The idea of the application of sustainable development in the use of the natural resources of reeds area in Vojvodina has not been seriously considered so far, which has resulted in unwise management in this region. Similar situation was dominant in the past, especially during the twentieth century, which significantly influenced the degradation of the original characteristics of reeds marshland. A survey of economic activity that has been present in the area and their surroundings has emphasized the necessity of harmonized development so that the authentic natural entities would be preserved, for many reasons, for future generations. One of the ways for preserving original characteristics could be nature preservation. They have characteristics of wetlands, which have lately been given significant attention through the search for the models of wise use. An important prerequisite for familiarizing with and investigating reeds marshland is the establishment of the distinctive criteria, which has not been thoroughly investigated so far.
