Discovering cultural landscape in Croatia: History and classification of Croatian Adriatic enclosed landscape

This paper presents the diversity of Croatian Adriatic enclosed landscapes through their history and classification. The model of ‘landscape pattern’ is applied - the synthesis of information on land use, land structure, geomorphology, soil, agricultural practices and economic history. The result is derived from long-term research which has involved field work, terrestrial and aerial photo documentation, landscape history research, creation and analysis of various spatial and cartographic GIS data. Six general classes have been recognised (micro-clusters, individual enclosures, managed woodlands, pastures, fields and karst clearings for crops), as well as fourteen sub-classes, described and presented with illustration, photos and GIS data.
