Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The Study on Sustainable Development through Eco-Tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina Final Report VOL.3 - PART D MASTER PLAN AND ACTION PLAN FOR PLIVA Part D - 1 The Study on Sustainable Development through Eco-Tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina Final Report Part D - 2 The Study on Sustainable Development through Eco-Tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina Final Report Chapter D 1. Visions and Directions for Regional Development of Pliva Study Area Overall development goals and strategies are shown in Chapter D 1. In this chapter are provided development visions and directions specific to the Pliva Study Area in line with the goals and strategies described as above. 1.1 Development Visions Visions for the Pliva Study Area were formulated to show how the region’s tourism growth and tourism product diversity, people’s livelihood and resource base would become by the targeted year of 2015. Also shown are the region’s directions for growth driven by eco-tourism. Pliva Study Area will be a BiH’s leading eco-tourism destination of rich river basin surrounded by green mountains and gently undulating pastures, with active tourism industry, communities working and the government in partnership, and attractive tourism products, adopting vigorous development, quality management, and marketing. Every reach of the Pliva River with tributaries will offer a diverse set of water sports-tourism activities. It will be supported by citizens’ voluntary beautification activities to keep water bodies and their ambient environment clean. Moreover, the municipality’s capacity will greatly be strengthened to effect inspection and monitoring on industrial emission gas and waste load to be generated from urban agglomeration. The surroundings of Pliva River Basin will have an intensive voluntary activity of forest resources conservation and will offer diversified eco-tourism products operated by local communities and CBO. The downstream of the Pliva will offer a rich set of historical and cultural heritage, attracting more of foreign and domestic tourists via the National Main Road M5 and the National Main Road M16. The both roads will support to create new international tourism corridor for Pliva Study Area linking with international markets in Europe and Ex-Yugoslavia and domestic markets in BiH. Direct marketing and trading of farm and other local produces, ventured by Eco-House, will make a great success in establishing a “Pliva Brand” for nation-wide recognition. Recipes Part D - 3 The Study on Sustainable Development through Eco-Tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina Final Report 1.2 Development Directions for Pliva Study Area 1.2.1 Regional Context As the result of EU RED Study, regional development visions and contexts for Northwest Region, which covers the northwestern part of BiH including three municipalities of the Pliva Study Area, were clearly identified to provide a foundation for the sustainable socio-economic development of the region over the next 20 years as shown below: Vision Statement for Northwest Region: a place where people benefit from the advantages of the diversity of its economic potentials; with a well-employed and well-educated workforce; good for living, visiting, working and doing business. In order to achieve the vision, Northwest Region will link its tradition in wood and food processing with modern market requirements, concentrating on the production of clean energy and investing in people as a main resource for innovations and IT. By developing its infrastructure and boosting its tourism, health and recreation industry through regional partnerships, the region shall become a bridge between BiH and Europe. As a combination of development and reform approaches, the regional vision values are defined through the three pillars as follows: • Economic development (tradition in wood and food processing, production of clean energy, tourism health and recreation industries); • Social cohesion and quality of life (area good for living, visiting, working and doing business); and • Human Resources (well-employed and well-educated workforce, innovations and IT institutional infrastructure). All the three pillars are to be interconnected and strengthened through the development of infrastructure and regional partnerships. Based on the above, eco-tourism development and sustainable regional development activities will be guided along upstream, middle stream and downstream of Pliva River as Development Axis for the area with supporting road networks of National Main Road M5 and the regional road to Sipovo. International tourism corridors for the Pliva Study Area will be structured from National Main Road M16 and M5 for main international tourist markets in Part D - 4 The Study on Sustainable Development through Eco-Tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina Final Report Ex-Yugoslavian countries and European countries through Banja Luka and Bihac and main domestic target markets in Bnaja Luka and Sarajevo.

  • The Pliva Lakes - Sustainable Management and Tourism Valorization
    Acta geographica Bosniae et Herzegovinae 2017, 7, (39-53) Original scientific paper _________________________________________________________________________________ THE PLIVA LAKES - SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT AND TOURISM VALORIZATION Emir Temimović University of Sarajevo, Faculty of Science, Department of Geography, Zmaja od Bosne 33- 35, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, [email protected] Dragan Glavaš „Agency for cultural historical and natural heritage and tourism development of town Jajce“, St. Lukas 15, Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina, [email protected] The Pliva lakes that include the Great and Small Lake formed by the transformation of the Pliva are the biggest natural reservoir in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This region is a unique area in Bosnia and Herzegovina in many aspects. The area of Pliva lakes has been a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2007. The Commission for national monuments proclaimed this area as a National Monument under the name of "Cultural landscape – the Pliva lakes with the complex of mills on the Pliva near Jajce". According to the regional plan of the Central Bosnia Canton and Jajce municipality, the Pliva lakes should represent a protected area that is a clearly defined entity by natural factors, which is the backbone of the river Pliva. The protected area should cover the entire course of the river Pliva, which is located in the administrative units of municipalities Jajce, Jezero and Šipovo. The same plans suggest that this area should be a protected area of the fifth category or a protected landscape of the sixth category according to the IUCN categorization. For more than a century, the area of the Pliva valley has contributed to the intensive economic development, primarily through the construction of the first hydroelectric power plant in the Balkans for the needs of "Elektrobosna" which was built in 1890, and then through the hydroelectric power plant "Jajce I" that uses most of the water from the Great Pliva lake.
