Abstract
This is a case study of the place Povlja on the island of Brač. The aim of the study is to outline several possible development scenarios for the place with regard to its economic situation, primarily tourism and agriculture. Some reference and comparison is made to agriculture and tourism of other Adriatic islands. The analysis of documentation and statistical data present the demographic picture of Povlja and its tourist potential; the method of semi-structured interviews with permanent and periodical/temporary residents of Povlja examines what they see as the main driving force of development. They also express their views on the most likely and the least desirable scenario of the three (mass tourism, sustainable tourism and stagnation).
