Abstract
Efficient and effective resource protection from the perspective of society usually involves minimizing costs and capital commitment in any way, while maximizing the percentage of resource utilization. Effective resource management from the perspective of the environment means leaving them in their natural, intact, state. On the other hand, effective and efficient resource protection management activities from the perspective of the army involve efficient resource protection measures during peacetime, emergencies, and even wartime. The aim of this paper is to help develop an adaptive, integrative education model for resource protection, addressing the contemporary needs both within the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Ministry of environmental protection (MEP) of the Republic of Serbia. The paper offers an in-depth analysis of related core terms: improvement of the current approach to the subject area, nature of the resources that are subject to protection, and different modalities of protection. The applied methodology consists of comparative analysis, statistical methods, and multi-criteria evaluation and assessment. Core determinants (ranking) within the defined model are specified by means of expert judgments method. Obtained results are intended to be used in further implementation processes regarding the developed model.
