U vizuri mjesta Svetog Jurja smještenog u podvelebitskom primorju oko sedam kilometara južno od Senja dominira manji otočić Lisac. Blizina kopna i relativno plitka dubina tjesnaca privukla je ...pozornost istraživača i trasirala put pretpostavkama o povezanosti otoka s kopnom tijekom prošlosti. U radu se predstavljaju rezultati pregleda podmorja kojima je potvrđeno postojanje arheoloških potencijala. Lokalitet uključuje tragove maritimnih konstrukcija u obliku komunikacijskog nasipa i umjetno stvorenog platoa, a analiza keramičke građe pokazuje da su se znatne prostorne aktivnosti u maritimnom krajoliku Lisca vjerojatno dogodile tijekom kasnog brončanog doba. U obradi prikupljenog materijala najveća pozornost pridana je nalazima briketaža. Pod tim pojmom podrazumijeva se repertoar izrađevina od pečene zemlje – potpornih stupića i recipijenata koji su služili u prapovijesnoj produkciji soli prisilnim isušivanjem morske vode, a brojnost ulomaka takvih specifičnih predmeta na lokalitetu snažna je potvrda ubikacije proizvodne lokacije. U kontekstu toga raspravlja se o karakteru lokaliteta, korelaciji između prostornih karakteristika položaja te zahtjeva, potreba i tehnoloških aspekata produkcije soli briketažom, s osvrtom na implikacije koje je ta djelatnost mogla imati unutar socioekonomskih okvira na mikroregionalnoj razini.
Blue development and blue economy are relatively new terms, although blue economy has been developing for centuries. Its potential on European, Croatian or regional level is huge. New researches ...point out that the Blue Economy impact will double in next ten years. Although present in theory since 1990ties, blue economy in last few years as a part of the answer on the global challenges, has been followed by the aspects of Green Development, Green Economy Green Growth as synonyms for desirable and necessary transition towards sustainability. The definition of Green Economy in perspective of long-term sustainability, environment protection and reduced use of natural resources is defined as well. Recognizing the importance of blue-green economy for the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County (PGKC) development, the authors describe the potentials and possibilities for development of the region, as well as analyse natural and other preconditions and point out the reached level of blue-green economy innovative sectors. The purpose of this research is to explain the importance of coastal area as a basic determinant for the blue-green economy as well as to analyze the development level of the blue-green economy in European Union, Croatia and PGKC. This paper determined the spatial, geographical, technical-technological and economical potential of PGKC, defined the regional advantages, peculiarities and limits of the blue-green economy implementation in PGKC and set the recommendations for the balanced development and maximal use of extensive regional potential.
Based on the liberal Slovenian newspapers from Trieste (Edinost) and Gorizia (Soča), the paper focuses on the idea of introducing the third state unit in the Habsburg Monarchy before the First World ...War. The author first presents the broader context in which the concept was formed and then analyses the comments of two newspapers on the reactions of various political groups, their ambitions, and the national tensions that arose in the context of discussing the proposed reform. The author argues that the trialist concept was, foremost, an Austrian attempt to federalize the Habsburg Monarchy in order to reduce the strength of Hungary. At the beginning of the 20th century, the majority of Slovenes and Croats, including the Slovene liberals from Trieste and Gorizia, supported this idea because it implied their political emancipation. On the other hand, Hungarians, Italians, German nationalists, and Serbs saw this concept as a threat to their own national interests. In the further development of the trialist concept, due to Austria’s ambitions to satisfy the Italians, Trieste and Gorizia were excluded from the imagined third unit, which led to tensions between the Slovenian liberals and conservatives, and in the Croatian-Slovenian relations as well. The Slovenian liberals from Trieste and Gorizia began to advocate the idea of a broader federalism, where the Habsburg Monarchy would have more than three federal units, while in the context of South Slavic relations they were inclined to Serbian state visions.
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.

Croatia is one of the major Mediterranean destinations for nautical tourism owing to its countless attractions, indented coastline, numerous islands, climatic and other advantages. An important ...factor for achieving a full development potential is the availability of infra- and supra-structure, which is reflected through investments in new marinas, anchorages and other facilities. The article analyses accommodation capacities of ports for nautical tourism in Croatia. The authors give an overview of the current situation with an emphasis on the County of Primorje-Gorski Kotar. The purpose of this article is to analyse the growing need for accommodation capacities in nautical tourism ports and to point to the importance of building new marinas and berths, especially for boats long between 12 and 15 meters.
Koprsko primorje je najbolj obiskano turistično območje v Sloveniji. Velik turistični obisk vpliva tudi na značilnosti prometa na tem območju. Analiza podatkov o dnevnem številu vozil za števna mesta ...prometa na tem območju je pokazala, da so spremembe v obsegu prometa v veliki meri povezane z razpoložljivostjo prostega časa in vremenom. Kljub temu so glede intenzivnosti in opaznosti tovrstnih vplivov znotraj območja precejšnje razlike, saj se na njem prepletajo vplivi turizma, drugih gospodarskih dejavnosti in lokalnega prebivalstva.
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.
The Croatian Littoral has been the most important tourist destination for tourists from Slovenia for decades. The coastal areas of Istria, Kvarner, and Dalmatia, including the Adriatic islands, ...became widely popular among Slovenes in the period of intense tourism development in the once common state of Yugoslavia. Today Croatia is the destination of as many as 60% of all private trips from Slovenia. In the introduction the affinity of Slovene tourists for travel abroad is supplemented with statistical data on their visits to the Republic of Croatia. In the next sections special emphasis is placed on the number of Slovene tourists and overnight stays, their average length of stay and spatial distribution in the Croatian Littoral in 2007. These data are then compared to those from 1999. The central section of the article consists of a detailed analysis of the content of the internet tourism offer of Slovene travel agencies as presented on their websites. The objects of the analysis were the structure of advertised destinations in the Croatian Littoral across counties and the structure of offer by type of tourist services (summer vacation, travelling/trip, cruising).
