“…The most dynamic changes in the period of the strongest industrialization up to 1981 were next to the cities and its settlements in the immediate vicinity as well as along the main roads. In this period there was recorded a weak, still insufficient diversification of rural municipalities manifested by reducing the share of the active population in the primary, and increasing the number of employees in the secondary and tertiary sectors (Gekić and Bidžan-Gekić, 2016).…”

Within the framework of the analysis of basic features of the urban system of Bosnia and Herzegovina, its insufficient development with the pronounced predominance of smaller urban settlements is highlighted (more than 65% of urban settlements have less than 10 000 inhabitants). Evident polarization in the urban system of Bosnia and Herzegovina is reflected in the very dynamic monocentrism of the capital city and the regional centers, which is further intensified by the consequences of the war through the resettlement of a large number of refugees and displaced persons. One of the main objectives of this paper is the realization of nature and the change in the level of the urban hierarchy in Bosnia and Herzegovina by determining changes in urbanization and the present differences between urban settlements in a period longer than 30 years . A further analysis of the interdependence of the urban system of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the territorial organization has determined that the urban system of Bosnia and Herzegovina did not represent the basis of the formation of a new political-territorial organization. The dissolution of integrative urban development after 1991 has markedly negative tendencies in the development of the urban system, which has been shown in the last two decades.

“…Comparing the process of urbanization among the municipalities of the Uskopaljska valley shows that urbanization was most intense in Bugojno. One of the causes of such situation is much more intensive industrialization of Bugojno which has contributed to deagrarization [9].…”

Relief and agriculture are synchronized with each other, and it is obvious that for the agricultural geography of Bosnia and Herzegovina relief is one of the major conditions that affects different crops. The paper discusses the impact of relief on the development of agriculture in Uskopaljska valley mainly through geographical analysis of hypsometric and slope structure, exposure of sides and relief energy. Analysis of the characteristics of the relief enabled us to extract zones with different conditions for agricultural development. This analysis is very useful for agricultural planning and management in Uskopaljska valley. Area of Uskopaljska valley is not a homogeneous in respect of topography, slope, temperature and other resource endowments. An effort in this paper is done to explore and understand main relief processes.
