Abstract

Procjene utjecaja zahvata na okoliš jedan su od ključnih instrumenata zaštite okoliša, a njihov cilj je maksimalno očuvanje kvalitete okoliša. U postupcima procjene ključnu ulogu ima uključivanje javnosti pri čemu građani djeluju kao važan izvor stručnosti te je njihovo sudjelovanje ključan faktor u donošenju kvalitetnih i legitimnih odluka za očuvanje okoliša. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je utvrđivanje oblika i praksi sudjelovanja javnosti u procjenama utjecaja zahvata na okoliš u Republici Hrvatskoj. Na konkretnom primjeru postupka procjene utjecaja vjetroelektrane Fužine na okoliš kao jednog od najpoznatijeg slučaja građanskog sudjelovanja u procjenama utjecaja na okoliš u Hrvatskoj, opisuju se oblici sudjelovanja inicirani od strane vlasti (konzultacije sa zainteresiranom javnošću) kao i oni inicirani od samih građana (peticija, internet stranica, referendum, obraćanje medijima, pisanje molbi tijelima javne vlasti). Analiza slučaja vjetroelektrane Fužine pokazuje kako su za kvalitetu postupka procjene utjecaja na okoliš jednako važna oba oblika sudjelovanja.

Abstract (english)

Environmental Impact Assessment is one among the key instruments of environmental policy, and its goal is to maximize the preservation of environmental quality. Public participation is crucial for the assessment procedures, with citizens acting as important source of expertise and their participation being a key factor for the insurance of quality and legitimate decisions. The aim of this master thesis is to determine the forms and practices of public participation in the EIA process in Croatia. Forms of participation are described through analysis of the EIA process focusing on wind farm Fužine as the one of the most well-known cases of civic participation in environmental impact assessments in Croatia. Forms of participation are divided into those initiated by the authorities (consultations with the interested public) and those initiated by citizens (petition, referendum, addressing the media, writing petitions to public authorities). The case study of the wind farm Fužine shows that for the quality of the EIA process both forms of participation are equally important.
