Opis (eng)

The problem of the urban forests in cities is very complex. The central parts of cities are compact, and the space is limited, so there are considerably less possibilities for inhabitants to gain an easy and quick access to the urban forests. To implement solutions relating the urban forests in the cities of Serbia, it is necessary to apply the land and utility policy, environmental protection policy, as well legal, planning, organizational, economic-financial and technical measures and instruments application. Legal measures and instruments, among other things, include making various decisions, such as the Decision on the use of urban construction land and the procedure for giving land for use, the Decision on determining land that is not considered urban construction, etc. Planning measures and instruments - their formulation and adoption enable planning solutions to be included into many decisions that are binding for institutions, economic entities, and even the citizens themselves within the Republic and local communities. Economic and financial measures and instruments include defining the financial sources for the implementation of plans and programs; defining the fee for the use of public greenery and urban forests as a communal city facility; financial interventions of municipalities; providing favourable investment loans; reduction of tax liabilities for those legal and natural persons that specifically contribute to the improvement of vegetation and greenery and implement some of the planned measures in this area; obliging companies whose activities endanger green areas to allocate certain funds intended for the improvement of the environment, etc. Organizational measures and instruments include the development of various action plans and programs for raising and arranging urban forests (Afforestation Action Plans, Programme of Intervention Measures for Rehabilitation of Endangered Public Urban Forests; Programme for Reconstruction of Improperly Arranged Urban Forests; City Planning Program, etc.); exemption from more intensive use of urban construction land of those undeveloped areas in urban areas that can be used for other purposes - greenery, etc. Technical measures and instruments include updating the state of the Cadastre and the state of land ownership; providing funds for the implementation of the program (for providing planting material, for raising and establishing forests, as well as for nurturing and protection of newly created plantations); establishment of monitoring systems and biomonitoring systems, etc. If the urban forests management is harmonized from the local to the republic levels, development goals and interests are determinized, make appropriate decisions and implement these policies, measures and instruments, the necessary norms for distribution of urban forests in urban centres in Serbia would be established.
