Sažetak
Since the 1950s the Yugoslav Adriatic coast became a popular tourist destination. The rapid development of an economically deprived littoral was one of the strategic priorities of former Yugoslavia. For such purpose, an “integral” physical planning approach was conceptualized with the aim to channel economic demands, develop modern tourist resorts and preserve both nature and historical settlements. Hotels and tourist resorts emerged as one of the most exciting topics for architects, resulting in a quick evolution of diverse architectural typologies, urban planning methodologies and interior design. Planned tourism in Croatia during Yugoslavia was able to set in motion a dual process that on one hand lead to contribution to architecture culture, and on the other built “lucrative landscapes” competitive on international market which are mainly still functional today. Tourism was a fundamental “modernizing device” which affected reconfiguration of urban littoral and gradually introduced changes of local social dynamics.
