Abstract
<jats:p>Stećci are medieval stone tombstones that represent a unique cultural phenomenon in both Europe and the wider world. Dating back to the late Middle Ages, they are distributed across almost the entire territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Throughout history, stećci have been exposed to various natural and anthropogenic influences, which have resulted in a gradual decline in their number. Human activities have frequently caused their destruction, most notably during wars, treasure hunting beneath the tombstones, construction activities, and agricultural practices on arable land. Today, stećci are exposed to anthropogenic impacts such as urbanization and unplanned construction, pollution and waste disposal, the construction of road infrastructure, as well as various economic activities. Such treatment of stećci, combined with the negative effects of natural processes, has highlighted the need for serious consideration of their protection and the development of effective preservation models. The most vulnerable necropolises are those located near cities experiencing rapid urbanization. Examples can be found in the area of the city of East Sarajevo. The aim of this paper is to analyze anthropogenic impacts on three stećak necropolises Crnač, Pavlovac, and Krupac located in the area of the City of East Sarajevo. The research methodology includes the application of geospatial technologies in the implementation of both direct and indirect research methods. The research results showed that the Pavlovac and Crnač necropolises belong to the category of highly vulnerable sites, while the Krupac necropolis belongs to the category of moderately vulnerable sites.</jats:p>
