The numerical model GRAD invest d.o.o., Split of stratified flow is described, and its application in the analysis of the Neretva River [email protected] salination via the first direction of intrusion is presented. The model is calibrated based on measurements conducted in 2004.

  • Prezimena U Župi Svetoga Stjepana
    Domagoj Vidović PREZIMENA U ŽUPI SVETOGA STJEPANA 1. UVOD Iako se dva naselja na području današnje opuzenske župe u povijesnim vrelima spominju razmjerno rano (Brštanik na području današnje Podgradine 1253. i Posrednica na području današnjega Opuzena 1333.), o stanov- ništvu koje ih je napučivalo znamo veoma malo i to posredno, iz dokumenata koji se uglavnom tiču susjednoga Slivna. U XIII. stoljeću uglavnom su zapisana samo osobna imena tadašnjih Neretvana, npr. Druga (Drugha), Bogdana, Premila (Premilla), kći Staneke (Stanecha), Dragoslav (Dragoslaus) itd. Koncem XIII. stoljeća uz osobno se ime pojavljujuju i pridjevci (svojevrsna praprezimena), spominju se tako Slivanjci Bogdan Čeprnjić (Bogdanus Ceperniç), Berislav Umnenović (Berrisclauus Vmennouich) i Vladimir Grupšin (Vladimirus de Grupsa), a u Du- brovniku se u XIV. stoljeću spominju stanovnici Brštanika Petar Ostojić (Petrus Hostoich) i Bratoš Lupković (Bra- tos Lupcouich) te stanovnik Slivna (de Slievni) Radin Butković (Radin Butcouich). Kao stanovnici Slivna spominju se u XV. stoljeću izvjesni Veselko, Vukosav Novaković i Ostojica Pribisaljić (D. Vidović 2012: 133–134), a nakon dolaska Osmanlija zapisi su osobnih imena tadašnjih Neretvana još rjeđi, a razvoj je imenske formule zaustavljen do početka vođenja matičnih knjiga u Zaostrogu u XVII. stoljeću. Kad je riječ o užemu području same župe Opuzen, razvidno je da su nepogodno podneblje i položaj na ratnoj vjetrometini odradili da se ondje nije razvilo znatnije naselje tijekom osmanlijske okupacije. Trgovina je robljem, solju i drvnom građom u Opuzenu i Slivno znatno smanjena nakon što su se iz Neretvanske krajine povukli Du- brovčani, a višestoljetni uskočki upadi (isprva su se uskocima u napadima pridruživali i Neretvani koji su pred Osmanlijama prebjegli na Pelješac) dodatno su rijedili stanovništvo.

  • The Case of Dubrovnik-Neretva County
    Journal of Business Paradigms Vol 4 No 2, 2019 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FACEBOOK IN DESTINATION MARKETING: THE CASE OF DUBROVNIK-NERETVA COUNTY Lorena Bašan1 Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Croatia Matea Ban Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Croatia Review Manuscript Received October 20th 2019 Manuscript Accepted December 25th 2019 ABSTRACT Since the emergence and rapid development of the Internet and its implementation in companies within the tourism and hospitality industry, Internet marketing has become a vital marketing tool. Social media, in particular, are one of the most important media in Internet communication and an integral part of a large number of business entities, including those related to tourism. Many tourist destinations that understand the importance of social media as a source of information in the phase of tourist-destination selection and recognise the opportunities social media provide are using social networks to communicate and interact with tourists. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to determine the implementation level of Facebook as the most often used networking site in destination marketing. The paper is based on empirical research conducted in Dubrovnik-Neretva County using content analysis. Results obtained by this study allow decision makers in destination marketing to implement Facebook in a more efficient way, by exploiting the underutilized advantages of social media to gain a competitive advantage in the contemporary tourist market and achieve better business results in the future. 1 Address correspondence to Lorena Bašan Associate Professor, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality Management, Department of Marketing, Opatija, Croatia, E-mail: [email protected] 46 The Implementation Of Facebook In Destination Marketing Bašan L., Ban M.
