Abstract

Svjetlosno onečišćenje je globalni problem današnjice čije mnogobrojne posljedice imaju štetno djelovanje na čovjeka i okoliš. Ozbiljnost ovog problema ljudi su generalno shvatili i prihvatili nedavno te je iz tog razloga ovaj pojam relativno nov široj populaciji. Kao i većina globalnih problema, svjetlosno onečišćenje je nastalo kao popratna nuspojava razvoja ljudske civilizacije i povećanja životnog standarda. Sukladno tome, problem je izraženiji i veći u razvijenijim dijelovima svijeta, poput Europe. Uz prethodno navedeno, razvoju problema su značajno pridonijeli i nedostatak ljudske svijesti, manjak stručnog znanja i interesa te loše planiranje. S vremenom su ljudi shvatili da ovo onečišćenje uzrokuje razne probleme poput nepotrebnog trošenja energije, uzaludnog financijskog troška, prijetnje biljnim i životinjskim vrstama te različitih zdravstvenih poremećaja pa su počeli poduzimati razne mjere zaštite kojima nastoje zaustaviti njegovo širenje, ublažiti štetne posljedice i održati stanje okoliša pod kontrolom. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je nakon analize stanja svjetlosnog onečišćenja na području Hrvatske, te na temelju iznesenih podataka i činjenica, donijeti zaključak o aktualnosti navedenog problema i mogućim dodatnim načinima podizanja svijesti o njegovoj važnosti i ozbiljnosti.

Abstract (english)

Today, light pollution is a global problem whose many consequences have a harmful effect on humans and the environment. The seriousness of this problem has been generally understood and accepted by people recently, and for this reason, this term is relatively new to the general population. Like most global problems, light pollution has emerged as a side effect of the development of human civilization and the increase in living standards. Accordingly, the problem is more pronounced and greater in more developed parts of the world, such as Europe. In addition to the above, the lack of human awareness, lack of expertise and interest, and poor planning also contributed significantly to the development of the problem. Over time, people realized that this pollution causes various problems such as unnecessary energy consumption, wasted financial costs, threats to plant and animal species, and various health disorders, so they began to take various protection measures to stop its spread, mitigate the harmful effects and keep the state of the environment. under control. The aim of this paper is to analyze the state of light pollution in Croatia and, based on the presented data and facts, draw a conclusion about the relevance of this problem and possible additional ways to raise awareness of its importance and seriousness.
