Sažetak
Croatia is a country with more than a thousand islands, a small number of which are inhabited and provide for a good livelihood throughout the year. Some of the islands are only occasionally inhabited, while others are uninhabited and have no or poor traffic links. Nevertheless, the islands are resources of exceptional value to Croatia. To date, little has been done to tap into their potential: their authenticity and development have been poorly protected and fostered, and even hindered. Sustainable development, the harmonious union of people and nature that ensures that natural resources are used only to limits that are neither threatening nor causing depletion, is particularly important for islands, which is why they require the highest level of environmental protection. To ensure this, only activities that do not conflict with these guidelines should be especially encouraged. The purpose of this chapter is to put forward measures for revitalizing islands. The chapter aims is to identify opportunities for furthering island development by implementing low energy model.
