Svrha bioekonomije je razviti gospodarstva s „niskom razinom emisija u cilju razvoja primarnog sektora (poljoprivreda, ribarstvo, šumarstvo), sigurne i dostatne opskrbe hranom, potičući primjenu biomase u industriji, štiteći bioraznolikost i okoliš“ (Europska komisija, 2012.). Transformacija klasičnoga linearnog modela ekonomije u bioekonomiju zahvaća prijelaz s uporabe fosilnih izvora na bioobnovljive, kao i prijelaz s linearnog na kružno gospodarstvo. Ključnu ulogu za razvoj bioekonomije uz poduzetnike, vlast/politiku, znanstvene institucije, međunarodnu suradnju ima i formalno, neformalno i informalno obrazovanje svakog pojedinca involviranog u ovo područje gospodarstva. Primarni cilj ovoga rada je istaknuti ulogu geografskog obrazovanja u razvoju kružnoga gospodarstva (bioekonomije) kojemu teži Republika Hrvatska preko razvojnog smjera 3 „Zelena i digitalna tranzicija“ (Nac...

Prikazane su specifi čnosti i prednosti tih aktivnosti i njihov pozitivan utjecaj na učenike. Provedeno je istraživanje u 65 škola središnje Hrvatske kojim je obuhvaćeno 1411 učenika prva četiri razreda osnovne škole. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je uvidjeti u kojim sve aktivnosti izvan nastave i škole sudjeluju učenici. Istražili smo koliko na sudjelovanje djece u izvannastavnim i izvanškolskim aktivnostima utječe njihova dob i spol. Rezultati koje smo dobili kazuju sljedeće: u aktivnostima više sudjeluju djevojčice (svaka djevojčica sudjeluje na 1, 214 aktivnosti), dok dječaci manje sudjeluju u izvannastavnim aktivnostima (svaki dječak sudjeluje u 1,072 aktivnosti). U odnosu na dječake u svim aktivnostima (osim sportskim) djevojčice sudjeluju u većem broju. Broj aktivnosti bitno se ne razlikuje s obzirom na dob, iako su kod djevojčica uočene razlike. Tako dječaci sve četiri godine najviše sud...

The obtained results indicate that the islands' population uses these services mostly for shopping purposes, medical care and less for the work or school. The highest frequency of the ferry and shipping lines is early in the morning (5-6 a.m.) for departure, and early in the afternoon (1-3 p.m.) for return. However, the available traffic connections are not strong enough to integrate the urban core on the coast with the islands, particularly with remote islands of the Zadar islands group, into unique economic entity. Insufficient number of well equipped shops, badly organized medical care, non existence of important institutions on the islands influenced a stronger depopulation. That is why the aim of the research is to show that modernisation of the ferry boat lines would positively influence on economic a...

Posebno je to izraženo na pitanju uklanjanja otpada, koji ne samo da nije primjereno riješen na razini prigradskih općina, već ni na razini grada. Članak analizira stanje komunalnog otpada, njegovo uklanjanje, te posljedice koje se uslijed neprimjerenog odlaganja odražavaju na životnoj sredini.Intensive building of residential capacities in the periurban zone of Zagreb, i.e. in towns of Samobor, Sesvete, Velika Gorica and Zaprešić, which started in 1970-ies, has not been accompanied by creation of an adequate municipal infrastructure. Particular problem burdering not only the periurban zone, but also the city of Zagreb itself, represents the removal and disposal of municipal waste. The actual status of municipal waste management and adverse consequences arising f...

Ostvareni rezultati na ispitima vanjskoga vrednovanja komparirani su kroz dvodimenzionalnu matricu: osnovna škola-srednja škola, 2008.-1988. Na kraju primarnog obrazovanja prosječna razina učeničkih postignuća o geografskom položaju i smještaju, prirodnogeografskim i društvenogeografskim obilježjima Republike Hrvatske jest 49,1%, a na kraju sekundarnog obrazovanja 47,9%. Ostvarena razina postignuća niža za 1,2 postotna poena na kraju sekundarnog obrazovanja nije statistički značajna, no s obzirom na selektirani uzorak i očekivani kumulativni učinak učenja i poučavanja rezultat je prenizak. U radu se analiziraju rezultati za sadržajno potpuno usporedive ispitne čestice i potvrđuje spoznaja da nema kumulativnog učinka ni napretka u razini postignuća primjenom novoga nastavnog programa. Također se iznose rezultati istraživanja stavova učenika o geografiji kao nastavnom predmetu u osnovnoj školi provedenih 1988., 2003. i 2008. Ključne riječi: državna matura, geografija Hrvatske, vanjsko vrednovanje, postignuća učenika Pupils' Achievements in the Geography of Croatia at External Evaluation Exams and their Perceptions of Geography as a Subject in Elementary School The paper analyses the achievements in the Geography of Croatia among 8th Grade Elementary School pupils, and the final grades at comprehensive schools and four-year vocational schools. The results of the external evaluation exams were compared through the two dimensional matrix: elementary school-secondary school, 2008-1988. At the end of primary education, the average level of pupils' achievements on the geographical position, natural-geographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the Republic of Croatia was 49.1% and 47.9% at the end of the Secondary education. The realized level of achievements that was by 1.2% lower at the end of the Secondary education is not statistically significant but, in relation to the selected sample and the expected cumulative impact of learning and teaching, the result is too low. The paper analyses results for the comprehensive completely comparable test items and confirms the notion that there is no cumulative effect, and that no progress in the level of achievements is made by using the new teaching curriculum. The paper also presents the result of researches conducted in 1988, 2003 and 2008 on pupils' opinions on Geography as a subject in Elementary school.

It analyses the dangerous of fires in the country as a whole and particularly in its two antithetically endangered territories: continental zone and coastal-insular Mediterranean area. The article distinguishes fire mostly jeopardized and fire devastated areas and the most endangered forest communities.

In all parts of Croatia natural geographic conditions, namely climatic, pedological and hydrogeographical conditions are suitable for organic production of medicinal plants. In this work the authors give the most relevant information on chamomile (Matricaria chamomile) and lavender (Lavandula anustifolia) production. These two plants had the biggest share in medicinal plants production before war in the 1990s. Until then Croatia was one of the leading producers of chamomile and lavender in the world. The article deals with the current situation of collecting and producing medicinal plants in Croatia and the opportunities that economic activity can offer. The main goal is to determine natural geographic conditions which influence organic medicinal plants production that contribute to the revitalization of rural areas and slow down deagrarization and deruralization ...

It covers all 56 settlements that are grouped according to the criteria of distance from the central urban settlement and the altitude at which they are located. Eight spatial regions of various sizes and characteristics are identified accordingly. Economic, socio-cultural, infrastructural and demographic criteria are included in further analysis. Economic and social structure of individual settlements is also established. Considering that the second half of the twentieth century was the period of industrial development and urbanisation, and thereby intensive processes of depopulation and deagrarisation of rural areas, the authors believe that it was during this period that the transformation was most intense.

The weather is exceptionally conducive to fires, so the main period of fire occurrences is between June and October, characterized by long lasting dry and warm weather with temperatures over 30°C. Research carried out by the authors in 1997 and 2012 have pointed to the fact that human impact is the main cause of ignition. This paper presents an overview of the total number of fires in the period from 1998 to 2012, with the emphasis on forest and woodland fires in the Croatian region of Dalmatia. Data on the situation in Dalmatia refer to the situation in the areas of responsibility of four Dalmatian Police Administrations. Analysis is based on official data of the Croatian Ministry of the Interior and the report of the National councillor for managing and controlling forest fires. The authors have analysed the frequency of forest fires in Dalmatia in a period of fourteen years (199...

If compared to other European countries Croatia is one of the richest regarding groundwater and total renewable reserves. In spite of that, water management systems have been built only on approximately 0.5 per cent of the total arable land. As Croatia has been affected by more frequent and longer droughts in the last decade, the scarcity of irrigated areas has become one of the vital issues in Croatian agriculture. On the other hand predominance of inefficientirrigationtechniques, lack or no maintenance of irrigation systems coupled with the absence of adequate government involvement can result in groundwater pollution.
