Kontinuiranim praćenjem održivosti stvara se potrebna informacijska osnova za učinkovito upravljanje razvojem turizma u željenom, održivom smjeru. Kako je održivost postala ključni izazov u razvoju kvalitetnih turističkih proizvoda, prije tridesetak godina počeli su se pojavljivati različiti sustavi pokazatelja održivosti. Okvir Svjetske turističke organizacije za procjenu održivosti zajedno sa sustavom ETIS Europske komisije prepoznaje se kao najvažniji i najutjecajniji, dok postoji velik broj novih sustava pokazatelja i skupova koji se uglavnom temelje na njihovu iskustvu. Međutim, unatoč postojećim sustavima dolazi do zabune jer se broj mogućih sustava, a time i broj pokazatelja, stalno povećava, bez jasno definirana okvira i obveze mjerenja. Obilje sustava, inicijativa i u konačnici projekata stvaraju zabludu i nemaju stvaran doprinos osnovnom znanju o stanju održivosti u destinaciji.
This chapter discusses different management approaches and recommendations for administration of protected areas, where tourism is recognised as one of the most important management challenges-depending on the situation, it can be either a curse or a blessing. Therefore, the goal of this chapter is to compare methods of management of protected areas in Croatia and Slovenia, with an emphasis on tourism. The systems of administering protected areas in both countries show some similarities, but also have major differences. In Slovenia, the system is relatively decentralised, especially for protected areas that are of a lower category of protection. This is the result of a bottom-up approach. In Croatia, the top-down approach, mainly characterised by centralised management, prevails-especially in the case of management of national parks and nature parks. Differences in management approaches influence the level to which a given protected area is included in the tourism supply, which is consequentially reflected in forms of tourism as well as differential spatial influences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
