Istraživanje varijabilnosti padalina u ovom radu provedeno je na 43 postaje u Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini za razdoblje 1961. -1990. Varijabilnost padalina analizirana je za godišnje, polugodišnje te sezonske količine padalina. Prostorna analiza pokazala je da je raspon varijabilnosti padalina veći u Hrvatskoj nego u Bosni i Hercegovini. Manje vrijednosti varijabilnosti padalina primijećene su u postajama središnjeg dijela Bosne i Hercegovine. Ipak, potrebna su daljnja istraživanja na većem broju postaja koja bi potvrdila dobivene regionalne razlike jer je broj postaja u Bosni i Hercegovini bitno manji nego u Hrvatskoj, a prostorna je raspodjela postaja neravnomjerna. Manje vrijednosti varijabilnosti padalina za Bosnu i Hercegovinu dobivene su za sva godišnja doba, a najizraženije su u jesen. U najvećem broju postaja u istraživanom prostoru minimum varijabilnosti padalina javlja se u proljeće. Maksimum varijabilnosti padalina, koji se u najvećem broju postaja javlja u jesen, također je izraženiji u Hrvatskoj nego u Bosni i Hercegovini.Ključne riječi: padaline, varijabilnost padalina, Hrvatska, Bosna i Hercegovina Geographical Distribution of Precipitation Variability in Croatia and Bosnia and HerzegovinaThis paper deals with the precipitation variability research that was conducted using precipitation data of 43 stations in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina for the 1961 -1990 period. Precipitation variability was analysed for annual, semi-annual and seasonal amounts of precipitation. The results of spatial analysis showed, that the range of precipitation variability is higher in Croatia than in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Lower values of precipitation variability were observed in the stations of the central part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nevertheless, further investigations are necessary for a number of stations in Bosnia-Herzegovina to confirm this statement. Lower values of precipitation variability in Bosnia-Herzegovina were obtained for all seasons, but largely for autumn. In the majority of stations, the minimum precipitation variability occurs in the spring. Maximum precipitation variability, which for the largest number of stations occurs in the autumn, is more evident in Croatia than in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The subject of this research is the local community’s views on the intangible cultural heritage with an emphasis on the ganga, which could be a significant tourist potential of the rural area of the county. By entering the preliminary list of the intangible cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the ganga becomes a recognizable part, but also an important factor in preserving the tradition of the people and the area in which it originated and in which it still lives. The analysis is based on data collected through empirical research from May to July 2021. The results of the research showed the dissatisfaction of the local community with the current evaluation of intangible cultural heritage, and it is considered necessary to integrate the ganga into the touristic offer of Herzegovina.
