Abstract

Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is a dynamic and iterative process with the aim of ensuring the “sustainable development” of coastal areas. Like many other maritime countries, Croatia has recognised its coastal zone as a valuable and specific region requiring special attention. The coastal area is an interface or transition zone where diverse economic activities interact and intensive environmental pressures exist. To deal with these economic and environmental conflicts, numerous instruments, including tools and methods, are available. Given that the multi-sector dimension of ICZM is the most important feature, this particular approach requires a suitable institutional and legal framework, as well as appropriate governance skills. A key goal of this chapter is to analyse policies for the integration of ICZM into Croatian development planning. Special attention is given in particular to spatial and regional policies, physical plans for protected areas such as national and natural parks, and island development policy. An evaluation of the state and progress of ICZM is also given using two different models.
