Abstract

The paper analyzes the social role of Riva (word of Italian origin
describing the stretch of coastal line within a town) in the
town of Split. The problem is seen as a complex urban space both
defined and specified by a variety of elements such as architectural,
cultural, historical, economic, ecological, symbolic, social,
etc. According to the author, these elements should not be analyzed
on their own, for only when seen as a unique interaction do
they form the phenomenon known as Riva. Consequently, the conclusion
emphasizes the role of Riva (here seen as a unique micro-
ambient wholeness together with its symbolic and landscape
qualities) in forming the urban identity. Finally, the author stresses
the importance of Riva in the ongoing process of re-traditionalizing
urban public life.
