J. Biskup. V. Vondra: SOCIOLOŠKA ANALIZA JAVNOG MIŠLJENJA ŽITELJA PRIOBALNOG ...
Here are some of the most significant research results:


The wealth status of the interviewed does not depend on the number of working
people in the family; salaries provide only modest living.
Landowners use their land for multiple purposes. They unwillingly give answers
concerning the revenues, or else quote very low figures.
With the cattle largely reduced in number in wartime, controlled cattle-
breeding should not endanger forests and reforestation.
There was a unanimous support of the preparation and enforcement of the reforestation
of the degradedforestlands. About 60% interviewed did not expect
any immediate benefits from reforestation. They evaluated the importance of
the reforestation in the following order of significance: (I) protection against
erosion, (2) better and healthier environment; (3) use to tourism; (4) logging;
and (5) improved scenery.
Negligence and war are the main causes of fire. All interviewed were ready to
participate in the actions of fire-brigades. The majority of native people would
allow that fire-lanes are cut across their land, free of charge; a smaller number
wood allow it with compensation.
A great number of interviewed people think that there is a need of shared decision
making in the case of reforestation. Landowners were the most interested.
More than half would participate in reforestation with compensation, i.e.
they would expect employment and indirect benefits.
The interviewed agree that the current economic situation does not allow
that either counties or the government finance the restoration of the devastated
land.
Complete results of the sociological studies show that the specific features of
this long Adriatic belt should be well considered, and the different interests of
the local population coincided.
If the Republic of Croatia is granted a credit from the World Bank, the money
would be spent efficiently only if the local population is made responsible for
the restoration and maintenance of the degraded areas. The results of the sociological
studies are preliminary research on the way to achieve the aim.
Key words: sociological analysis, public opinion, coastal population,
reforestation and protection
