Description of the objectives and priorities for the sector of ENERGY SAVING AND RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES specified in the County Development Strategy CDS:

Strategic Objective 1: COMPETITIVE ECONOMY

1.10. Energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy sources (RES)

Competitiveness is the main economic goal of every national and / or regional economy or business entity. Istrian County will through this strategy, given its strengths and opportunities, opt for a multi-sectoral development with major emphasis on clean industry, tourism and indigenous agriculture.

Measures which will contribute to the realization of priorities and objectives listed in the CDS:

Measure: 1.10.1. Increase in efficiency in the use of primary energy sources

Measure: 1.10.2. Establishing support for the promotion of energy efficiency projects

Measure: 1.10.3. Use of renewable energy sources

Measure: 1.10.4. Informing and educating the population

Activities that will contribute to the realization of measures listed in the CDS:

Measure: 1.10.1. Increase in efficiency in the use of primary energy sources

Rationalizing the use of primary energy sources refers only to reduction of use fossil fuels as a primary energy source.

Since this measure is closely related to energy efficiency and increased use of renewable energy sources, it's hard to be be attributed with quantifiable indicators. However, comparison of data on usage primary energy sources from the energy balances during two time periods will demonstrate the success of these measures.

Measure: 1.10.2. Establishing support for the promotion of energy efficiency projects

Reduction in the use of any form of energy for the same product or service.

This measure has a very broad range of application, from increasing insulation of buildings (reducing energy usage for heating and cooling), the use of "smart lighting" (installing lower consumption bulbs and turning off illumination when not needed), the use of new household appliances (which spend up to 60% less energy for equal work), and applying the latest technologies in manufacturing processes.

Together with the implementation of renewable energy sources are considered pillars of sustainable energy policy.

Measure: 1.10.3. Use of renewable energy sources

Replacing conventional energy sources with renewable energy sources.

Renewable energy sources are by definition natural resources that are constantly being replenished, as the energies of the sun, wind, rain, biomass, tidal, wave and geothermal energy.

Using renewable energy sources reduces the use of conventional energy sources and as a result give two positive effects: reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and reduce the consumption of conventional energy sources, whose reserves are limited. Planning of projects for the use of renewable energy, project documentation, securing funding for projects, providing sources of renewable energy.

Measure: 1.10.4. Informing and educating the population

Raising awareness among the population about the problem of climate changes caused by human activity.

Excessive use of fossil fuels resulted in huge emissions of carbon dioxide, which produced climate change as a consequence. This measure aims to inform population on the threat of climate change caused by man, and ways to combat these threats.Those changes can be suppressed through reduction of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere through energy efficiency projects (energy saving at all levels) and use of renewable energy sources (wherever possible). 27

Greater energy savings in households, local authorities and the economy in general.

In this respect, the projekt odnosi): poor presence in these countries of enterprises or research bodies working on the planning and/or the production of the specific instruments needed to develop and use the underwater sites constitutes a revealing example. A significant number of the sites present along the Adriatic coasts are currently in a state of neglect and the majority of them are subject to constant destructions due to illegal depredations or the destructive action of nature or man (trawling, modern harbor facilities, etc.). The existence of local protection bodies contributes only partially to reduce the damages and protect the underwater heritage. In Italy as well as in the other countries, a versatile and multi-sectorial legally recognized “instrument” able to work on the knowledge, development and use of the underwater cultural heritage –through the creation of real underwater archaeological parks or through an indirect use- is missing in local policies. It has to be considered equally negative the absence of an international database on underwater archaeological sites (and therefore on the related parks) that should be shared instead among the MPAs. The challenge of this project is to create a structure that could fill these gaps, a pilot project of an underwater museum that can be enjoyable at 360 degrees and can be repeated in different areas, with the changes needed according to the specific type of each underwater site found and to the particular context of reference. Ciljevi (Specifični ciljevi • Collection of information and improvement of knowledge on the geo- projekta koji će se archaeological areas of interest; systematic study of archaeological sites already postići): identified or simply located. • Planning and carrying out one common methodological protocol for the valorization of the maritime cultural heritage inserted in the various MPA and CPA landscapes. • Promotion of cultural activities and events around the sites in order to attract visitors, and highlighting, to visitors and local authorities, the importance and cultural role of the PMA. • Creation of a network of MPA/CPA with archaeological sites, in order to establish a well identified Adriatic connected coastal route for visitors with a particular interest in the historical/archaeological field. Rezultati projekta: Increasing the value of MPA (marine protected areas) and CPA (costal protected areas) cultural assets (submerged and coastal archaeological sites) along the Adriatic coast. The identification of a site containing ancient remains of a port structure, a minor landing places related to maritime villas, wrecks and cargos, has not only an historical-archaeological value in itself, but also provides an important added value to those areas. The interested MPAs will therefore be in a position to combine the quality of their preserved natural environment with their archaeological assets, thus making their sites more attractive for sustainable tourism and development.

EU Cities Adapt - Adaptation Strategies for European Cities - Zadar is one of 21 cities across Europe that has been selected to participate in the project of the European Commission ''EU Cities Adapt'' carried out by DG CLIMA (Directorate-General for Climate Action) in coordination with Ricardo-AEA (leading world energy and climate change consultancy, UK) and ICLEI European Secretariat (Local Governments for Sustainability) in partnership with Arcadis (international company providing consultancy, design, engineering and management services in the fields of infrastructure, water, environment and buildings, Netherlands), University of Manchester (UK), Adelphi research (leading think tank for policy analysis and strategy consulting, Germany) and Alexander Ballard Ltd (strategic advising on climate changes and other aspects of the environmental sustainability challenge, UK). This 1 year and a half initiative aims to provide capacity building and assistance to European cities in the development and implementation of a strategy for adaptation to climate change, connect cities with similar problems related to climate change and provide support (training, exchange of experience, etc.) for development of a adaptation strategy to such changes, as the ultimate goal. In the long-term perspective, the objective is a regular climatic adaptation in European cities by raising awareness about the importance of preparing for climate change, to facilitate exchange of knowledge and good practices and the development of tools and guidance for the cities adaptation. The project will end with a closing conference in June 2013 where all cities will present and promote itselves and present the results of their work. Zadar is part of the Mediterranean coastal cities sub group 253

along with Barcelona, Rotterdam, Almada, Burgas, Ancona and Gibraltar. The city of Zadar will benefit from an extensive capacity building package were it will partake in an inclusive training programme facilitated by expert coaches and peer cities (cities that are more advanced in the adaptation process). Training program under the Project will include webinars, workshops, visits to vulnerable areas in the cities,''coach'' visits and exchange of experiences with the cities that are more advances in the adaptation process, then access to a webportal with tools, guiding materials and a reference library as well as an interactive members exchange forum and will last until June 2013 respectively until the end of the Project. 19.

Annex 1 Project proposal Introducing IMTA and long term sustainability assesment in the Croatian Adriatic Project promoter (name of University of Zadar, Center for Interdisciplinary Marine and Maritime Research the Institution): (CIMMAR), M.Pavlinovića bb, 23000 Zadar, HR Field of intervention and Main questions: Can aquaculture be carried out in a sustainable manner in the Background (main Adriatic? Is integrated,multi-species, multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) superior to problems or challenges to monoculture aquaculture(ecologically and/or economically) in the Adriatic? be addressed): Main problem: At the center of the sustainability question within Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) internationally is the sustainability status of aquaculture which in its traditional form is known to cause various environmental problems and that may be unsustainable in the long term. Yet, with the projected losses of wild marine resources due to overexploitation and the fundamental shifts in the tropicalization of the ecosystem, aquaculture is predicted to grow in stature and economic share. Thus the problem is to increase aquaculture production and the immediate economic benefits and at the same time prevent environmental and economic long term degradation, and conflicts with alternative stakeholders. Main challenge: Design interdisciplinary research projects that are capable to test hypotheses about differences between traditional and IMTA aquaculture in terms of (i) their ability to ameliorate well known negative impacts and (ii) their long term sustainability (ecological and economic). The research should also result in newly developed methods of integrated, multi-species, multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) suited to the specifics of the Adriatic ecosystem. The research should involve the development of pilot IMTA farms in the Adriatic combined with the application and de-novo development or adaptation of innovative impact assessment tools, including technologies, methods, and models suitable to predict and monitor economic, socio-economic, and ecological (local and global) sustainability. Objectives (specific The goal is to develop a scientific integrated aquaculture project in a fish/shellfish objectives to be achieved): polyculture production area in Zadar County (zone Z1). Mussel and oyster lines will be constructed at different distances from the fish farms and seed collected from the fish farm facilities transferred to these growing sites. Mussel growth will be monitored via individual tagging and stereo videography by various spatial and temporal scales. Shellfish and fish condition indices and seed production potential will be also estimated. Different systems of production will be compared and the overall economic feasibility will be assessed. Additional goal is to evaluate the impact of integrated vs. non-integrated aquaculture systems on natural habitats and communities with newly developed/adapted tools, methods and models. Mainexpectedresults: Data analysis quantifying production differences between integrated and non- integrated aquaculture. Identification of new indigenous species for integrated aquaculture. Analysis of the environmental impact differences between integrated and non-integrated aquaculture and report on economic feasibility. Design and planning of the combined fish and shellfish farm and zones for its development. New tools, methiods and models for assesment of sustainability.

Annex 1 Project proposal European anchovy poplulations – structure and genetic connectivity Project promoter (name of University of Zadar, Center for Interdisciplinary Marine and Maritime Research the Institution): (CIMMAR) Field of intervention and Sustainable fisheries management – Croatia and Italy Background (main Mediterranean MPA network design, genetic connectivity problems or challenges to Croatia Natura 2000 be addressed): Development of the regional potential of Zadar County for interdisciplinary marine and maritime research Objectives (specific The European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) is one of the most important objectives to be achieved): marine food resources in the Adriatic, constituting with sardine over 40% of commercial catches. However, annual harvest varies by a factor of 50, and there is no coordinated management by Italy and Croatia. This project will use molecular genetic methods to determine whether one or two species of anchovy exist in the Adriatic, and assess the genetic population structure of Adriatic anchovies for the first time. Mainexpectedresults: We will determine the extent of gene flow among anchovies in different regions of the Adriatic, and determine whether there is one or two genetically separate harvestable stocks of anchovies in the Adriatic. Results will be used 1) to develop cooperative sustainable genetic management programs of anchovy stocks in the Adriatic Sea; 2) to design a genetically-connected system of MPAs in Croatia satisfying EU requirements; 3) to develop a sustainable employment environment in the Croatian fisheries sector; 4) to develop UNIZD/CIMMAR as a center for technology transfer for sustainable fisheries management in the Zadar region Potential Partners: CNR, Ist Sci Marine Sez Pesca Marittima, Largo Fiera Pesca, I-60125 Ancona, Italy Univ Politecn Marche, Dipartimento Sci Mare, I-60131 Ancona, Italy IRD, UR Biocomplexite Ecosyst Recifaux 227, Montpellier, France Institute of Marine Biology, Kotor, Montenegro Institute of Fisheries, Split, Croatia

This species is the main predator of sea urchins, which in the absence of predators can increase in population density and cause barrens and low diversity and abundance of native fish and invertebrates. The seabream is also an economically important species in aquaculture and in traditional artisanal fisheries in the Adriatic. The specific goals of this project are 1) to determine the effectiveness of MPAs in increasing the population and average size of white seabream; 2) to quantify the export of white seabream larvae from MPAs; 3) to quantify the level of adult spillover from MPAs into adjacent areas, and 3) to use the information on larval and adult dispersal to design a network of MPAs in Croatia to maximize genetic connectivity. Mainexpectedresults: Major results of this project will be 1) determination of the population structure of white seabream in the Croatian Adriatic using microsatellite variation; 2) determination of the effectiveness of Croatian MPAs in increasing the population and size of white seabream; and 3) Lagrangian modeling results showing the potential larval connectivity for seabream among regions of the Croatian Adriatic; 4) recommendations for the design of an MPA network in Croatia to satisfy EU requirements; 5) increasing the potential for technology transfer from UNIZD/CIMMAR to the Zadar region to improve conditions for the fisheries economy, and sustainable use of coastal resources, and sustainable cultural values (artisanal fishing).

Annex 1 Project proposal Environmental and social assessment of MREI in the Adriatic and the development of sustainability assessment tools. Project promoter (name of University of Zadar, Center for Interdisciplinary Marine and Maritime Research the Institution): (CIMMAR) Field of intervention and Main questions: Are marine renewable energy installations (MREI), likely to be Background (main socially accepted, legally supported, and ecologically sustainable in the Croatian problems or challenges to Adriatic? What are the potential conflicts between stakeholders? Can conflict be be addressed): prevented by clear evidence for MREIs environmental benefits? Can MREI facilitate ecosystem restauration in the Croatian Adriatic? Main problem: Globally, there must be a paradigm shift in energy production from fossil fuel to alternative energy sources to mitigate human induced climate change. So on a global scale the advantages of MREI are not in doubt. Locally, impacts on society and the marine environment must be carefully considered. This requires interdisciplinary regional research capable to assess the potential negative and positive impacts of MREI on the Adriatic ecossystem and on each associated countrie’s socio-economy. As of now there is no strategic impact assessments for MREI has been conducted, so there is a great opportunity to allow future plans to move smoothly and expedient and with a design that allows for long term sustainability. . Main challenge: Design interdisciplinary research approach that is capable to (i) assess the socio-economic and legal acceptance of MREI in Croatia and to (ii) predict the local and regional environmental impact of MREI. Focus should be to assess potential positive environmental impact of MREI (i) by studying ongoing processes at existing installations, like offshore oil and gas and aquaculture facilities (ii) by exploring the potential of MREI for restoration within damaged ecosystems (e.g. heavily trawled and thus degraded sediments), and (iii) by exploring the potential to combine MREI with existing similar installations. The research should also result in the application and de-novo development or adaptation of innovative impact assessment tools, including technologies, methods, and models suitable to predict local and global sustainability. Such tools should be able to consider the changing nature of supporting ecosystem services and the need for climate adaptation. Objectives (specific 1. Asses social acceptance of MREI in Croatia combined with a objectives to be achieved): dessimintation of experiences and research results from European regions that have well developed MREI use, like Italy, the UK and Denmark. Assess the impact this dissemintaion has on the social acceptance. 2. Assess the legal framework for MREI in Croatia, identify gaps that would prevent MREI in Croatia and explore ways to close them. 3. Identify existing offshore oil/gas platforms suitable to set up pilot monitoring schemes and experiments testing hypotheses about the effect of such pre-existing secondary artificial reefs on the local and regional fauna. 4. Identify sedimentary seabottoms that are considered damaged and unproductive due to prolonged and intensive trawling. In these locations initiate experimental installations of artificial reefs that mimick MREI and declare their surrounding as no-fishing zones, followed by monitoring schemes that quantify the changes in local and regional fauna. 5. Identify aquaculture facilities suitable to be altered into pilot aquaculture/MREI combinations and monitor the effects on local wild and farmed fauna. 6. Develop fit-for-purpose tools for identifying, assessing and managing the potential environmental and social impacts of small-scale renewable projects. Mainexpectedresults: Project results assure preparedness to initiate MREI installations in the Croatian Adriatic where appropriate and sustainable and are a crucial contribution to the development of renewable energy plans, programmes and policies in Croatia

268

The project makes methodolgy and logistics available that is needed to properly asses the short and long term, and local and regional, effect of MREI on ecosystems, society, and economy. The project generates knowledge to guide future installation projects of MREI in the Croatian Adriatic which are sustainable by either causing the least necessary negative environmental change or are (preferably) facilitators of ecosystem restoration with an overall positive effect on the environment.

Project proposal Archaeological Park “Asseria Nova” Project promoter (name of the The City of Benkovac Institution): Field of intervention and Croatia is a typical example of a mature tourism destination with the Background (main problems or dominance of a single product (sun and sea) and a high seasonality, which challenges to be addressed): is typical for the countries with warm sea (especially Mediterranean and Adriatic). In the continental part of the Croatia tourism as a sector is still underdeveloped. Various studies have shown that tourism in continental part of Croatia has great potential, but due to lack of infrastructure (accommodation, restaurants, information points) and lack of tourism 298

marketing that potential has not been exploited. Although Benkovac is situated just about 30 km east of Zadar and 20 km northeast of Biograd, due to its location in the hinterland of northern Dalmatia, it shares the same problems in tourism development as the rest of continental Croatia. Benefits of Benkovac area is its favourable geographic position, the concentration of important ancient sites (Asseria, Danilo, Burnum, Bribirska Glavica / VarvariaNedinum, Corinium, Sidrona, Alveria ...), a good network of state and local roads and the vicinity of highway. Benkovac area is already known for its agricultural production as well as its stone production which may become part of the additional tourist offer to visitors of Asseria if local farmers and entrepreneurs participate in provision of tourism services. The aim of establishing ASSERIA is to protect and to encourage further research on the archaeological site as well as to preserve cultural traditions and to promote cultural tourism in this area. Project Archaeological Park “Asseria Nova” will influence the growth of tourism demand and tourist expenditures in the region and thus initiate private sector investment that will get an opportunity to sell their products and services to tourists who visit ASSERIA Nova. The Park Asseria Nova will set an example which will show that there are opportunities for additional employment and starting a business that will affect the economic growth of the region. Objectives (specific objectives to Developed Archaeological - tourist park Asseria Nova as a new tourist be achieved): attraction that combines existing tourist offer of Benkovac area and creates the preconditions for the development of new public and private tourism initiatives Mainexpectedresults: R1 Archaeological Park “Asseria Nova” built R2 The preconditions for the development of new tourism products associated with Archaeological Park “Asseria Nova” created Potential Partners: Zadar County, Zadar County Development Agency, the University of Zadar, Tourist Board Benkovac, Heritage Museum Benkovac, hotels in Zadar and Sibenik-Knin County

Project proposal Rest areas for campers in Zadar County Project promoter (name Zadar County of the Institution): Department of Marine and Tourism Field of intervention and In accordance with the development priorities set by the Strategy for development Background (main of tourism by 2020, there is an is emphasized need for improvement of problems or challenges accommodation offer in tourism and investment in the development of new to be addressed): camping offer, mostly on the development of small thematic camping rest areas, such as camping rest areas on country estates, eco-campsites, camping rest areas on the continent... and camping rest areas along main roads in urban areas in order to reduce the cost of infrastructure equipment and to long term preserve total available developmental area. Thus, future new construction projects should be directed to the specific types of services - camping rest areas. Specifically, in Europe today there is 60 million campers (motorhome owners / campers) who realise 350 million overnight stays and every year buy 90 000 new of such vehicles. Their average utilization is around 200 days (usually divided into 2 times a year), and the whole mobile home-industry annually generates around 15 billion euro. These modern nomads for tourist cruises do not require much, just resting places for a brief stop and essential services, such as water and sanitary facilities. There are more than 35.000 such camping rest areas throughout the Europe while in Croatia there are only two registered. If we build this "harbours for motor homes" in the near future (with adequate media coverage) we can count on receiving about fifty thousand new customers with campers, many of whom have never visited Croatia, nor Zadar County. Furthermore, this will resolve problem with campers who settle for overnight on city parking lots and other places where camping isn’t allowed and often being relocated under police escort or communal officials leaving negative image as a tourist destination. Objectives (specific Construction of camping rest areas for overnight stay or short breaks (up to 3 objectives to be days) with minimum of five and maximum of 15 units - camping plots equipped achieved): with all the necessary infrastructure (electricity, water, sewer for gray water, internet network, toilets ...) and with corresponding environmental horticulture, tourist signalisation and carefully designed promotion campaign (advertising in camping guides, printing brochures / flyers, performing at fairs and business workshops, lectures and presentations, websites, facebook ...) Mainexpectedresults: • Creation and promotion of new tourism product; • Promotion of Zadar County as a tourist destination with a high level of "feeling for the local place, the atmosphere, the comfort life style and environmental responsibility; • Attracting of the new segment in the tourism market • Realization of a new tourism revenue Potential Partners: Zadar County Tourist Board • Cities and municipalities and their respective Tourist boards • Zadar County Development Agency ZADRA • Croatian Camping Union • Croatian Camping Association • Association of Rural motorhome-rest areas URKO • OPG and other providers of tourism or hospitality services in rural areas and islands of Zadar County

PROJECT “ITHREU - ITALY AND CROATIA: A PARTNERSHIP FOR EUROPE”

REPORT ON SURVEY CONDUCTED

ZADAR COUNTY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY ZADRA D.O.O.

INTRODUCTION

This survey was conducted for the purpose of the project “ITHREU – Italy and Croatia: a partnership for Europe”. The main objective of the survey was to gather relevant information on the specific sector needs as well as specific needs of the sector supporting institutions and of the relevant stakeholders.

METHODOLOGY

Process of gathering necessary information was divided into two stages:

1) Stage 1 included gathering information on relevant strategic documents at the county level, list of stakeholders with their contact information and list of objectives, priorities and activities from main strategic document in the county for each of the fields of cooperation outlined in the Project. A template (Annex 1) was constructed and along with clarification sent via e-mail to all Regional Development Agencies in Republic of Croatia covering both Adriatic and Continental Croatia.

2) Stage 2 included gathering project proposals from stakeholders in six Adriatic counties that will, according to the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds, be eligible in the Cooperation Programme Croatia – Italy in the next financial period 2014-2020 and the 7th county – Karlovac County – which will be in the adjustment area. A template for gathering project proposals (Annex 2) was sent via e- mail to e-mail addresses of stakeholders delivered by Regional Development Agencies in the Stage 1. The e- mail was not sent to the stakeholders in Split-Dalmatia County as their Regional Development Agency stated that it does not have enough time and human resources to take part in the Project’s activities and accordingly, did not provide the list of relevant stakeholders as well as their contacts to perform this activity.

RESULTS

1) During the Stage 1, 16 Regional Development Agencies returned an e-mail with enclosed and filled Template 1. 4 Regional Development Agencies refused to fill in the forms. Explanation provided by Agencies which refused to be the part of the project’s activities is a large number of assignments they already have to deal with. Objectives, priorities and activities for each sector were taken from their main strategic documents (County Development Strategies) available on the Internet. List of relevant stakeholders remained unfilled as it is difficult to reach relevant contact information.

310

2) During the Stage two, e-mails containing Template 2 and clarification were sent to 244 e-mail addresses. A total of 216 stakeholders were contacted in the area of six Adriatic counties and 1 county in adjustment area. There were total 37 responses from 37 stakeholders. 9 stakeholders sent filled in Table 1 (information on organization), 3 stakeholders responded that they have no interest in participating in EU projects, 25 stakeholders returned e-mail with project proposals enclosed. There were total of 71 project proposals received along with the list of project ideas containing title and value for each project idea sent from Regional Development Agency PORIN. From total 71 project proposal, 62 (87%) proposals were received from stakeholders situated in Zadar County, 5 (7%) from Istria County and 4 proposals (6%) from Karlovac County. The majority of project proposals were from sectors Natural and cultural resources (33.8%) and Tourism (28.2%). Other sectors were as follows: Research and innovation (14.1%), Energy saving and renewable energy (11.3%), Social and health (7.0%) and Sustainable mobility systems (7.0%). The largest number of stakeholders (taking into account only those who sent their project proposals) is in sector of Natural and cultural resources (44.1%) and in sector Tourism (20%). In other sectors there are fewer stakeholders participating in this survey: Social and health (11.8%), Research and innovation (8.8%), Energy saving and renewable energy (8.8%) and Sustainable mobility systems (5.9%).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON RESULTS

Relativly low response rate of 15% is consequence of following two factors:

1) On the July 1st, 2013 the Republic of Croatia will become the 28th member of the European Union. During the accession period there were multiple similar actions resulting in the stakeholders´ rejection to participate in the activity of providing project proposals. The main problem with similar actions is that the stakeholders after providing proposals did not receive any feedback from the authorities that requested submission of proposals.

2) Taking into account the geographical coverage of responses, majority of the responses were from Zadar County in which Zadar County Development Agency is regional coordinator. Thus indicating how important the role of regional coordinator is in communication with stakeholders in each county.
