A new approach to the preparation of a country land-use plan

The country of Dubrovnik-Neretva covers the southernmost part of the Republic of Croatia consisting of a very narrow coastal strip and several southern Adriatic islands. The main economic activity is tourism. It has been developed utilising the very well preserved nature and the beauty of the historic town of Dubrovnik. Typical Mediterranean agriculture, as well as shellfish mariculture, maritime transport, and small-scale industries are additional activities complementing tourism in the area. In accordance with the national legislation each of the 24 countries has the obligation to prepare a land-use plan. Since the main economic activities of the country of Dubrovnik-Neretva rely on marine resources, for the first time in the preparation of land use plans, special attention was devoted to the use and protection of the sea. A special study on this matter is in preparation.
