RURAL AREA AND WASTE MANAGEMENT IN CROATIA

Josip Čiček ; State Directorate for Environment, Zagreb

Abstract

The development and the present state of the total waste material management in the rural area of the Republic of Croatia are being considered. The paper also reviews some of the consequences of the war activities and destruction, that were especially intensive in rural area during the Liberation war.
The intensified changes in the economy and social structure of rural area, and population trends in this country, along with the use of modern technologies in agriculture, produce new sorts of waste materials. On the other hand, even elementary conditions for the appropriate management of this waste do not exist.
A proposal for the improvement of the present situation has been given.
