Protected areas are one of the priorities for mapping habitats, especially forest habitats, which are dominant in most protected areas of central Serbia, such as "Radan" Nature Park. This paper presents the forest habitat mapping in the protected area of "Radan" NP and the development of vegetation-stand map of the protected area in an effort to examine the methodology of forest habitats mapping in Serbia, which presumes a long term systematic data collection. Although much has been done on the classification of habitats in Serbia, considering both botanical and the forestry approach, the practical application of this knowledge in habitat mapping is still in its infancy, with the exception of longstanding practical work on data collection for Forest Management Plans for the state-owned forests. Data on forest stands in Nature Park "Radan" collected in this manner were essential to developing the vegetation-stand map of "Radan" NP. The results of data processing and harmonization of typology and classification of state-owned forests have been presented in this paper, as well as the analysis of forest habitat types in this protected area. The paper presents the vegetation-stand maps of the state-owned forests in the protected area and of the pilot area of privately owned forests, for which detailed field data collection was necessary. These maps are intended for the management of protected areas and systematic and efficient implementation of protection measures and activities. Habitat mapping in protected areas is a prerequisite for an adequate biodiversity monitoring, as well as for management and sustainable use of natural resources of the protected area.

The monograph “Monitoring of springs of the Carpathian National Natural Park” is presented and analyzed in the article (authors R.L. Kravchynskyi, V.K. Khilchevskyi, M.V. Korchemlyuk, O. M. Stefurak / Ed. by V.K. Khilchevskyi), published in 2019. This is the first such monographic study of of springs in Ukraine. It presents the results of monitoring studies of natural of springs in the territory of the Carpathian National Natural Park (field surveys, studies of the hydrological regime, chemical composition of water). Inventory and accounting of springs is included in the plan of annual nature conservation activities held in the park. There are all the necessary conditions for a comprehensive study of natural groundwater output to the surface – scientific, logistical and informational base. In 2019, after the grant of two wetlands in the Carpathian National Park (Prut and Pogorelets) international status and their inclusion in the list of wetlands protected by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Imports of International Imports especially as Waterfowl Habitat, 1971 – the study of environmental components, including springs, becomes more relevant and practical. About 40 expeditions were conducted to investigate springs in three major natural complexes in the Carpathian National Nature Park: Skibov Gorgany, Yasin-Verkhovyna Inter-Mountain Basin, and the Chernogorsky Massif. In the hydrological aspect, these are the basins of the Prut River. About 300 objects were covered by the monitoring studies. As a result of the analysis of literary sources, summarization of the information obtained in the expeditions, laboratory conditions and during the camera processing of materials, a considerable amount of data has been formed for writing the first monographic study in Ukraine on this subject, structurally consisting of eight sections. The methods used in the study of of springs and interpretation of data are presented. The book notes that in our time the multifaceted structure of the ecological and functional significance of natural of springs can be the subject of interdisciplinary research, including natural, technical, economic, often medical, and sometimes humanities. The necessity of increasing attention to the monitoring of natural of springs from environmental experts – geographers, hydrogeologists, hydrologists, ecologists, is justified.

Slobozhanskyi National Nature Park (Krasnokutsk District, Kharkiv Region, Ukraine) is represented by forest ecosystems and areas of forest marshes and swamp alders. Slobozhanskyi National Nature Park is adjacent to the floodplains of the Merla and Merchik rivers (Dnipro river basin). Studies of small mammals were conducted in 2004, 2008, 2011 and 2013–2018 in different biotopes. The data were collected using different types of traps, observation of animals in nature, fixation the traces of their vital activity, analysis of owl pellets, and surveys of the park’s staff and locals. Currently, 19 species of small mammals were identified for Slobozhanskyi National Nature Park and its surroundings, including 5 insectivorous and 14 rodent species. The number of species recorded in the study area is less than that for Kharkiv region (25 species) and for the two other national nature parks located in Kharkiv region (22 species in Dvorichanskyi NNP, 23 species in Gomilshanski lisy NNP). In total, 12 species of small mammals were caught by traps (4 insectivorous and 8 rodent species). Forest and eurytopic species such as Talpa europaea, Sorex araneus, Sorex minutus, Myodes glareolus, Sylvaemus sylvaticus / uralensis, Sylvaemus tauricus are the most widespread and abundant in Slobozhanskyi National Nature Park and its surrounding territories. Myodes glareolus is dominant in almost all biotopes except for floodplains. The typical meadow and steppe species Cricetulus migratorius and Alexandromys oeconomus are rare in Slobozhanskyi National Nature Park. Cricetulus migratorius is known only by bone remains from pellets of the tawny owl. Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus occur near human settlements in the study area. The highest species richness of small mammals (11 species) is found in the floodplain. This can be explained by the specific conditions of the drained floodplain with trees and shrubs along reclamation channels. According to the research, the smallest number of species (3–4 species) was recorded in young pine plantations.

Results of the inventory of a rare component of fungal diversity conducted during 2008–2018 in the Kamenystyi forest parcel of Hutsulshchyna National Nature Park are provided. Nine species of fungi listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine are reported: Anthurus archeri, Boletus regius, Clavariadelphus pistillaris, Hericium coralloides, Leucoagaricus nympharum, Mutinus caninus, Polyporus umbellatus, Russula turci, and Strobilomyces strobilaceus. In addition, other six rare in Ukraine species (Ganoderma lucidum, Gyromitra infula, Hericium alpestre, H. cirrhatum, Sarcosphaera coronaria, and Sparassis nemecii) were recorded. Two species proposed for the IUCN Red List, Asterophora lycoperdoides and Craterellus cornucopioides, are also reported. Information about their localities, ecological peculiarities, distribution in Hutsulshchyna National Nature Park, in Ukraine, and total geographical ranges is provided. It is proposed to include five rare species of macrofungi (Ganoderma lucidum, Gyromitra infula, Hericium alpestre, H. cirrhatum, Sparassis nemecii) into the next edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine or the Red lists of regionally rare species of mushrooms of the Ukrainian Carpathians.

The article presents the results of research of the energy stock in the components of pine forest bedding of National nature park Holosiivsky. The study was aimed on measurement and comparison of the carbon accumulation in the components of forest litter in natural and artificial forest ecosystems. The results of this study can be used to predict the stability of forest phytocoenoses. It is established that the energy supply of forest litter is an important element of the energy flows of the forest ecosystem and provides support for its stability. The study of seasonal dynamics of carbon accumulation was conducted on two monitoring plots of 50 m×50 m size. The first plot (D1) is represented by the association Dicrano-Pinetum Preising and Knapp 1942 ( Dicrano-Pinion Union (Libbert 1933) and located in a pine forest formed by Pinus sylvestris artificial plantations. The second plot (D2) is natural forest represented by the association Serratulo-Pinetum (W. Mat. 1981) with Pinus sylvestris aged 100–120 years in the first tier. The energy stock of artificial litter in artificial pine phytocoenoses exceeded the energy supply of natural pine litter. The average energy potential of artificial pine forest litter was 50857.75 kJ/m2, and it was 23910.00 kJ/m2 in natural pine phytocoenoses. The seasonal dynamics of the organic matter of the forest litter of the natural pine forest was smoother with the presence of one peak in the month of May, and for artificial pine characterized by periodic changes during the vegetation period with peaks in June, September and November. Insignificant fluctuations during the year of the energy potential of the forest litter of the natural pine forest showed a greater stability compared to artificial ones. Overall, the study confirmed the importance of monitoring the accumulation of carbon in various components of forest ecosystems.

Human density in different locations influences time estimation. In this article, we report three experiments investigating whether research in virtual reality (VR) environments would replicate this earlier finding. In our first experiment, 35 participants wore head-mounted VR displays and watched two videos showing a cityscape and a countryside. While watching each video, participants were asked to provide their perceptions of 30 seconds of time passage. Perceived time in the cityscape condition was longer than in the countryside condition. In our second experiment, 43 participants wore head-mounted VR displays and watched two videos showing a crowded and uncrowded Ikebukuro station. While watching these videos, participants were asked to provide their perceptions of 60 seconds of time passage. Perceived time in the crowded condition was longer relative to the uncrowded condition. In our third experiment, 21 participants wore head-mounted displays and watched two videos showing a crowded and uncrowded nature park. While watching the videos, participants were asked to provide their perceptions of 60 seconds of time passage. These repeated findings in VR environments of longer time perception in crowded versus uncrowded conditions were similar to data reported by who examined how location and human density affected subjective time in the real world. We discussed the implications of the VR tool in subjective time research and how people perceive and use VR environments in daily life.

The succession of ungulate fauna was studied under conditions of artificially high density and limited residential area on the Biryuchy Island of the Azov-Sivash National Nature Park. Forming of inter-specific relationships between populations of the moufflon, red-deer and fallow-deer were revealed. The social hierarchy of the mentioned species, which are at the same trophic level, is determined. For the population of each species the factors influencing the dynamics of its number are given. Competition of species in steppe habitat is based solely on trophic relationships because the protective properties of the land are minimized. The forage base creates equal conditions for different species, since there is no woody vegetation in the steppe, which makes the large size of the red deer not important for the food obtaining. Concerning the fallow-deer, there is activation in reproductive potential, which is the part of the strategy in competition for resources and indicates its wider ecological lability in comparison with the red-deer. Meanwhile, a high level of adaptation to the conditions of the open steppe is noted in the moufflon, which (together with high reproductive capacity) rationally uses pasture potentials while the fallow-deer and red-deer have a certain level of stenophagy.

Determination of the Ruteng Recreation Nature Park had caused conflicts over tenure for Colol custom community have been in and around the area since before the establishment. Conflict was due for access to agricultural land use and timber had closed by the management. The conflict resolution involves three elements, namely the government, customs and religion which are called the three pillars. This study aims to understand the stages of the tenure conflict, relevant stakeholders and the conflict resolution. The study was conducted Colol village in April to May 2016. Acquisition of data using observation, in-depth interviews with a purposive and snowball and secondary data. Analysis of data using conflict tree analysis, stakeholders and mapping conflicts. The results showed that the cause of the conflict is the difference in value systems that implicates disagreement land status and boundaries as well as the uncertainty of access due to rights issues and access. Conflict resolution is required is to build trust between the parties, improve communication to reduce the differences in perception, increased involvement of indigenous peoples in the management of Ruteng Recreation Park, reconstruction of recreation park boundaries involving the parties, especially the major stakeholders and optimizing the coordination and communication between the parties.Colol Custom Community determine their traditional territory option to pull out of the Ruteng Recreation Park.

The supervised classification of mountain forests in Carpathian National Nature Park was carried out in order to clarify the spatial distribution of their species composition and phytosanitary conditions. The area of deciduous forests in territory of the Carpathians is constantly increasing comparing with coniferous forests. The investigation of affection factors for Carpathian spruce forests established that the damaged forest areas are mainly located in relief depressions. On the basis of Sentinel-2 satellite data the phytosanitary condition of individual forest areas was analyzed. The significant differences in brightness values and vegetation indices NDVI and MSI between diseased and healthy areas were determined.

Ovo istraživanje potaknuto je istraživačkim pitanjem postoje li neki konkretni problemi pri provođenju Zakona o zaštiti prirode i Plana upravljanja u samom Parku prirode Medvednica, koji je ujedno sastavni dio ekološke mreže Natura 2000. U radu su prikazani su rezultati istraživanja stavova predstavnika Javne ustanove PP Medvednica te su anketirani stanovnici rubnih zona PP Medvednica vezano uz tematiku korištenja i gospodarenja prostorom u zakonom zaštićenom području. Rezultati su pokazali da postoje problemi u PP od kojih je najvažniji problem odlaganje otpada i veliki broj posjetitelja koji se ne ponašaju u skladu s pravilima ponašanja u zaštićenom području. Kao najveće prednosti PP Medvednica navodi se da je to prostor za odmor i rekreaciju te predstavlja "pluća" grada Zagreba. Sadržaj koji najviše privlače stanovništvo rubnih zona jesu raznolikost biljnog i životinjskog svijeta te mir i tišina, čist zrak. Od biljaka sezonski se sakupljaju uglavnom plodovi (kesten, kupina i šumska jagoda) te gljive. Najčešće spominjane zaštićene biljne vrste jesu: Taxus baccata, Galanthus nivalis, Ilex aquifolium i Primula auricula i njih se ne sakuplja. Zaključujemo da su ispitanici dobro upoznati sa sadašnjim stanjem i aktualnim problemima, te smatraju da bi bilo nužno poduzeti bolju kontrolu unutar područja PP Medvednica.

Psychological research has long demonstrated that preferences can be influenced by stimuli coming from the environment. Music, as an external stimulus influencing people behaviours, purchasing processes and spending, has been widely analysed in consumer behaviour and marketing literature. Here, we focus on the effect of music genres on preferences and willingness to pay for selected ecosystem services of a Nature Park when they are elicited with a Discrete Choice Experiment. This aspect is important in non-market valuation because music can represent an element of context-dependence for the assessment of individual choices, so that the assumption of preference stability does not hold, and welfare estimates may be biased. The results of a generalized mixed logit model evidenced a significant effect of music on preferences. If elicited preferences depend on the context on which the survey is implemented, wrong information to decision makers is provided when the choice context is altered by an uncontrolled external stimulus. This result is particularly important for applied researchers and policy makers. First, the use of protocols and guidelines that instruct respondents about the ambient background when answering a questionnaire is highly recommended, particularly for online surveys. Second, specific genres of music should be used in educational and ecosystem services conservation campaigns and also piped in visitor centres and virtual tours to encourage nature conservation and improve visitors’ sensitiveness for the environment.

The issue of climate change is an integral part of urban and spatial development. Due to increasing urbanization and development within rural and natural landscapes, we are faced with various spatial demands and conflicts. However, sustainable urban and spatial regulations can improve the mitigation of climate change effects and promote adaptation. In order to obtain needed analytical framework to identify urban and building rules that promote mitigation and adaptation for the selected case study “the educational and sports-recreational complex” within the Spatial plan of the Nature Park Zlatibor , document analyses and literature research within the planning framework for the Spatial plan in Serbia have been performed to distinguish the mitigation and adaptation background. By addressing the urban and building rules in the context of climate change, this case study presents the planned adaptation and mitigation measures that were promoted through the spatial organization of multiple parcels, different urban land parameters, green and open spaces, the position on the parcel, maximum number of floors, energy efficiency standards, etc. Outlined urban and building rules focus on specific measures, such as energy efficiency, preserving water resources, heating and green areas, and use of natural materials in the visual appearance of buildings. Thus, it should be assumed that spatial planning represents an important tool for building development, nature preservation, and implementing the adaptation to climate change. As a signatory of all relevant international frameworks that promote the issue of climate change, it can be expected that in the forthcoming planning practice in Serbia the adaptation measures will be binding in a way that addresses specific problems and building development.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, intensity and risk factors (age and gender) promoting the intestinal helminthic infections of the Domestic mountain ponies and Balkan donkeys in Serbia. Methods: Prevalence, intensity and risk factors influencing helminth infection in horses (n=39) and donkeys (n=18) at the site of Nature Park Stara Planina, were studied from May to Sep 2015. The presence of one or several gastrointestinal helminth species was confirmed by faecal flotation in 97.43% of horses and 88.88% of donkeys included in the monitoring. The identified helminth species were Trichostrongylus axei, Strongylus edentatus, S. vulgaris, Parascaris equorum, Dictyocaulus arnfieldi and Anoplocephala magna in 84.61%, 46.15%, 5.13%, 58.97%, 94.87% and 38.46% of horses, respectively. The significant association of infection with P. equorum and sex of horses was established. (χ2=13.33, P

Die Verankerung der nachhaltigen Regionalentwicklung als gesetzliche Aufgabe für die über 100 Naturparke in Deutschland in § 27, Abs. 1 Nr. 6 Bundesnaturschutzgesetz im Jahr 2002 führte zu neuen Impulsen in der Naturparkarbeit, wie Friedericke Weber im Rahmen quantitativer und qualitativer Erhebungen für die Jahre 2010 und 2011 herausarbeitete. Neben Chancen zur Profilbildung wiesen die Analysen gleichzeitig auf Herausforderungen hin, die einer fundierten perspektivischen Aufgabenerfüllung hinderlich gegenüberstehen könnten. Forschungs- und gleichzeitig praxisorientiert wird auf der Grundlage einer erneuten standardisierten Umfrage auf gleicher Befragungsbasis wie 2011 bei den Naturparken der Frage nachgegangen, wie im Jahr 2020 die Geschäftsführer*innen die Potentiale und Restriktionen der Aufgabe der nachhaltigen Regionalentwicklung im Portfolio ihrer Gesamtzielsetzung und ihrer Ausrichtungen bewerten. Aus einer konzeptionellen Perspektive heraus zeigt sich, dass die Naturparke mit ihrem vernetzenden Handeln zentralen Kriterien der regional governance-Debatte entsprechen. Konzeptionell und praktisch eingeordnet, verbleiben darüber hinaus Unschärfen, was unter "nachhaltige Regionalentwicklung" zu subsumieren ist, eng gekoppelt an die Begriffsweite von "Nachhaltigkeit". Anwendungsorientiert unterstreichen die Befragungsergebnisse im Zeitvergleich gleichzeitig, dass die Naturpark-Geschäftsführer*innen in vielen Bereichen positive Entwicklungsperspektiven konstatieren. Der Weg in Richtung zu Regionalmanagern in "Modellregionen nachhaltiger Entwicklung" ist von den Naturparken in Deutschland damit weiter beschritten worden. In 2002, sustainable regional development was introduced as a legal mandate (§27, sect. 1. Nr. 6 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act) for the more than 100 nature parks in Germany, subsequently expanding the scope of their activities and introducing new incentives. Quantitative and qualitative surveys conducted by Friedericke Weber in 2010 and 2011 indicated new opportunities for nature parks to develop distinct profiles, juxtaposed with challenges regarding future task fulfillment. In a pursuit of both research- and practice-oriented questions and based on an adapted replication of these surveys, we ask how the managing directors evaluate potentials and restrictions related to the task of sustainable regional development in the context of their overall portfolio of tasks and objectives. From a conceptual perspective, it becomes evident that nature parks, with their networking activities, correspond to central criteria of the regional governance debate. Nonetheless, a certain unclarity remains with regard to the notion of "sustainable regional development", which is in turn closely linked to the similarly broad concept of "sustainability". From an application-oriented perspective, the survey results show that nature park managers perceive positive development prospects in many areas. Nature parks in Germany have thus proceeded further on the path towards a role as regional managers in "model regions of sustainable development".

One of the interesting advantages collaborative governance arrangements offer is a way to deal with complex problems, such as environmental issues. This short case exemplifies such an arrangement: The Partnership for Regional Sustainability is a collaboration between Ramat Hanadiv Memorial Gardens and Nature Park and five local authorities, located in close proximity to one another. This case led to a number of insights on the importance of creating regional identity, responsibility and trust among the stakeholders. It also shed light on the benefits and challenges of building collaborative arrangements.

Područje Žumberka i Samoborskog gorja zbog svojih bogatih prirodnih, krajobraznih, kulturno - povijesnih vrijednostima ima potencijal za izgradnju i razvoj održive turističke infrastrukture kao što je tematski zabavni park. U ovom radu definirani su koncept i sastavnice zabavnog park, analizirano je područje Parka prirode Žumberak - Samoborsko gorje sa svim njegovim prirodnim odlikama, izrađena je analiza privlačnosti, ranjivosti i pogodnosti područja za zabavni park te je utvrđeni najpogodniji položaji za njega. Najpogodnijima su ocijenjene tri zone unutar obuhvata, koje su potom detaljno analizirane, te su naposljetku izrađene smjernice za provedbu i upravljanje zabavnim parkom radi očuvanja prirodnih i tradicijskih vrijednosti područja Žumberka - Samoborskog gorja. Because of it's abundant natural, spatial-cultural and historical values the Žumberak – Samobor Highlands is a potential area for the implementation and development of a sustainable tourist infrastructure, such as a theme amusement park. This work features the concept and the components of the envisioned amusement park. It further contains an analysis of the Žumberak – Samobor Highlands with respect to it's natural features, landscape attractiveness and vulnerability, as well as its suitability for an amusement park. Three most suitable areas have been identified and subsequently analysed in detail. Finally, guidelines for the implementation and management of the amusement park have been laid out with the intent to preserve the natural and traditional values of the area.

Kroz rad utvrđeno je kako postoje određene specifičnosti u provedbi sportsko rekreacijskih sadržaja u parku prirode. To je potvrđeno u teorijskom, ali i u praktičnom smislu na primjeru Parka prirode Kopački rit. Specifičnosti i ograničenja u provedbi ponajviše proizlaze iz zakonskog i institucionalnog okvira s obzirom da je Kopački rit zaštićeno područje. Postoje i određene specifičnosti u provedbi koje se odnose na ovisnost održavanja određenih aktivnosti, kao što je plovidba plovilima, o vremenskim uvjetima (vodostajima rijeka). Trenutačno je najveće ograničenje prisutno u vidu posebnih mjera zbog epidemije virusa COVID – 19. Utvrđeno je da je određene sportsko rekreacijske sadržaje koji su u ponudi moguće unaprijediti, dok su predložene i nove aktivnosti kojima bi se poboljšala ponuda sportsko rekreacijskih sadržaja u Parku prirode Kopački rit. Through the work it was determined that there are certain specificities in the implementation of sports and recreation content in the nature park. This has been confirmed both theoretically and in practical terms by the example of Kopački rit Nature Park. The specificities and limitations of implementation are mostly due to the legal and institutional framework, since Kopački rit is a protected area. There are also specifics that relate to the dependency of maintaining certain activities, such as boat navigation, on weather conditions (river water levels). At present, the greatest limitation is present in the form of special measures due to the epidemic of the COVID -19 virus. It has been determined that certain sports and recreation content that are in offer can be improved, while new activities have been proposed to improve the offer of sports and recreation content in the Kopački rit Nature Park.

The species composition was studied and the number of rare and endangered species of passerines was assessed on the territory of Kiev Goloseevsky park named after M. Rylsky. 34 passerine species (Passeriformes) belonging to 14 families were identified, among which the most representatives include the families of finch (Fringillidae) – 6 species; fly-catching (Muscicapidae) – 6 species; raven (Corvidae) – 5 species. In the percentage ratio, the number of registered passerines is dominated by the raven (Corvidae) and fly-catcher (Muscicapidae) families. The most numerous is the grey crow (hoodie) (Corvus cornix). The features of the distribution of a number of passerines on the territory under study are revealed The results of the study can be used to identify patterns of formation of ornithological complexes on the territory of Goloseevsky Park named after M. Rylsky and create environmental and protection programs for the development of the National Nature Park "Goloseevsky".
