Abstract

Osnovni cilj ovog rada je istražiti suvremene sociogeografske preobrazbe općine Bol, smještene na južnoj strani otoka Brača, s naglaskom na ključne gospodarske i demografske promjene koje su oblikovale ovo područje u posljednjim desetljećima. Posebna pažnja posvećena je turizmu kao primarnom gospodarskom sektoru te njegovom utjecaju na prostorni razvoj i društvene dinamike. Rad obuhvaća detaljnu analizu prirodno-geografskih obilježja, uključujući klimatske, geološke, hidrografske i reljefne karakteristike, te njihov utjecaj na svakodnevni život i gospodarske aktivnosti. Provedena je demogeografska analiza s naglaskom na kretanje stanovništva, migracije i promjene u dobnoj strukturi, uz poseban osvrt na starenje populacije i izazove povezane s održivošću zajednice. Rad također uključuje pregled povijesnog razvoja naselja Bol i Murvica te njihovu povezanost s ostatkom otoka i kopna. Analizirani su prostorno-planski i razvojni dokumenti općine Bol za razdoblje 2021.-2027. s ciljem identificiranja budućih razvojnih smjerova. Rezultati istraživanja pružaju uvid u trenutačne sociogeografske preobrazbe i stavljaju naglasak na potrebu za diversifikacijom gospodarstva i očuvanje prirodnih resursa.

Abstract (english)

The primary goal of this thesis is to explore the contemporary socio-geographical transformations of the Bol municipality, located on the southern side of the island of Brač, with a focus on key economic and demographic changes that have shaped the area in recent decades. Special attention is given to tourism as the primary economic sector and its impact on spatial development and social dynamics. The thesis includes a detailed analysis of the natural-geographical features, including climatic, geological, hydrographic, and relief characteristics, and their influence on everyday life and economic activities. A demographic analysis is conducted, focusing on population movements, migrations, and changes in the age structure, with particular emphasis on population aging and sustainability challenges. The study also reviews the historical development of the settlements of Bol and Murvica and their connections to the rest of the island and the mainland. Spatial planning and development documents of the Bol municipality for the period 2021-2027 have been analyzed to identify future development directions. The research results provide insight into current socio-geographical transformations and emphasize the need for economic diversification and the preservation of natural resources.
