Mapping landscape values as a method of sustainable tourism planning - a case study conducted in Croatian islands
Space and environment are inherent notions of tourism and, conversely, the concept of tourism is inconceivable without the components of space and environment. The globally spreading mass tourism has increasingly led to environmental problems, and the participation of the process of globalization in tourism is to be recognized in that process nowadays. The new sustainable tourism therefore has classifying potential of tourist attractions in landscape, which could be used in planning feasible tourist development and environmental protection. The major goal in landscape planning is to foster environmental protection and conservation, whereas the aims of tourism planning are to engender tourism promotion and areal development. This paper seeks to determine how the two opposite attitudes could be combined together to bring about sustainable tourism development under the banner of landscape planning methods. The research is proposed on Croatian islands of Mljet and Korčula. As the result of the analysis, two aspects of landscape-tourism relationship are identified and described. The first is that the environment-tourism relationship is mutually beneficial, and landscape is even being protected and preserved through tourism. The second is that they are in conflict and that tourism is destroying and degrading landscape to the point of illegibility. Concern about the landscape should be upgraded from basic protection to a higher level of landscape planning and management. Tourism planning must be moved from the domain of noting capacity and calculations to diversification of tourist activity and creation of new synergies with landscape benefits. It is highly important to integrate possible scenarios of recognition, evaluation and protection of landscape identity into the planning process, so as to create a new brand which will trigger a new form of specific sustainable tourism.
