According to the natural characteristics, Serbia is predisposed to erosion processes. However, both worldwide and in Serbia, a large percentage of erosion processes are contributed by anthropogenic factors. The activity of man can be both negative and positive, depending on the degree of awareness of the importance of using natural resources on the principles of sustainability. Preventing the degradation of torrential floods and erosion processes contained in the sustainable management of land resources, which includes the use of participatory methods. The paper presents the participation of the community in the management of natural resources (CBNRM – Community Based Natural Resources Management), according to which the community becomes the primary implementer, with the assistance and under the supervision of professional services. In the case of public participation in the sustainable management of land resources of Grdelica Gorge (South Serbia), shows the socio-economic and ecological approach of the local population. One of the significant participatory approach programme is WOCAT (World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies) which was also implemented in Serbia. Within the WOCAT program in Serbia, the best conservation technologies and approaches were recorded, which were derived not only from experts but also from local farmers/villagers. These technologies and approaches have entered the world database, whose use can certainly act in the prevention of torrential floods. This paper also presents a model of sustainable management of land resources, adapted to the conditions of hilly areas of Serbia, which includes the planning of production on sloping terrain from the aspect of land resources, then the needs of the population for certain localities particular production, and profitability of planned production. Regarding ecological effects of the model of SLM, soil loss is reduced under the level of tolerance in the researched area. Economic effects of the established model of SLM, proved by Benefit-Cost Analysis, are on the satisfactory to significant level. These reasons are enabling people to stay and survive in these regions. |
