  • Dalmatia – a Rough Guide to the Tour
    Dalmatia Delights A Rough Guide to the Tour 2 Dalmatia Delights Preface This guide (entirely and unashamedly lifted from other sources, mostly cited) tries to follow the Dalmatian Delights itinerary for the Ferris Wheels tour. Its purpose is to present in one place some highlights of the tour; and, hopefully, save participants from buying several guide books, although there is at least one book (Western Balkans, Lonely Planet) that covers a lot but not all of the itinerary. First, a little introduction to Dalmatia. As I noted on my Dalmatia page, the term is a loose way of referring, partly to Dalmacija, a region in Croatia, but then, loosely, to surrounding regions spanning coast, hinterland and mountains in parts of Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and, for good measure, the Passo di Stelvio in the Italian Dolomites. So don’t get too hung up on the name. More strictly speaking, Dalmatia (Croatian: Dalmacija), is an historical region on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea and is situated in Croatia. It spreads between the island of Rab in the northwest and the Bay of Kotor, in Montenegro, in the southeast. The hinterland, the Dalmatian Zagora, ranges from fifty kilometers in width in the north to just a few kilometers in the south. The Dalmatian dog gets its name from Dalmatia. In antiquity the Roman province of Dalmatia was much larger than the present-day region, stretching from Istria to historical Albania. Dalmatia signified not only a geographical unit, but it was an entity based on common culture and settlement types. Secondly, Dalmatia came before the dog! The dog got its name from its association with Dalmatia.

    Living Learning Catalogue Best practises for new approaches in tourism Preface “The main purpose was to enrich the analytical skills, while developing new knowledge based on digital tools and services” BLUTOURSYSTEM is a European project based on the Interreg Italy - Croatia 2014 2020 program and which involved 6 partners representing the academic and institutional world; a project that at the territorial level has affected the Veneto region and the Puglia region for the Italian side while for the Croatian territory the Istria region and the area Southern part of the croatian country. The main purpose was to enrich the analytical skills of stakeholders, while developing new knowledge based on advanced and digital tools and services. Blutoursystem, after having inherited the results of the previous TourMEDasset project coordinated by the Ca ‘Foscari University, designed a new ambitious path whose key concepts were: • Business ecosystem, in reference to the network of organizations involved in providing the products and services that make up the tourism product; • Quadruple Helix approach, that is the reduction of the barriers that exist between the academic, institu- tional, private and civil world, stimulating the interaction, to encourage economic and social development; • Living Labs, laboratories with a dual dimension: the real one represented by multiple meetings that involved local actors, to collect the main needs and draw together future scenarios capable of facing challenges and maximizing benefits; on the other hand, a technological dimension: in a world where data is the real wealth, having free access to dashboard containing organized data and knowing how to read it becomes a real chal- lenge.

An island is a piece of land surrounded by water. This atlas is focussed on small and very small islands that fall below the system of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) within the European Union not having a fixed link to the European mainland. ESIN represents 1,640 such islands with a resident population of 359,357people. These small islands have 3-4 million summer residents and ten times as many visitors, which creates a heavy human pressure on the islands’ social, technical and ecological systems.

U razdoblju od 1870. do 1880. godine u Pupnatu se jasno očituju prvi simptomi demografske tranzicije: porast stanovništva, smanjenje mortaliteta, prilično visoka ženidbena dob i produljen ljudski vijek. Tranzicija je na samom početku i zahvatila je samo mortalitet staračkog kontingenta, dok je dječji mortalitet još uvijek vrlo visok.

    Sani Sardelić DOI 10.32458/ei.23.2 Korčula Town Museum UDK 069.5:394.4](497.584) Korčula Review paper [email protected] Received: 30th June 2018 Accepted: 27th August 2018 The Things We Investigate: the Preparation of Exhibitions about Kumpanija Sword Dance on the Island of Korčula at Korčula Town Museum "Stop right there, captain!" This paper shall present recent research conducted for the purposes of a series of theme exhibitions at Korčula Town Museum on island dance Kumpanija, a protected intangible heritage of the Republic of Croatia, as well as tangible and intangible sources exhibi- tions are based on, and the changes observed in contemporary performance practices. The research was motivated by the 28th symposium of the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM) Study Group on Ethnochoreology held in July 2014 on the island of Korčula. This paper brings a short overview of native researchers, starting with the earliest published texts dating back to the end of the 19th century, "re-discovered" connections, first contacts and first visits by foreign researchers who came to Korčula in the first decades of the 20th century in order to see and experience these unique performances first hand. Despite the changes in performance practices, it seems that, by adapting to contemporary performance practices, Kumpanija from the island of Korčula found a new life, as testified by the growing number of performances each year. Keywords: Korčula Town Museum kumpanija, museum exhibition, Korčula A series of exhibitions set up at Korčula Town Museum aimed at investigating, collect- ing, documenting and presenting Kumpanija dances of the island of Korčula, protected intangible cultural heritage of the Republic of Croatia, was motivated by the 28th symposium of the International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM) Study Group 27 on Ethnochoreology held in July 2014 on the island of Korčula.

According to some, the combination of Korcˇulan archive data, Korcˇulan Marco Polo; family names and some historical facts give the island’s inhabitants the opportunity to question Invented tradition; Marco Polo’s ‘‘Venetian origin’’ and attempt to claim that he or his family originated on the island. Place marketing The author analyzes the attitudes and opinions of local residents concerning the issue and discusses it in the framework of the concept of invented tradition. The contemporary use of Marco Polo name as a symbol for Korcˇula Island reveals its great potential for tourism. ª 2013 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Institution for Marine and Island Cultures, Mokpo National University.
