Soline − Sv. Petar bay (the island of Krk)
Tijekom prosinca 2006. godine započeta su sustavna rekognosciranja prostora zaljeva Soline - Čižići (sjeverozapadna obala otoka Krka, općina Dobrinj, Primorsko − goranska županija).By surveying the area of the lagoon Sv. Petar in December 2006, we discovered an extreme concentration of ceramic fragments from the Antiquity on the coastal area of the lagoon, as well as in its immediate shallow offshore area. We are speaking of a rather considerable presence of Roman Age architectural ceramics: fragments of tegulae, imbrices, spicae and tubulae. Apart from this material, a rather large number of amphora fragments was also noticed. Ceramics for domestic usage were recorded by merely a couple of fragments. Especially characteristic for this Antique site are the finds of a considerable number of burnt ceramics, as well as a myriad of amorphous forms and fragments of a chamotte lining. In the shoals of the bay Sv. Petar, parts of harbour facilities, possibly Antique, were also noticed. The finds mentioned as well as the previously discovered tegulae with stamps by Sextus Metilius Maximus from the Soline bay demonstrate that the owner of this figlina in Crikvenica (site Crikvenica “Igralište”) had probably also held a ceramics workshop in the area of the lagoon Sv. Petar

Sustainable Urbanisation in Europe. Finding opportunities to promote sustainable urbanisation in my region
Since 2000, approximately 250 football fields of land (180 ha) have been converted to urban use in Europe every day. This development far outstrips population growth; urbanisation occurs even in shrinking regions. In Europe, the conversion of land to urban use is the outcome of conscious decisions.
The purpose of this policy brief is to provide cities, regions and countries with a methodological approach to make the current urbanisation practices more efficient and sustainable, and thereby to support the implementation of the European Green Deal, the Territorial Agenda 2030 and the New Leipzig Charter. The application of this approach is demonstrated by two cases, one in Croatia and one in Lithuania. Following the March 2020 earthquake near Zagreb, the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets of the Republic of Croatia requested recommendations on how to link the reconstruction processes in the three affected regions to sustainable land use. The Ministry of Environment of Lithuania requested support for the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan of the Territory of the Republic of Lithuania. The problems encountered by Croatia and Lithuania are similar to those in other European Member States. Many Mediterranean areas are earthquake prone, and urban development in shrinking areas is far from unique in Europe. Moreover, the approach to analysing the situation and finding potential solutions that this policy brief describes is therefore applicable to many other European regions as well
