<jats:p>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.</jats:p>
