Small Islands and Large Scale Spatial Development Patterns – Story of the Croatian Island of Unije
The paper deals with impacts of large scale patterns of socio-economic development on small island communities and their economies. The Croatian island of Unije (17 km2, 100 islanders) is chosen as a representative case due to its relatively rich resources and turmoil economic and social history. The paper describes the island's ecosystem, resources, population and built environment and analyses ups and downs that the island experienced in last two centuries. The inability of usual analytical methods to capture features of small economies and communities is observed and discussed. Main external economic factors of changes of the Unije community have been fishing industry with its dynamic spatial pattern and tourist industry which has been the main activity on the island in last 40 years. Other factors have been changes in geo-political environment and general socialist development policies. Development of both industries and corresponding state policies are discussed in order to reveal inability of policy makers to take in account insular development specificities. Policy failure to take in account different effects that the same measure may have in different parts of the territory in which it is applied is also discussed. In the remainder, decentralisation of development management and bottom-up top down policy mix are proposed and elaborated to solve for existing policy failures
