dc.description.abstract | Climate change, as a global pressure, pose new challenges for the urban environment. Risk
assessments and measures to reduce specific foreseeable risks have an important role in urban
planning.
Starting from the fact that (1) spatial and urban planning promote sound land use planning and
express interests in the sustainable development of land, resources and infrastructure, and (2) urban
resilience implies the capacity of a city to survive, adapt, and grow regardless to the expected and the
unexpected risks and effects of climate change, the author analyzes land use planning solutions in the
context of urban resilience in Bor – a middle-sized, mining and metallurgy city located in the East
Serbia.
It can be considered that every natural disaster essentially has an ecological nature, so the protection
measures against natural disasters are environmental measures, and the risks to emergency
situations are - ecological risks. Ecological risk assessment is of particular importance in the City of
Bor area, where mining and metallurgy industry is located, especially since the presence of one risk
entails the emergence of another, and sometimes even whole chain of risks.
This paper (1) provides an overview of the current institutional and planning framework regarding
urban resiliece in Serbia (2) outlines the importance of building urban resilience through urban
planning, especially in terms of land use solutions. Solutions in the planning documents, developed on
various planning levels for City of Bor (municipality level, master plan level and detailed regulation
level), clearly present and determine the holistically approach in the planning process, that ensures
the city’s resilience. | sr |
