Opis: This study examines the impact of natural disasters on the sustainable development of the rural municipality of Loška Dolina, focusing on the 2014 ice storm and subsequent floods. Through semi-structured interviews with seven key stakeholders, including local government, civil protection, and affected individuals, the research analyzes the disasters' effects on the economic, social, and environmental pillars of sustainability. The ice storm damaged forests and infrastructure, while floods caused soil contamination and habitat disruption. Despite these challenges, the community showed resilience and increased climate awareness. The SWOT analysis highlights both opportunities in the timber industry and challenges in disaster preparedness. The study emphasizes integrating disaster risk reduction into sustainable development planning.

Opis: The European Union (EU) has long emphasized sustainable development as a fundamental policy goal, particularly within its tourism industry, which accounts for approximately 10% of the EU’s GDP. This thesis explores the legal frameworks that promote sustainable tourism development in the EU, analyzing their effectiveness, challenges, and future directions. The study examines the interplay between sustainability principles and tourism regulation, focusing on EU treaties, directives, and strategies such as the European Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan, the European Tourism Indicators System (ETIS) and others. The research assesses how legal mechanisms influence environmental protection, economic growth, and social inclusion within the tourism sector. It also investigates the implementation of EU green policies, analyzing their impact on tourism businesses and local communities. The study highlights best practices from member states, such as sustainable tourism initiatives in Slovenia, Spain, and Germany, illustrating the successful integration of environmental and economic objectives. Findings indicate that while the EU has made significant progress in promoting sustainable tourism, regulatory fragmentation, inconsistent enforcement across member states, and financial constraints hinder full implementation. Recommendations include enhancing regulatory harmonization, strengthening stakeholder collaboration, and leveraging digital tools to monitor sustainability performance thus contributing to the broader discourse on balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility.

Opis: Young people play a pivotal role in instigating and driving significant changes. The impact of individuals’ involvement in environmental conservation, community development, and social change initiatives for sustainable value creation is of considerable importance in the pursuit of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The objective of this study is to examine the contribution of youth engagement in the creation of sustainable value by analyzing their comprehension and prioritization of the 17 SDGs, with the goal of achieving sustainable development and sustainability. The researchers conducted a study on a sample of 1085 individuals between the ages of 14 and 30, who were selected from three distinct countries within the Western Balkan region—the Republic of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Republic of Northern Macedonia. The data were analyzed using factor analysis in conjunction with descriptive and inferential statistics. The survey findings indicate that poverty, hunger, and access to adequate healthcare are the primary SDGs and societal challenges confronting the youth in these nations. Furthermore, it emphasizes the significance of both formal and informal education among youth as a catalyst for societal transformation for sustainable value creation.
