Abstract

Ubrzani životni ritam i život u gradu utječu na težnju ljudi da svoj odmor provedu u prirodi daleko od svakodnevnih obaveza. Paralelno s time, razvija se svijest i želja očuvanja i zaštite prirode radi očuvanja tih resursa za nadolazeće generacije. U okviru toga, razvija se ekoturizam kao specifični oblik turizma koji označava kretanje turista u pravilu na zaštićenim područjima gdje je prisutan minimalan utjecaj čovjeka, a naglasak je na očuvanju prirodnih i pripadajućih kulturnih resursa. Ta zaštićena područja su ugrožena područja kojima prijeti trajna promjena ili uništenje ukoliko se poveća utjecaj čovjeka na njih. Jedan od najboljih primjera takvih područja je NP Plitvička jezera koji predstavlja jedan rijedak i specifičan prirodni fenomen i zato privlači izuzetno veliku pažnju posjetitelja. Upravljanje takvim lokalitetom zahtijeva pomno planiranje i razradu plana upravljanja jer takav lokalitet ima jako osjetljive dijelove koji su podložni trajnom uništenju stoga su različite državne institucije uključene u provedbu istog. Razvoj turizma na takvom području ima svojih prednosti, ali i nedostataka i potrebno je pronaći ravnotežu, a sve u svrhu održivosti ovakvog specifičnog prirodnog resursa.

Abstract (english)

The fast pace of life and life in the city affect the desire of people to spend their holidays in nature away from everyday obligations. At the same time, the awareness and desire to preserve and protect nature is being developed in order to preserve these resources for future generations. Within this, ecotourism is being developed as a specifical interest tourism that means the movement of tourists, usually in protected areas where there is minimal human impact, and the emphasis is on the preservation of natural and associated cultural resources. These protected areas are endangered areas that are threatened with permanent change or destruction if human influence on them increases. One of the best examples of such areas is the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is a rare and specific natural phenomenon and therefore attracts a lot of attention from visitors. The management of such a site requires careful planning and elaboration of a management plan because such a site has very sensitive parts that are subject to permanent destruction, so various state institutions are involved in its implementation. The development of tourism in such an area has its advantages, but also disadvantages, and it is necessary to find a balance, all for the purpose of sustainability of such a specific natural resource.
