TOURISM, THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT AND THE NATIONAL HERITAGE ARE THE PRIORITIES FOR AN ECONOMICAL KOSOVAR DEVELOPMENT Phd.(c) Merita BEGOLLI DAUTI Public University “Haxhi Zeka” – Pejë [email protected] Abstract Tourism is a general concept, witch of his own development and function can take different forms with of many sorts of areal, economical, social and environment implications. It seems clear that the success of tourism in the realization of the role as a major moving force for the development of integrated development zone will depend on the type of structure, scale, quality, cost and location of tourist buildings. This means that the development of tourism and protection of natural and cultural heritage should be planned according to the resource base, economic and social needs and ecological sustainability. Tourism represents quite complex activities with socio-economic character, which has multiple important events and economic branches. The Character and multiplicative nature of tourism, goes in accordance to the requirements of the population for recreation and leisure activities and daily activities in urban centers. Tourism values constitute the relatively large number of motives, such as heterogeneity also for origin. Tourism should not be treated only as an economic activity, such a treatment only tourism as economic supply category, which will only respond to tourist demands, in itself would contain natural values (beautiful scenery, landscape, favorable climate, water, flora and fauna) each element that motivate the tourist traffic.

The obtained order of alternative unexploited possibilities prioritizes the recovery of Kuršumlijska Banja spa in relation to all the other alternatives. Yet, it must be said that the other alternatives are also significant, and that they should also be exploited in the future so that this region might be present in the tourist offer of the Republic of Serbia to a greater extent. Keywords: multicriteria analisys, tourism, Toplica district INTRODUCTION Toplica District is an administrative district in Serbia, whose center is in Prokuplje. It is located eastwards from the Southern Morava River, i.e. it encompasses the basin of the Toplica River, a tributary of the Southern Morava, and a small part of the basin of the Rasina River, a tributary of the Western Morava. It surrounds the city of Prokuplje and the municipalities of Kuršumlija, Blace, and ŢitoraŤa. The Toplica River‘s spring is in the mountain of Kopaonik, and it was named after the numerous warm springs in its valley. This river is characteristic for the epigenia, which is found in as many as two places near the city of Prokuplje (it runs in one direction, then in the same line, but in the opposite direction). Therefore, Toplica District consists of the Toplica River Valley and is surrounded by the mountains of Jastrebac, Kopaonik, Radan, Vidojevnica and Pasjaţa.

Towns with its own influences enrich the network of surrounding settlements, strengthen their mutual relations and create a whole functional settlement system of one area , or the gravity of the urban core. By dividing the functions of the primary, secondary and tertiary, the basis and types of settlements are created by functional criteria according to the type of economic activity and the primary content in them. In this area in the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first century witnessed substantial changes in almost all components of demographic structure, which resulted in the transformation of functional types of settlement, when the predominantly agrarian settlement characteristic of the area of Toplica road went up mixed and service settlement. The idea behind the study is for the geographically complex area to be displayed in the light of socio- economic development, and as a basis for further economic development of this part of the Republic of Serbia.

Due to their large number, physical quantity variance, and incompleteness, these factors have a limited, sometimes even conflicting and ineffectual application in producing a unified effect on development. This issue becomes resolvable through a modification of factor analysis by means of combining it with multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). The solutions thus obtained in the form of a ranking, with the top-ranked solution being the most favorable, constitute immense support for decision makers to use the proposed most favorable solution to formulate and implement their plan of development. Keywords: sustainable regional development, development factors, multi-criteria decision analysis, multi-objective planning, factor analysis Introduction the one hand, natural resources are used for the purpose of production, but in order to attain sustainability, it is Regional development is one of the frequent topics necessary to invest in the natural environment, as it of interest not only within economic sciences but also is the only way to achieve harmonious development.
