Abstract
Temelj za izradu ovog završnog rada je istraživanje mišljenja lovaca iz dvije lovačke
udruge iz Bosne i Hercegovine u vezi prisustva smeđeg medvjeda (Ursus arctos L.) u lovištu.
Istraživanje je provedeno putem pisanog anketnog istraživanja na uzorku od 200 lovaca iz
lovačkih udruga “Tetrijeb” Teslić, Republika Srpska, BiH te “Tetrijeb” Glamoč, Federacija
Bosne i Hercegovine, BiH. Također istraživanje je sprovedeno i putem online Google obrazca na
uzorku od 41 ispitanika – lovca iz Bosne i Hercegovine. Ispitanici u apsolutnoj većini
podržavaju prisustvo medvjeda u Bosni i Hercegovini. Na osnovu ovog istraživanja možemo
pretpostaviti da je glavni krivac za povećanu nepoželjnost medvjeda u lovištu neadekvatna
reakcija države po pitanju šteta koje medvjed počini kao i veoma dugi i komplicirani postupci
dokazivanja i nadoknada same štete. Ispitanici su svjesni ekonomske iskoristivosti medvjeda kroz
lovni turizam i lov za domaće lovce. Lovci ispitani u ovom istraživanju žele medvjeda u Bosni i
Hercegovini, generalno ga se ne plaše i voljeli bi ga loviti. Također određena skupina njih je
protiv medvjeda u svom lovištu. Svjesni su zakonskih nedostataka i nisu se ustručavali davati
svoje prijedloge i rješenja problema.The basis of this final work is the research into the opinion of hunters from two hunting
associations from Bosnia and Herzegovina on the issue of the presence of the brown bear (Ursus
arctos L) in the hunting area. The research was conducted through a written survey research on a
sample of 200 hunters from hunting associations "Tetrijeb", Teslic, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia
and Herzegovina and "Tetrijeb" Glamoc, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH. Research
was also conducted through online Google form on the sample of 41 interviewees - hunters from
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Respondents in the absolute majority support the presence of bears in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Based on this research, we can assume that the main culprit for increased
undesirability of bears in hunting grounds is the inadequate reaction of the country in terms of
damage caused by bears and a very long and complicated procedures for evidence and
reimbursement of damages alone. Respondents were aware of the economic utilization of bears
through hunting tourism and hunting for local hunters. Hunters questioned in this research want
bears in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in general they are not afraid of them, and would love to hunt
them. Also certain group of them is against the bears in their hunting ground. They are aware of
legal shortcomings and did not hesitate to give their suggestions and solutions to this problem
