Abstract

IN ENGLISH: Islands in Croatia are mainly mass-tourism-oriented and traditional island activities are rather neglected (Podgorelec & Klempić-Bogadi, 2013; Radinović et al., 2004; Stiperski et al., 2001). Islands are also examples of very ‘fragile habitats and communities’ (Baldacchino, 2013). They have a large number of small peripheral places often dislocated and isolated and are also faced with a number of social, economic and demographic problems that put them in an unequal and unbalanced position, like those on the Adriatic coast. The purpose of this research was to explore environmental dimension of sustainability on the island of Brač. Semi- structured interviews (14) with women in selected settlements (Povlja, Selca, Postira, Pučišća and Supetar) were conducted, as well as the analysis of secondary documentation. The environmental dimension of sustainability has proven to be developed in terms of the existence of untouched natural capacities, but it needs more systematic care due to the risk of pollution, as well as greater development of potential in agritourism. The research is a contribution to the analysis of sustainable development on the Adriatic islands. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Otoci u Hrvatskoj uglavnom su orijentirani na masovni turizam dok su tradicionalne otočke aktivnosti zanemarene (Podgorelec & Klempić-Bogadi, 2013; Radinović i sur., 2004; Stiperski i sur., 2001). Oni su također primjeri vrlo 'krhkih staništa i zajednica' (Baldacchino, 2013.). Imaju velik broj malih perifernih mjesta, često dislociranih i izoliranih te su također suočeni s nizom društvenih, gospodarskih i demografskih problema koji ih stavljaju u stanje neravnopravnog i neuravnoteženo položaja, poput onih na jadranskoj obali. Svrha ovoga rada je istraživanje ekološke dimenzije održivosti na otoku Braču. Pritom su obavljeni polustrukturirani intervjui (14) sa ženama u odabranim naseljima (Povlja, Selca, Postira, Pučišća i Supetar) te analiza sekundarne dokumentacije. Ekološka dimenzija održivosti pokazala se razvijenom u smislu postojanje netaknutih prirodnih kapaciteta, ali zahtijeva sustavniji obzir i održavanje zbog opasnosti od zagađenja, kao što je potreban i veći razvoj potencijala u agroturizmu. Istraživanje je prilog analizi održivog razvoja na jadranskim otocima.
