Sažetak
Fragility, peripheralization and dislocation of islands often lead to many social, economic, demographic and cultural problems that put them in an unequal and unbalanced position with the places on the coast. This is particulary evident through the position of the local community on the islands and its connection, principal actors, their roles, and the activities of the local community in general. It is also visible through the position of culture, ie cultural heritage and its management. The purpose of this research (that is a part of the project SECRURAL (UIP-2019-04-5257) was therefore to explore some aspects of the social and cultural dimensions of sustainability on the islands of Brač and Rab, Semi-structured interviews (30) of certain places on the island of Brač (Povlja, Selca, Postira, Pučišća and Supetar) and Rab (Rab) were conducted, as well as the analysis of secondary documentation. Regarding social dimension of sustainability, the respondents on the island of Brač noted the increasing awareness in the community. The social dimension of sustainability proved developed primarily in terms of local community cohesion. The respondents pointed out the close ties and social capital that exist in the community, i.e. the joint problem solving at the town levels, as well as the bottom-up approach to different situations in the towns that proved to be particularly present. Also, the increasing awareness of women at the local level regarding a decrease in patriarchal patterns was noted, specially with younger respondents. The cultural dimension of sustainability on the island of Rab, although existing and very strong (cultural heritage) is often neglected in favour of mass tourism capacities. The research is a contribution to the analysis of sustainability on the Adriatic islands.
