Sažetak
Sword dances are a significant part of Croatian cultural heritage. They are of three types ; the mock combat dance, chain sword dance, and dances present in wedding contexts ; all three types are listed in the Croatian Croatian Register of Cultural Heritage. These dances are an integral part of traditional events celebrating patron saints days. They are also performed as part of winter carnival events or spring Pentecost. Sword dance community members emphasise the importance of their sword traditions passed on from generation to generation. For example, Moreška was recognised as part of this generational character in Korčula town. Its uniqueness made this combat sword dance a favoured attraction in cultural tourism offered by Korčula. Since modern approaches to safeguarding and valorisation of cultural heritage include consistent usage of information technology, the aim of the web presentation project is to enable easy access to information related to Croatian sword dances and availability based on the annual cultural events calendar. This presentation is about the reaction and visitation of the local communities to the sword dance web page, their expectations and also disappointments related to being listed in the Croatian Register of Cultural Heritage.
