“…The island of Vis is located 43 km from the mainland and has a surface area of 89.7 km 2 , being the ninth largest island in the Adriatic Sea [25]. There are two towns on the island: the town of Vis in the northeast and the town of Komiža in the western part of the island.…”

Over the last decades, the quality and quantity of the Mediterranean freshwater resources have significantly deteriorated due to climate change, unsustainable utilization, user conflicts, and seawater intrusions. On the small and remote island of Vis, where similar issues prevail, the need for alternative water management solutions has yielded managed aquifer recharge (MAR) as a promising option for increasing the safety and resilience of the local and autonomous water supply. By performing a cost–benefit analysis (CBA) to evaluate the feasibility of the deployment of an infiltration pond method in the Korita well field, the results evidenced a positive financial performance and sustainability of the proposed MAR solution. In addition, the overall economic benefits of the project, quantified through the willingness-to-pay method, significantly exceeded its costs, as evidenced by the high benefit/cost ratio of 2.83. The most significant uncertainty related to the infiltration pond method is represented by the high sensitivity to changes in the applied hydrological assumptions (i.e., the evaporation coefficient and number of annual infiltration pond recharges). This study aims to contribute to the understanding of interrelated socio-economic factors of MAR projects in karst aquifers, and represents the first of its kind in Croatia.

“…According to the total length of coasts (island and mainland) of 5835.3 km (Duplančić Leder et al, 2004), Croatia is ahead of all the countries in the Adriatic (74%). On the 79 large islands with an area of over 1 km 2 , 66 are inhabited, 525 are islets with an area of 0.01 to 1 km 2 , and 642 reefs and cliffs have a total area of less than 0.01 km 2 (Duplančić Leder et al, 2004).…”

Comparative analysis of managing beaches as a recreational resource in Croatia and Portugal

Beaches are natural resources that substantially enrich the tourist offer. They are an extremely valuable resource, with economic, recreational, and health significance. Beaches are a place for socializing, sports and enjoying (sun, sea, and sand tourism product). Because of their different roles, especially urban and hotels/resorts beaches, they are exposed to various and numerous negative impacts caused by natural changes and human activity. Beaches should not be just an object for commercial use, as their meaning for people is much wider. This research focuses on managing and protecting beaches that require social responsibility due to their determining role in the national economies. The guidelines for effective management primarily refer the necessity of developing intellectual resources, the coordination between institutions, ensuring pro-activity and being holistic oriented in managing beaches. Scientists and professionals need to recognize their importance and take action to preserve this valuable asset for future generations. In that sense, the purpose of this research is to analyse the legal regulation and to highlight the differences and similarities between two countries, Croatia and Portugal, which due to their physical geography, climate and tourism activity, are based mainly on beach-related activities.

“…The Island of Vis belongs to the Central Dalmatian Islands group. Located 45 km from the mainland, and with an area of 89.72 km 2 (17 km length x 8 km width), it is the 9 th largest island in the Adriatic (Duplančić Leder et al, 2004). Vis is characterised by a typically Mediterranean climate (Csa-Hot-summer Mediterranean climate in Köppen's classification) (Zaninović et al, 2008), with a mean annual temperature of 17°C (DHMZ) and noticeable seasonal contrasts in precipitation.…”

This study provides a reconstruction of the 1.5 ka palaeoenvironmental evolution of the small, and presently dry, Milna valley on the island of Vis. Sediments from the valley were studied using multi-proxy approach, applying sedimentological, mineralogical, petrological, anthracological, malacological, 14 C and land cover analyses, in regard to climatic, vegetation, and hydrological changes. The mineral composition of the siliciclastic detritus from the Milna valley points to the Dinaride Ophiolite Zone in Bosnia as its dominant source of origin, eroded by the Neretva River, and deposited in the form of alluvial sediments in the Central Adriatic area. However, Cetina and Drin Rivers may have also contributed some of the sediments. Regional aeolian resedimentation of the material occurred during Pleistocene, which later accumulated and became preserved in the Milna valley. Beside the Dinaride Ophiolite Zone, part of the mineral composition is influenced by minerals from the Alpine region and by neutral to basic volcanism, probably of Italian origin.
