Današnja turistička uspješnost najstarijega hrvatskoga nacionalnog parka
rezultat je brojnih dugotrajnih gospodarskih, ekonomskih i infrastrukturnih projekata koji svoj početak imaju još u vremenu ...Austro-Ugarske. Važnu ulogu u nastanku i razvoju turizma na području Plitvičkih jezera imala je i lokalna zajednica, odnosno područje bivše općine Titova Korenica. Rad stoga prvenstveno prikazuje važne komunalne projekte koji su u većoj mjeri pratili znatan razvoj turizma u novoproglašenom nacionalnom parku i njegovoj bližoj okolici. Ovdje se u prvom redu misli na razdoblje nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata, odnosno socijalističku Jugoslaviju, kada je uz novu rigidnu političku paradigmu trebalo nastojati ostvarivati nove oblike gospodarskoga razvoja prateći suvremene turističke razvojne silnice.
Communal construction formed the basis of tourism and economic development in the Plitvice region during the era of Socialist Yugoslavia; it was torn between realistic financial capabilities and political-economic ambitions. The Plitvice Lakes area and its vicinity needed to be rebuilt after the human and material losses sustained during World War II. The foundations were shaky; the inherited difficulties in the development of rural modernisation inherent to Lika were especially pronounced and were a major stumbling block to the development of the Korenica and Plitvice region. Local political and economic entities were aware of the development potentials, but were tied to the socialist paradigm of progress through five-year plans during the 1950s and 1960s. Communal infrastructure played an important role in this context; it needed to be rebuilt from scratch so that it could keep up with the real needs of the population and business entities under social ownership. The construction of communal infrastructure itself was mostly concentrated in the National Park area,
though certain difficulties appeared in its implementation even there, and remain present to some extent today. Despite the difficulties faced by the officials of Titova Korenica Municipality, the development of tourism in Plitvice Lakes was never in question. The reason behind the specific approach to Plitvice Lakes National Park is that this protected
area was one of the key development resources of national interest, and
has remained such to this day. On the other hand, the surrounding municipal area, like the National Park area itself, never developed an even approximately similar historical dynamic.
The 1970s and 1980s brought the most visible improvements in the strategic planning of the economic development of tourism in Plitvice Lakes, which was then turned over to public communal projects and new forms of protection of certain areas of the National Park. The company as a large self-governing work organisation, bolstered through numerous investments, also became the main development engine for other parts of the municipality, even though the development of Plitvice Lakes was planned and based on the republican and federal level and was in some ways self-sufficient. Certain difficulties and challenges of the overtourism
process that affects the Plitvice Lakes area today are partially the consequence of certain failed tourism projects and the lack of communal infrastructure in this part of Mountainous Croatia.
This paper discusses the emergence, existence, and fate of a planned, systematic town in a passive region of the then Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia – later renamed to Socialist Federal ...Republic of Yugoslavia – in the period after World War II. The author critically assesses the reasons for the creation and construction of a modern town at the locality of Lički Osik in central Lika. The town was entirely dependent on and shared the same fate with the military industrial facility “Marko Orešković”, as it was built to support its production. Economic, social, and cultural ups and downs marked the half-century existence of this town, defining both its uncertain present and its promising future. Based on unpublished archival documents from that period, the author has reconstructed the reasons and modes of existence of the planned military enterprise as well as the associated town, which remains emblematic as an unrealistic and misunderstood economic development project in this part of Croatia.

U radu se s povijesno-geografskog aspekta razmatra nastanak, razvoj i slabljenje senjskog parobrodarstva, ključnog elementa ukupnoga socijalnog i gospodarskog napretka Senja na prijelazu iz 19. u 20. ...stoljeće. Početkom 19. stoljeća senjska luka je bila, zahvaljujući posebnoj gradskoj autonomiji i suvremenoj cestovnoj povezanosti, jedno od najvažnijih pomorskih trgovačkih središta Hrvatskog primorja i Jadrana u cjelini, čiji su stanovnici važni sudionici u brojnim društvenim, gospodarskim i političkim previranjima. Zasigurno je i razvoj parobrodarstva omogućio Senjanima dobar položaj na sve zahtjevnijem ekonomskom tržištu. U radu se analiziraju i važni uzroci slabljenja senjskog gospodarstva koji su u vrijeme Kraljevine Jugoslavije Senj izolirali od do tada prevladavajućih pomorskih i gospodarskih silnica te bitno utjecali na opći socioekonomski život grada.
Autor objašnjava uzroke koji su doveli do uhićenja senjskog političara i pjesnika Antuna Mateše Kuhačevića od strane austrijskih vlasti, kao i tadašnje gospodarsko-društvene odnose u vojnom ...komunitetu Senju. U radu se prezentiraju do danas poznate činjenice i kontroverze o političkom djelovanju Antuna Mateše Kuhačeviću, a s ciljem da se razjasni tragičan boravak i svršetak toga senjskoga odličnika koji je dvadeset i šest godina proveo u kaznionicama u Spielbergu i Schlossberg u Gracu. Okosnica rada jest analiza arhivskog gradiva pohranjenog u Štajerskom arhivu u Gracu nakon smrti senjskog književnika. Objašnjava se i tijek pravne borbe njegove sestre za pismenom i novčanom ostavštinom. Rad opisuje uvjete u kojima je djelovao Mateša Kuhačević, dok na kraju autor daje i pregled literature koja je pronađena u zatvorskoj knjižnici hrvatskog baroknog pjesnika 18. stoljeća.
Postojanje udruga jedan je od najreprezentativnijih pokazatelja određenog stupnja razvoja stanovnika na nekom području. Udruge (društva) su kroz povijest, a posebice danas, najuspješniji model po ...kojem određena skupina ljudi može ostvariti sveopći građanski razvoj. Visok stupanj urbaniteta, građanske i vjerske kulture ostvarivao se kroz djelovanja građanskih udruga i u podvelebitskom prostoru, od Senja na sjeveru do Lukova Šugarja na jugu. Osim građanskog sloja u Senju i Karlobagu, važnu ulogu u prosvjećivanju, sveopćem boljitku, ali i ostanku u zavičaju imali su i stanovnici podgorskih sela i zaselaka. U radu će se analizirati djelovanje raznih tipova udruga i zadruga poput čitaonica, strukovnih, gospodarskih, humanitarnih i sličnih udruga koje su osnovane i djelovale tijekom 19. i prve polovice 20. stoljeća u Svetom Jurju, Jablancu i Karlobagu. Središnje mjesto u razvoju civilnog društva zasigurno je imao Karlobag pa će se u radu nastojati prikazati upravo djelovanje građanskih udruga, počevši od jedne od najstarijih čitaonica u Hrvatskoj do posljednjih pokušaja njihova rada pred Drugi svjetski rat. Stoga ovaj članak daje jedan povijesni presjek društvenog i kulturnog života ovog demografski osiromašenog dijela republike Hrvatske.
During World War II, the Roma population in Croatia was exposed to the repression and assimilation policy of several authorities. Ustasha authorities in the Independent State of Croatia persecuted ...Roma based on racial laws aimed at their genocidal extermination. This paper analyses the position of Roma in some present-day Croatian areas, especially in the Croatian Littoral, which were under Italian (Fascist) rule during the war. Only a few dozen Roma lived in these border areas before the war, who were already subject to the repressive-assimilation policies of the official Italian authorities. This is evidenced by the provisions issued by the aforementioned authorities with the aim of better monitoring the movement of Roma in the Italian–Yugoslav border area. As World War II approached, it was noticeable that the Italian authorities’ relationship with the Roma was intensifying, because they feared, first and foremost, Roma espionage and association with the anti-fascist (communist) resistance movement. The deportation of Roma from the wider Istrian area to internment camps in southern Italy, Sardinia, etc. must be observed in this context. According to other Roma living in the Croatian Littoral, the Italian authorities often sought to control their movements, especially after the establishment of the Independent State of Croatia in April 1941, when attempts were made to reach the Roma in areas under Italian rule. This paper studies the attitude of Croatian anti-fascists towards the Roma. Some tension (conflicts) can be seen in the perception of the indigenous population towards the Roma, in this case in the Omišalj area on the island of Krk. The Roma population managed to survive the war in the Croatian Littoral area, though a considerable number of them died.
