The subject of this paper is the influence of anthropogenic factors on the state of erosion in the rural part of the municipality of Vozdovac. The aim of the research is the analysis of the influence of the local population on land resources, based on the past and present state of erosion and sediment production, the usage of land resources, as well as natural and mechanical population movements. The municipality of Vozdovac is one of the 17 municipalities in Belgrade area, which covers an area of 15,000 ha. The municipal territory includes both urban and rural parts (9216 ha). When it comes to how land resources are used, it is a characteristic example of erosion processes in the mountainous Belgrade area. This paper presents an analysis of the degree of erosion threat to agricultural land in the municipality of Vozdovac, including three periods (1971; 1988; 2012), where the method used is the erosion potential method by professor Gavrilovic. However, the calculation of sediment yield was made by the method of S. Gavrilovic. The analysis of demographic factors pointed to the influence of anthropogenic factors on the state of erosion. Mathematical methods were used - geometric and exponential progression for population projections in 2020 and 2030. The results of this study showed that the intensity of erosion in that area significantly decreased and that it has a tendency of further decline.

Climate change adaptation can be defined as a form of risk management (i.e. assessing climate change-related risks and responding appropriately so that the risks can be pre-emptively minimised and managed as they arise). Adapting to climate change by hospital and community health services will entail responding to changing health needs of the local population, and to the likely effects of climate change on health service resources, workforce and infrastructure. In this paper we apply a model that health services can use to predict and respond to climate change risks and illustrate this with reference to Sydney’s Local Health Districts (LHDs). We outline the climate change predictions for the Sydney metropolitan area, discuss the resulting vulnerabilities for LHDs and consider the potential of LHDs to respond. Three ‘core business’ categories are examined: (1) ambulance, emergency and acute health care; (2) routine health care; and (3) population and preventative health services. We consider the key climate change risks and vulnerabilities of the LHDs’ workforce, facilities and finances, and some important transboundary issues. Many Australian health services have existing robust disaster plans and management networks. These could be expanded to incorporate local climate and health adaptation plans. What is known about the topic? There is an inextricable relationship between climate change and human health, with important implications for the delivery of health services. Climate change will affect health service demand, and the resources, workforce and infrastructure of health services. What does this paper add? This paper outlines how local health services can use existing data sources and models for assessing their climate change-related risks and vulnerabilities to predict, prepare for and respond to those risks. This is illustrated with reference to Sydney’s LHDs. What are the implications for practitioners? Adaptation to climate change by health services is an important component of risk management. Local health services need to prepare for the effects of climate change by assessing the risks and developing and implementing climate and health adaptation plans.

Asian and non-Asian referrals to the department of child psychiatry at the London Hospital in 1987 were analysed. Asian referrals were under-represented with respect to the local population but, contrary to our expectations, there were no significant differences between the groups with regard to demographic data, the nature of the presenting problem, and attrition rates.
