“…Previous studies on island tourism have focused on a range of key issues, including sustainable management and tourism development (Albuquerque & McElroy, 1992;Kokkranikal, McLellan & Baum, 2003;Lenzen, 2008;Milne, 1992), island economies and infrastructure investment (Archer, 1989;Giannoni & Maupertuis, 2007), destination image (Beerli & Martín, 2004), ecotourism (Fagence, 1997;Hall, 1993;Hsu, Chen, & Chuang, 2005), and community perceptions of impacts (Carlsen, 1999;Ko & Stewart, 2002;Sethna & Richmond, 1978). Studies of tourism impacts on island communities have primarily focused on warm-water environments (Briassoulis, 2003;Gössling, 2003;Hall, 1994;Haralambopoulos & Pizam, 1996;Ko & Stewart, 2002;LaFlamme, 1979;Marinos, 1983;Milne, 1992;Pantin, 1999;Peak, 2007).…”

Tourism is increasingly perceived as important for island sustainability, though also has impacts. Impacts on host communities have negative consequences on desired interactions with visitors, an important visitor appeal of islands. This paper uses social exchange and social representations theories to investigate island community perceptions of tourism development and impacts. The investigations highlight a diversity of island community perspectives, the salient tourism consequences, and importantly the processes that lead to the perceived impacts. On Magnetic Island, the development of resorts, changes to the type of visitor and consequent changes to the social environment was uncovered as a reason not to interact with visitors. On Bruny Island, visitors overcrowding island infrastructure was highlighted as a key reason not to interact with visitors. On both islands, the reason not to interact was more due to the process of tourism development decision-making, rather than the consequent impacts of these developments. Overall, the research highlights the need for community inclusion and consultation in sustainable island tourism policy and planning, both to facilitate the process of sustainable development and to educate communities of the likely consequences.

“…Osim ovoga pokazatelja u analizi intenziteta i opterećenosti destinacije turizmom upotrebljavali su se brojni drugi pokazatelji poput složenih indikatora održivosti turizma (Blancas i dr., 2010.;Torres-Delgado, López Palomeque, 2014. ), stope turističkog intenziteta, stope turističke penetracije, gustoće i koncentracije (Lundberg, 1974.;de Albuquerque, McElroy, 1992.;Harrison, 1992.;Verbeke, Spee, 1995.;McElroy, de Albuquerque, 1998.;Matzler i dr., 2005.

“…In fact, it was according to Defert's coefficient and rate of tourist functionality that six groups or categories of tourist operative indicators were derived, and these were proposed and used in the ensuing decades as one of the key indicators of spatial and socio-economic tourism identity at various spatial levels (Keogh, 1984;Pearce, 1987;Smith, 1989;Lozato-Giotart, 1992;Potts, Uysal, 1992;Medlik, 1997). Besides this indicator in the analysis of the intensity and encumbrance caused by tourism in a destination, numerous other indicators were used, such as complex indicators of tourism sustainability (Blancas et al, 2010;Torres-Delgado, López Palomeque, 2014), tourist intensity rate, tourist penetration, density and concentration (Lundberg, 1974;de Albuquerque, McElroy, 1992;Harrison, 1992;Verbeke, Spee, 1995;McElroy de Albuquerque, 1998;Matzler et al, 2005;Castellani et al, 2007;Castellani, Sala, 2010) as well as the influence of tourist activity on a locality evaluated via the number of tourist beds in a spatial unit (Dumbrovská, Fialová, 2014).…”

Tourist intensity in Croatia’s leading tourist destinations will be analysed here. 25 tourist towns and municipalities were selected, with the criteria that they achieved more than one million overnight stays in 2016. According to geographical distribution there are ten such locations in Istria, six in the Kvarner region, eight in Dalmatia, and one in central Croatia. In 2016, these leading tourist towns and municipalities had 48% of tourist beds for commercial accommodation in their offers, and collectively achieved 57% of all tourist arrivals and 54% of all overnight stays in the Republic of Croatia. In this analysis of tourist intensity the following indicators were used: the total number of tourist beds, the total number of tourist arrivals, the total number of tourist overnight stays, and an approximation of the population number in municipalities and cities at the end of 2016 according to the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, as well as the area of municipalities and cities according to the data of the State Geodetic Administration. The data cited here were used in order to calculate the tourist intensity rate (TIR), the tourist penetration rate (TPR) according to the total number of total tourist overnight says, the tourism density rate (TDR) which calculates tourism density according to the total number of tourist arrivals and overnight stays, and coefficient of tourist functionality (CTF). The results of this analysis derived from the evaluation of every different percentage all showed that the greatest tourist intensity among all the leading towns and municipalities in the Republic of Croatia are in the municipalities of Funtana and Tar-Vabriga on the west coast of Istria, as well as the Municipality of Medulin in the furthest south of Istria. According to these percentages, the smallest intensity is in the largest cities such as Zagreb, Šibenik and Zadar. Field research and an interview with the representative of the tourist board of the Municipality of Funtana showed that tourist intensity did not endanger the sustainability of this municipality, that it strengthened the local economy by encouraging employment, stimulated the preservation of traditions, and that there were no conflicting relationships between tourists and the local population.
