| Title : | URBAN SOCIAL ANALYSIS AND OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT OF NATIONAL SYSTEM FOR MOSQUITO MONITORING IN MONTENEGRO |
| Abstract : | The paper captures the urban respondents’ position with regard to the suitability of implementation of a mosquito monitoring and control system. The captured and assessed components point to the perception of the current state of the affairs, the importance of the topic in terms of health and impact from the family to the economy scale, the current private expenditure to compensate the household level of safety regarding the mosquitos and the diseases they can transport, the readiness and willingness to support the redesigned and implemented system, the shared distribution of responsible actors and their involvement and financial support. The multi-strata sample verifies for validity with the general population and allows the extrapolation of the findings at national level. The findings indicate not only a very high level of awareness and a quantified yet not formulated need for the implementation of the mosquito monitoring and control system but gives precise indication about the estimated readiness of the urban citizens underlining the importance they grant to the impact of the functional system expected. |
