  • Hrvatski Jadranski Otoci, Otočići I Hridi
    Hrvatski jadranski otoci, otočići i hridi Sika od Mondefusta, Palagruţa Mjerenja obale istoĉnog Jadrana imaju povijest; svi autori navode prvi cjelovitiji popis otoka kontraadmirala austougarske mornarice Sobieczkog (Pula, 1911.). Glavni suvremeni izvor dugo je bio odliĉni i dosad još uvijek najsustavniji pregled za cijelu jugoslavensku obalu iz godine 1955. [1955].1 Na osnovi istraţivanja skupine autora, koji su ponovo izmjerili opsege i površine hrvatskih otoka i otoĉića većih od 0,01 km2 [2004],2 u Ministarstvu mora, prometa i infrastrukture je zatim 2007. godine objavljena opseţna nova graĊa, koju sad moramo smatrati referentnom [2007].3 No, i taj pregled je manjkav, ponajprije stoga jer je namijenjen specifiĉnom administrativnom korištenju, a ne »statistici«. Drugi problem svih novijih popisa, barem onih objavljenih, jest taj da ne navode sve najmanje otoĉiće i hridi, iako ulaze u konaĉne brojke.4 Brojka 1244, koja je sada najĉešće u optjecaju, uopće nije dokumentirana.5 Osnovni izvor za naš popis je, dakle, [2007], i u graniĉnim primjerima [2004]. U napomenama ispod tablica navedena su odstupanja od tog izvora. U sljedećem koraku pregled je dopunjen podacima iz [1955], opet s obrazloţenjima ispod crte.

    HRVATSKI GEOGRAFSKI GLASNIK 71/1, 33 – 66 (2009.) UDK 911.3:728.71](497.57/.58) Original Scientifi c Paper Izvorni znanstveni članak Recent Characteristics of the Second Home Phenomenon in the Croatian Littoral Vuk Tvrtko Opačić The study analyses the characteristics of developmental dynamics and spatial distribution of the second home phenomenon in the Croatian littoral, the leading receiving second home area in the country, after the Second World War, with particular emphasis on the recent period (after the Homeland War and Croatian liberation). The period of the conversion and adaptation of the existing and abandoned housing stock into recreational second homes (mostly in 1960s and 1970s) and the period of the construction of the purpose-built dwellings for vacation and recreation, i.e. family weekend-houses (in 1970s and 1980s), was followed by the period of a more intensive construction of multi-apartment recreational buildings (from mid 1990s until the present time). The second home phenomenon fi rst spread in the area of the Northern Croatian Littoral. Then, between 1980 and 1990, it made signifi cant inroads also into Dalmatia. After the Homeland War and in the last ten years, it again became more prominent in the Kvarner and Istria. The geographical distribution of dwellings for vacation and recreation in 2001, covering the period between the two censuses of 1991 and 2001, reveals the persistence of earlier trends towards greater concentration of second homes in the leading tourist regions along the Croatian littoral, but also the increased dispersion into the regions which do not have as high value for tourism but are suitable for accommodating second home dwellings.

U radu se postavlja koncept dostupnosti otočnog prostora Hrvatske te se kvantitativno i kvalitativno analiziraju glavne odrednice: prometna povezanost, trajanje putovanja, vremenska dostupnost, tip prometne linije te prilagođenost rasporeda plovidbe otočnim potrebama, za čiji je izračun korišten postojeći ras- pored plovidbe za 2018. godine.

Ključne riječi: dostupnost, hrvatski otoci, inzularnost, prometna povezanost, udaljenost Traffic connectivity, and thus the accessibility of islands as specific spatial units surrounded on all sides by the sea, is an indispensable precondition to their physical and functional integration with the mainland. The paper presents the accessibility concept of the Croatian insular area and it also quantitatively and qualitatively analyses the main determinants: traffic connectivity, travel time, time dependent accessibility, type of traffic lines and the adaptation of sailing schedules to the islands population needs, for whose calculation the 2018 sailing schedule was used.

The regatta makes part of the Lateen Sail Days, a series of events held in the course of September, concluded with the regatta. Both Lateen Sail Days and the regatta are organised by the Latinsko idro (Lateen Sail) Association from Murter, aimed at preserving and promoting traditional boats and forms of navigation. Numerous similar events, marking the navigation tradition and history of naval architecture, with the goal of preserving identity and teaching younger generations, are taking place in the course of the year in other parts of Croatia as well: e.g. Mošćenička Draga, the Islands of Krk, Rab, Pašman, Zlarin, Prvić, Krapanj, Hvar, Murter, etc. Apart from the regatta, Murter hosts many lectures, concerts, literary evenings, and workshops as well. It should be emphasised that the regatta does not promote the spirit of competitiveness, rather the originality and innovation Figure 1. concerning the ship designing solutions.

The national energy programs for use of the solar (SUNEN) and wind energy (ENWIND) in Croatia assessed the solar and wind energy potential respectively. Fossil fuel and electricity consumption in the region, which is mostly used in households for the preparing of hot water and space heating, could be economically substituted by solar and wind energy. The situation is most promising for Adriatic islands, where solar thermal collectors, PV modules and wind generators could substitute conventional energy sources in satisfying the present thermal and electric demand. Dalmatian islands, characterized by small density of energy consumption, are proposed as unique candidates in Europe for the nomination as renewable zones, which could demonstrate the full potential of the renewable energy option.

    Razvitak hrvatskih otoka NA KRAJU SERIJE O OTOCIMA Na samom smo kraju velike serije u AT THE END OF THE SERIAL ON ISLANDS kojoj smo obradili sve naseljene i We have reached the end of the series of articles on populated islands in Croatia, poneki nenaseljeni hrvatski otok. which started in the issue No. 7 in 1997. We tried to present their level of Serija je napisa započela u broju 7. development as influenced by many factors such as, first of all, transport links and iz 1997., a završava evo u ovom 1. vicinity of mainland, so that all islands that are linked to the mainland by bridge broju iz 2001. godine. Trajala je pu- rank among the developed ones. Current approach to islands is burdened by ne tri i pol godine, praktički je bila confusing data and standpoints. We do not know which island is the biggest, which tiskana u svakom broju našeg časo- one is the most densely populated, and even how many of the islands there actually are. The efforts furnished so far have shown many good intentions and even some pisa, osim u pet posebnih koji su bili modest results. However, much more attention should be consecrated to the most u cijelosti posvećeni nekim događa- disadvantaged islands. General impression is that an insufficient use is made of jima, pojavama ili projektima. To je measures that are both inexpensive and quite helpful to local population. The bez ovog broja 37 priloga s prosječ- approved law on islands missed the opportunity to solve the biggest problem of the no više od 7 punih stranica, što toč- islands - a great number of empty and abandoned houses and uncultivated fields.

Ona počinje 1921., a po službenim statističkim pokazateljima završava u posljednjem desetljeću toga stoljeća. Uzrokovana je dugogodišnjim iseljavanjem s otokâ potaknutim gospodarskim (agrarna prenapučenost, industrijalizacija kopna, deagrarizacija, krize pojedinih poljoprivrednih djelatnosti, monokultura na pojedi- nim otocima itd.) i političkim uzrocima (političko iseljeništvo, talijanski optanti). Za formiranje ukupne depopulacije sve do šezdesetih godina presudna je emigracijska depopulacija, dok se nakon tog razdoblja njoj pridružuje i prirodna depopulacija, koja mnoge otočne zajednice dovodi do ekstremnoga depopulacijskog stanja – izu- miranja. No od popisa stanovništva 1991. opće kretanje stanovništva hrvatskog otočja ima pozitivan predznak. Zaključak da je na otocima došlo do populacijske revitalizacije brzo je demantiran nizom činjenica. Budući da je od 1993. primijenjen zakon popularno nazvan »zakon o vikendicama«, brojni su se vlasnici kuća za od- mor opredijelili za to mjesto kao lokaciju pretežnog mjesta stanovanja premda u njemu ne borave tijekom većeg dijela godine, stvarajući tako značajni kontingent »fiktivnog stanovništva«. Druga teza koja demantira da naši otoci proživljavaju de- mografski polet i revitalizaciju počiva na činjenici da su daleko najviše stope rasta broja stanovnika zabilježene na premoštenim otocima.
