  • The Tourism in Croatia: Politics, Projects and Environmental Sustainability
    Unofficial English version provided by the author of the Italian paper published in: BOLLETTINO DELLA SOCIETA GEOGRAFICA ITALIANA ROMA - Serie XIII, vol. VII (2014), pp. 413-433 ORNELLA ALBOLINO THE TOURISM IN CROATIA: POLITICS, PROJECTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Abstract - The paper aims to consider the development and evolution of the tourism in Croatia and its economic and social impact. Croatia can be considered an interesting case study dealing with the relationship between tourism and sustainable development. In particular a special focus on local specificities seems to be present in policy planning and project implementation. Even if seaside tourism is prevailing, initiatives towards sustainability are concentrated on environmental, rural and cultural tourism. The Country is characterized by wide variety and rich cultural heritage and tourism development is one of the most Croatian important economic activity. Now there are many institutional documents for a sustainable tourism development but those plans are not followed by appropriate implementation instruments. Actually a coordinated and integrated sustainable tourism planning at national scale is absent. At local level, counties and Tourist offices show instead great attention to sustainability, creating projects for the development of rural and insular tourism. A particular example is the County of Istria: it is not characterized by seasonal tourism and it is able to promote an integrated tourism development. Regions and types of tourism - This paper (*) is meant to analyze the development and evolution of the tourist sector in Croatia, also with reference to the latest policy planning concerning environmental sustainability. Croatia can be considered an interesting case study on the relationship between tourism and sustainable development.

Mollusca: Bivalvia. Nat. Croat., Vol. 15, No. 3., 109–169, 2006, Zagreb. A 130 bivalve species from 38 families were recorded in the Mljet National Park during research carried out from 1995 to 2002. In situ observations and collections were realised by skin and SCUBA diving at 63 sites, to a maximum depth of 58 m. At 21 stations bivalves were collected by Van Veen grab, at six stations by trammel bottom sets and at one station outside the borders of the National Park by a commercial bottom trawl. For each species, the general distribution, depth range, habitat, ecological data and significant remarks are presented. Records published previously were reviewed and a bivalve check-list for the Mljet National Park with a total of 146 species belonging to 39 families was generated. Listed species account for about 70% of bivalves noted in the Adriatic Sea. Sixty-one species were recorded for the first time in the Mljet Island area. One juvenile individual of an Indo-Pacific species Semipallium coruscans coruscans (Hinds, 1845) was recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean. Some species rarely noted for the Adriatic Sea, and also rarely recorded at the stations surveyed were Nuculana pella, Palliolum striatum, Pseudamussium sulcatum, Limatula gwyni, Thyasira granulosa, Astarte sulcata, Venus casina, Globivenus effosa, Clausinella fasciata, Lajonkairia lajonkairii, Mysia undata, Thracia villosiuscula, Cardiomya costellata, Ennucula aegeensis, Barbatia clathrata, and Galeomma turtoni.
