Abstract:
The city of Prijedor has significant land areas and mineral resources deposits (iron ore, clay, gravel, etc.). These natural resources represents a significant precondition for the development of primary and processing capacities in the field of exploitation of mineral resources, agriculture, and other forms of economic activities. At the same time, the development of these activities poses a potential danger that unplanned and uncontrolled land use, and failure to comply with the principles of sustainable development, will significantly impede the environment in this area. The use and exploitation of land in the area of the city of Prijedor has so far taken place to a significant extent without planned, organized and systematic implementation of protection measures.One of the most significant forms of land degradation is the unplanned and irrational exploitation of mineral resources without implementing the program of remediation of degraded areas.Other forms of soil endangerment through uncontrolled use of chemicals in agriculture, uncontrolled disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and inadequate land management systems are also significantly present. These phenomena were manifested through the appearance of significant degraded land surfaces after the exploitation of mineral resources and the pollution of the soil through the accumulation of various pollutants leading to significant ecological consequences. Since land represents an extremely important natural resource and ecosystem base and natural values, it is necessary to establish an adequate and high quality protection system. To this end it is necessary to fully respect the principles of sustainable development through the conceptualized and planned development and use of the land, to implement the programs of remediation of degraded areas in a timely manner, to establish control over the use of chemicals in agriculture, as well as to conduct systematic soil monitoring in the area of Prijedor.
