Abstract
ABSTRACT
The paper brings an overview of a rural development strategy of Krapina Zagorje County. The strategy is applicable on Republic of Croatia through a determinated project containing enough cohesive force to produce significant macro economic effects implicating regional development. The emphasis is put on a model which is calculating the influence of innovative projects in rural area on macro economic indicators of the region, based on an example of the analysis of a pilot project «Rural Tourism Development Based on revitalization of Krapina Zagorje County Castles». The defined model measures macro economic effects and gives following indicators of the pilot projects in Krapina Zagorje County: the impact on the Krapina Zagorje County GDP, the impact on the local and regional budget, the impact of the project on the tourism sector on the County level. All of the indicators are presented in the light of synergic effects due to compatibility to strategic development aims of Republic of Croatia, including IPA Programme co-financing in the period 2007-2013.
