ESTIMATION OF DISCHARGE IN A LABORATORY CHANNEL USING VIDEO PROCESSING
This paper presents the applicability of video-based image processing techniques for discharge estimation in a laboratory channel. Surface velocities were determined using the optical flow (OF) method, and the corresponding discharge was estimated based on these measurements. The obtained results were compared with values measured using a discharge...

THE INFLUENCE OF THE GEOLOGICAL AND HYDROGEOLOGY OF THE BANJALUKA AREA ON THE EFFICIENCY OF LOW ENTHALPY SUBGEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS
Low-enthalpy subgeothermal energy represents one of the most stable and environmentally friendly renewable energy sources for heating and cooling buildings. The efficiency of these systems largely depends on the geological and hydrogeological characteristics of the soil in which the geoprobes are installed in the case of the "soil-water" system or ...

FOSTERING THE INTEGRATION OF SHALLOW GEOTHERMAL SOLUTIONS FOR COOLING AND HEATING IN BUILDINGS IN THE DANUBE REGION
Shallow geothermal energy remains underutilized in the Danube Region despite its potential to reduce fossil fuel dependency and support EU climate goals. The Danube GeoHeCo project addresses this gap by fostering transnational cooperation, aiming to promote hybrid ground-source heat pump (GSHP) solutions. Key outputs include Transnational Action Pl...

CONSTRUCTION OF THE IBARAC TUNNEL AS PART OF THE ROŽAJE BYPASS PROJECT IN MONTENEGRO
The Ibarac tunnel was excavated as part of the Rožaje bypass project in Montenegro. Nearly half of the excavation was carried out in glaciofluvial sediments consisting of brown sandy clay with gravel and rock fragments. As the original design did not anticipate tunneling through such deposits, the subsequent adoption of overly optimistic geotechnic...

EVOLUTION OF CAD AND BIM SOFTWARE IN ARCHITECTURE, CIVIL ENGINEERING AND GEODESY
This paper examines the historical evolution of computer-aided design (CAD) and building information modeling (BIM) software in architecture, civil engineering, and geodesy. The development of digital design technologies is analyzed through several key phases, from the early experimental CAD systems of the 1960s and 1970s to the expansion of person...

REASSESING MODERNISM THROUGH THE YUGOSLAV LENS
Postwar modernist urbanism remains labelled by dominant narratives that frame modernism primarily through failure and postmodern rejection. While critiques of modernist planning have largely emerged from Western European and North American contexts, this study argues that such interpretations cannot be universally applied. The paper provides new ar...

AN INTEGRATED KPI-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR THE EVALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF NATURE-LIKE FISH PASSES – A CASE STUDY OF THE FREUDENAU HYDROPOWER PLANT
Nature-like fish passes are complex hydraulic–ecological systems whose performance is often assessed through fragmented monitoring approaches. This paper proposes an integrated KPI-based framework for the evaluation and classification of fish pass functionality, combining biological, hydraulic, and operational indicators within a structured m...

FINANCIAL AND MARKET BENEFITS OF GREEN ARCHITECTURE: A QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
Green architecture is recognized not only for its environmental and social advantages but also for its financial and market benefits. The study combines a quantitative analysis of operational cost reduction and investment return with a qualitative assessment of property value and socio-economic impacts. Case studies and literature illustrate both m...

TOWARDS ADAPTIVE MODEL OF SCHOOLYARDS: A CASE STUDY OF THE CITY OF BANJALUKA
This paper examines planning possibilities for adapting semi-public schoolyards into a network of open public and green spaces which contributes to urban resilience in the context of reduced public areas and exacerbated urban microclimate. The aim is to provide new understanding of resilience in the context of urban planning of schoolyards as open ...

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND DECISION-MAKING IN URBAN CONSERVATION - THE REVITALIZATION OF THE HERITAGE SITE TUTUNOVIĆ PODRUM, THE CENTER OF PALILULA MUNICIPALITY IN NIŠ
Urban heritage sites that have undergone radical spatial transformation present major challenges for conservation practice and urban planners. This paper examines the research methodology behind the revitalization project of the former Tutunović Podrum site in the Palilula municipality of Niš. Once the geometric and social centre of the dist...
