Valorisation Of Cultural Heritage In Sustainable Development Of The Dubrovnik Region: Model Analysis Of Features Restricting The Use Of Region Components

INTRODUCTION - Research into the Dubrovnik region was prompted by problems of development and preservation of cultural heritage of the urban region. The coastal area of the Dubrovnik urban region is characterized by intensive construction works and population growth, whereas the hinterland faces stagnation in the development and population decrease. To ensure the preservation of cultural heritage, development of the region is planned in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. However, compatibility of the region’ s development with the principles of sustainable development has not been valorized yet. GOAL - The research goal is to valorize features of sustainable development and show the role of cultural heritage in the development of the Dubrovnik urban region. METHODS - 1. Design of the region’ s structural-functional model to show its structural and functional features. 2. Valorization of how compatible the region’ s organization is with an ideally organized region, i.e. region organized in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. 3. Valorization of how compatible the researched region is with comparable regions from the nearby environment. 4. Valorization of features of sustainable development of the region. RESULTS - Research results show evaluation of the structural and functional organization of the Dubrovnik urban region – Croatia and comparable regions: Ibiza – Spain, Cannes – France, San Remo - Italy and Rhodes – Greece. CONCLUSIONS - Organization of the Dubrovnik urban region, unlike the four Mediterranean regions, is characterized by restricted maximum use of the space conditioned by elements of cultural heritage.
