Abstract

U radu se analizira tijek i akteri postupka procjene utjecaja zahvata na okoliš (PUO) kao ključnog instrumenta okolišne politike u Hrvatskoj. U opisu mehanizma kojim se odvija postupak PUO naglasak je stavljen na ulogu organizacija civilnog društva pa istraživačko pitanje rada glasi: kako se u Hrvatskoj odvija proces procjene utjecaja zahvata na okoliš u kontekstu sudjelovanja organizacija civilnog društva u postupku? Sam postupak PUO i uloga organizacija civilnog društva analizirani su putem istraživačkog dizajna studije slučaja, tj. analize procesa (process tracing) na specifičnom slučaju vjetroelektrane Rust. Prikupljeni dokumenti i transkripti provedenih intervjua analizirani su uz primjenu metode tematske analize, a kodiranje provedeno u NVivo programu za kvalitativnu analizu podataka. U analiziranom slučaju pronađene su sve važne faze PUO procesa identificirane postojećom literaturom i vlastitim analitičkim okvirom, a sudjelovanje organizacija civilnog društva zabilježena je u većini koraka. Istraživanje zaključuje kako bi OCD-i u Hrvatskoj mogli imati još veću ulogu u postupcima PUO ukoliko bi im se povećali kapaciteti i ukoliko bi se odlučile na korištenje većeg broja alata participacije.

Abstract (english)

This master these analyses process and actors of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as a key instrument of environmental policy in Croatia. Description of the mechanism through which the EIA process takes place the thesis focuses on the role played by civil society organizations, so the research question is: how does the EIA unfold in Croatia in the context of the participation of civil society organizations in the process? The EIA mechanism and the role of civil society organizations are analyzed through a case study (process tracing) of a specific case of "Rust Wind Farm". The collected documents and transcripts of the conducted interviews are analyzed using the method of thematic analysis, and the coding was performed in the NVivo program for qualitative data analysis. In the analyzed case, all important phases of the EIA process identified by the existing literature and own analytical framework were found, while the participation of civil society organizations was evident in most of the steps of the process. The research concludes that CSOs in Croatia could play an even greater role in the EIA process if their capacities were increased and if they would opt for the usage of a greater variety of public participation tools.
