A HISTORY OF ZLARIN

Sažetak
The first chapter entitled _The Geographic Position of Zlarin (pp. 11- 15) describes the island's main geographic characteristics. It is first described as part of the long chain of Islands extending along the eastern Adriatic coast and forming the safest and most important sea routes towards the northernmost tip of the Adriatic. Next it is described as an island that guards the entry to the maritime and continental region of Sibenik and Skradin, which has a considerable economic, communications, strategic and political significance. An organic link between the island of Zlarin and the neighbouring Croatian mainland and the town of Sibenik Is particularly stressed in this connection. The interactive relations between the island and the mainland have throughout history served to strengthen this organic link, making the Island open to influences coming from the Croatian mainland and affecting all aspects of life on Zlarin. Important characteristics of Zlarin's maritime position are also highlighted, as well as the qualities of the sea routes around the island, of the inlet, and of the port round which the village of Zlarin has developed. The general survey is completed with an indication of distances between Zlarin and the neighbouring islands in the Sibenik Archipelago, the town of Šibenik, and several other places on the mainland.
