“…Despite the analysed processes, the pressure of tourism on Mljet increased continuously in the 2000s and 2010s and exceeded the pre-war maximums by 2 or 3 times. With 2,370.2 arrivals and 212.3 beds per 100 inhabitants in 2016, Mljet became one of the most pressured areas in southern Dalmatia, largely exceeding regional averages (1,302.8 and 69.8, respectively) (CBS, 2003;2013;2017). It is important to note that, apart from registered tourism, an additional 30% of tourist arrivals and overnight stays goes unregistered (according to tourism stakeholders) (Šulc, 2016).…”

“…Although the structure and travel habits of tourists changed, spending summer holidays in a preserved natural environment remained the most important motivation for visitors, due to which the Park still registered 75% of all tourists on the island. Sources: RBS (1967;1977;1982;1987); CBS (1992;2017) The period of stagnation that followed in the late 2000s was generated by the economic crisis on the main international tourist markets, the island's underdeveloped and stagnant tourism supply, and the fickle nature of tourists' preferences (Šulc, 2017). Concurrently, almost all settlements became involved in tourism by offering similar tourism products.…”

Located in southern Dalmatia, Mljet has some of the best-preserved nature among the inhabited Adriatic islands, and the western part was declared a national park in 1960. After World War II, the island faced intensive depopulation and transformation from an agriculture-oriented economy to a service-oriented economy. This chapter investigates the role of tourism in the socioeconomic transformation of the island and the social pressure of tourism on the small local community. The goals were to investigate the role of tourism in demographic processes on Mljet, its impact on the socioeconomic development of the island, and to measure the pressure of tourism on the local community. The research confirmed the significant role of tourism in the island's socioeconomic and demographic transformation, but it also revealed some of the highest levels of social pressure due to tourism in southern Dalmatia, which is not acceptable for a tourism area with a highly-preserved natural environment.

This chapter investigates the role of Environmental Citizenship within the twenty-first-century societal issues of human activities – urban development, transport systems, tourism, and cultural heritage. The first part of the chapter analyses the relationship between Environmental Citizenship, urban development, and cultural landscapes. Cities are home to the majority of the world’s population and are responsible for most of the resource consumption and waste production, which places them in the focus of Environmental Citizenship discourses. The issues of urbanisation and Environmental Citizenship are followed by issues of sustainable transport that, among others, have a goal of reducing transport disadvantage of marginalized social groups. Cultural heritage is identified as a new fourth pillar of sustainable development (along with environment, economy and society), and its role in Environmental Citizenship is explored. Sustainable tourism is reviewed using new approaches that have adopted elements of Environmental Citizenship and were introduced as a reaction to unsustainable mass tourism. Finally, the chapter presents certain practices of Environmental Citizenship within the investigated fields of expertise that could be promoted and implemented elsewhere.

“…Danas se Dubrovnik u društvenim znanostima najčešće istražuje iz perspektive turizma, pri čemu autori navode negativne posljedice muzealizacije stare jezgre, zanemarivanje "periferije", tj. svega izvan zidina (Kunst 2017) i štetnosti masovnog i neplaniranog turizma (Šulc u tisku;Šulc 2017;Ban i Vrtiprah 2003). Također se navodi kako je turizam u Dubrovniku dosegnuo fazu stagnacije oko 2005.…”

Istraživanje razvojnih perspektiva u ruralnoj lokalnoj zajednici Nataša Bokan Zavod za agrarnu ekonomiku i ruralni razvoj, Agronomski fakultet, Sveučilište u Zagrebu Orlanda Obad Institut za etnologiju i folkloristiku, Zagreb Rad se bavi razvojnim perspektivama ruralnog područja Grada Dubrovnika. Cilj je istražiti izazove s kojima se poljoprivrednici susreću u radu i svakodnevnom životu, utvrditi potencijale za razvoj te ponuditi razvojne smjerove ruralne lokalne zajednice u Gradu Dubrovniku. Empirijsko je istraživanje provedeno metodom ankete i polustrukturiranog intervjua među pedeset tri poljoprivrednika/ce u svibnju 2016. godine u selima i drugim naseljima u ruralnom prostoru koja pripadaju Dubrovniku. Utvrđena su tri komplementarna razvojna smjera: diversifikacija ruralnih djelatnosti koja je povezana s konkuriranjem za fondove Europske unije, osnivanje zadruga i razvoj zadružnog načina suradnje te prelazak na ekološku poljoprivrednu proizvodnju. U analizi se kritički sagledavaju razvojne prepreke u svim trima aspektima razvoja te se predlaže kako bi se razvojni potencijali mogli upotrijebiti na dobrobit lokalne zajednice. Slijedeći logiku neoendogenog ruralnog razvoja, autorice u zaključku ocrtavaju konture razvoja ruralnog područja Grada Dubrovnika koji bi, u socioekonomskom pogledu, u većoj mjeri integrirao Grad, ali ističu i prepreke na putu takvog razvojnog smjera u lokalnom kontekstu. Ključne riječi: ruralni razvoj, diversifikacija, zadrugarstvo, ekološka poljoprivreda, Dubrovnik Uvod 1 Ako postoji neka strategija preživljavanja lokalnog stanovništva u ljetnim mjesecima u Dubrovniku, gradu koji godišnje bilježi više od milijun turističkih dolazaka, 2 ona je proizvod prešutnog dvostrukog koda, koji je odraz nevidljive solidarnosti lokalnih 1 Istraživanje je 2016. provela neformalna istraživačka skupina Ruralije, u sklopu projekta Dubrovačke razvojne agencije (DURA) pod nazivom "Agrobiznis-oplemenjivanje poljoprivredne baštine u prekograničnoj Dubrovačko-hercegovačkoj regiji". Obje su autorice rada članice Ruralija. Ovaj je rad sufinancirala Hrvatska zaklada za znanost projektom "Transformacija rada u posttranzicijskoj Hrvatskoj" (IP-2016-06-7388). 2 Prema Popisu stanovništva, kućanstava i stanova Državnog zavoda za statistiku (DZS) iz 2011., Grad Dubrovnik imao je više od 40 tisuća stanovnika, a područje je sastavljeno od 32 naselja, među kojima sâm Dubrovnik ima oko 28 tisuća stanovnika (DZS 2011).
