Study of Freshwater Ecosystem Services in Croatia Study of Freshwater Ecosystem Services in Croatia April, 2014 Carried out by: Dr. Sc. David Pithart MSc Ivana Petrov Rančić Petra Kutleša Aljoša Duplić IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK The project National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Croatia is being implemented over a period of two years (from 1 July 2012 to 31 December 2014). The Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection, Nature Protection Directorate (MENP) is the government institution responsible for the implementation of the project and will act as the Executing Agency. The main implementing partner of the Ministry is the State Institute for Nature Protection (SINP), which is the central institution carrying out expert tasks of nature protection in Croatia. UNDP is involved as the GEF Agency for the project, and it is accountable to the GEF for the use of funds. The project is nationally implemented (NIM). The project National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Croatia builds on the current status and achievements of Croatia with respect to its obligations vis-à-vis the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), in particular the country’s biodiversity planning and Convention reporting processes, and its commitment to implement, at the national level, the CBD’s Strategic Plan for the period 2011-2020. The concept of ecosystem services that is directly connected to the Aichi Targets 14 and 15 of CBD, as well as the EU 2020 Biodiversity Strategy, are still quite new for Croatia. Since 2013, three projects in Croatia were dealing with the economic valuation of biodiversity, where ecosystem services were used as a tool for sustainable management of nature protected areas (in Nature Park Vransko jezero and Nature Park Velebit), or for sustainable rural development. However, the concepts of “non-market forest functions” have been used in the forestry sector from the 1990s, as concepts in which the ecological and social benefits of the forest ecosystem were recognized and used in order to ensure sustainable forestry management. This topic has also been indirectly integrated in NBSAP 2008, within the chapters dedicated to the protection of biodiversity and sustainable use of natural resources (strategic objectives and action plans for cooperation with the sectors of agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing, water management and tourism). The Study for Freshwater Ecosystem Services (SFES), as a component of the project National Biodiversity Planning to Support the Implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in Croatia, constitutes the first institutional initiative related to the assessment of biodiversity values and economic valuation of ecosystem services. It should provide arguments for the protection of freshwater ecosystems, based not only on their biodiversity, but also on other benefits that such ecosystems provide for human society or for the stability of the global ecosystem. These benefits should also be evaluated from the perspective of the economy. 2 Contents 1.

Croatian Waters Main Flood Protection Centre Head of Main Centre ∗ Climate change has intensified in recent years worldwide, including Croatia ∗ Extremely dry and wet periods have been alternating frequently in the last approximately 15 years ∗ Damage from extreme hydrological events is increasing ∗ “Average” or “normal” years are becoming increasingly rarer ∗ The frequency of high water waves and extreme water levels including floods is increasing ∗ There are almost no longer any rules concerning the occurrence of high water waves ∗ Forecasting climate models indicate increasingly frequent extreme climate events, both globally and locally ∗ Only in the last 15 years or so, the major part of the Croatian territory has experienced frequent extreme hydrological events which caused droughts in the years 2000, 2003, 2011 and 2012, but also floods in the years 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 ∗ Heavy damage is recorded, primarily in agriculture, but settlements, infrastructure and industrial facilities are also at risk ∗ Still, unlike in many other countries, major fatalities and disastrous damage in the urban areas have been avoided in Croatia ∗ Floods are natural phenomena which cannot be completely prevented. However, flood risks can be reduced to an acceptable level through constant development of flood

  • Mogućnosti Razvoja Turizma U Đurđevačkoj Podravini
    Zdravko ŠIMUNIĆ MOGUĆNOSTI RAZVOJA TURIZMA U ĐURĐEVAČKOJ PODRAVINI urđevačka Podravina nalazi se u sjeverozapadnoj Hrvatskoj. Dio je središnje Hrvatske, a poznata je i kao dio bilogorske Podravine, koju čine tri bivše općine: Koprivnica, Đur­ Đ đevac i Virovitica. Prema novom teritorijalnom ustrojstvu Republike Hrvatske bilogorska Podravina znatnim dijelom je ušla u sastav Županije Koprivničko - križevačke. Dosadašnja općina Đurđevac podijeljena je na šest noviH općina koje nose naziv mjesta u kojima imaju sjedište. To su općine: Đurđevac, Ferdinandovac, Kloštar Podravski, Molve, Pitomača i Virje. Općina Pitomača ušla je u sastav Županije Virovitičko - podravske. Ovaj rad obuhvaća čitavo područje bivše općine Đurđevac, jer u turističkom i geografskom pogledu čini jednu cjelinu s gotovo jednakim interesima i sadržajima turističkih vidova i oblika. Osim toga, većina novonastalih općina još ne obavlja sve funkcije iz svoje nadležnosti, a nema ni statistički sređenu dokumentaciju koja bi cjelovito mogla poslužiti za precizniji opis mogućeg razvoja turizma na njihovom području. Kako administrativno - političke granice pojedinih općina i županija nisu pre­ preke razvoju turizma, to ovdje iznijete mogućnosti za razvoj turizma svaka općina ili županija može primijeniti za svoje područje zasebno, zavisno o resursima, ili u međusobnoj suradnji ukoliko za to imaju interes. Đurđevac je mjesto više gradskog tipa, mada u njemu, i ne samo na periferiji, egzistiraju i bogatija poljoprivredna domaćinstva. Smješten je sjeverno od Bilogore, a južno od Drave kojoj je bliži. Asfaltnom je cestom - Podravskom magistralom - udaljen 26 kilometara od Koprivnice, 38 kilometara od Virovitice, a 27 kilometara od Bjelovara (cesta prema Zagrebu), južnim dijelom prolazi željeznička pruga relacije Osijek - Koprivnica - Zagreb (odnosno Koprivnica - Varaždin). Prema popisu stanovništva iz 1991.

Together with the historical park and the remaining supporting structures, Virovitica the castle makes a valuable example of feudal countryside Suhopolje architecture of the late 18th and the early 19th century. The main idea behind the project is the renovation of the old castle and the corresponding facilities into a four-star hotel with accompanying wellness, restaurants and sports Zagreb facilities (swimming pools) covering the total area of 74,430 m2.

This region is rich with big game and is known for a large number of wild boars and deer as well as attractive quail hunting in the summer and hare, pheasant, partridge and wild duck hunting in the winter season. PotentIal transactIon structure Janković Castle, 100% owned by Virovitica-Podravina County, will be offered to a strategic partner based on right to built model which will be granted for 99 years and will cost 1 HRK per year (1 HRK = 0.13 EUR) under the condition that the real estate will be brought to purpose within five years from the selection of the best bidder.
