Abstract

This work presents the transformation of Dobrinj municipality on the island of Krk under the tourism influence. Three groups of the consequences of tourism influence as a tranformation factor have been particulary analysed: a role in demographic development, that in socio-economic restructuring, and that in settlement transformation. The role of tourism in settlement transformaton is most strongly manifested, then its role in a differentiated demographic development of the coastal and inland settlements, and, finally, that in economic development. We can conclude that tourism already represents a transformation factor of Dobrinj municipality, although its role is not so pronounced as in the areas of the island of Krk where tourism is more developed.
