Summary/Abstract: During the last several years in Croatia as well as in some neighboring states (Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Monte Negro) we can follow the trend of interventions in rural areas through establishment of so called ethno-villages with the economic incentive of presenting traditional architecture and pre-industrial items of peasant everyday life in tourist purposes. Such projects are often conducted on large areas, and are financed by private entrepreneurs. Conceptualization and implementation of those projects is frequently conducted without preliminary consultations with any competent institution and profession, including conservators. A caveat should therefore be expressed that the implementation of these projects as well as their tourist-oriented presentation can be ethnologically inapt.
