Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is one of the most important instruments for directing the strategic planning process toward the sustainable development goals in various areas of human activity. This also applies to the field of waste management. By applying SEA in waste management planning, it is possible to see the benefits and consequences of the proposed changes in space that will occur during the implementation of strategic planning concepts and based on that make appropriate decisions respecting the capacity of the space where the planned activities are implemented. The paper presents the application of SEA for the National Waste Management Program with all its spatial, organizational, energy, environmental, and other solutions, and the way they are included in the specific method of multicriteria evaluation in SEA. The specificity of the methodological approach indicates the need for equal consideration of environmental and socio-economic aspects of development and a clear presentation of the results obtained in order to make optimal decisions in waste management planning at the national level. The National Waste Management Program in Serbia, which legislation in the field of environmental protection and waste management is harmonized with EU legislation and directives, was chosen for the case study. The obtained results indicate the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in the evaluation of strategic solutions in the field of waste management, which is achieved by specific choice of environmental and socio-economic SEA goals and indicators as a basis for valorization of the proposed concept of waste management.

The term "project financing" is often used to describe all types of project financing, but in recent years it has evolved towards a more precise definition, so that it implies the financing of a particular economic unit in which lenders are comfortable to rely initially on the cash flow and income of these economic units, which the loans will be repaid from, and on the property of that economic unit as collateral for the given loan. Project funds can be adequately used to finance the defense system. They generally fall into the category of development priorities and usually enjoy numerous benefits (primarily tax and customs benefits) provided by the host country of a project, which generally generates more income for participants in project financing than when it comes to conventional credit. The BOT model for financing infrastructure projects has a number of potential benefits and it is an effective alternative in many countries with a more traditional approach to using government borrowing or state budget, with the government retaining strategic control over the project which will become public sector property.

This paper covers theoretical, methodological and practical discoveries and evaluation of the economic aspects of development and planning of the mountain tourist regions. The basic aspects of economic-spatial theories, analysis and methods are presented for research of development effects in the mountain regions. It is also pointed to the basic terms of the mountain tourist regions development in the countries of the European Union which realize respective development results The work analyses significance of tourism in development of the mountain regions characterized by the capability for innovative activities, i.e. starting the whole range of complementary activities which reversibly influence the forming of growth and development poles. Especially are analyzed commercial and non-commercial effects of realization of the mountain tourist centers in ecologically saved, but as a rule, economically not enough developed mountain regions. The approach in the strategic evaluation of the economic feasibility of development of the tourist region is considered in accordance with the experience of the countries with higher degree of mountain region development, on example of Stara planina. The analysis of economic feasibility of mountain region development Stara planina covered the following segments: market, consumption, number of employed, investment means and economic effects of exploitation. Considering the fact that Stara planina is region covered by the Park of Nature and Tourist region for which the Spatial plan is done, a special problem was harmonization of development and protection functions, i.e. evaluation of economic and ecological acceptability for development implementation. The Spatial plan foreseen rational model of sustainable regional development of the Stara planina region based on integration of urban and rural economies on one side and development of tourism and protection of nature, on the other.

The paper is dealing with questions relevant for defining the strategy and adequate policies for sustainable development of mountain areas, discussed on the case study of the Kopaonik national park In that respect the prior activity is to insure and support the sustainable agriculture development, and to sustain the rural settlements, as essential prerequisites for nature, landscape and cultural heritage protection, conservation and presentation. For achieving the necessary demographic vitality of this mountain possible option is to obtain the existing and settle the new younger population, by ameliorating the living conditions and rising up the quality of life in rural settlements. Sustainable utilization of natural resources, the agricultural land in particular, can open new perspectives for local development, preservation and transformation of the settlement network pattern. Necessary prerequisite is to increase accessibility of different services and utilities in small and medium sized towns at mountain and surrounding areas. Sustainability of mountain area and rural settlements network has been depended over the eligibility of public investments for economic activities decentralization and for increasing the accessibility of this areas. . ; U radu se na primeru Nacionalnog parka Kopaonik, čija je primarna funkcija očuvanje i zaštita prirode i prirodnih vrednosti, razmatraju osnovna pitanja u vezi koncipiranja odgovarajuće strategije i pratećih politika održivog razvoja planinskih područja Srbije. U tim okvirima se primarni značaj daje obezbeđenju uslova za održivi razvoj poljoprivrede i opstanak seoskih naselja, kao osnovnim preduslovima za očuvanje specifičnih prirodnih, predeonih i kulturno-istorijskih vrednosti ove planine. Za održanje neophodne vitalnosti stanovništva opcija je zadržavanje i naseljavanje mlađeg stanovništva, uz poboljšanje uslova i povećanje kvaliteta življenja u seoskim naseljima. Održivom razvoju poljoprivrede na planinskom području može da pogoduje nasleđena mreža naselja, koju treba očuvati i transformisati i povećati dostupnost javnih službi i usluga opštinskih centara, manjih i srednjih gradova u okruženju. Opstanak planinskih područja zavisi od mogućnosti ulaganja iz javnih fondova u decentralizaciju ekonomskih aktivnosti i povećanje dostupnosti ovih područja. .

The goal of this research is to examine the processes of suburbanization and sprawl in two post-socialist capital cities in Southeast Europe – Belgrade, Serbia and Sofia, Bulgaria. Our analysis begins with a survey of relevant historical developments in the two cities, which illustrates the impact of major political, economic and social drivers on urban development processes and form. We follow this with an empirical study aimed at identifying contemporary features of peri-urban processes occurring in the two cities. Specifically, we explore spatial patterns, general population trends and changes in urban densities. Our study confirms earlier observations by other researchers that processes of suburbanization are occurring in Belgrade and Sofia. Yet this research goes further and emphasizes the specific combination of conditions inherited from the era of state socialism and the features of South-east European urban culture. Thus regarding the form of urban expansion, we observe relatively weak trends of sprawl with strong local specifics. On this basis, we discuss our empirical results with the objective of identifying the specifics of studied processes in Belgrade and Sofia as a grounds for the articulation of an appropriate policy framework
