Sažetak
In this paper we analyse the content and definition of the term landscape/krajolik which
is often interpreted in different ways due to its multiple meaning. In the Croatian language
additional difficulties and further disagreement occur because of the use of another word
(krajobraz) for the same term. Inductive deductive method explains the origin and meaning
of the term landscape which refers to physical space and its perception. Landscape as
existential space is a complex system which consists of physical components, features and
processes and is important in the creation of place identity. Terms “krajolik” and “krajobraz”
can be conceptually separated. In contrast to the landscape/krajobraz, which refers mainly
to areas where natural elements predominate, the notion of landscape/krajolik as a broader
term refers to the complete character of a certain area and equally includes and connects
both groups of components, natural and cultural, together with their intangible characteristics.
Therefore, landscape research, recognition and protection cannot be the subject of a single
scientific field but interdisciplinary approach is called for.
