SPATIAL PLANS OF SPECIAL PURPOSE AREAS AND PROTECTION OF NATURAL ASSETS IN THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA

Abstract

Spatial plans of special purpose areas represent the most important category of strategic spatial planning documents that deal with the protection of natural assets, i.e. protected natural areas. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, before 1992, the Spatial Plan of the special area of „Sutjeska“ National Park was adopted, while the Spatial Planning Program was adopted for the „Kozara“ National Park. The paper analyzes today's presence of spatial plans of protected natural areas in the territory of the Republic of Srpska, with special reference to the planning propositions from the Amendments of the Spatial Plan of the Republic of Srpska until 2025, which refer to the development of spatial plans of protected natural areas.
