Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to raise the awareness of the importance of light pollution as an essential, but neglected factor that impacts the living and the built environment. One of the main causes of light pollution is the continual economic growth of the cities. Two studies have been presented with an aim of clarifying the attempts made so far in establishing the way population growth and living standards affect light pollution. The unique contribution of this paper is that the correlation between the economic parameters that imply a certain living standard of a country to the level of its light pollution is analysed using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. For the first time a very accurate VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) is used for the measurements of light radiation in order to determine such a correlation. The analysis takes into account the African continent as one of the poorest parts of the world, and Europe, as one of the richest continents. The conseq...uences of light pollution and some ways of reducing and minimizing it have been explained through case studies. The paper highlights the need for change in local authorities' approach to solving the problem of light pollution, raising citizens' awareness of the issue, as well as proposing zoning parameters in lighting design of public spaces.

Rad ima za cilj da skrene pažnju na važnost pojave svetlosnog zagađenja kao bitnog, a zanemarenog faktora koji utiče na životnu sredinu, ali i da stavi akcenat na glavne uzročnike i posledice istog, koje mogu biti širokih razmera. Jedan od važnih uzročnika porasta nivoa svetlosnog zagađenja je ekonomski razvoj gradova. U cilju pojašnjenja dosadašnjih pokušaja da se ustanovi na koji način porast populacije i životnog standarda utiču na količinu svetlosnog zagađenja, izdvajaju se dva naučna istraživanja u kojima se analizira ovaj odnos. Jedinstven doprinos ovog rada je činjenica da je za analizu međusobne povezanosti ekonomskih parametara koji ukazuju na nivo životnog standarda u državi i nivoa svetlosnog zagađenja korišćen Pirsonov koficijent korelacije. Po prvi put se za utvrđivanje ove korelacije koriste merenja svetlosnog zračenja vrlo preciznim VIIRS uređajima o kojima će reči biti kasnije. U iznetim studijama slučaja su obuhvaćene zemlje afričkog kontinenta, kao najsiromašnijeg del...a sveta i evropskog kontinenta, kao jednog od bogatijih kontinenata. U radu se ističe potreba za neophodnom i korenitom promenom u pristupu gradske uprave rešavanju problema svetlosnog zagađenja, podizanjem svesti građana i uvođenjem pojma zoniranja u domenu planiranog osvetljenja javnih gradskih prostora.
