Sažetak
In recent years, with the expansion of tourism, there has been an increasing interest in preserving and presenting a larger number of archaeological and heritage sites. Many problems occur in heritage management in urban areas such as difficulty preserving sites because of various infrastructural interventions, higher rate of construction due to tourist demand, city expansions… The Croatian part of Adriatic is no different. Given the position and history of the Adriatic, almost every new building venture needs archaeological monitoring and a lot of them end up being archaeological sites that need excavating. Since tourism is a big part of the Croatian economy, the public opinion regarding archaeological sites in urban areas is divided. How does the public interact with said sites and how do they see them, as a positive or rather negative occurrence? Archaeological sites attract tourists and add value to properties and tourist offer. But also, they can be too big of an investment if they are to be presented to the public and they sometimes slow down the construction and development of certain urban areas. Some positive and negative aspects of such sites in tourist areas will be presented.
