  • Black Country Urban Park Barometer
    3333333 Black Country Urban Park Barometer April 2013 DRAFT WORK IN PROGRESS Welcome to the Black Country Urban Park Barometer. Transformation of the Environmental Infrastructure is one of the key to drivers identified in the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness. The full report looks at the six themes created under the ‘Urban Park’ theme and provides a spatial picture of that theme accompanied with the key assets and opportunities for that theme. Foreword to be provided by Roger Lawrence The Strategic Context Quality of the Black Country environment is one of the four primary objectives of the Black Country Vision that has driven the preparation of the Black Country Strategy for Growth and Competitiveness through the Black Country Study process. The environment is critical to the health and well-being of future residents, workers and visitors to the Black Country. It is also both a major contributor to, and measure of, wider goals for sustainable development and living as well as being significantly important to the economy of the region. The importance and the desire for transforming the Black Country environment has been reinforced through the evidence gathering and analysis of the Black Country Study process as both an aspiration in its own right and as a necessity to achieve economic prosperity. Evidence from the Economic and Housing Studies concluded that ‘the creation of new environments will be crucial for attracting investment from high value-added firms’ and similarly that ‘a high quality healthy environment is a priority for ‘knowledge workers’. The Economic Strategy puts ‘Environmental Transformation’ alongside Education & Skills as the fundamental driver to achieve Black Country economic renaissance and prosperity for its people.

WINTER LECTURES PROGRAMME 2009/2010 Thursday 8th October 2009 at 7.30 pm Speaker: Dr. Cathy Hollis (University of Manchester) ‘Minerals, hydrocarbon and porosity changes: a short history of fluid flow in Carboniferous limestone’ The Lower Carboniferous (Dinantian) has long been the focus for research into the tectono-sedimentary evolution of the UK prior to the onset of the Variscan Orogeny. There have also been many detailed studies on the early diagenesis of these carbonate platforms, and the mineralization that they host. The burial diagenesis of the Dinantian succession has received less attention, however, and yet it provides valuable information on the timing and mechanisms of fluid flow, hydrocarbon emplacement and mineralization within the developing Variscan Orogen. This talk will present a summary of the entire diagenetic history of the Lower Carboniferous, based primarily on studies on the Derbyshire Platform, and discuss how we can use this data to reconstruct fluid flow in a post-rift and compressional regime Thursday 12th November 2009 at 7.30 pm The Professor Wolverson Cope Annual Lecture Speaker: Professor Peter Worsley (University of Reading) 'Charles Darwin, the Beagle and Quaternary geology' During the Beagle voyage Charles Darwin engaged with a range of Quaternary geological features.

    THE BLACK COUNTRY Annual Economic Review THE BLACK COUNTRY - A PLACE TO WORK, LIVE, INVEST 01 Introduction “The Black Country Economic Review is produced annually by the Black Country Consortium’s Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) to provide an overview of the Black Country’s economic performance during the year. The report measures success as set out in our Performance Management Framework and enables us to monitor real progress towards delivery of the Black Country Strategic Economic Plan (SEP). Significant developments in 2018 include the development of a West Midlands Local Industrial Strategy (LIS), a unique opportunity to drive increased productivity and inclusive growth across the region. The Black Country Economic Intelligence Unit has played a fundamental role in the development of the West Midlands LIS, in particular utilising experienced skill sets to provide the deep, diverse and robust evidence base that underpins the strategy. The EIU is Stewart Towe CBE DL also a key delivery partner in the recently launched Midlands Engine Observatory.” Chairman of the Black Country Consortium How We Measure Success The Black Country Performance Management Framework The Black Country Performance Management Framework (PMF) set out on page 3, provides a clear framework to monitor progress and the changes required to achieve our 30-year Vision and the ambitions across the twelve programmes in our Strategic Economic Plan (SEP). This framework was politically endorsed by the Association of Black Country Local Authorities in 2004 and is updated and reported annually. The PMF is maintained and updated by the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) of Black Country Consortium Ltd who provide in depth cross-thematic spatial analysis on the Black Country economy on behalf of the Black Country Consortium and the Local Enterprise Partnership.

Abstract Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level.

  • Migration and Population Origin of Negotin Municipality at the Beginning of the 20Th Century
    Migration and Population Origin of Negotin Municipality at the Beginning of the 20th Century Review article UDC 314.7(497.11 Negotin)„19” Received: 3. July 2019; doi: 10.5937/zrgfub1902069A Received in revised form: 10. July 2019; Accepted: 20. July 2019; Available online: 20. July 2019 MIGRATION AND POPULATION ORIGIN OF NEGOTIN MUNICIPALITY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY Zlatko Apanović 1 Abstract: The area of the municipality of Negotin, which belonged to the historically important area of Krajina, represented the polygon of intersection of migration flows of different intensity and directions. Studying the origins of the population enables us to understand the currently ethnic division of settlements created by the migrations and ethnic processes that influence the settlements which are the subject of this paper. This article aims to describe the migration flows that determined the origin of the population of the municipality of Negotin and the ethnic distribution of settlements. The results of anthropogeographic surveys conducted during the second and third decades of the 20th century, as well as ethnological research from the second half of the 20th century, can rightly be interpreted as supporting the claim that the origin of the population and the ethnic structure of settlements of the municipality of Negotin are largely the result of historical migration trends. Of the greatest importance for the ethnic distribution of population are its two migration flows. The first and the oldest migration flow from Kosovo and Metohija and stage areas for that migrant lineages (families who have a mutual ancestor) and the second and the most numerous migration flow is from Wallachia, in which the participating lineages of Serbian and Vlach origin which created conditions for further deepening of the differences between Serbian and Vlach settlements.
