ZADARSKI OTOCI - NATUKNICE ZA IZRADU PROGRAMA REVITALIZACIJE

Zadar islands differ in many ways from the rest of the Adriatic islands: in their size, number of inhabitants and settlements, lack of a town centre on an island, and in the large number of small uninhabitated islands. Their revitalistionpresupposes the removal of the causes which have led to regression, and respecting the new conditions in which the revitalisation process is to develop. Non-agressive, island-adapted tourism (nautical tourism in particular) should be promoted, individualised development programmes should have a priority while programmes implying abrupt import of a large number of new islanders should be avoided. In addition, the island environment should not be protected by mere restrictions but rather by rational planning.
