Člankom dajemo kritički prikaz Programa poticanja obnove
raseljenih i zapuštenih sela „Etno-eko“ Splitsko-dalmatinske
županije kojim se potiče obnova sela kao turističkog resursa.
Problematiziramo izradu prostorno-planske dokumentacije za
obnovu sela. Imajući u vidu da će snimak postojećeg stanja i
analiza naselja ostati trajni dokument o tradicijskoj gradnji koja
se novom namjenom transformira, dajemo upute o sadržaju i
mjerilu geodetskog snimka koji bi trebao biti podloga za izradu
arhitektonskog snimka svake građevine te navodimo elemente
koje treba sadržavati svaki konzervatorski elaborat sa smjernicama
za izradu prostornih planova. Osvrćemo se na vrstu i
sadržaj prostornih planova koje propisuje Zakon o prostornom
planiranju, a koje smatramo neadekvatnim za planiranje u ruralnom
prostoru.Changes to the traditional way of living and earning had two distinct effects onrural spaces and they way they appeared: either the complete abandonment of villages, or their transformation through which all traditional characteristics were lost. The only way to revive abandoned villages would be the return of their inhabitants along with economic stimulation which would motivate those inhabitants to live in them. This article gives a critical review of the "Ethno - Eco" economic Program of Split – Dalmatian County for the Promotion of the revival of the displaced and uncared for villages. The authors also talk about their own experiences regarding the preparation of foundations for making plans for the revival of rural cores, and reviewing the types and contents of special plans appointed by the Law on Spatial Planning, and which the authors consider to be inadequate. The “Ethno – Eco” Program encourages the renewal of rural cores which should become tourist destinations, and thus a source of income for the local population. Regardless the degree of legal protection, the Program prescribes the making of spatial planning documentation for the renewal of every valuable core, preceded by an elaborate preservation system with protective measures, which is an extremely valuable contribution to the protection and preservation of traditional construction. One of the protection measures of traditional architecture is documentation of the pre-existing conditions of the buildings which, through repurposing, will lose their original, inner spatial organization and function. Bearing in mind that a quality survey of the pre-existing conditions will be a permanent document about a traditional building which will be transformed for its new purpose, the authors gave instructions regarding the contents and findings of a geodetic survey which is the foundation for the preservation, and at the same time also the foundation for making an architectural survey of each building. Based on their experience in making preservation elaborates for the villages of Humac and Malo Grablje, the authors presented the elements which each preservation elaborate should contain so the protection measures and directions for making spatial plans could be established even for those settlements for which the preservation documentation is not done by the employees of the preservation departments. Through the cooperation in making spatial planning documentation, the authors noticed that the Urban Plan for Planning (UPU in Croatian) and the Detailed Plan for Planning (DPU in Croatian) are not applicable for planning rural cores. The character of the Urban Plan for Planning which makes the plans for separate zones different according to their purposes is not in accordance with the basic characteristic of the rural space in which residential and economic purpose are inseparable and mutually intertwined. Rural cores need more detailed plans which will establish the conditions of renovation of each building separately, as well as all of the elements of the settlement as a whole. In that sense, we might apply the Detailed Plan for Planning. However, the Detailed Plan for Planning, which is based on a defined land subdivision and which also sets the purpose of buildings, is not suitable for construction planning in the new zones, as well as in interpolations and reconstructions in the existing tissue of a village. The authors advocate defining of a special category of the spatial plan which would be adjusted to the space of the village, the plan which would be flexible enough for zoning and yet detailed in preparation of the special conditions for the renovation of the pre-existing construction funds and inherited spatial structure of the village. The preservation elaborate should be an integral part, and not the foundation, for making such a plan
