  • Exploring Underwater Heritage in Croatia a Handbook Exploring Underwater Heritage in Croatia a Handbook
    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.

  • 93 Mirela Slukan Altić ŠIBENIK I NJEGOV TERITORIJ NA OSMANSKOJ PLOVIDBENOJ KARTI IZ 1521. GODINE O Pîrî Reisu I Njegovom
    Mirela Slukan Altić UDK: 912.43 ( 262.3-11) „15“ 94 (497.5 Šibenik) „15“ Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 24. 12. 2010. ŠIBENIK I NJEGOV TERITORIJ NA OSMANSKOJ PLOVIDBENOJ KARTI IZ 1521. GODINE Sažetak: Autorica analizira porast osmanskog interesa za kartiranje istočne obale Jadrana te kontekst nastanka plovidbenog atlasa “Kitab-i Bahriye” (Knjiga o plovidbi) koji je po prvi put sadržavao i veći broj detaljnih prikaza naše obale, uključujući i onaj šibenskog akvatorija. Sastavljen 1521. atlas je djelo znamenitog osmanskog kartografa Pîrî Reisa, admirala koji je osobno sudjelovao u nizu pomorskih bitaka duž Mediterana. Njegove karte istočne obale Jadrana nastale na temelju terenskih opažanja pomoraca, daleko premašuju dosege tadašnje mletačke kartografi je koja se u to vrijeme još uvijek oslanjala na Ptolemejeve karte te venecijanske portulane koje su Jadran prikazivale u razmjerno sitnom mjerilu. To potvrđuje i Pîrî Reisova karta šibenskog akvatorija, koja svojom detaljnošću daleko nadmašuje tadašnje mletačke karte, a koju ovdje predstavljamo. Uz svaku kartu Pîrî Reis priložio je i detaljni opis akvatorija (peljar) čiji integralni prijevod na hrvatski također ovdje donosimo prvi put. Ključne riječi: Šibenik, plovidba, Osmansko Carstvo, Pîrî Reis, kartografski izvori O Pîrî Reisu i njegovom atlasu “Kitab-i Bahriye” Prvi detaljniji kartografski prikaz šibenskog akvatorija, nakon njegova pripajanja Mletačkoj Republici nisu izradili Mlečani, već Osmanlije. Iako se ta činjenica na prvi pogled čini vrlo nelogičnom, imajući u vidu osmansku teritorijalnu ekspanziju na naše prostore, kao i njihove česte ratove s Venecijom na moru, osmanska potreba za kartiranjem hrvatske obale Jadrana postaje manje neobična. A upravo je jedan od najpoznatijih osmanskih kartografa, znameniti admiral Pîrî Reis, 1521.

  • DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean
    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project. The “blind spots” on can be divided into various groups or the European map serve as its subject typologies —although the distinctions are matter: approximately 300 uninhabited is- fluid. lands in the Mediterranean Sea.

    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. U trećem koraku ukljuĉeno je još nekoliko dodatnih podataka s obrazloţenjem.6 1 Ante Irić, Razvedenost obale i otoka Jugoslavije. Hidrografski institut JRM, Split, 1955. 2 T. Duplanĉić Leder, T.

    Workshop on Flood Risk Management measures & links to EU WFD November 11-12, 2015, Zagreb, Croatia ACTIVE FLOOD DEFENCE IN CROATIA: regulatory framework, roles & responsibilities Zoran Đurokovi ć, M.Sc.C.E. Croatian Waters Main Flood Protection Centre Head of Main Centre ∗ Climate change has intensified in recent years worldwide, including Croatia ∗ Extremely dry and wet periods have been alternating frequently in the last approximately 15 years ∗ Damage from extreme hydrological events is increasing ∗ “Average” or “normal” years are becoming increasingly rarer ∗ The frequency of high water waves and extreme water levels including floods is increasing ∗ There are almost no longer any rules concerning the occurrence of high water waves ∗ Forecasting climate models indicate increasingly frequent extreme climate events, both globally and locally ∗ Only in the last 15 years or so, the major part of the Croatian territory has experienced frequent extreme hydrological events which caused droughts in the years 2000, 2003, 2011 and 2012, but also floods in the years 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 ∗ Heavy damage is recorded, primarily in agriculture, but settlements, infrastructure and industrial facilities are also at risk ∗ Still, unlike in many other countries, major fatalities and disastrous damage in the urban areas have been avoided in Croatia ∗ Floods are natural phenomena which cannot be completely prevented. However, flood risks can be reduced to an acceptable level through constant development of flood
