A Model for Public Postal Network Reorganization Based on Dea and Fuzzy Approach TRANSPORT ISSN 1648-4142 / eISSN 1648-3480 2020 Volume 35 Issue 4: 401–418 https://doi.org/10.3846/transport.2020.13741 A MODEL FOR PUBLIC POSTAL NETWORK REORGANIZATION BASED ON DEA AND FUZZY APPROACH Jelena MILUTINOVIĆ1, Dejan MARKOVIĆ2, Bojan STANIVUKOVIĆ3, Libor ŠVADLENKA4, Momčilo DOBRODOLAC5* 1ICT College of Vocational Studies, Belgrade, Serbia 2, 3, 5Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia 4Faculty of Transport Engineering, University of Pardubice, Pardubice, Czech Republic Received 15 September 2018; revised 25 April 2019; accepted 29 April 2019 Abstract. One of the most important segments in management of Universal Service Providers (USPs) is reaching the deci- sions concerning changes in the postal network infrastructure. USPs decide on such matters based on an analysis of finan- cial indicators and defined qualitative parameters in accordance with the international regulations and obligations imposed by a competent regulatory agency. In this paper, the previously known method to analyse the existing postal network and define the minimal number of Postal Network Units (PNU) is implemented and upgraded by a new approach based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and fuzzy logic. The final aim of the proposed new approach is to determine which of the considered PNU should be closed or reorganized having in mind the minimization of negative effects, both financial and social. The proposed model gives the indices for all considered postal branches, which allows the decision-maker to rank the importance of each unit. The proposed model is a business intelligence tool, which replaces a multidisciplinary team composed from managers of the company and policymakers from both the postal sector as well as a sustainable rural development sector in reaching an important decision on changing the postal network. This decision may be considered as extremely complex since it should sublimate the opposed criteria that relate to the business success of the company, state regulations and sustainability of the local community. The indices obtained in the proposed method exactly include the mentioned three categories. The authors demonstrate the applicability of the suggested methodology based on the real data acquired in a district of the Serbia, i.e. in a regional organizational entity of the USP and provide the analysis of the results reached for the rural delivery post offices. Keywords: postal services, postal network units, social criteria, fuzzy logic, DEA, rural area.

They were pastoralists who were referred to in documents of the time as Vlachs. Vlach communities that specialized in extensive pastoralism are recorded in the oldest documents related to medieval Serbia fro m the end of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteenth centuries. Over time, these groups took on a Serbian ethnicity. The collapse of classical feudalism and the specific Ottoman system, especially in the hinterlands and sparsely populated areas, ga ve the Vlach communities opportunities for meaningful social progress. The paper analyzes the rise of the Vlach Bakić family, who rose to power during the second half of the fifteenth and the first half of the sixteenth centuries, first within the Ottoman Empire and then later within Habsburg Hungary . Keywords : Vlachs, Bakići, pastoralism, migrations . he Ottoman invasion of what is now the Balkans ended several states, including the medieval Serbian successor states of Nemanjić Serbia.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE 3 million dinars for support to farmers from the municipality of Prijepolje Prijepolje, June 7th, 2021 – The Ana and Vlade Divac Foundation, Prijepolje Municipality, and Zlatibor Regional Development Agency today signed an agreement that officially launched the 2021 Prijepolje Agriculture Development Fund. This innovative funding vehicle is supported by the USAID Competitive Economy Project. Prijepolje is the second municipality in the Zlatibor District, after Čajetina, to set up a farming development fund. The fund’s purpose is to provide multi-annual assistance to local farmers, with a total of 3 million dinars in capital provided by the Prijepolje local government and the Ana and Vlade Divac Foundation. “This is an innovative model that will allow the Fund to be used in a revolving arrangement to incentivize farmers from the area. The Municipality of Prijepolje will subsidize 30 percent of the incentives in the first year of the contract, while the remaining funds will be repaid by the beneficiaries, free of interest, on a schedule of 10 percent in the first year and 30 percent each in the second and third year of the contract”, said Vladimir Babić, Mayor of Prijepolje. Aleksandar Pavlović, Chief of Party of the USAID Competitive Economy Project, highlighted the difficulties faced by small-scale, traditional farmers in getting the finance they needed for initial investment into expanding and improving their production, even though the Serbia could boast a wide range of subsidies and loans. “This is exactly the issue these alternative types of revolving support extended by local governments and other partners are designed to address.

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.

Prvo uređivanje ovih šuma uradio je Biro za planiranje i projektovanje u šumarstvu – Beograd i to 1979. godine , kada je i izvršena ovakva prostorna podela . Drugo po redu uređivanje ovih šuma takođe je uradio Biro za planirenje i projektovanje u šumarstvu iz Beograda , i to 1989. godine . Treće uređivanje ovih šuma uradila je uređivačka služba šumskog gazdinstva Prijepolje , i to 1999. godine . Četvrto uređivanje je takođe uradila uređivačka služba iz Prijepolja 2009. godine .
