Original Scientific Paper SPATIAL FUNCTIONAL TRANSFORMATION AND TYPOLOGY OF THE SETTLEMENT SYSTEM OF TOPLICA DISTRICT JOVAN DRAGOJLOVIĆ1, DUŠAN RISTIĆ2, NIKOLA MILENTIJEVIĆ1 1Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Priština, Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia 2Fakulty of Geography, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT Contemporary processes of industralization, urbanization, deagrarianization, the polarization and globalization contribute socio-economic transformation of the observed space as well as the creation of new carrier of functional relationships in space. 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. Keyword: urbanization, rural settlements, urban settlements, functions, typology, sustainable development, District of Toplica municipality with an area of 759 km2 (34.0%), Blace 2 INTRODUCTION municipality has an area of 306 km (13.7%), and lowest per surface is the territory of the municipality of Žitoradja 214 km2 Toplica district is located in the southern part of the (9.6%).

His fame, however, caused him to be mentioned often by later writers, and these, taken together, add not a little to the in- formation derived from his own poems. His full name was Publius Ovidius Naso, and he was born on March twentieth, 43 B.C., at Sulmo, the chief town of the Paeligni, about ninety miles by road east of Rome. The family was of old equestrian rank, and inscriptions prove that the name Ovidius was common only in the region of Ovid's birthplace. In Sulmo, now Sulmona, the tradition of the poet still flourishes.

(2018). TEORETICAL APPROACH CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM AS TOURIST DESTINATION IN KOSOVO. 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.

Most of the water must be evaporated before the lumber obtained from a tree can be converted into products. The lumber from which most wood products are manufactured must be dried. In this study, the effects of meteorological conditions in some regions of Kosovo on drying of wood were examined. Of all the methods to remove large quantities of water from wood, air drying has the least capital costs, especially in the early stages of drying.The studying of the temperature, raining, wind, relative humidity and the all other meteorological factors in the surrounding air for a long period of time there have been able to know about the air drying of the wood in different regions of Kosovo. Timber will reach constant equilibrium moisture content by specific value of temperature and relative humidity.
