Sažetak
National Cycle Route Development Strategy presents a basis for future development of cycle network in the Republic of Croatia. Stimulated by Euro Velo route development plan, The National cycle network will generate economic growth in regions and their positive impact will be felt across the country. Cycle routes will enable a safe way for employees to their workplace, as well as for children to their schools, and also for tourists an intense enjoyment of nature, recreation and raising health awareness. This paper deals with issues of cross-border networking of cycle routes to European cycle routes, but also with the issue of the concept of induced building of “cycle network” on Croatian territory, which will provide better accessibility to tourist attractions and increase number of possible combinations of movement in a particular zone. This way, an easier access to workplaces and schools would be enabled for local population, and for tourist a long-term retention on a particular territory. This would significantly advance the generation of revenue for local community which is one of stated goals of cycle network building. The main objective of this paper is to identify the concept and the strategy of the development of cycle network in the Republic of Croatia. Since the scope of paper does not allow detailed analysis, the paper does not address systematically the entire space of the Republic of Croatia, but focus is on the “Danube” or Euro Velo 6 cycle route, on the territory of Vukovar-Srijem County and Osijek-Baranja County. The paper will suggest solutions which can easily be applied to the other counties, with necessary upgrades.
