Abstract
The paper presents results of the research of the selected elements of rurality on the example of the Croatian islands of Vis and Hvar, gathered in the Local action group (LAG) "Škoji" and possibilities of their (re)evaluation. The revitalization of rural areas is the fundamental task of local action groups, the associations which bring together representatives of public, private and civil sector of a specific area. Their main objective is to jointly design and implement a local development strategy, based on the specific developmental opportunities of the area which they live in. Rurality of the islands is analyzed through main demographic structures and trends, agricultural resources, land use and fisheries. The selected elements are analyzed as an incentives or limited developmental factors.
Highlights
Croatian rural areas are characterized by their heterogeneity which is a result of numerous and complex historical and contemporary factors in a specific area (Lukić, 2012)
Basic analytical units are administrative towns and municipalities within a Local action group (LAG), but in some analyses the data are summarized for the entire island or the LAG as a whole, in order to highlight the diversity of structures and development trends within the LAG
According to the analysis of the selected elements of rurality in cases of the islands of Hvar and Vis, the particularities of their characteristics have been observed in relation to the other heterogeneous rural areas in Croatia
