Abstract

Dubrovnik was named after the groves of holm oak, or dubrava in Croatian. The people of Dubrovnik have always loved their city, and they have always showed it in many different ways. The love and the devotion of the people of Dubrovnik to their city were the motive for the foundation of an association. They would regularly be engaged in improving the appearance of the city and its suburbs. They would look after the public parks, walks and roads. This was necessary for the very inhabitants of Dubrovnik, but even more for the tourists who became more numerous. Therefore, this paper is dedicated to the beginnings of such associations, and DUB is their successor. DUB has had an enormous importance for the tourism, the city of Dubrovnik and the inhabitants of Dubrovnik in the last hundred years. Its importance is not diminished by the fact that this association was not in function from the beginning if the Second World War to the 1980`s of the 20th century. With its reopening in 1984, the care for the City and its beauty became priority again. Among today’s members of DUB, there are many young people, who are true guardians of Dubrovnik and its values. Today’s City management has recognized its work, which can only stimulate their work to benefit Dubrovnik and its people.
