“…In addition to the issue of high unemployment rates and the shutting down of economic activities, the issues of having lower levels of educated citizens and the outflow of the young and educated people prevent the creation of new opportunities for the development in underdeveloped areas. A poor socio-economic situation results in lower fiscal capacities for them or units of local self-government (in Croatia, units of local self-government are cities and municipalities) and makes the populace dependent on government aid [35]. Accordingly, the Strategy for the Regional Development of the Republic of Croatia until the end of 2020 had identified strategic goals that are planned to be realized through following the Strategy plan.…”

Among the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development are cities that provide social and economic progress for their inhabitants. Urban management and development face many challenges in the continuous creation of new jobs and prosperity without harming the environment and resources. Most cities in Croatia, especially in the coastal areas, are recognized as tourism destinations: tourism is the most important economic activity. The aim of this paper is to investigate, based on secondary available data, whether having tourism as a generator of the city's overall development is sufficient to make it an attractive place to live. In these times of intensive economic, sociological and cultural changes, tourism destination management needs to recognize and to define a suitable and feasible model, methodology and the means of implementing urban destination development strategy. The mere notion of a tourism destination implies the integral management of all key stakeholders. Faced with negative demographic processes, the underdevelopment of the urban settlements network, with its function and economy, we conclude that national policies need to give special attention to those urban areas that lag behind the national average. Based on that analysis and the conclusions drawn from it, our paper suggests a model of a sustainable transitional city that is economically independent, and which is an attractive place not only for visiting tourists, but also for its residents throughout the year.

“…The problem of multicollinearity can be solved by excluding one of the indicators or by replacing it with another indicator. For ex-ample, for the development index calculated for the period 2006-2008, the problem of multicollinearity was solved by excluding the indicator budget revenue per capita, and also by replacing this indicator with alternative indicators of regional budget strength (Perišić, 2014.). A high correlation of budget revenue per capita and income per capita is expected.…”

The development level assessment and categorization of Croatian local and regional units is based on the value of the development index which is the main instrument of Croatian regional policy. The development index is a composite indicator calculated as a weighted average of five socioeconomic indicators. The goal of this paper is to analyze the uncertainty and sensitivity of the development index that arise from the procedures and indicators used in its construction. This analysis is then used to propose useful guidelines for future impovements. The methodology of the Croatian regional development index has been critically reviewed, revealing problems of multicollinearity and the existence of outliers. An empirical and relatively more objective multivariate approach for weight selection has been proposed. The uncertainty and sensitivity analysis were conducted using Monte Carlo simulations and variance-based techniques. Instead of a unique point estimate for the development level of territorial units an alternative confidence interval approach was considered.

Regionalna politika jedna je od najsloženijih javnih politika. Prioritetni joj je cilj uravnoteženiji razvoj nacionalnog prostora. Jedan od preduvjeta za uspješno provođe-nje regionalne politike gospodarski su homogene regije kako bi provođenje, praćenje i ocjena razvojnih mjera bili što jednostavniji i logičniji. U radu se razmatraju značajke i uloga predloženih planskih područja (prema prijedlogu Zakona o regionalnom razvoju) u formuliranju i vođenju razvojne politike. Povezano s tim, analizirani su demografski i ekonomski profi l NUTS 2 regija, planskih područja i pripadajućih županija korištenjem razvojnih indikatora za 2011., odnosno 2013. godinu. Demografske značajke istražene su komparativnom analizom prostornog razmještaja stanovništva i indeksom demografskih resursa, a gospodarske standardnim ekonomskim pokazateljima -bruto domaćim proizvodom, bruto domaćim proizvodom po stanovniku, stopom nezaposlenosti, kompozitnim indeksom razvijenosti i indeksom specijalizacije.Ključne riječi: regionalna politika, planska područja, homogenost regija, regionalni razvoj, Hrvatska Proposed Planning Areas of Croatia in Terms of Regional PolicyRegional policy is considered as one of the most complex public policies. Its most important goal is the balanced development of the national territory. One of the major preconditions for successful implementation of regional policy is a region that exhibits the quality of economic homogeneity, in which implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development measures would be simple and logical. This article analyses features and roles of proposed planning areas (according to the draft Act on Regional Development) in terms of formulation and management of regional policy. Therefore, the article explores the demographic and economic profi le of the planning area and associated counties based on data for the year 2011 or 2013. Demographic features are analyzed by comparative analysis of spatial distribution of population and by the index of demographic resources, while economic features are described by usual economic indicators -gross domestic product, gross domestic product per capita, unemployment rate, composite development index and an index of specialization.
