Evaluation of Tourist Facilities in the Plitvice Lakes Area
Martina Ivanuš
Abstract
The paper is a result of field research and analysis of professional literature and archival materials published as part of an evaluation project of certain buildings in the Plitvice Lakes National Park with the purpose of inscribing the most significant buildings in the Croatian Register of Cultural Properties. The hypothesis of the paper is that the most important construction period occurred after WWII when architecture of the area was adopted to the natural environment and built on the sound basis of pre-war modernism. Most of the surviving buildings are mainly in derelict state, whereas the formal and functional values of those in use are neglected. That might be caused by insufficient research, publication and evaluation of the Plitvice Lakes architecture. Thus, the aim of the paper is to draw attention to this architectural heritage.
