| description | In December 2021 and January 2022, the inhabitants of the City of Pančevo
were surveyed using the random sampling method to find out to what extent
they are aware of the existence of protected areas in their vicinity and how
often they use them for outdoor trips and recreation. With the same aim, the
inhabitants of the City of Vršac were also surveyed in mid-2022. This paper
presents the results concerning the youth of these two cities. The survey
covered 2.6% of the population between 15 and 24 years old in the City of
Pančevo and 2.2% of the population between 15 and 24 years old in the City
of Vršac. Less than half of the respondents have the habit of going to
nature in their free time, and the main obstacles to this are the lack of
free time and money, as well as the lack of direct public transport
connections. In addition to the main research hypothesis, some other
hypotheses were tested related to the similarities or differences between
different groups of respondents in terms of the type of outdoor activities
they engage in. The results obtained are important for planning future
activities to preserve, improve and promote these valuable sites. |
