Abstract

Urban safety represents a complex and multifaceted term, and its ecological aspect is becoming increasingly important due to constant increase in pollution level, particularly in rapidly expanding urban areas. Traffic is recognized as one of the most significant sources of the emissions of pollutants in urban zones across the world, including the cities in Serbia as well. That is the reason why the authors of this paper explain the link between environment quality and protection on the one hand and urban safety, on the other, with special focus on traffic as the source of pollution in urban areas. Moreover, the authors explore actual reaction of the society to this problem, through the analysis of reports and legal and strategic framework relevant to the prevention and minimization of pollution in urban areas caused by traffic. On the grounds of experiences from other countries, the authors also make recommendations for decision and public policy makers in the sphere of traffic and ecology, with the aim to improve this aspect of urban safety in Serbia.
