AB  - In the literature, experts point out that the term sustainable development is often mistaken for
similar terms and that there is no single framework for managing it (Lele, 1991). According to Daly (1990) countries that have high rates of per-capita resource usage frequently have low rates of demographic growth and their aim is more consumption control than population control and vice versa. Issues raised decades ago are still current – how to manage environmental degradation in poverty affected areas or the confusing role of economic growth on today’s margins of environmental sustainability. At the 2012 Rio Summit, it was suggested that the world adopt a set of Sustainable Development Goals. These goals should include economic development, environmental sustainability and social inclusion (Sachs, 2012). The economy in Serbia has been developed in the capital city and several other smaller towns, mostly along the Pomoravlje area (Babović et al., 2016b). Such centralized economic development is an obstacle to sustainable development. Administratively, there are 25 areas in Serbia, and in most of them
a percentage of the active population that performs occupation is 30–35. The highest percentage is in the Kolubarska area (42%) and the lowest is in the Toplička area (24%). The percentage of the economically inactive population is around 60 in most areas. The highest value is in the Toplička area (65%) and the best situation is in the Kolubarska area (52%). A small number of residents do occupations and almost two-thirds of the population are dependents, in all areas. On the other hand, The Government of the Republic of Serbia adopted, in 2008, National Sustainable Development Strategy with a goal to “lead to balance three key factors…, linking them to a whole supported by institutional framework” (Vasić, 2004:6). Can one speak of sustainable development, especially the well-being of the population, if in many areas the economic predispositions are very low? The differences between development and living conditions are even greater if we descend from the area level to the municipal level. Economic underdevelopment and depopulation of settlements are certainly a major brake on sustainable development (Babović et al., 2016a).Some experts, such as Filipović (2012) and Jednak and
Kragulj (2015) proposed a knowledge-based economy as a way of sustainable development in Serbia. We should work on a larger raise environmental awareness among citizens and involve them more in decision-making at the local level. Shutting down the economy in small towns and leaving the population is in favour of the environment, but this again is not a sustainable solution. The well-being of the population is a component that needs to be institutionalized at the local government level and should involve all stakeholders. As a country actively working to join the European Union, Serbia must more actively pursue a sustainable development policy at all administrative levels.

AB  - The study provides a comprehensive data analysis on total fertility rates, birth
rates, life expectancy, percentage share of over 65 year olds, infant mortality rates and
adolescent-specific fertility rates, in Russia and Serbia, two decades after the fall of
communism and compares it with general values in Europe. The main problems in the
demography of Russia and Serbia are connected with economic process, caused by
economy transition, from planned economy to the free market, as one of the consequences
of the fall. Finally, the authors concluded that the Russian demographic situation is
characterized by depopulation processes just like in Serbia.

AB  - Под термином „ерозија земљишта“ се подразумевају промене на површинском слоју земљишног рељефа, које настају као последица деловања кише, снега, мраза, температурних разлика, ветра и текућих вода, или услед рада антропогених чинилаца. Социо-економски фактори представљају синтезу демографских, друшвених и економских фактора. Директан и индиректан утицај човека на ерозију (представљену кроз просечан годишњи пронос наноса) анализиран је на примеру девет бујичних сливова југоисточне Србије, који припадају сливу Јужне Мораве, а налазе се на простору Грделичке клисуре и Врањске котлине. Дисертација се односи на период 1971-2011. године, с тим што је пронос наноса приказан и за ранији период (1953). Урађена је детаљна регресиона анализа (проста и вишеструка). Независне променљиве су демографски (укупно становништво, активно становништво, пољопривредно становништво) и економски (сточни фонд, ораничне површине и површине под шумама) фактори, а зависна променљива је просечан годишњи пронос наноса. Резултат вишеструке линеарне регресије је једначина која садржи три параметра (активно становништво, сточни фонд и површине под шумама). Додатак социо-економској анализи двадесет насеља, која припадају проучаваним сливовима, је анкета која је спроведена 2013. године. Она потврђује константну депопулацију, старење села и лоше услове у којима људи раде и живе у проучаваном подручју. 
Приказано је двојако дејство човека на пронос наноса. Наведени су изведени противерозиони радови, као позитиван пример човекове делатности. С друге стране, анализа различитих демографских структура показује да се негативан утицај човека поклапа са периодом када је ерозија била екстензивна. У периоду након Другог светског рата, на проучаваном простору, је била заступљена аграрна пренасељеност и прекомерно коришћење пољопривредног земљишта. До промене оваквог стања дошло је 1970-их година прошлог века. Почетком овог века је негативно и природно и механичко кретање становништва, а пољопривреда је у неким селима потпуно угашена. Такође, последњих деценија је ерозија у проучаваним сливовима слаба, што опет показује повезаност са слабим антропогеним утицајем.
AB  - Тhe term “soil erosion” means modifying the surface layer of the soil relief, due to influence of rain, snow, frost, temperature extremes, wind and running water, or as a result of anthropogenic factors. Socio-economic factors represent a synthesis of demographic, social and economic factors. The direct and indirect human impact on the erosion (represented by average annual sediment transport) were analyzed on the example of nine torrential watersheds of southeast Serbia, which belong to the Južna Morava basin, situated on the Grdelička Gorge and Vranje Valley area. The dissertation refers to the period 1971-2011, except that the sediment transport has been shown also for the previous period (1953). Detailed regression analyses have been done, both simple and multiple. The independent variables were demographic (total population, active population, agricultural population) and economic (livestock, arable land and forests) factors, while dependent variable was the average annual sediment transport. The result of multiple linear regression is equation that contains three parameters (active population, livestock and forests). Addition to the socio-economic analysis of the twenty settlements, belonging to the studied basins, is a survey conducted in 2013. The survey has confirmed the constant depopulation, the aging of the villages and a bad living and working conditions. There are shown twofold human influence on the sediment transport. The erosion control works were analyzed, as a positive example of human activities. On the other hand, the analysis of various demographic structure showed the linkage negative man’s impact coincides with the period of extensive erosion. After the Second World War, were agrarian overpopulation and excessive use of agricultural land, on the studied area. This was changed in 1970s. At the beginning of this century natural and mechanical movement of population were negative, and in some villages, there is no more agriculture. During the last decades, there is weak erosion in studied catchments, which again is correlated with low anthropogenic influence.
