Stanovništvo Gračanice u svjetlu najnovijih popisnih podataka (drugi dio)

Author(s): Damir Džafić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 45/2018

In the 37th „Gračanički glasnik“, the author of this text analyzed some of the characteristics of the population of the Gračanica municipality using the preliminary results of the 2013 Bosnia and Herzegovina's census. Given that the first official results of the census were published in June 2016 and that they differed to a certain extent from the preliminary results, there was a need for the analysis of some of the already published characteristics of the population of the Gračanica municipality, such as the number of inhabitants, the average population density, the number of households and their average size, as well as the age, gender, national, religious, linguistic and economic structure of the population. The data relating to the Gračanica municipality were compared with the data relating to the Tuzla Canton and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Immigration albanaise en Grèce: Diffusion et dispersion dans le territoire urbain. Le cas de Thessalonique

Author(s): Ifigeneia Kokkali / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2006

Albanian immigration in Greece could be qualified as singular, given its ample repartition throughout the national territory, which is not the case for other migrant groups that tend to be concentrated in specific areas, in particular, in the Athenian agglomeration. This "exemplary" migration seems to generate comparable patterns even within the urban space. The object of this paper will be to relate these two portrayals of Albanian migration: within both the national Greek territory and the urban space, through the example of Thessaloniki. Our objective will thus be to illustrate Albanian households’ repartition in Thessaloniki and to compare their spatial distribution with the distribution of other migrant groups. In this way, we will be able to demonstrate the spatial pattern that Albanian migration takes on in Thessaloniki, as well as to reveal the Albanian immigrants’ mode of territorial insertion.

Urbane aglomeracije na glavnim razvojnim osovinama kao polovi demografske revitalizacije Srbije

Author(s): Branislav P. Stojanović,Gordana Vojković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-4/2005

Significant geographical-demographic changes are characteristic for the region of Serbia in the second half of the 20th century, which were caused by a dynamic primary urbanization process, namely intense migrational trends between village and town. Expansion zones were formed around urban centers with total intense growth (both demographic and economic), which are mainly found in land areas of main development axes, whereby the (Sava) Danube-Morava one is the most significant. The importance of this development axis (not only in the demographic sense) is indicated by the fact that in this region (composed of districts which are located in the corridor zone) 3794.8 thousand people lived in 2002, which represents 50.6% of the population of Central Serbia and Vojvodina. Taking into consideration the territory it consists of, this zone is populated twice as much in average than the region of Serbia (without Kosovo) as a whole. Along with that, out of the five urban areas with more than 100 thousand people (large urban centers), four are located in this zone (Subotica, Novi Sad, Belgrade and Niš) and only Kragujevac is located somewhat on the outskirts in relation to it, but in its immediate proximity. Large town centers in corridor zone X concentrated as much as 41% of the Republic urban population in 2002. At the same time, a network of 32 settlements in the land area of this main development axis of Serbia which belong to the category of small and medium size towns, and which cover about 16% of the republic urban population should be added to this. Consequently this zone, as other concentrated population zones, which are formed around secondary development axes on the territory of Serbia, is identified as a region with significant population potential.For that very reason, there was an attempt in this paper to determine the role and significance of urban agglomerations on main development axes for possible demographic revitalization of Serbia. The significance of urban population arises from its quantitative and especially qualitative (structural) characteristics. This category of population of the Republic realizes significant growth (more than 10%) in the last two inter-census decades (1981-2002) regardless of the effects of demographic and socio-economic transitions and geo-political changes and their mainly negative influences as opposed to the total population of this region which realizes an apparent drop (of 3%). The drop of rural population is even more obvious (by about 16%) so its (future) role in possible demographic revitalization of Serbia is of secondary significance. As early as the seventies, the focus of main demographic processes (natality) shifted from rural to town populations. It is a fact that only the urban population of Serbia (without Kosovo) realized a positive natural growth in the nineties. However, it is interesting that large cities lost their precedence at the end of the twentieth century, namely negative natural growth appeared (Belgrade –1.5‰, Novi Sad – 0.3‰ and Subotica – 5.4‰) and in fact only small and medium towns provided natural replacement of its population. They participate with over 60% in total number of live births in urban areas, and having in mind that they are becoming the bearers of population reproduction, they can be viewed as the poles of future demographic revitalization of Serbia.

INVESTIGATION OF AWARENESS, TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND MOTIVATION CHANGES IN PEOPLE WHO TAKE COACHING

Author(s): Çağrı Hamurcu / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

This study examines the changes in awareness, taking responsibility, and motivation in people who take professional coaching. The data collection tool used in this study consists of six questions designed to identify participants' gender, age and educational status, awareness, taking responsibility and motivation changes. The prepared data collection tool was implemented at the end of each coaching sessions with face-to-face interviews with the coaching service recipients. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the level of awareness of those who take coaching service is high and the level of taking responsibility and motivation is moderate. Another important finding in the study is that; there is no relationship between sociodemographic factors (gender, age, level of education) and awareness, taking responsibility and motivation changes.

Futbolun Aktörleri (Dramatis Personae) Açisindan Üçüncü Lig Kontenjan Kurali

Author(s): Mert Kerem Zelyurt,Muazzez Şaşmaz Ataçocuğu / Language(s): Turkish Issue: S1/2017

In 2016 it was seen that the "quota rule" (age restriction) which was put into practice in 2009 for the 3. League football teams in order to enable young players to have a better chance in squads and bring these players to the national teams have been changed because of not getting the desired results. In the study, the effects of 2009 quota rule which was established as a legal obligation to the football teams were examined in the extent of players, coaches, and the club managers (dramatis personae). The study was designed as "Semi-structured in-depth interview" (Qualitative Method) method. According to "Theoretical Sampling Method" the sample of the study was formed through 6 players, 4 club managers and 5 coaches all of which are active in the third football league. The interviews recorded in February 2017 and May 2017, which vary from 6 minutes to 29 minutes in length according to the samples, were converted into text and categorized under 4 themes in findings section. The themes are: 1. being dropped out of squad 2. Problems relating the squads and the quality of the football 3.The problem of player training in the third league for the national team and transfer mobility to upper leagues 4. The fall in wages, the problem of becoming unemployed and being obliged to play in the amateur football league. As it can be concluded from the themes which frame the narrations by the samples including different experiences considering their status and roles in terms of quota rule practice; some outcomes during the period in which the rule had been practiced (particularly due to the version before the change) were witnessed such as the deterioration in the quality of football, technical problems relating squads, the problem of vertical and horizontal professional mobility of the players and the fall in wages. In the last instance; it can be concluded that it is necessary to analyze legal sanctions relating a multivariate and intricate field such as football in terms of their possible multiple outcomes before putting them into practice. Considering this study, it is thought that analyzing the professional effects of legal changes to be made in order to regulate practices in football and other sports branches shall benefit both theoretically and for the sake of correct operation of the field of application.

Ја и други у постмодерном друштву: истраживање обиљежја релационих образаца на узорку студената

Author(s): Milana M. Ljubičić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 166/2018

Subject of this article is exploration of relational patterns of young people: their beliefs, feelings, perceptions and experiences gained through relationships with other people in postmodern social context. The postmodern societies, including ours, share the same characteristics: production of uncertainty, neo-individualism and consequent loss of contact with another human being. The others are often objectivised – they should serve to fulfill our goals, while the possibility of an authentic human contact is reduced to a minimum. Although not clinically striking, these behavioural patterns – ways of adaptation to the uncertain social context, can not be classified as personally and developmentally beneficial. The goal of our analysis was to describe how our young people perceive the Other and how they interact with the others. The survey was conducted on 197 students of humanities faculties. In order to examine their beliefs and practices we used a structured questionnaire. Findings have shown that there is no room for optimism: most respondents are distrustful to others, living in the belief that they can rely solely on themselves, and the percentage of lonely ones is high. Having in mind the above, the need for further research on this subject has been recognized.

Улога и задаци предшколских установа у популационој политици Аутономне Покрајине Војводине – десет година после

Author(s): Ana Gavrilović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

Researches in population policy evolution carried out in our country showed that there were oscillations in its development, it was not consistent and based on recognized scientific principles, and most of all its measures were not of long term duration. At the end of the twentieth century the population policy gained in importance by the establishment of certain organs of the highest level of authority as well as by introducing measures which took into consideration the needs of parents for the encouragement of giving birth and even more the support in raising children. In that context, public insti tutions for children were recognized as important carriers of population policy which aims were: the lower economic parental costs, the better functioning of the institutional system, the better use of all resources in its domain, and changes for the better in all aspects of life. The preschool institutions played the significant role in this. Ten years ago in Vojvodina a research about the preschool institutions in Vojvodina was conducted taking into consideration elements relevant to the population policy – the number of these institutions, their capacities and network, human resources, forms of activity, working hours, the inclusion of children, waiting period for enrolment in nurseries and kindergartens, plans for the increase in number of children and the capacities of child care centres, and the way of identifying the needs for different forms of activity and services. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the follow-up study of the identical research conducted ten years after the first one. The results show that changes are slow and that great oppor tunities of preschool institutions in population policy are not considered to an adequate degree by competent authorities.

Утицај животног задовољства на намеру рађања другог детета код високообразованих мајки

Author(s): Vladimir Nikitović,Željka Buturović,Suzana Ignjatović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

Current demographic research increasingly emphasizes the role of psychological and subjective factors in childbearing decisions. Life satisfaction is one of those factors that could possibly play a role in family planning throughout the reproductive span. Given that transition to parenthood often leads to changes in subjective well-being, life satisfaction and happiness, better understanding of the connection between happiness and childbearing plans could provide valuable insight into the way early parenthood experience shapes subsequent reproductive decisions. In 2015 we conducted an online survey of 2,239 participants which covered various facets of parenting, including happiness, meaning and life satisfaction in several life domains. This report is based on the subsample of 720 mothers of one child with at least a bachelor’s degree and focuses on the relationship between their perception of happiness and meaningfulness and their plans to have a child in the next three years. The results show that subjective perceptions of happiness and meaningfulness are positively associated with intention to have a child in the subsequent period. Furthermore, the positive relationship between happiness/meaningfulness and childbearing intentions remains when mother’s age and financial situation are taken into account. A possible connection between subjective measures of well-being and childbearing decisions uncovered in this study could provide directions for further research and eventually have policy implications.

Чешка политика према породици

Author(s): Biljana B. Stanković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

The paper presents the development and transformation of the Czech population policy since the 1950s. It changed from the pronatalist, carried out at a time when the Czech Republic was part of the communist Czechoslovakia, to mostly social in the time of the transition from the 1990s, and the actualization and introduction of new measures in the last decade. The measures that were defined and implemented over a certain period of time represented the state’s response to the family and reproductive behavior of the population, most often reflected in low fertility, largely determined by the current social, economic and cultural conditions. In this sense, the period of the greatest challenges came after 1989, with the transformation of the social and political system and the great economic and social changes that followed, as well as the decline in fertility to an extremely low level. At that time, family policy excluded the pronatalist incentives and benefits and only kept social measures aimed at reducing poverty and alleviating inequalities. Since the early 2000s, new measures have been defined and implemented, motivated by the need to stop and change the declining fertility trend that reached the lowest level (TFR 1.13 in 1999), by looking at the possible negative socio-economic consequences, as well as the recommendations and directives of the European Union, member of which became Czech Republic in 2004. Since 2000, the decline in fertility stopped, TFR reached 1.43 in 2011 and according to data for 2016, it was 1.63 children per woman.

Компаративна анализа фертилитета према старости и степену образовања у републици српској и Републици Србији

Author(s): Rada Mandić,Anđelija Ivkov-Džigurski / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

The family is an institution that is constantly changing in line with the modern system of society values. In the last two decades there has been a change in fertility, the size of the family and the form of marriage. Low reproductive norms are not only a reflection of socio-economic factors, but also norms of an induction character. In the Republic of Srpska and the Republic of Serbia there was a change in the pattern of birth; women decided to espouse later, which also delayed firstborn in the later reproductive age. Regarding birth analysis, we tried to investigate whether women of different ages and educational levels had an impact on fertility, and what similarities and differences had shaped the fertility of Serbian countries. It is considered that education affects the reproductive choice and creates a gap between the required and the actual size of the family. The basic hypothesis of work is based on the assumption that there is a strong correlation between female education, age and fertility. Descriptive statistical methods, T-test and Pirson correlation coefficient were used for data analysis. The obtained results indicate that there has been a change in reproductive behavior and that there is a strong connection in socio-demographic parameters of the fertility of the Republika of Srpska and the Republic of Serbia.

Планирање властите старости – ресурс активног старења у заједници

Author(s): Ljubo Lepir / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

Under the conditions of strengthening neoliberalism, when the role of the state in securing the social security of citizens is constantly diminishing, the issues of age and aging become increasingly the “matter” of personal responsibility of each individual towards themselves and their life and personal relationship between them. Personal aging planning is a pressing need in societies where social security systems are inadequate to provide the existential needs of the elderly. Age planning is directly linked to the realization of active aging models. Active aging involves knowingly managing the old person with his remaining abilities, capabilities and resources in order to overcome the consequences of aging. Question how to achieve the goals of active aging can not be the responsibility of an old person – that is the question of responsibility of the community in which the old person lives. The conditions it creates and activities carried out by the community directly contribute to better and more efficient results of personal age planning. In the paper we deal with the updating of the importance of personal age planning and sustainability of the concept of active aging in local communities. Personal age planning is in direct co-ordination with institutional support for the elderly in the local community that is implemented through preventive programs and adaptation programs. Preventive programs for elderly people in community can facilitate the adjustment of the elderly to the new states and the consequences of age. Adaptation programmes provide primary support to the elderly in coping and solving problems, the concrete and active problems that local community citizens face each day.

Културна партиципација као вид активног старења – могућности и предлози иницијатива

Author(s): Sanja Božić,Milica Solarević,Tatjana Pivac,Ivana Blešić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

Population policy on aging involves many forms of active aging, the most important of which are employment, social and cultural inclusion, volunteering and improvement of basic living conditions such as health care, adequate housing, and affordable transportation. Today, many European countries are facing the challenges of population aging, including Serbia, where the importance of active aging is still insufficiently recognized by society and key decision makers. The aim of this paper is to highlight the possibilities for promoting active aging through the inclusion of the elderly population in the cultural life of the city of Novi Sad, which faces the mentioned problem and lacks appropriate measures for the inclusion of the elderly population in the social and cultural life of the city. In addition, the aim of the study is to examine the attitudes of the cultural institutions regarding the possibility of adapting cultural contents to this target group, as well as for their inclusion in the realization of cultural contents. To achieve this, in-depth interviews were conducted with employees of the selected cultural institutions of the city. The obtained results will serve as the basis for the decision makers to define proposals of concrete actions to encourage active aging through the cultural contents of the city.

Psiho-socijalna slika seksualno aktivnih adolescentkinja

Author(s): Biljana B. Stanković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-4/2004

In a demographic sense, adolescents are a population group which is yet to take part in birth giving. Therefore, their sexual behavior and especially sexual activity at early ages which is not only unfavorable from the aspect of the individual, meaning risk for psycho-physical health, but from the aspect of society as well, as regards population fertility, deserves special attention.This paper shows the results of in-depth research carried out in Belgrade from September 2001 to October 2002 with an aim to establish which factors determine a young person, of sixteen years old or younger, to become sexually active. It was carried out on a sample of 111 adolescent girls between 14 and 20 years old which turned to the Republic Family Planning Center Youth Counseling Clinic of the Institute for Mother and Child Health Care of Serbia.The research showed that sexual experience, realized at an early age was an integral part of development and maturing for the largest number of surveyed girls. In the largest number of cases it was a positive experience, induced by love and experienced with a partner, mainly of the same age, with which they were in a longer, stable relationship. Nevertheless, it could be concluded from the results obtained by the research that the surveyed girls could have more easily and efficiently solved their problems and dilemmas regarding sexuality had they had the possibility to obtain a better insight into their personal feelings and feelings of others at the right time, as well as developed social experience and experience in mastering control of their impulses. With a certain number of surveyed girls that would have meant a delay in their sexual activities to a later age. This also refers to the prevention of other risky behavior, such as use of alcohol and drugs, which also have an influence on changing sexual behavior, making it more risky. It is important to stress that the surveyed adolescent girls themselves recognized the necessity for support in this delicate field of life as well.The psycho-social profile of surveyed sexually active adolescent girls indicates that they do not belong under any circumstances to some marginal group. Therefore it can be concluded on the basis of the results obtained on this selected sample that an even greater necessity exists in the young population, and a possibility as well for better preparation and greater insight into questions from the sphere of sexuality. With a certain number of young girls this could lead to a certain delay in the commencement of sexual activities. Nonetheless, with a basic prerequisite of educational work on maintaining and promoting reproductive health of the young, which understands acquiring knowledge and skill, youth sexuality is above all, being accepted. Love takes up a significant place in the value system of our surveyed girls, as well as sex, which is mainly conceived as a constituent part of love, leading to a greater closeness with the partner and contributes to maturing and development of an individual. There is no reason to believe that it is otherwise in the population of the young people.

Gradska naselja Republike Srbije u popisima stanovništva od 1948. do 2002.

Author(s): Radoslav Stevanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1-4/2004

In population censuses from 1948 to 2002, two criteria for differentiation of settlements, namely division of settlements into urban and those that are not (mixed and villages, namely other) were used by statistical office. One being the administrative criteria, by which the settlements are declared urban by legal regulations (census 1948 and censuses from 1981), and the other a combined (demographically-statistically) criteria based on the combination of the two characteristics: population size of the settlement and percentage portion of non-agricultural population, used in population censuses from 1953 to 1971. Proceeding from the adopted criteria, a total number of 243 independent settlements had the status of urban settlements in Serbia, which is a considerably greater number of total numbers of urban settlements in any population census. This practically means that certain settlements, from censuses to censuses, gained and lost such a status. The loss of the status is exclusively a characteristic of the period when the demographic-statistical criteria were applied for separating urban settlements in the population censuses from 1953 to 1971, namely the transfer from these criteria to the administrative-legal criteria in the population census of 1981.The number of urban settlements as well as the changes in the number and systematic list of urban settlements, not only within the Republic, but in certain macro entities (for Kosovo and Metohia up to 1991), are shown in table and schematic forms according to successive population censuses, starting from the 1948 census.

Борба против превременог морталитета у Србији

Author(s): Marko Galjak / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

Serbia is faced with many demographic challenges, and one of them is a relatively high mortality, especially the avoidable mortality. The clearest example of successful interventions to lower the mortality is the one which took place in a province of Finland called North Karelia between 1972 and 1977. A big campaign, with goal to lower the cardiovascular disease risk factors, mobilized not only the healthcare system, but also different multiple agents such as: schools, supermarkets, agriculture, civil society organizations, etc. Campaign proved to be very successful and was quickly expanded to include the entire country. The mortality by ischemic heart disease of those younger than 65 years in North Karelia was lowered by 73% between 1972 and 1995. Which parallels can be drawn from the mortality situations of Serbia today and Finland then? This paper identifies the causes of death that can be avoided where mortality rates are still very high in Serbia and identifies possible directions of measures geared toward lowering mortality.

Изазови у популационој политици према миграцијама становништва у условима неравномерног размештаја популационих потенцијала у Србији

Author(s): Danica Šantić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

Population distribution, as one of the key topics in geographical research, reflects the integrity of physical, social, economic and historical factors of certain area. This paper provides an overview of the spatial concentration of population in Serbia at the beginning of XXI century (Censuses 2002 and 2011). The analysis of population distribution and redistribution was performed at different levels of territorial structure of Serbia. The results indicate uneven distribution of population potentials (both in quantitative and qualitative ways) by expanding the area of extremely low and extremely high concentration. However, there remains a need for a broader scientific consideration of migration flows in order to create migration policies. Those policies are of interest to geographers because they represent attempts to manage the flow of people and to alter the geographical pattern of population distribution and characteristics.

Просторно-демографски дисбаланси као изазов популационим политикама

Author(s): Gordana Vojković,Zora Živanović,Ivana Magdalenić / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

The significance of the regional disproportions at the territory of Serbia, when it comes to demographic resources, imposes in front of the social community a task for public policy measures to be more efficient and more precisely addressed towards the local communities where the limit of their possible acting has not been perturbated yet. Thus, defining of coherent public policies requires good research of the demographic processes and problems on all levels and defining developmental solutions in accordance with them. Dimensioning of demographic potentials is one of the challen ges and priorities of spatial planning as well, as a controlling instrument that has been gaining significance in modern conditions. Foreign experience in this field, i.e. the system of spatial planning in European countries, with the special attention paid to the ways of solving problems connected to demographic processes and appearances, is undoubtedly instructive for the domestic practice and the establishment of public policies on state and lower regional levels. Given the fact that the inequality in development is caused, above all, by the expressive metroplization and polarization of the Serbian territory, in modern conditions it is considered that the application of the polycentric development model could help avoiding further excessive economic and demographic concentration. It includes economic competitiveness and social equality (sustainable development) as pre-requisites for the diminishing of local disparities to the acceptable minimum. In that sense, it is considered that a group of middle sized towns represents a pivot in establishing homoge neous national urban system which would lead to the increase in the degree of settlement network consistency. It is necessary that the endeavour to decentralize Serbia be elabo rated with concrete measures and instruments that would route further state development, meaning affirmation of the middle sized towns.

Регионалне разлике у концентрацији становништва Србије

Author(s): Danica Đurkin,Milica Todorović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 167/2018

For understanding the demographic, economic and social development of the researched area, studying the distribution and concentration of population has a great importance. Spatial concentration of population of Serbia is a result of the rapid economic transformation after the Second World War. The intensive migration flows from villages to cities in the 1960s, on the first place, accompanied by a negative trend of natural population change, on the second, led to the redistribution and creation of re gional and interregional differences in spatial distribution of population. By applying the chosen measure, concentration index, on the smallest level of the territorial structure of Serbia (settlements), the degree of population concentration is precisely determined and presented. Based on these results, the regional differences in concentration of population in Serbia are explained, which was the aim of this paper. Analyzing the results in the study area, four zones were distinguished: deconcentration i.e. the zone of dispersion, the zone of moderate, the zone of high and of extremely high concentration. A comparative study of a chosen indicator pointed to a certain territorial changes in the distribution of population for the observed period (from 1961 to 2011). At the interregional level, the most intensive spread of dispersion zone is noticed in the regions of South and East Serbia, Šumadija and Western Serbia and Vojvodina, while the highest average value of a given indicator, which records a constant increase as well, is established in the Belgrade region. Micro-level data showed concentration trend in 11.3% of settlements, but population dis persion in 88.7% of settlements. The dispersion zone covers the largest part of Serbia (84.2% of all rural settlements) and the directions of dispersion are clearly noticeable moving from the state border to the interior of the territory, and then from larger regional and municipal centres to the periphery. However, the zone of moderate concentration has decreased in spatial and demographic terms almost three times. Intensified processes of concentration led to the creation of the zone with extremely high concentration of popu lation (41.4% of the total population of Serbia), but it includes only 1.7% of settlements. Areas with a high population concentration are limited to the industrialized and urbani zed settlements with favourable traffic-geographical position on the axes of the state development (corridors). The application of concentration index to the settlement level of the Republic of Serbia outlined the differentiation of space, with a significant spatial-de mographic imbalance, resulting in uneven distribution and territorial and demographic polarization.

BASES FOR TRUST IN PENSION FUNDS OPERATING IN POLAND

Author(s): Małgorzata Marzec / Language(s): English Issue: 510/2018

The purpose of this article is to analyze the trust in Open Pension Funds (OPF) as entities operating in the Polish pension system. The task of OPFs is to collect and manage the funds accumulated by Poles in order to secure their capital after retirement. Poles often ignore the need to save money for old age, despite the fact that the Polish pension system provides for individual pension schemes. This article indicates the factors for building the trust in OPFs as institutions operating within the second pillar of the pension system. The trust in the pension system can be built through the trust in the individual institutions operating in the given system. Separating trust factors related to OPFs can indicate the methods of building the trust in the entire pension system.
