Sažetak
The sustainable use of island resources requires striking a balance between activities to improve the quality of life of the island population and the preservation of the environment as a natural resource on which present and future generations depend. The island economy is based on natural conditions and has its own development limitations compared to the mainland economy, such as electricity and water supply, adequate waste disposal, isolation of transportation, climate adaptation, drought, population decline etc. Due to the above challenges, the author conducted a research with the stakeholders of the Northern and the Southern Adriatic Islands to get a rough idea of whether the main stakeholders are aware of the importance of implementing some sustainable development activities, focusing on energy transition and municipal infrastructure including water supply and waste management. The research focuses on stakeholders' perceptions of the concept of "rethinking" or taking a new look at island development to better implement sustainability principles. From the research results, which are descriptively presented in the PESTLE analysis, it is concluded that all stakeholders are familiar with the concept of sustainable development, but are also aware of the need to make more efforts to implement sustainable development in the daily lives of islanders. The National Development Plan for the islands in the Republic of Croatia for the period 2021 to 2027 also has the basic goal of bringing the living conditions and quality of life on the islands closer to those on the mainland.
