Žene u mirovnim operacijama i odlučivanju u sektoru bezbednosti

Popović, M., & Cvetković, V. (2012). Žene u mirovnim operacijama i odlučivanju u sektoru bezbednosti [Women in peacekeeping operations and decision-making in the security sector]. Kultura – Polis, 1(1), 201–214. ЖЕНЕ КАО УЧЕСНИЦИ У МИРОВНИМ ОПЕРАЦИЈАМА И ДОНОСИОЦИ ОДЛУКА У СЕКТОРУ БЕЗБЕДНОСТИ Сажетак: Савет безбедности Уједињених нација усвојио је 2000. годи- не Резолуцију 1325, која се залаже за процес интеграције жена у сферу безбед- ности и њихово учествовање у основним операцијама достизања и очувања мира и безбедности. Процес интеграције жена у ту област подразумева равноп- равно учешће жена у конфликтним ситуацијама, ради превенције насиља, из- грађивања мира и спровођења хуманитарних операција. Резолуција 1325 је такође и документ којим је гарантована родна равноправност и заштита права жена у конфликтним подручјима. Потреба заштите права жена као пасивних или активних учесника оружаних сукоба произлази, с једне стране, из њихове рањивости и угрожености последицама оружаних сукоба, а са друге стране, из чињенице да жене као доносиоци одлука у сектору безбедности по природи теже ненасилним и неоружаним начинима решавања проблема. Међутим, спровођење Резолуције 1325 у пракси наилази на многобројне проблеме, па се улога жена у сектору безбедности занемарује, и често се своди само на фор- мално присуство у различитим структурама, без могућности жена да равнопра- вно учествују у процесима планирања, одлучивања и спровођења одлука. Циљ    marija.popovic@kpa.edu.rs  vladimir.cvetkovic@kpa.edu.rs  Овај рад је резултат реализовања научноистраживачког пројекта под називом „Развој институционалних капацитета, стандарда и процедура за супротстављање организова- ном криминалу и тероризму у условима међународних интеграција”.

Risk perception of building fires in Belgrade

Cvetković, V. M. (2019). Risk perception of building fires in Belgrade. International Journal of Disaster Risk Management, 1(1), 81–91. Risk Perception of Building Fires in Belgrade Vladimir M. Cvetković1* 1 Faculty of Security Studies, University of Belgrade, Gospodara Vucica 50, 11040 Belgrade, Serbia; vmc@fb.bg.ac.rs * Correspondence: vmc@fb.bg.ac.rs Received: 10 November 2018; Accepted: 25 December 2018; Published: 28 March 2019 Abstract: Starting from the frequency and seriousness of fire in residential buildings in the area of Belgrade, this paper presents the results of research on the perception of cit- izens’ risks of fires in residential buildings. A series of 322 face-to-face interviews were conducted at the beginning of 2017 in Belgrade. The results of multivariate regressions of risk perception of building fires show that the most important predictor of perceived risk of building fires is fear, age, employment status, income level, and marital status. The remaining variables (e.g., gender, education level, previous experience) did not have a significant impact. Respondents who have fear, are married, have higher income, and elderly people perceive the higher level of risk in relation to those who have no fear, live alone, have lower incomes and younger persons. The results of the research can be used to improve the level of safety of citizens by raising their awareness of the risks of fires in housing facilities by designing and using appropriate educational programs and campaigns. Keywords: fire risk; perception; building fires; Belgrade.   Introduction The perception of the risk of fires in residential buildings is a significant and determining dimension of the process of planning the protection and rescue of people. Lack of awareness about the level of probability and possible consequences of fire can result in a high level of non-taking preventive measures by citizens. According to official data obtained from the RS Emergency Situations Department, the number of […]

This study examines the role of the Red Cross of Serbia in delivering Psychosocial First Aid (PFA), highlighting it as a vital yet underrepresented component within the broader scope of emergency response. Grounded in a theoretical framework, the paper outlines the core principles of PFA, its significance during crises, and the psychosocial impact of disasters on individuals and communities. It further explores the relationship between mental health and community resilience, underscoring the importance of mental recovery in disaster contexts. Utilising a qualitative approach, the study draws on an expert interview […]
