Sažetak
The increase of the efficiency of protecting and management of the environment is depending on the society, contextual definitions, on personal characteristics of the actors of these activities and on the manner the occurrences react. In the article the attention has been directed to the characteristics of the actors of the protection and management of the environment. We are emphasizing them and thereČ fore the subtitle of the article „People to Be Given the Leading Position“.
The data are showing that the quality of environment in Croatia is mainly stagnating or moving backward. Positive movements towards the environment of better quality, towards long-term and wiser „sustainable“ relation with bio-species and bio-sphere are quite rare. The critical point of further development of the environmental protection and management is located mainly in the area of changes and improvement of actors and the forms of their activities. The attached part of the text is reflecting, using qualitative methods (e.g. studying and participating), on the status of main components of actors' human capabilities in protection and management of environment in Croatia. There has been no systematic and exact empirical research being made on the subject as yet.
The spectrum of human characteristics and capabilities are discussed as „humanware“. It is a neologism, developed after the terms as „software“ and „hardware“, and it means: knowledge, values, consciousness, interests, motivation, social energy and forms of activities. It will be difficult to attain to more efficient management of the environment in Croatia without gradual but constant re-living and fulfillment of social assumptions.
