Summary/Abstract: In this writing the author brings out the results of his own field-research work as well as the descriptions of the traditional ways of sheep-breeding found in the available literature concerning the village Draga Bašćanska. Besides tourism, which is one of the most important branches of economy in these parts, there also exists a less conspicuous, very archaic type of sheep-raising, typical for the island of Krk.

This type of sheep-breeding was developed due to some climatic and geographical circumstances, characteristic for the island of Krk. Therefore the strict organization and distribution of the life-space represents, for the inhabitants of Draga Bašćanska a certain microcosms, controlled by strict rules, where everyone has his own place and role.
