THE ISLAND OF UGLJAN AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Erma Ivoš Nikšić ; Faculty of Philosophy, Zadar

Abstract

The starting point for this study was the strategic and conceptual principles of developing Croatian islands, elaborated by the Republic of Croatia's Ministry of Seafaring, Transportation and Communications. The author analyses possibilities of operationalizing the concept of "sustainable development" as applied to the community of the island of Ugljan. By underlining an insufficient level of economic development and environmental consciousness as fundamental factors for a successful application of the rational philosophy of sustainable development, the author points out at some means of pressure upon those in charge of economic development. An infrastructure should be developed to implement the concept of sustainable development in such a way that it would respond to each specific situation and each local community.
