Abstract

Dojam velike većine javnosti o željezničkoj infrastrukturi u Hrvatskoj je da je to neefikasan način prijevoza putnika i da se javni novac ne bi trebao ulagati u modernizaciju postojeće željezničke infrastrukture. Ovaj rad pokazuje kako se u drugim europskim državama riješio problem neefikasnosti željezničke infrastrukture i kako je postojeća željeznička infrastruktura poslužila kao temelj razvoja turizma. U teorijskom dijelu rada uspoređena je postojeća hrvatska željeznička infrastruktura sa infrastrukturom koje posjeduju neke europske zemlje poput Švicarske, Slovenije i Rusije te je na primjeru njihovih željeznica objašnjeno kako je željeznička infrastruktura stavljena u svrhu razvoja turizma. Također, opisano je tko upravlja željezničkom infrastrukturom u Hrvatskoj i koje su strategije donesene za njenu obnovu i održavanje. Prema navedenim strategijama se može vidjeti da trenutna hrvatska željeznička infrastruktura u bližoj budućnosti nema plan renovacije postojeće željezničke infrastrukture u svrhu razvoja turizma. Imajući to na umu, autor ovog rada provodi anketno istraživanje o stavovima turista u Hrvatskoj na potencijalnu modernizaciju postojeće željezničke infrastrukture u svrhu razvoja turizma te uz pomoć sekundarnih podataka donosi zaključak o tome da se većini ispitanika sviđa ideja o gradnji dodatnih dionica željezničke infrastrukture kako bi se potaknuo turizam u kontinentalnim dijelovima Hrvatske.

Abstract (english)

The vast majority of the public in Croatia is under the impression that the railway infrastructure serves as an inefficient mode of transportation and that therefore no public spending should be made on the modernization of existing infrastructure. This thesis exhibits the way the problem of railway inefficiency was solved and how the existing railway infrastructure acted as a foundation for the development of tourism. The theoretical part brings a comparison of the existing Croatian railway infrastructure with that of several other European countries such as Switzerland, Slovenia, and Russia whose railway systems serve as the means to showcase the use of railways in tourism development. This part also describes the current enterprise responsible for managing Croatian railways along with their restoration and maintenance strategies. These strategies indicate the lack of a renovation plan for the development of tourism. A survey on the stances of tourists in Croatia on the potential modernization of the current railway infrastructure was conducted with this fact in mind. The survey results, completed by secondary data, bring us to the deduction that the majority of respondents like the idea of building additional railroad stretches with the intention of stimulating tourism growth in continental parts of Croatia.
