Sažetak
Based on relevant literature, the author warns of problems with environmental protection, and its early warning signs dating back to early medieval times. Indeed, the problem receives its modern terms in Modern Era, namely, during the second half of 19th and early 20th century. Gradual growth of economy, commerce and crafts, as well as building of roads and slow industrialization faced the town of Koprivnica faced with problems of environmental protection in various ways. As everywhere else in the country, in Koprivnica too new businesses were established, like breweries, growing of silkworm cocoons, mills, communal slaughterhouse, salt pans, brickyard production of tiles and brick, etc. Since these industries started to endanger environment, in 1884 the Croatian parliament brought a Law on crafts, which, naturally, had to be put in effect in Koprivnica too. Articles 25 -36 give ruling on environment and ecology issues, as well as possible ways to deal with problems. The paragraphs listed 45 crafts and trades, that provided hazard to the environment: slaughterhouse, tanning, lime and whitewash, brickyard, candle and foundry, mineral oil refinery, soap produce, brewery, oil mill, sugar mill, hard liquor, silk plan, etc. Beside, environmental protection and clean streets were needed, as in the late 19th century Koprivnica had a Town embellishment society. In 1883 in newly founded Bjelovar-Križevci County, each of the County’s three towns had such society of its own. these societies tried to form and build up citizens’ awareness of ecology issues and the need for environmental protection.
