Sažetak
The greatest part of crushed stone, gravel and sand production is won by open pit operations, whereas gravel and sand partially also from river beds. Its obvious that such a mining activity provoke some changes in the configuration and environmental characteristics of the region, in the temporary or permament disapperance of vegetable or animal species and in the creation of noise, dust and waste water. However, mentioned mining operations shouldn't have only negative effects on the landscape and land potential, but they can discover and predetermine potential of exploited area for various communal purposes after exploitation (eg. sports and recreation centers, campsites, resorts, fish-farms, etc.). In this paper, construction aggregates production in plants located in the vicinity of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia are presented. Advantages and disadvantages of aggregates production in the urban area in the spirit of sustainable development are discused.
