In the project that started on 1st September 2023, the Institute is participating as a project partner together with the company Urbanex d.o.o. from Zagreb, representing the area of Gorski Kotar in the project. The general goal of the project is to help European highland and mountain areas and communities increase their capacity to adapt to climate change and the transition towards a more climate-resilient society.

The project is being carried out in the area of ten significant mountain massifs of Europe and includes activities from the domain of scientific research in the sense of defining new concepts of adaptation, from the area of the real sector in the framework of finding new ways of doing business based on natural solutions and viable business models.

The project also deals with the preparation of a strategic and formal framework for adaptation to climate change, as well as the preparation of pre-investment studies for concrete interventions in areas affected ...

Accordingly, spatial planning and development functions within environmental protection, as well as adaptations to climate change, which in the context of the intensification of climate change, should be further improved.

All scientific research and predictions of future scenarios indicate that the observed rise in the sea level in recent decades will continue, therefore, it is expected that the importance of adaptation is increasingly recognised at all levels. However, the described phenomena and problems have been recognised as insufficiently researched and evaluated in the context of long-term spatial planning, and an analysis and instructional web browser were created that are presented today as some of the measures that are used to contribute to the strengthening of our the County’s resistance to climate change.

The Institute for Physical Planning of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Rijeka have been successfu...
