Published Scientific Paper on the Development of Tourism Spatial Planning in Kupari

A scientific paper titled “Spatiotemporal Evolution and the Impact of Changing Political–Economic Systems on Tourism Spatial Planning and Land Use: The Case of Kupari, Dubrovnik, Croatia” was published in the scientific journal Land (2026). The authors of the paper are Sanja Hajdinjak, PhD; Jasenka Kranjčević, PhD; and Božo Benić, a doctoral candidate at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Zagreb.

The development of tourism spatial planning in Croatia has a tradition spanning almost two centuries. The specificity of this paper lies in the authors’ analysis of the relationship between tourism spatial planning across different socio-political systems (monarchical capitalism, socialism, and modern capitalism) and the accompanying legal framework.
