Abstract
Based on the information gathered from archival and field research, and their translation from analogue to digital, a series of new maps showing urban transformations in the historical district of Veli Varoš in Split since World War II have been created. This paper presents these maps and tests the hypothesis about the architectural structure of Varoš as a product of continuous dialectic relationship between urban and conservation policies, broader social and economic processes, and local construction practices. The aim of the analysis has been to establish the influences and correlations between these three phenomena concerning the functions, spatial integrity, and the historicalambiental values of Veli Varoš before 1990 and then from 1990 until the present day, when broader spatial and social transformations are a direct consequence of modern tourist industry.
