Jadranka Veselić Bruvo
Abstract
The Strategy of the Spatial Arrangenment of the Republic of Croatia plans construciton of a larger number of the newer airport, especially on the islands, as a stimulus for their revitalization and development. The paper points to the necessity of intentional planning of the airport construction which must be balanced between the economic criteria and benefit of the users and community on the hand, and space management on the principles of sustainable development including all categories of enviromental aspects on the other hand. Planning must respect the existing and possible new traffic connections, potential users of the airport – tourism, fishery, industry, agriculture and central services, and estimate contribution of the airport to the total development of the island, and also to existence and demografic development of the local population.
