Светозар Томић – Национални радник, државник и научник. (Serbian)

In the playground of those of our scientists who began their work in science at the end of the XIX and early XX centuries, and finished it before or after the Second World War, Svetozar Tomić occupies a significant and high position. He was a true systematic and methodological worker in researching complex socialist and anthropogenic issues, and without his works, the history of the regions he studied could not be written. Tomić’s works have a lasting value; they have shifted our knowledge and are inevitable in wider and deeper anthrop geographical and ethnological studies. Through the descriptions of settlements and lifestyles, Svetozar Tomić showed how much natural environment affects man and vice versa, man in the natural environment. He had an interdisciplinary approach in science, which he applied in his synthetic works. In addition, his scientific syntheses, generalizations and theories were preceded by precise tests and careful determination of the facts. Svetozar Tomić, using the method of Cvijić’s anthrop geographical school, described landscapes and folk life in the regions where tribal decorations were preserved at the time.
