Koncept teritorijalnog ustroja Jadranske Hrvatske

Abstract

In this work, the author’s starting point is a maximum quality and functional territorial organisation of Croatia, especially its littoral area. Adriatic Croatia, as well as Eastern (Pannonian) and Northwestern Croatia, is one of the three defined (future) Euroregions NUTS II in Croatia. It was suggested in its current territorial coverage by the Republic of Croatia, and accepted by Eurostat in 2007. It includes all littoral counties (7) of Croatia, covering 24.7 thousand km2 with 1.4 million inhabitants (2011). The paper discusses a possible differentiation of this strategic littoral Adriatic area on three functional (gravitational) regions of the third level (NUTS III) according to the criteria of the Croatian Government on efficient decentralisation and new regionalisation of Croatia. Namely, some littoral counties do not meet the European demographic criterion for statistical NUTS III region (150-800 thousand inhabitants) although, in general, Croatian counties meet this criterion. That is why the author, applying demographic, geographic, economic, administrative and other criteria, stresses the need for defining the demographically maximally coordinated three nodal-functional, i.e., gravitational regions with their centres in Rijeka, Zadar and Split. So, the Rijeka region would potentially cover Istria, Kvarner and Gorski Kotar areas with 505,000 inhabitants (2011), Zadar region would cover North Dalmatian and Lika areas with 330,000 inhabitants, and Split region would include Middle Dalmatian and Dubrovnik (South Dalmatian) areas with 578,000 inhabitants. The area of Lika is functionally and economically most optimally oriented towards Zadar, with regard to new processes of highway linking and the recent fast development of Zadar.

“…Downy oak and sessile oak (Quercion pubescenti-petraeae) predominate in fields, forests and thickets, where white hornbeam (Carpinetum orientalis s.l.) is also present [41].…”

“…The landscape of Lika includes characteristic slopes bounded by the longest Croatian mountain Velebit-the highest peak of Lika (Vaganski vrh, 1757 m)-in the west-southwest, by Velika Kapela and Mala Kapela in the northwest, and by Plješivica (highest peak Ozeblin, 1657 m) in the east [41].…”

Geoekološko vrednovanje reljefa otoka Hvara s aspekta poljodjelske valorizacije

“…Otok Hvar karakterizira duga poljodjelska tradicija čiji su tragovi ostali "urezani" u njegov krajolik još od vremena antike (Slika 2). Poljodjelska je djelatnost na otoku Hvaru koncentrirana uglavnom na Hvarskom polju, a poljodjelski je valorizirana i zaravan Plame (Magaš, 2013). Uzimajući u obzir ranije registrirane vidove (ne)korištenja pojedinih dijelova krajolika otoka Hvara za poljodjelsku valorizaciju te prirodna i društvena obilježja, koja djeluju kao olakšavajući čimbenici za poljodjelsku valorizaciju (pomoću kojih se ocjenjuje stupanj pogodnosti ili eventualna ograničenja), postavljene su sljedeće hipoteze: H1: Najveći dio otoka Hvara nije povoljan za poljodjelsku valorizaciju.…”
