Abstract
In the paper are an overview and analysis of the developmental perspectives of the orientation
from the spatially-planned documentation for the realisation of the developmental possibilities of
Podgorje with regard to the peculiarities of its geographical position, relief-climatic characteristics
and historical heritage, and in particular the advantages and limitations for its development which
result from the system of the protection of the whole region. The entire surface area of the subject
region is located within a region of special interest for the state-protected coastal belt, inside the
Velebit Nature Park and the ecological network of the Republic of Croatia, i.e. the EU Natura 2000
ecological network, and in the contact area of the Northern Velebit National Park and Paklenica
National Park.
In the current system of spatial planning the propositions of the strategic documents of the
spatial development and the spatially-planned documentation for the area of Podgorje on three
levels are considered: the spatial plans of the state level for areas of special features, the county
spatial plans and spatial plans of municipalities and towns, in the framework of the thesis that
the role of spatial planning is the integration of different policies which influence a certain area,
wherein the sustainability of development results from the synergistic development of economic,
social, natural/environmental and cultural foundation of a space and society.
The system of spatial planning is primarily connected with the territorial makeup. By the law
of territories of counties, towns and municipalities territorial units are defined which frequently
do not include the actual planned area connected with the individual developmental aspects and
strategic issues of the environment. In this sense the Spatial Plan of the Velebit Nature Park will be
able to perceive the developmental challenges and needs of Podgorje as a whole.
