This article presents a Croatian Adriatic terraced landscape classification, highlighting its natural and cultural background and proposing a classification framework for further research. The classification is based on the landscape level (i.e., the »landscape pattern level«), synthesizing its structural, biophysical, and cultural-historical dimensions. The interpretation of classes involves a combination of general land use, structure, geomorphology, local land use, crops, soil type, and historical aspects. Nine classes of terraced landscapes are identified and described, example locations are given, and they are substantiated with illustrations and photos.

The dry stone wall landscape surrounding the town of Cres is a unique cultural landscape; it is one of the largest well-preserved historical olive groves in the Croatian Adriatic, while simultaneously serving as pasture for sheep. Still, there are currently no studies that capture this landscape as a multifunctional whole or which acknowledge its relevance within the current multidisciplinary discussions. The aim of this paper is to clarify past and current circumstances surrounding and affecting it. The study focuses on two main pillars of landscape preservation: (1) dry stone wall structures and (2) agro-pastoral practices; giving an overview of its historical formation and current management and trends. The goal is to establish knowledge that can be used as a foundation for the management of this area and present a good practice example for the preservation of historical landscapes in the Mediterranean region. The research involved combined desk and fieldwork: cartographic data analysis, literature analysis, GIS elaboration, terrestrial and aerial photographs and observations, followed by interviews with local informants. Continuous investing in the production of quality olive oil and the evolution of the landscape into a multifunctional agro-pastoral-touristic space is what enabled its preservation. This multifunctionality can only be matched by a diversity of scientific studies and this study aimed at providing the first step—a foundation for the identification of the values of the Cres landscape, with the scope of better precising further planning and management.

Hrvatska baštini mnoge i raznolike kulturne krajobraze, no svijest o njihovu postojanju vrlo je niska. Krajobrazi su prepušteni razvojnoj sukcesiji, gubljenju identiteta, neprikladnoj sanaciji i degradaciji. Pridruživanje Europskoj uniji obvezuje nas da na tom području uspostavimo učinkovitu provedbu i mjere njihove zaštite. Analizirana su važnija europska i domaća istraživanja o temi kulturnih krajobraza te relevantni zakonski dokumenti i međunarodne konvencije. Usporedbom stranih i domaćih iskustava analizira se efikasnost naših zakonskih propisa s područja kulturnih krajobraza i krajobraza općenito, primjena njihove zaštite te razina svijesti o njihovim vrijednostima. Upozorava se na nepostojanje temeljnoga dokumenta koji bi se bavio sustavnom zaštitom krajobraza uopće, unatoč potpisivanju

1 One of the sheepfolds became part of the cultural podium for the needs of the programme 'Rijeka -European Capital of Culture 2020', where the art installation 'Kapi' (Drops), which is the work of the architect Smiljan Radić and the sculptor Marcela Corre, could be seen. In May 2021, an exhibition of aerial photographs by Sanjin Ilić, called 'Drop by Drop, Stone by Stone -Life', was set up, along with a hiking tour that led to these structures. Also, representations of Krk sheepfolds are used as souvenirs included in the list of the Tourist Board of the City of Krk.was based on a literature review, cartographic analysis, interviews with the local inhabitants, and field observations. Finally, multicellular sheepfolds are inventoried, described, and assessed within a brief evaluation model that supported a selection of those that are currently most representative and/or those most appropriate for renewal.
