were in close interaction with directions of development and expansion of urban region. Belgrade agglomeration development follows several stages in its physiognomic-spatial, economic and demographic growth, whereby the migrations, as in cases of all large urban systems, had special influence on growth and structural features of population. In this paper, modern development processes and their effects on demographic growth have been emphasized.
