Summary/Abstract: In the paper are an overview and analysis of the developmental perspectives of the orientation from the spatially-planned documentation for the realisation of the developmental possibilities of Podgorje with regard to the peculiarities of its geographical position, relief-climatic characteristics and historical heritage, and in particular the advantages and limitations for its development which result from the system of the protection of the whole region. The entire surface area of the subject region is located within a region of special interest for the state-protected coastal belt, inside the Velebit Nature Park and the ecological network of the Republic of Croatia, i.e. the EU Natura 2000ecological network, and in the contact area of the Northern Velebit National Park and Paklenica National Park.In the current system of spatial planning the propositions of the strategic documents of thespatial development and the spatially-planned documentation for the area of Podgorje on thre elevels are considered: the spatial plans of the state level for areas of special features, the county spatial plans and spatial plans of municipalities and towns, in the framework of the thesis that the role of spatial planning is the integration of different policies which influence a certain area,wherein the sustainability of development results from the synergistic development of economic,social, natural/environmental and cultural foundation of a space and society.The system of spatial planning is primarily connected with the territorial makeup. By the law of territories of counties, towns and municipalities territorial units are defined which frequently do not include the actual planned area connected with the individual developmental aspects and strategic issues of the environment. In this sense the Spatial Plan of the Velebit Nature Park will be able to perceive the developmental challenges and needs of Podgorje as a whole.
