Sažetak
Protected areas (PA) are complex socio-ecological systems where socio-cultural, economic and ecological perspectives intervene. They have a challenging mission which involves the conservation of nature, provision of ecosystem services and creating an opportunity for the development of the local community. Resilience thinking appears as a novel approach which might foster the understanding of how these missions and goals interact. It refers to a specific model of how socio-ecological systems respond to disturbances, or what attributes shape their response to stress (resistance, adaptability, vulnerability). Within this chapter, we discuss the concept of resilience thinking in national parks (NP) in the Jadranska Hrvatska region, Croatia. The analysis involves the investigation of the aspects of disturbances in NPs, and the adaptation of resilience thinking in the management plans of the selected NPs. The research revealed that the selected NPs are facing the increasing visitors’ use which is emphasising the role of good governance and efficiency of management in applying innovative solutions aiming to advance the resilience of these socio-ecological systems.
