The stakeholder of the planned project is Zraþna luka Dubrovnik ltd., ýilipi (Dubrovnik Airport). At the request of the stakeholder, an environmental impact assesment was made, pursuant to article 28., point 1, of the Decree on Environmental Impact Assessment (OG 64/08, 67/09). The environmental impact assesment is based on the following documents: Dubrovnik Airport Master Plan, final report, AirportConsultingViennaGmbH (ACV), Dubrovnik, November 2012 Instruction for drafting the Environmental Impact Study of the Dubrovnik Airport expansion, Ministry of Environmental and Nature Protection, June 2013 Urban planning scheme of the “Airport ýilipi 1“, Final Plan Draft Proposal, TRAMES d.o.o., September 2013. The goal and purpose of making this Assesment is an analisys of the current state of the environment, establishing the impact of the planned project on environmental components and proposing safety measures and an environmental monitoring programme whose application would reduce negative impact to a minimal level. The environmental impact assesment will assess the acceptance of the planned project in relation to the environment based on the factors that determine the spread, severity and duration of the impact. At the request of the stakeholder, an environmental imapct assesment was conducted by DVOKUT Ecro Ltd. Zagreb as a legal entity authorized to perform professional operations of environmental protection.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) project zone is located in Konavle Municipality, and encompasses the parts of MoþLüi and ýilipi residential areas. It is situated about 22 km away from the city of Dubrovnik, and about 7.5 km away from Cavtat, while the state road D8 is connecting it to the entire region. The DBV covers the total surface area of 1,930,000.00 m2 (i.e. 193 ha). Graphical Appendix A.-1.

A.1. CURRENT STATE OF DUBROVNIK AIRPORT Dubrovnik Airport is the main point of entry in the Dubrovaþko-neretvanska County. The airport can be reached from Dubrovnik in about 30 minutes time by a regular bus line, taxi or personal vehicle. There are currently 28 airliners operating in Dubrovnik Airport that deliver services for 46 national and international destinations. The absence of a home carrier is the only fault of the airport, but the airport is a base for Croatia Airlines. In 2013. 16.126 airplanes with 1.522.629 DVOKUT ECRO d.o.o. 3 environmental impact assessment Developement of Dubrovnik airport, Konavle municipality non-technical summary passangers flew in Dubrovnik Airport.

The current appearance of the Dubrovnik Airport is shown on graphical appendixes A.1- 3. and A.1-4. and photos A.1-1. to A.1-3. In its current state, the airport area is connected to the state road D8 at the south of the project scope. Within the scope of the airport, a traffic network has been constructed with parking areas that lead to all the existing constructions of the airport and that partilly satisfy the current needs. Some roads are in poor condition. Graphical Appendix A.1-3. The current appearance of the Dubrovnik Airport (source: UPU „Zraþna luka ýilipi 1“, TRAMES ltd.)

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OF DUBROVNIK AIRPORT Airport reconstruction and development project shall ensure the increase of competitiveness of Dubrovnik Airport in relation to other airports, higher level of service, higher employment rates, and improvements in both, inbound and outbound tourism. One of the Airport primary goals is to increase the number of passengers to approximately 3.98 million per year in the planning period until the year 2032. (Graphical Appendix i A.2-1. i A.2-2.).

Passenger traffic prognosis for DBV (basic scenario) 2010. – 2032. (source: Master plan Dubrovnik Airport, final report, Airport Consulting Vienna GmbH (ACV), Dubrovnik, November 2012.) Conducted analysis and forecasts of passenger and flight increase lead to the conclusion that the existing terminals are already reaching the threshold of their capacity for the current number of passengers. VARIANT SOLUTIONS The Master Plan for the development of Dubrovnik Airport (Airport Consulting Vienna GmbH, November 2012) was based on the projections for a significant increase in air traffic in the 2012-2032 period. Based on the 2007 Master Plan, as well as the new traffic prognoses, during the design development there were discussions regarding several possible developments of the Dubrovnik Airport, presented in the table below. Graphical Appendix A.2-3. Development possibilities taken into consideration The concept of future development north of the runway was considered as a possible long-term strategy. The possibility of Dubrovnik Airport development which would place the passenger terminal and infrastructural facilities in a linear direction, along the apron extending to the east and west within the width of the existing one was also considered. DVOKUT ECRO d.o.o. 8 environmental impact assessment Developement of Dubrovnik airport, Konavle municipality non-technical summary The "Kink" development option was chosen as the best possibility given that due to the position of the D-8 state road south of Dubrovnik Airport and terrain topography

    exploring underwater heritage in croatia a handbook exploring underwater heritage in croatia a handbook Zadar, 2009. AN ROMAN PERIOD SHIPWRECK WITH A CARGO OF AMPHORAE ROMaN PeRIOD ShIPWRecK IN The ČaVLIN ShaLLOWS There are several hundred Roman pe- riod shipwrecks in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea, the majority of which are devastated, but about a dozen of which have survived the ravages of time and unethical looters. They have been preserved intact, or with only minor damage, which offers underwater archaeologists an oppor- tunity for complete research. The very large number of Roman ship- wrecks is not unexpected, but speaks rather of the intensity of trade and importance of navigation on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea, and of the dangers our sea hides. Roman period shipwrecks can be dated either by the type of cargo they carried or by some further analysis (the age of the wood, for example), and the datings range from the 4th century BC to the 6th century. The cargos of these ships were varied: from fine pot- tery, vessels and plates, stone construction elements and brick to the most frequent cargo – amphorae. The amphora was used as packag- ing from the period of the Greece colonisation to the late Roman and the Byzantine supremacy. There are remains of shipwrecks with cargos of amphorae that can be researched on the seabed, covered by Archaeological underwater excavation with the aid of a water dredge protective iron cages, and there are those that, as per documentation, need to be raised to the surface and presented on land.

  • Uskotračna Pruga U Regiji Hercegovina/Dubrovnik Sagrađena Je Početkom 20
    Uskotračna pruga u regiji Hercegovina/Dubrovnik sagrađena je početkom 20. stoljeća i spajala je Mostar s Dubrovnikom i Konavlima u Hrvatskoj. Prvi ‘’Ćiro’’ prošao je ovom prugom 15. srpnja 1901. Ideja za revitalizaciju ove linije kao biciklističke staze stvorena je zajednički, s obje strane granice, u cilju očuvanja ove pruge kao povijesne baštine te razvijanja nove turističke ponude. Narrow gauge railway in Herzegovina/ Dubrovnik regions was built in the early 20th century, and conne- cted Mostar with Dubrovnik and Konavle in Croatia. The first ‘’Ćiro’’ passed this railway on 15 July, 1901. The idea to revitalize this line as a bicycle rout was born jointly from both side of the border in order to preserve this railway line as a historical heritage and to develop new tourism offer.

  • Traces of Oral Narration in Konavle
    Nar. urn jet. 35/1, 1998, pp. 137-155, M. Boskovic-Stulli, Traces of Oral Narration in.. Original scientific paper Received: 10.2.1998 Accepted: 31.3.1998 UDK 398:886.2.09-32 MAJA BOŠKOVIĆ-STULLI Zagreb TRACES OF ORAL NARRATION IN KONAVLE The style of this article avoids the usual scholarly fashion. The author has already written several studies ahout Bogišic's collection in a more "scientific" way: In this text, M. Roskovie-Stulli follows the paths of her own wanderings and the stories she heard all over Konavle forty, and even more than forty, years ago — she tries to conjure up at least something of the narrators of that time, of the local stories, and of that landscape seen through its legends. Keywords: Croatian oral literature, oral prose, Konavle I feel the presence of Konavle now, to use the words of Villon, as my "snows of yesteryear" — as les neiges d'antan. Born and raised in northern inland regions of Croatia, the encounter with the landscape and history of that Mediterranean rural community near the City of Duhrovnik, everything I got to know and accept in that part of Croatia, was brought home to me in the family circle of my husband, who was born in Dubrovnik, and his relatives. Most of my Konavle narrators — male and female — whose oral narratives are the subject of this article, are long dead or in very advanced years now. Many of the younger ones have probably emigrated and also grown old — and I have never heard from them again. Finally, the war at the beginning of the 1990s: Konavle devastated and destroyed.

    Dubrovnik Annals 19 (2015): pp. 99-121 99 Original paper UDC 821.163.42.09 Ferić, Đ. 821.124(497.5).09 Ferić, Đ. GJURO FERRICH’S PERIEGESIS ORAE RHACUSANAE (1803) AS A TRAVEL POLEMIC WENDY BRACEWELL ABSTRACT: Gjuro Ferrich’s Periegesis orae Rhacusanae (1803) has been read as a description of Ragusa’s territories, as a sarcastic commentary on Ragusan manners and morals, and as a poetic paraphrase of physiocratic ideas. Now a hitherto unstudied letter from the author suggests that it should also be read as a ‘counter-travelogue’, a polemical reply to a foreign account of Ragusa. This study sets Ferrich’s Periegesis in context, examining its relationship to Francesco Maria Appendini’s Notizie (1802-03); the different models Ferrich may have drawn upon in framing his text; and the insights into particular images provided by a polemical reply to Ferrich composed by Marin Zlatarich. Ferrich’s Periegesis emerges as a ‘discreet’ polemic, with different messages addressed to its domestic readers on the one hand and its foreign audience on the other. Keywords: Đuro Ferić, Marin Zlatarić, travel polemics, counter-travelogue, transnational cultural exchange. In 1803 Gjuro Ferrich [or Đuro Ferić in modern Croatian], a Ragusan secular clergyman and Latinist, published a long travel poem in Latin hexameter. In this Periegesis orae Rhacusanae, or Description of the coast of Ragusa, he recounts the places, people, customs, history and natural beauty of the territory of the Republic of Ragusa as seen or heard in the course of his excursions. Since its publication, Ferrich’s work has been used by travellers and historians Wendy Bracewell is professor of South East European History at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies of the University College London.
