Sažetak
In the article we analyze the familiarity with the concept of ecosystem
services, perceptions of their various dimensions and attitudes to them. The target
respondents were employees working in public institutions responsible for public
health, tourism and environment and/or nature protection. Drawing on the COST
project ToBeWell, a questionnaire was designed in order to find out how the concept
was perceived within those institutions in several EU countries, including Croatia.
The research carried out on a non-probabilistic sample in Croatia showed satisfactory
familiarity with the concept within tourism and environment/nature protection institutions
but unsatisfactory familiarity within public health institutions. Although the concept
was perceived as relevant across all three institutional domains, the governance
of ecosystem services and the cooperation in public health, environment protection
and tourism were rated unsatisfactory.
