Abstract

Etnobotanika je multidisciplinarno područje etnobiologije koje primarno objedinjuje antropološke i biološke istraživačke metode dajući uvid u odnos između ljudi i biljaka koje ih okružuju. Etnobotanika obuhvaća znanje o načinu, svrsi i porijeklu upotrebe domestificiranih i divljih biljnih vrsta koje se koriste od strane određene zajednice. Nadalje, etnobotanika ima za zadatak biljku opisati u kulturološkom smislu zajednice u kojoj se koristi, u svrhu boljeg razumijevanja načina na koji zajednica percipira određene biljne vrste. U ovom radu opisana su dva etnobotanička istraživanja, jedno na sjeveroistoku Istre, a drugo na području središnje Istre. Oba istraživanja temeljena su na sličnim metodama, te se mogu pronaći mnoge sličnosti, ali i razlike u upotrebi bilja ispitivanih zajednica na ova dva područja poluotoka. Iako svako područje ima svoje karakteristične biljne vrste, u konačnici vidimo rezultat geografskog položaja poluotoka na flori, čineći je mozaikom mediteranskih i kontinentalnih biljaka. Ova, kao i mnoga druga etnobotanička istraživanja, ukazuju na važnost i ljepotu tradicije i na njenu dugu i kvalitetnu povijest koja se i danas neizbježno isprepliće našim životima.

Abstract (english)

Ethnobotany is a multidisciplinary field in ethnobiology, which primarily brings together anthropological and biological research methods, providing insight into the relationship between people and plants that surround them. Ethnobotany includes the knowledge of mode, purpose and origin of usage of domesticated and wild plants used in a certain community. Moreover, ethnobotany has a task to describe a plant in a cultural sense of a community in which is used, with a purpose of better understanding how this community percieves certain plant species. In this work, two ethnobotanical researches are described, one in the north-east Istria and the other in the central Istria. Both of them are based on similar methods and we can find many resemblances, but also differences between the surveyed communities on the peninsula. Even though each area has its own charachteristical plant species, ultimately we see the result of the geografical position of the peninsula on flora, a mixture of mediterranean and continental plants. Among many other, this ethnobotanical research shows the importance and beauty of tradition as well as its long history, which inevitably intertwines with our lives even today.
