Sažetak
Generally, the question of development for each area or development policy is how we develop and build, and during that, in general, to preserve the existing biodiversity, flora and fauna, cultural heritage, air and water quality and the landscape. In recognition of the EU acquis in the field of environmental protection, Croatia has assumed the obligation and the implementation of a strategic evaluation of the impact of curriculum on the environment. Social benefit from Strategic environmental impact assessment (SEIA), as a practical way of special monitoring and assessing the impact of development activities on the environment, proved to be very useful. It gives a possibility to the plans and programs makers that its development ideas could be assessed while creating a document, giving the possibility to change concepts and providing alternative proposals, which was not practice until now. The new Decree on Strategic assessment of the effects of the curriculum on the environment in Croatia is the obligation of making Strategic environmental impact assessment (SEIA), which brought environmental criteria in the process of spatial planning and development of sectoral strategies with which these processes, so far, have not been so thoroughly engaged. With the help of this procedure, the importance of environmental criteria and environmental sustainability plans and programs come into the focus and entire social dialogue about the importance of environment in development become clear and meaningful.
