Eco-museums as a phenomenon : conceptual planning of eco-museum Babina Greda

Eko-muzej nastaje kao odgovor na društvene promjene nakon Drugog svjetskog rata. Javlja se u okviru pokreta nova muzeologija, a u svom fokusu ima zajednicu koja ga pokreće, baštinu koja joj pripada i teritorij koji nema granicu. Kako se i gdje razvio, koje su mu karakteristike i kako ih primijeniti na živom primjeru u današnjim okolnostima, bit će izneseno u ovom radu. Također je velik dio rada posvećen temi interpretacije, discipline kojom se komunicira značenje baštine posjetitelju. Navedeni su svi mediji pomoću kojih se ona može odvijati, pravila pisanja tekstova i vizualnog oblikovanja sadržaja te prikladni materijali za određeni prostor. Što je sve potrebno kako bi se jedan eko-muzej stavio u pogon,kako prezentirati baštinu i osmisliti kvalitetan i poučan sadržaj, implementirati ga ne zadirući negativno u život lokalne zajednice, pokazat će se u idejnom planu eko-muzeja Babina Greda.The eco-museum was created in response to social changes after the Second World War. It emerged within the framework of the movement of the new museology, and it focuses on a community that drives it, a heritage belonging to it and a territory that has no boundaries. In this paper, I shall present how and where it developed, what are its characteristics and how to apply them to a living example in today's circumstances. A large section of the paper is also dedicated to the topic of interpretation, a discipline that communicates the meaning of heritage to the visitor. It includes a list of all the media that can be used for that purpose, the rules of writing texts and visually designing content, as well as the suitable materials for a given space. What is needed to set up an eco-museum, how to present heritage and devise a quality and educational content, and how to implement it without negatively affecting the lives of the local community, shall be illustrated with the example of the conceptual plan of the eco-museum Babina Greda
