Conferences and Exibitions138KiG 2009, 12From September 10 to 12, the De-partment of Geography of the University of Zadar and the Croatian Geographical Society – Zadar organized a scientific conference as a part of the Department's 15th anniversary celebration. Another important anniversary  20 years of the Croatian Geographic Society  Zadar was also celebrated at the conference named The Adriatic – Contemporary Geographic Issues. About 50 Croatian and foreign geographers, as well as other scientists concerned with spatial issues participated in the conference. During the two-day program, a variety of interesting subjects were presented and discussed, mostly related to issues related to the broader Adriatic area.Submerged Karst in the Development of Croatian Adriatic Regions presented by Prof. Magaš. This presentation was an ideal general introduction into subsequent issues of the Croatian Adriatic area. The development of Croatian Adriatic regions is significantly related to the karst environment, which is one of their most noticeable features. Littoral, insular and underwater geomorphologic features in the Dinaric karst have influenced and even predisposed the basic features of the Croatian Adriatic area. 'In the modern and future development, this delicate karst complex will have first-rate signifi-cance', said Prof. Magaš.Following presentations covered a variety of subjects, from an overview of recon-structions of changes in sea levels on the east-ern coast of the Adriatic Sea (M. Surić) and dev-astating fires in Croatian littoral zones (M. Mamut and Ž. Šiljković) to sub-jects related to narrower areas such as the one in which the authors presented the geoeco-logical exploration of the Vela spila cave on the Island of Korčula (N. Buzjak, S. Buzjak, M. Vrbek), as well as the one presented by N. Lončar, who presented a detailed analysis of area and environmental conditions on the Island of Murter. The second day of the conference also started with presentations by geographers from Zadar's Department of Geography. J. Faričić, V. Graovac and A. Čuka analyzed small Croatian islands as zones with a working-residential function, as well as zones for vacation and recreation. L. Mirošević and B. Vukosav presented the results of spatial identities research conducted on the Island of Pag and the Velebit littoral. Another interesting presen-tation was held by Slovenian geographers from the University of Koper S. Kerma, M. Koderman and S. Salmič about the spatial distribution of Slovenian tourists on the Croatian coast. The presenta-tion of the physiognomy implications of weekenders and weekend cottages by V. T. Opačić was also very interesting. The following two subjects were related to cartographic issues. Cartography of Selce (R. Lončarić, M. Lapaine) was the name of the presentation of a detailed analysis of cartographic materials related to Selce near Crikvenica, with slides of historical and old maps of the mentioned settlement, as well as new ones, from various sources. The second subject related to cartography was Böttner's inventory of the Grimani Collection from the State Archive in Zadar (L. Mirošević, M. Lapaine). The authors made an effort to thoroughly explore and research the historical cartographic materials repre-senting cadastre and cadastral plans from the period of Venetian administration.On Saturday, the last day of the conference, the participants had an opportunity to take a field trip to the Kornati National Park and enjoy natural beauty in the Kornati Archipelago, with expert guidance by their hosts from the University of Zadar. Two locations on the Island of Kornat were visited – the Gospa od Tarca chapel and the remains of the Tureta Byzantine fortress. Upon arriving in the vicinity of the mentioned chapel, J. Faričić held a presentation on the Archipelago features, after which all the participants climbed to the Tureta fortress. This particular fortress originates from the Byzantine times and was prob-ably built in the 8th century. The field trip continued with sailing to the Piškera islet, where all participants enjoyed lunch in the restaurant of the local ACI marina. After the lunch, V. Skračić held a presentation on historical times and traditional cus-toms on the islands, as well as on the onomastic features of the Archipelago. Some participants took advantage of the relatively nice weather and took a short swim in the sea before returning to Zadar.The conference organized as a part of the Department of Geography of the University of Zadar's 15th anniversary celebration and the 20th anniversary of the Croatian Geographic Society – Zadar was very successful. It provided the participants with an opportunity to exchange scientific information on the Adriatic. It also served as a starting point of organizing similar conferences at the Department of Geography in Zadar.Branimir VukosavThe Adriatic – Contemporary Geographic IssuesZadar, September 10-12, 2009Besides the hosts, a number of repu-table individuals dedicated to geography and related sciences, such as Dragutin Feletar, PhD, as well as academician Andrija Bognar were present at the fes-tive introductory part of the conference. Among the speakers, the Rector Ante Uglešić, PhD, addressed the assembly on behalf of the University of Zadar. He congratulated the Department of Geogra-phy, as well as the Croatian Geographic Society on their anniversaries. On behalf of the Department of Geography and the Croatian Geographic Society  Za-dar, the head of the Department, Josip Faričić, PhD and the president of the Croatian Geographic Society – Zadar, Damir Magaš, PhD also welcomed the participants.Interesting presentations during the first day of the conference started off with the subject Littoral, Insular and Skupovi i izložbe139KiG 2009, 12Od 10. do 12. rujna 2009. Odjel za geografiju Sveučilišta u Zadru i Hrvatsko geografsko društvo – Zadar (HGD-Zadar) organizirali su u Zadru prigodno znan-stveno savjetovanje u sklopu proslave petnaeste obljetnice osnutka Odjela. Sa-vjetovanjem pod nazivom Jadran – suvre-mena geografska problematika ujedno je obilježeno i 20 godina postojanja HGD-a Zadar, a skup je u Multimedijskoj dvorani Sveučilišta u Zadru okupio pedesetak domaćih i stranih geografa te drugih znanstvenika koji se bave prostornom problematikom. Tijekom dvodnevnoga programa izložen je niz zanimljivih pre-davanja tematski vezanih uglavnom za širi jadranski prostor.Uz domaćine, svečanom pozdrav-nom dijelu savjetovanja nazočile su mnoge osobe koje su svoj životni vijek posvetile geografiji i srodnim znanostima, poput prof. dr. sc. Dragutina Feletara i akademika Andrije Bognara, koji su se tom prigodom prisjetili početaka rada Odsjeka za geografiju pri tadašnjem Filozofskom fakultetu u Zadru. U ime uprave Sveučilišta u Zadru sudionicima skupa obratio se pozdravnim govorom rektor Sveučilišta u prof. dr. sc. Ante Uglešić čestitavši Odjelu za geografiju i HGD-u Zadar svečane obljetnice. Riječi dobrodošlice uputili su i aktualni pročelnik Odjela doc. dr. sc. Josip Faričić, te aktu-alni predsjednik HGD-a Zadar, osnivač Odjela za geografiju i njegov dugogodišnji pročelnik prof. dr. sc. Damir Magaš.Niz zanimljivih izlaganja tijekom prvoga dana savjetovanja započeo je upravo predavanjem prof. Magaša na temu Obalni, otočni i podmorski krš u razvoju hrvatskih jadranskih regija, koje je ujedno poslužilo i kao izvrstan opći uvod u problematiku hrvatskoga jadranskog prostora.Razvoj hrvatskih jadranskih regija u znatnoj je mjeri u uzročno-posljedičnoj vezi s krškom osnovom kao jednim od najznačajnijih njihovih obilježja. Obalna, otočna i podmorska geomorfološka obi-lježja u kršu Dinarida predodredila su ili su barem bitno utjecala na osnovna obilježja hrvatskoga jadranskog prostora tijekom povijesti. U suvremenom i budućem razvoju složen i osjetljiv krški kompleks također ima prvorazredno značenje, istaknuo je prof. Magaš.Uslijedila su predavanja ostalih sudio-nika koja su pokrila širok raspon tema, od pregleda rekonstrukcije promjena morske razine na istočnoj obali Jadrana (M. Surić) i izlaganja o požarima u hrvatskom prio-balju (M. Mamut i Ž. Šiljković), do radova koji su se orijentirali na neki uži prostor, poput onoga o geoekološkom istraživanju Vele spile na otoku Korčuli (N. Buzjak, S. Buzjak, M. Vrbek), izlaganja N. Lončar o analizi prostora i stanja okoliša otoka Murtera. Drugi dan savjetovanja započeo je također izlaganjem zadarskih geografa J. Faričića te V. Graovac i A. Čuke o malim hrvatskim otocima kao radno-re-zidencijalnom prostoru i prostoru odmora i rekreacije, te predstavljanjem rezultata istraživanja o prostornim identitetima oto-ka Paga i južnoga podvelebitskog primor-ja (L. Mirošević i B. Vukosav). Zanimljivo je bilo i predavanje slovenskih geografa s Univerze na primorskem, S. Kerme, M. Kodermana i S. Salmič o prostornom rasporedu slovenskih turista u hrvatskom primorju, kao i izlaganje o fizionomskim implikacijama vikendaštva (V. T. Opa-čić). Uslijedile su dvije teme vezane uz kartografsku problematiku. Kartografija Selca (R. Lončarić, M. Lapaine) bio je Subota je, kao posljednji dan odr-žavanja savjetovanja, bila u znaku te-renskog obilaska Nacionalnoga parka Kornati. Sudionici skupa bili su u prigodi uživati u prirodnim ljepotama kornatskog arhipelaga, uz stručno vodstvo njihovih domaćina sa zadarskog Sveučilišta na nekoliko različitih lokacija. Posjećen je otok Kornat, gdje su sudionici posjetili crkvicu Gospe od Tarca i ostatke bizant-ske utvrde Tureta. U blizini lokaliteta spo-menute crkvice, izlaganje o značajkama kornatskog otočja nazočnima je izložio J. Faričić, a potom je uslijedio i uspon do utvrde. Tureta je utvrda iz bizantskoga doba, koja najvjerojatnije potječe iz 8. stoljeća. Izlet je nastavljen plovidbom do otočića Piškere, gdje je u restoranu tamošnje ACI marine upriličen prigodni ručak za sve sudionike izleta. Nakon ručka, o povijesnom razdoblju i običaji-ma na otocima te nekim onomastičkim obilježjima kornatskog arhipelaga govorio je prof. dr. sc. Vladimir Skračić. Neki od sudionika iskoristili su priliku i razmjerno lijepo ranojesensko vrijeme za kratko kupanje u moru prije povratka u Zadar.Savjetovanje upriličeno prigodom proslave 15. obljetnice osnutka Odjela za geografiju pri Sveučilištu u Zadru te 20 godina postojanja HGD-a Zadar pokazalo se vrlo uspješnim, pruživši sudionicima priliku za razmjenu znanstvenih spoznaja o jadranskom prostoru, a pružilo je i te-melj za organizaciju daljnjih savjetovanja sličnoga tipa na zadarskom Odjelu za geografiju.Branimir VukosavJadran – suvremena geografska problematikaZadar, 10–12. rujna 2009.naziv predavanja kojim su autori detaljno obradili kartografsku građu vezanu uz Selce nedaleko od Crikvenice, uz pred-stavljanje starih, ali i novijih kartografskih prikaza toga naselja iz različitih izvora. Druga tema vezana uz kartografiju bila je Böttnerov inventar zbirke Mape Grimani iz Državnog arhiva u Zadru (L. Mirošević, M. Lapaine), gdje su se autori potrudili iscrpno istražiti i proučiti povijesni karto-grafski materijal koji predstavlja katastar s pripadajućim katastarskim planovima iz razdoblja mletačke uprave.
