Geomorphological characteristics and geo-ecological evaluation of municipality Dugi Rat relief

Općina Dugi Rat površinom je relativno manja općina u Splitsko-dalmatinskoj županiji, 20 km jugoistočno od Splita. Smještena je na južnim padinama istočnog dijela hrpta koji se proteže od rijeke Žrnovnice na zapadu, do rijeke Cetine na istoku. U ovom radu analizirane su geomorfološke značajke reljefa općine Dugi Rat. Specifičnosti socio-ekonomskog razvoja, transformacija prostora posljednjih pola stoljeća, ali i planiranje budućeg razvoja nalažu detaljni plan i analizu opterećenosti i mogućnosti daljnjeg razvoja, s obzirom na obilježja prirodne osnove, te je provedeno geoekološko vrednovanje reljefa općine Dugi Rat za potrebe kupališnog turizma, zaštite fliških padina, te vapnenačkog hrpta za potrebe turizma.Municipality of Dugi Rat is a relatively small municipality in Split-Dalmatia County, 20 km southeast from Split. It is located on the southern side of the eastern part of a cliff stretching from the river Ţrnovnica on the west, to river Cetina on the east. This thesis analyses the geomorphologic features of relief of municipality of Dugi Rat. Specificities of socio-economical development and environment transformation in last half of the century, but also the planning of the future development, urge the creation of a detailed plan and the analysis of tax and of further development possibilities, according to the natural basis features, so geoecological evaluation of relief of Dugi Rat Municipality has to be carried out, for the needs of beach tourism, flysch slope protection, and limestones cliff for the needs of tourism
