Geographic bases of tourist development of the Sjenica's region

Abstract

One of the central places in finding out the overall solutions to stop the processes of economic power weakening of Sjenica's region, deagrarianization and depopulation of rural regions, is assumed by the question of adequate rural economy structuring in accordance with locally available resources. Within these frameworks we should look for the place, i.e. the position of tourist activity in Sjenica's region, which so far has not been given an appropriate role in development policies and concepts related to these areas, although it is based on various strong, highly attractive natural-ecological and anthropogenesis values. Rural areas were used for some forms of economic production and were known by low overall population densities. Tourism is attracted into these regions by natural features landscape quality and rural way of life. Rural tourism brings life to many areas. It can include a great variety of activities and can be way to prosperous life for people in Sjenica's region.

U cilju pronalaženja rešenja za zaustavljanje procesa slabljenja ekonomske moći Sjeničkog kraja, deagrarizacije i depopulacije seoskih naselja, jedno od centralnih mesta zauzima pitanje adekvatnog prestrukturiranja ekonomije saglasno raspoloživim resursima. U tim okvirima treba tražiti mesto turizma u Sjeničkom kraju, delatnosti kojoj u dosadašnjoj razvojnoj politici nije davana odgovarajuća razvojna uloga, nasuprot raznolikim i atraktivnim prirodno-ekološkim i antropogenim vrednostima. Seoski turizam je potencijal budućeg intenzivnijeg razvoja turizma u Sjeničkom kraju. Značaj turizma je višestruk, što se može sagledati kroz sve veću tražnju za specifičnim uslugama.
