Sažetak
There is an impending need of measuring the quality of environment that is site-specific, particularly in the regions exposed to pronounced pressure of land development, as is the case in Croatia, a country extremely rich in natural beauties and the variety of its ecosystems, while on the other hand prone to transition vulnerabilities, especially with regard to regulating its land use in sensitive coastal karst area. The purpose of the paper is to propose a model for evaluating land use quality and its variations to be used for planning the use of the space, issuing the permits and producing the environmental impact studies. The author elaborated the case of the Quarner bay situated in northern of the Adriatic Sea considering the following factors: variation in size of impervious surfaces, transforming the coastal belt into industrial zone, pressures from maritime transport, road transport, utilities sector, power generation sources and technology and the quality of governance prevailing at national and local level. Fuzzy inference system is used to calculate the output land use quality parameter integrating health, environment, quality of living of the local community and of tourism, demonstrating its sensitivity to variations of different input parameters. The model is flexible since different input parameters and fuzzy rules may be used in the context of different site- specific features. Selected input parameters should owing to their significance in evaluating the state of the environment be further developed and constantly monitored.
