Mobilisation of the Local Community Against Undesired Use of Local Space
Sanja STANIĆ
Abstract
In the article the research results of mobilisation of the local community
against the undesired use of local space are presented on
the example of Stobre~ near Split. Within the Project ECO Ka{telan
Bay, in the area of this local community the construction of a
sewage system with an undersea waste-water outlet was planned.
The local community is generally not against a new installation in
its area, but demands such construction which would guarantee
environmental, material and other types of safety. In order to prevent
unwanted intervention, the local population got mobilised in
protection of the local space. Mobilisation is in this respect a way
and attempt of the local community to affirm itself as an equal
partner in the process of managing local space. It is concluded
that mobilisation is a dynamic process during which numerous
activities are undertaken, their modalities and frequency changed
depending on the results achieved. Mobilisation represents environmental
reaction, which, in the case explored, can be defined
as environmental defence and a developed form of environmental
action. Mobilisation is the activity of preserving and protecting
the local environment, way and quality of life, resources and the
existing economic situation in which prosperity is recognised.
