Sažetak
According to the conclusions by the Council of the European Union (2014), cultural heritage is a resource for sustainable development planning. Sports-related heritage, if recognized and researched, could be an important instigator (momentum) for the development of tourism (Ramshaw and Gammon, 2005) and sustainable development. Starting from this point of view, this paper examines traditional rural games as heritage, that is, as a resource for sustainable local development planning. Traditional rural games were developed during the spare time of peasants, shepherds, farmers, winemakers and fishermen. They were held in the open and used natural materials or parts of agricultural tools as sports equipment. Their ultimate goals were pleasure and entertainment. Traditional rural games are insufficiently researched as heritage, that is, as a resource for sustainable development planning. They simultaneously represent the heritage of sport, culture and tourism. From the aspect of culture, this type of heritage was neglected in scientific research, being considered part of the "low" culture, especially if compared to the "high" culture – art (Pinson, 2017). It was also neglected from the aspect of sports, mainly due to global approaches to sports issues. Given the century-long tradition of tourism demand, traditional rural games could be also viewed in the tourism heritage context. Traditional rural games as sports, cultural and tourism heritage possess both material and immaterial value. In the current tourism offer of Croatia, traditional rural games are presented in a very unorganized and non-systematic way, without being considered in the context of sustainable local development. Traditional rural games in Croatia are mainly of local significance and local value, which is why they could be considered in the context of sustainable local development. Traditional rural games do not require professional athlethes or organizers nor complex sports structures and complex organization systems, whereas participants can be local people, day-visitors or tourists. Unlike global professional sports competitions, rural sports games rely on associations and volonteers and winners do not receive cash prizes but rather a modest material compensation, fun and relaxation. These games can be played by both young and old, male and female, imply spending time outdoors (outdoor activity) and combine nature, sports, competition, personal contribution and fun. The largest portion of the paper examines the relationship between the components of traditional sports games as sports and cultural heritage and sustainable local development. The analysis of components serves as the basis for developing models of reuse of traditional rural games in tourism offer and sustainable local development. The conclusion looks at the relationship between the components of traditional rural games in comparison to sports heritage, cultural heritage and tourism heritage
