This paper explores ethno-villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina as an important element of rural cultural tourism. The attractiveness natural heritage is very for sustainable tourism development. In order to improve the process decision making enable development ethno-villages, a multi-criteria assessment model has been developed. methodology based on qualitative modeling using analysis via DEXi software. hierarchical relations consisting three main criteria that are basis development:...

Abstract Background: Besides visiting the main tourist attractions in Slovenia, many tourists want to spend their free time countryside as well, but number of farming establishments Slovenia diminished distinctly last years. Objectives: This paper aims develop a system dynamics model, with goal analyse diversification agricultural holdings into farm tourism activities Slovenia. Methods/Approach: A methodology was chosen model tourism. First, we present basic concept causal loop diagram....

Purpose This paper aims to analyse the main variables and causal relationships in system structure of diversification non-agricultural activities on agricultural holdings using dynamics (SD) modelling. The SD model simulate depictions behaviour real while testing effects alternative decisions over time. Design/methodology/approach An methodology was chosen farm tourism. Findings A approach increases authors’ understanding transition results indicate that tourism depends level development a...

ABSTRACT The nutritional, technological and processing characteristics of spelt wheat make it suitable for organic farming. Furthermore, can be directly processed into different kinds food products on the farm itself, represents additional business market opportunities farmers. In this paper we examine alternatives a chosen in northeastern Slovenia. Simulation modeling, cost-benefit analysis multi-criteria decision were applied order to find most solution analyzed farm. presented...

The study determined the internal quality (the total phenol, sugar, organic acid contents, antioxidant activity, and mineral components) physical parameters in flesh of red beetroots produced different production systems (conventional, integrated, organic, control) using established methods. Organic cropping beetroot plants significantly reduced yield by 27% some macro minerals (P at 23.1, K 13.1, Mg 7.7%) comparison with conventional but increased ascorbic 23.3%, activity 30.3%, micro (Na...

This paper describes a computer vision system, based on image processing and machine learning techniques, which was implemented for automatic assessment of germination rate the tomato seeds (Solanum lycopersicum L.).The entire system built using open source applications ImageJ, WEKA their public Java classes linked by specially developed code.No expensive commercial software used.Several classification algorithms, Naive Bayes classifiers (NBC), k-nearest neighbours (k-NN), decision trees,...

The paper analyses the influence of four main weather parameters on alpha-acid contents for hop variety Aurora (Super Styrian Aurora) in Slovenian production time period 1994-2009. Through inspection correlation coefficients, it tries to find specific times year when conditions affect content with a view prediction Slovenia. most significant periods that influenced during growing season are identified as attributes temperatures calculated from interval 25th 30th week (T2530, r = -0.88, P <...

ABSTRACT The need for reliable information in the organic farm planning process dictates use of modern decision support methods. methodology an integrated deterministic simulation system application decision-making on farms is described this article. KARSIM 1.0 consists 74 production models that enable different types costs and financial feasibility calculations food processing. was applied a sample five business alternatives. model results are further evaluated with two multi-objective...

This paper presents and reviews agricultural terminology to gain a better understanding of the terms. The authors examine such phrases as sustainable agriculture, animal production, good practice, integrated crop management, ecological biological organic permaculture peaceful agriculture. In addition, they discuss possibilities for further development environmental measures by categorizing them into‘Brussels' and‘non-Brussels’. Finally, raise questions about new challenges that have arisen...

Farm tourism shows a structure different from agriculture, forestry, and fishery; farm is expanding, labour intensive, generates an influx of money, maintains the service base in region. one most important supplementary activities considerable secondary income. This paper presents developed methodology that will enable ranking tourist farms based on their quality. accomplished through use expert system DEXi decision-making method. Using DEXi, multi-criteria decision model for assessment...

This paper presents the system for assessment of energy crops biogas production. The is based on simulation modelling and multi criteria decision analysis. deterministic consists production models that enable different types costs calculations crops, electrical heat in Simulation model results were further evaluated using a qualitative multi-attribute methodology (supported by software tool DEX-i) quantitative analytical hierarchical process – AHP Expert Choice 2000TM). analysis showed...

Cattle breeding is a very important part of agricultural production in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), milk has vital place cattle production.From an economic point view, interesting as it daily which presupposes faster marketing, accelerates capital movement agriculture, turn enhances liquidity.This research uses analyses the existing state production.The collected data are processed cost calculation been designed enables analysis indicators 4 dairy farm models B&H.Based on features values...

The content of this paper presents the research results a three-year project in which multi-criteria evaluation model (according to DEX methodology) was developed for three different food sectors (represented by cattle breeding chain, pig farming and milk production chain) with added value Slovenia. Indicators assessment economically, socially, environmentally sustainable development chains were taken into account. data analysis, such as prices costs food, wage levels sector, miles others,...

This paper presents a simulation model for determining the most suitable type of microbiogas plant small local communities on Slovenian farms, focusing efficient processing organic waste. uses various input parameters, including different types and quantities slurry corn silage. Four scenarios were developed to represent potential sizes, each evaluated using key economic indicators: net present value, breakthrough price, internal rate return. A scenario sensitivity analysis was conducted...
