Sažetak
Spanish broom (Spartium junceum L.) is native to the Mediterranean countries, exclusively
in the littoral zone and on the islands. It is currently used in Croatia as an ornamental plant,
for the prevention of erosion and in beekeeping. The beginning of the 20th century saw an
increase in the demand for Spanish broom as raw material. An intensified production of Spanish
broom commenced in 1919 aiming to meet the requirements of textile industry. In 1967
the organised production of Spanish broom ceased, due to the appearance of synthetic fibres
that were considerably more affordable. There is big potential for the production of perfume
essences, perfumes, soaps and aromatic ointments, to name just a few. Prior to the development
of Spanish broom market, it is important to raise public awareness of the importance of
this plant and its management. Innovativeness and originality need to be the principal factors
in the product branding of Spanish broom, whilst simultaneously respecting its history and
tradition. The survey research conducted by pupils and students throughout 2014 provided
an insight into mediocre knowledge and awareness of the potential use of Spanish broom in
the cities of Split and Šibenik.
