    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainable Development Projects as Opportunity for Economic Development of  Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The global climate changes as a worldwide phenomena are on the top of the agenda of most  states and international organizations. The adverse effects we currently feel and even worst  things to come are stressing the need for action and firm resolution of this problem. In this  sense, the need for ‘’environment friendly’’ energy is becoming top priority and renewable  energy sources are in high demand. Furthermore, many countries are noticing this as a  development potential and are investing in this sector. One of these countries is Bosnia and  Herzegovina with its unlimited natural resources including wind, water etc. This paper will  analyze ongoing and planed projects in the area of renewable energy and economic benefits  Bosnia and Herzegovina will experience from it. Furthermore, after the adoption of Kyoto  Protocol and creation of state agency Bosnia and Herzegovina is now eligible to apply for  CDM (Clean Development Projects). These projects are financed by developed countries and  are to be implemented in developing countries. It goes without saying that this is enormous  opportunity for Bosnian companies and agencies to apply for these projects and bring foreign  investments that will boost domestic economy. Besides this, the journey of Bosnia and  Herzegovina towards European Union is requiring various laws to be adopted and  implemented. One of these laws are rules and regulations related to the various aspects of  climate changes and ways on how to combat climate changes. Financial incentives that  European Union is providing to ‘’green energy’’ companies and renewable energy sources are  additional motivation for Bosnia and Herzegovina to develop this are furthermore. Thereby in  this paper I will address the current issue of climate changes and the need for renewable  energy sources. Special focus will be on Bosnia and Herzegovina and the opportunities for  economic development available through investing and working on ‘’green energy’’ and  renewable energy projects. I will analyze current projects and future planned projects and  their impact on economic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The focus of the research  will be on various documents, projects and analysis currently available for this purpose. The  main finding is that Bosnia and Herzegovina is truly a country with great potential for  investments in renewable energy projects and the research paper will provide abundance of  arguments for this statement.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainable Development- Environmental Ethics Relationship Within Eu  Environmental Policies]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Environmental problems and approaches to environment have an important place within EU  policies. There are major impacts of economic development on the inclusion of environmental  issues to the Union‘s area of interest, which aims to integrate European Countries through  economic, political and cultural areas and which foresees the free flow of capital, goods,  services, labor. It is crucial to form environmental values and provide the member countries to  internalize them in order to sustain development without giving harm to environment. In this  context, environmental ethics reveals a conflict from the perspective of sustainable  development. There emerges an area of conflict between attaining economic, social and  cultural development on the one hand and taking into consideration of environmental values  and environmental ethics during this process on the other hand.  The desire to improve the living conditions at the member countries through providing  economic, social and cultural development and to upgrade quality of life to a common level around the whole Europe are the reasons why the Union poses a common environmental  policy. The increasing pressures on natural resources have put economic sustainability  problem on the agenda and new problem areas such as climate change, genetically modified  organisms (GMOs) have revealed their reality in everyday life. Sustaining improvements in  urban and rural residential areas; developing health precautions, eradicating regional  inequalities can only be possible through sustaining a healthy and well balanced environment.  One approach in environmental ethics bases on the responsibilities of current generation to  future generations. In this context, environmental ethics is consistent with sustainable  development concept but comprises a diverse dimension. This type of environmental ethics  considers the human and human values while searching for solutions to environmental  problems and emphasizes the understanding which saves that individuals and societies should  have environmental values and environmental conscious in order to live a life in harmony  with the nature. People are not seen as solely objects of development in this view of  environmental ethics. The understanding as ―development regardless of its consequences‖ has  threatened biological and genetic variety on earth. This type of understanding on development  does not correspond to ethical understanding.  In this study, conflicts between sustainable development and environmental ethics within  environmental policies will be evaluated from the perspectives of anthropocentric, egocentric  biocentric, ecocentric approaches of environmental ethics by considering approaches to  environmental ethics within EU environmental policies. Sustainable development within EU  environmental policies will be critically reviewed in terms of environmental ethics.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainable Developments and Energy Strategies in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Fossil fuels have been used as energy source which is used in a variety of fields  such as running factories, transportation, electricity generation and also homes and  buildings, since the Industrial Revolution. As the energy consumption is strongly related  with the living standards and development of the countries, new energy sources should be  created. This is also necessary because of the causing global warming, climate change,  melting of ice caps, and increase in sea levels, ozone layer depletion, acid rains, and  pollution of fossils. Country such as Turkey is developing and thus energy consumption  getting larger, needs to develop new strategies for energy in order to compensate this energy  need. For the purpose of this study, Turkey is considered as representative of the various  spectra of development in the continent and a review is presented on the energy policy of  Turkey and how far these policies are meeting up to the challenges of sustainable  developments.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Entrepreneurship is considered as a central force of economic development in all  communities. Tourism is one of the economic industries in which a great degree of  involvement is needed by the entrepreneurial sector. Entrepreneurship is a critical factor in  tourism development, both globally and regionally, because of the nature of tourism and  tourism products. Tourism entrepreneurs are the basic determinants of successfulness of a  society, who aims economic growth, development and differentiation via tourism.  Entrepreneurs determine the magnitude of tourism industry, and what, where and when  touristic enterprise will be created. The purpose of this study is to reveal the impact of the  developments occurred in the superstructure of the tourism industry and show the importance  of private sector entrepreneurial efforts in the sustainable economic development of Turkey  between the period of 1980 to today.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainable Management of Historic Environment in the Context of  Sustainable Development]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study examines the relation between sustainable development and the  management of historic environment. The historic environment is a resource that  should be sustained for the benefit of both present and future generations. The term  &quot;sustainable development&quot; has risen to international prominence following the  publication of the Brundtland Report. The fundamental understanding of the  sustainable development is that environment and economy can not be seen separately.  It can be defined as policies for economic growth which allow the needs of the  present to be met without jeopardizing those of future generations.  Historic environment and traditional residence patterns should not be regarded only  as our cultural variables, but in accordance with the concept of “sustainable  development”, as housing stocks too. They have been accepted as a “public trust”. In  order to achieve a sustainable management of historic environment, changes in  attitudes and behavior will be required on all levels of society. For a smooth  transition, all segments of society need to be aware of and accept the need to change.  Education, research, and full-scale demonstration projects with local participation  will be necessary. Besides these changes, international cooperation in both technical  and financial fields is crucial.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Redevelopment of sanitary landfills plays a major role in sustainable development,  providing economical, social and environmental benefits. A combination of rising land  values, a growing urban population, their needs for recreation activities and mitigation of  ecological impacts have encouraged the conversion of completed sanitary landfills into  functional golf courses. This study examines the reclamation problems of completed landfill  to golf course developments and the possibility of designing a sanitary landfill based on its  final use as a golf course. For this aim, a sustainable planning approach for landfill-to-golf  course adaptive use projects are discussed, which combines sanitary landfill and golf course  design processes and modifies them in a sustainable way.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Rural financial services are key to enhancing rural economic development in rural  areas. Rural financial services in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in many cases, have completely  broken down as a result of the war conflicts, restructuring and privatization. Access to  financial services such as savings, loans, payment services, trade credit, insurance and leasing  is generally scarce and limited in rural areas as for households as for farm and non-farm  enterprises.  The development of rural and micro finance institutions with an appropriate range of high  quality financial services and products tailored to specific rural needs makes the availability of  financial services in rural areas permanent. Favorable policies, improved and adapted legal and  regulatory framework of Bosnia and Herzegovina which support the coexistence rural and  micro finance institutions with other finance providers (formal financial institutions, informal  financial service providers, NGOs and member-owned organizations) promise sustainable rural  financial intermediation.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Today’s security threats are more complex than traditional ones, such as HIV, climate  change, human rights violations, anti-democratic laws and measures forced us to think about  the definition and the context of security again. With the effect of these new threats,  sustainable security concept emerged from a post- Cold War multi-disciplinary understanding  of security. Sustainable security redefines how we think about national security in today&#039;s  shifting, after Cold War era. Struggling with these new threats, especially struggling with terrorism requires new approaches to security. The traditional understanding which predicts  balancing human rights and security measures is not valid anymore. In today’s security  understanding promoting democracy and protecting human rights are not causes of insecurity,  contrarily terrorism, which considered as the greatest threat to world security after Sept 11,  wants to create a “police state” to find support their own ideology. Further more terrorism  aiming to demolish democracy and human rights in society; with this, life become insecure,  state become more totalitarian and terrorist acts become more reasonable. For this  characteristic, terrorism called the “disease of democracies”. For this reason promoting  democracy and protecting human rights are the key elements of sustainable security  especially in struggling terrorism  Keywords: Sustainable Security, Human Security, Terrorism, Sept. 11, Human Rights,  Democracy.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Sustainable Tourism Development an Opportunity for   Bosnia and Herzegovina?]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Bosnia and Herzegovina is endowed with many resources such as geographical  position, climate, nature and above all its people. Its diversity is a magnet for millions of  potential travelers and visitors. Neither its government nor its people realize their huge  potential and possible benefits that tourism can bring about helping them not only to prosper  economically but also reconcile their differences.  Tourism is playing more and more important role in national and local economies. There is  no evidence that this will trend will decline. Bosnian climate, geographic position, cultural  and historic monuments and before all the composition of its people are key attraction for  visitors. Visitors will contribute significantly to the local and national economy and the  economic multiplier effect of this spend, in turn, supports employment and secondary tourist  facilities.  Similarly, in the determination of future proposals that could impact on the setting, character  and appearance of its potentials, special care is needed by planners and promoters to assess  its potential, spread the awareness and unleash it to the Globe so that the benefits can be  harvested. Bosnia can learn from its neighbors who are well known tourism leaders. There is  a huge room for regional cooperation and collaboration. Nonetheless, Bosnia and  Herzegovina has its competitive edge in its diversity that none of the neighbors can possibly  acquire in the foreseeable future.  Key to the sustainable approach of tourism and the cultural heritage is the preparation of  appropriate master plan that takes into account the identified overall effects in order to guide  the course of development in a manner that protects those very resources that attract visitors  and that does not cause in the short, medium and long term any reduction in their character  or appearance.  If managed properly tourism can bring about positive change that its people await for long  time.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>

ABSTRACT  Sustainable development is the first step to take action by bearing future generations in mind as well. Uncovering historical and cultural assets are important not only for cultural tourism, but it is also important in terms of flourishing the region thanks to the tourists who come to see them, and this must be secured without exploiting the region’s historical texture and natural landscape.  This paper investigates such issues as the ancient city of Sagalassos itself; the work done to uncover this city; the importance given to the environment and what has been done to flourish the region so far, as well as what should be done from now on. This study has a potential importance in that it shows that protecting the natural landscape and cultural texture will be realized both giving due importance to the environment and providing the development.]]></dcterms:abstract>
