Opis (eng)

Protected area (PA) management includes interaction of different actors, institutions and processes and is carried out on different levels, from global to local. In Serbia, forest areas are mostly present within PA and forest management is directly connected with PA management (NFI, 2008; Đorđević, 2018). The management of a PA can be delegated to an organization, an individual or to a community which functions according to a set of laws, rules and/or traditions (Borrini-Feyerabend et al., 2013; Stanciu, Ionita, 2014). Also, the main feature of the modern PA management system is the existence of different types of managers. The governance of PA is carried out through the participation of the public and to a larger extent of the local communities and it has become a widely accepted principle of work. Conceptual model of PA management includes interaction between nature protection and forest management frameworks (strategic, legislative and institutional), structural characteristics of PA management (management and protection, monitoring of species and visitor monitoring) and mechanisms of financing. The aim of this research is to assess the main elements of conceptual model of PA management in Serbia and purpose elements of improvement. Results are showing that conceptual model of PA management in Serbia includes relevant frameworks (nature protection and forest management), structural characteristic and mechanisms of financing, but it needs improvement. Concerning frameworks, additional organizational capacities for establishing PA and its management from government level is needed as well as sustainable mechanisms of financing. The main weakness of structural characteristic of PA management is connected with overlapping of different responsibilities, insufficient organizational capacities and inadequate cooperation with local communities within the PA managers. On this level, diversified mechanisms of financing are lacking, since managers are mostly relaying on governmental financing. Regarding the directions for future research studies activities on identifying and analyzing organizational needs of PA managers are suggested as well as analysis of the financial needs of PA.
