HRVATSKI OTOCI: SJEĆANJE NA PET RAZVOJNIH OGRANIČENJA
CROATIAN ISLANDS: REMEMBERING FIVE DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINS

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a schematic overview of five basic development constraints that are expected to significantly affect further transformation of island communities and their economy. They are the following: 1) islands' peripheral position in teritoriai and functional organisation of Croatian society, 2) close dependance of the quality of natural resources on the social system, 3) emphasized local cultural pattern ("campanilism"), 4) domination of social agents that are unable to act independently and 5) inherited rent yielding type of modernisation since these constraints have been repeatedly pointed out in research performed so far, the paper proposes redirection of research towards the determinants of a new revitalisation strategy for most important (if not for all) Croatian island communities.
