Abstract
U radu autori analiziraju geološke, geomorfološke, pedološke, klimatske, hidrološke i fitocenološke značajke otoka Korčule. Otok izgrađuju vapnenci i dolomiti kredne starosti, mjestimice prekriveni terra rossom i kvartarnim pijescima. Morfološki, reljef otoka Korčule obilježava izmjena uzvisina i polja te vrlo razvedena obala. Na otoku Korčuli nalazi se velik broj pedosustavnih jedinica (kalkokambisol, crvenica, koluvij, ocrveničena crnica, te rigolana tla polja i terasa). Otok obilježava Csa tip klime (mediteranska klima s blagim zimama te suhim i vrućim ljetima). Na otoku ne postoje površinski vodeni tokovi, a samo je jedan stalni izvor pitke vode malog kapaciteta. U vegetacijskom, odnosno bioklimatskom pogledu otok Korčula pripada mediteranskoj vegetacijskoj regiji. Na otoku se razlikuju dvije vegetacijske zone: stenomediteranska i eumediteranska. U otočnim uvjetima prirodni resursi su ograničeni, stoga njihova eksploatacija treba biti u skladu s održivim razvojem. U tom smislu predložene su smjernice budućeg razvoja otoka Korčule.
Highlights
Natural resources are the basis for the population existence and economic development of an area
Natural resources on islands are limited and their exploitation should be consistent with sustainable development, which presumes rational use, inventory and protection of the resources
Intensive exploitation of natural resources on the Island of Korčula started at the beginning of its colonization
Summary
UDK 911.3:330.15(497.5)(210.7Korčula) 911.3:330.34(497.5)(210.7Korčula) Stručni članak Professional paper. Their exploitation should be consistent with sustainable development. With respect to this fact, the guidelines for the future development of the Island of Korčula are proposed. Racionalno korištenje prirodnih resursa na otoku Korčuli (vode, tla, vegetacije, mineralnih sirovina) trebalo bi omogućiti bolji život, opstanak stanovništva i gospodarski razvoj otoka. Natural resources on islands are limited and their exploitation should be consistent with sustainable development, which presumes rational use, inventory and protection of the resources. Rational use of natural resources on the Island of Korčula (water, soil, vegetation, mineral resources) should provide existence and a better life for the inhabitants along with the economic development of the island. Any excessive exploitation of resources or pollution can cause permanent and irreparable damage to the island’s flora, fauna and people
