Sažetak
Pokret otoka (Island Movement) was created in 2015 as a citizens' initiative, primarily focused on expressing dissatisfaction with proposed Law on Concessions, particularly emphasizing concession of the maritime domain, the coast (beach). In order to better coordinate activists and volunteers in the various Adriatic islands, Pokret otoka became a "community platform". On the official website, Pokret otoka is described as "a self-sustaining and solidarity network of islanders and island lovers who, through connecting individuals, organizations and ideas, builds a responsible and sustainable society." Initially, activists and volunteers from seven islands were active within the platform, while today this number is 32 Adriatic islands. With sixty official members it has an extensive and numerous network of volunteers and activists, and it is particularly important to emphasize that their representatives are actively involved in island-related processes at the European Commission. This kind of community platform is a multi-faceted phenomenon that goes beyond the scope of non-governmental organizations and is positioned as a holistic platform for the development of Croatian islands and for improving the living conditions of all islanders. Total of ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of Pokret otoka, island residents, as well as respondents who occasionally visit one of the Adriatic islands. The complexity of the studied phenomenon and the scope of the research make it impossible to explore all aspects of activisam and organizational structure of Pokret otoka. Within this text, we have focused on several basic aspects of Pokret otoka and the islands themselves as specific communities, namely identity issues and symbolic aspects of island life ; to the various institutional levels through which the Pokret otoka operates.
