The use of polluted water has a direct impact on human health and cause long-term consequences. The longest and most polluted river in Kosovo is the Sitnica, a 90 km long river with its source located near the village of Sazli. The river flows into the Ibar River in Northern Kosovo. Agriculture is prevailing activity in the basin of Sitnica which is why agricultural as well as industrial waste are the biggest water pollutants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate water quality of the river and analyse the pollution level along the Sitnica River caused by agricultural activities and industrial discharges. In order to assess the impact of pollutants on this river, a measurements were carried out in four (five) monitoring stations: the first station represents the reference station which has not undergone or has not been affected by polluting pressures, two stations in water areas affected by the irrigation of farming land and two monitoring stations in water areas affected by industrial wastewater discharge. Some of the parameters of water quality analysed are temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity, pH, DO, COD, BOD, P total, nitrates, sulfates, and heavy metals iron, manganese, zinc, nickel.

GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites, 22(2), 489–496. https://doi.org/10.30892/gtg.22218-305 Abtract: Tourism is an economic activity or a set of co-ordinated activities aimed at meeting the needs of individuals related to leisure and movement of people. Tourism has a great potential and plays an important role in meeting the main objectives related to, employment, sustainable economic and social development. Kosovo's tourism economy is dominated by small and medium-sized economic operators, while large economic operators are still in the process of privatization, and therefore it is required to find a favorable sectorial strategy that in the long term will ensure the sustainability of tour operators, offering a diversified tourist product. The findings of this study give special importance to institutional challenges that require identification of responsibilities and coordination of all actors involved in the tourism planning and development process. The surveyed tourism region offers critical reviews on how to assist tourism planners to improve their methods in community-based tourism planning and development, while pointing to directions for future research into tourist regions.

  • A Summary of the Tourist Potential of Ferizaj
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 4 No 2 S2 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy August 2015 A Summary of the Tourist Potential of Ferizaj Halil Halili PhD Candidate, Mediteran University, Faculty of Tourism, Bar, Monte Negro Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2015.v4n2s2p63 Abstract Ferizaj is, without any doubts, one of the most interesting areas thanks to its wealth and natural beauties. Ferizaj has great potentials for tourism development, as a cultural one as well as to the nature and recreation. Among the potential of local tourism development are Sharri beautiful mountains, river valleys Nerodime, bifurcation, the union of two rivers etc. The different historical past has left numerous material monuments such as tumuli (cemetery) Illyrian, remains of old buildings, residencies and grave stones dating from Middle age. By building objects for tourists we would insure opening of the area and its resources towards tourists and it would valorize, in any aspect, rural, recreational, hunting, fishing, sports, village and ecological tourism. Keywords: tourist potential, Ferizaj, development of tourist sector, Bifurcation 1. Introduction Ferizaj has sufficient potential for the development of cultural, nature and recreation tourism .Among the potentials of the development of local tourism are beautiful mountains of Sharr ,the valley of the river Nerodime ,bifurcation ,the union of two rivers etc. Ferizaj, compared with its surroundings, is relatively new town. One of the most important factors from historic past to the formation of the city of Ferizaj and its economic development is the construction of the railway line (1874) and a railway station that is very important for the transportation of passengers and goods, which also influenced the changes of the view of the place, which today has been transformed into the city (http://kk.rks-gov.net/ferizaj/City- guide/History.aspx) Ferizaj has a convenient geographical and economic position.

Abstract – Phytosociological characteristics of grassland communities above serpentines (order Halacsyetalia sendtneri H. Ritter-Studni~ka 1970) in Serbia, are analyzed accord- ing to Braun-Blanquet methodology. In order to detect the basic floristic differentiation of analyzed communities ordinary correspondence analysis was applied. Cluster analysis was also performed to see the structure and separation of the communities based on the floristic composition. In order to determine diagnostic species, fidelity indices with presence/ absence data and the size of all groups standardized to equal size were calculated. The new association Stipetum novakii is described in open rocky serpentine grasslands in Brdjani Gorge. Key words: Stipetum, serpentine, ordination, fidelity, Serbia Introduction Serpentine (ophiolithic, ultramafic) rocks represent a group of siliceous rocks which are characterized by calcium deficiency, high concentrations of aluminium, iron, magnesium, nickel, cobalt and chromium, and a few plant nutrients. In contrast to other acid siliceous rocks, the pH values of the serpentine substrate vary from basic to ultrabasic (pH 5.5–8).
