Geoecological evaluation of Island Pašman relief

Geoekološko vrjednovanje reljefa otoka Pašmana s aspekta njegova turističkog vrjednovanja provedeno je na temelju prethodne geomorfološke analize reljefa otoka, a za potrebe određenih tipova turističkih aktivnosti (kupanje, sunčanje, šetnja, škraping), i to u smislu njegove fizičke pogodnosti, estetske vrijednosti i dostupnosti. Primijenjena je metoda relativnog vrjednovanja reljefa u okviru četiriju morfografskih kategorija: padine, vrhovi, dolinska dna i korita te obale. Prema toj metodi, kao glavni ograničavajući čimbenik turističke valorizacije pojedinih dijelova otoka Pašmana, javio se problem nedostupnosti, osobito na strmijoj jugozapadnoj strani otoka (udaljenost, nepostojanje ili manjak uređenih staza i pristaništa). U skladu s tim, dano je nekoliko prijedloga kao mogućih rješenja toga prisutnog problema (uređivanje staza, informiranje turista o mogućim individualnim ili grupnim šetnjama do pojedinog odredišta, organiziranje stručno vođenih izleta).The geoecological evaluation of the relief of Pašman Island from the standpoint of its touristic evaluation was conducted on the previously conducted geomorphologic analysis of the island relief. The evaluation was conducted for the needs of specific types of touristic activities (swimming, sunbathing, walking, "škraping") in the sense of its physical favourability, aesthetic value and accessibility. The method of relative relief evaluation was applied, whereby relief was evaluated within four morphographic categories: slopes, peaks, valley bottoms and beds and the coast. According to this method, as the principal restricting factor of tourist evaluation of certain parts of Pašman Island is the problem of inaccessibility, especially on the steeper south-west façade of the island (remoteness, inexistence or lack of arranged paths and wharfs). In accordance therewith, several proposals as possible solutions to the present problem were given (arrangement of paths, informing tourists on possible individual or group walks to certain destinations, organising trips with professional guides)
