Sažetak
Tourism on the small Croatian islands began to develop somewhat later than on the mainland, in parallel with intensive depopulation. The development of tourism was largely endogenous, driven by private initiatives and based on private accommodation, with few hotels and camps. Due to the specific conditions in small island communities and their economic systems, the aim of the study is to determine the degree of economic dependence of the local population on tourism and to investigate the perception of tourism and its spatial impact on small Croatian islands. The case studies deal with Zlarin and Krapanj in Šibenik archipelago, which are relatively close to the mainland and well connected to the regional centre Šibenik. The research was conducted using desk-based methods and a field study that included a questionnaire survey of the local population who reside there year-round, seasonally or occasionally. The results show that despite the perceived strong spatial impact of tourism on the islands (environmental, economic and socio-cultural), residents are positive about tourism and its benefits and would like to see its further growth in the future.
