Agency for the Environment and Nature, 2018) regarding orientation and
planning for protected areas and/or areas of ecological networks, and the
best practices of European management plans. The management of the
Park is planned via five main themes, for which general goals and activities
have been defined by evaluation and grouped into subthemes.
For each planned activity the following has been determined: imple-
mentation priorities; schedule of implementation; expected cooperation
with partners and institutions in goal implementation; and an evaluation
of expected implementation expenses (normal expenses for Park business,
e.g. employee payroll, are not included in this evaluation). In total, 556 ac-
tivities were determined and grouped into 18 subthemes within the five
general themes. In comparison to the former plan, the determination of
the aforementioned five themes with their respective subthemes (listed be-
low) is a major change (Plitvice Lakes National Park, 2018).
A. Preserved species diversity, biotopes and karst forms, as well as
the stable process of tufa formation ensure the preservation of the
unique beauty of the natural landscape, and also the preserva-
tion of the unique, universal value of the Park for current and fu-
ture generations. Subthemes: preservation of aquatic ecosystems;
preservation of forest ecosystems; preservation of grasslands; and
preservation of karst.
B. Preserved cultural heritage has an important role in presenting the
value of the Park and contributes to preservation of the traditions
and cultural identity of the area. Subthemes: tangible cultural her-
itage; intangible cultural heritage; and cultural landscapes.
C. A full and unhindered experience that does not damage the val-
ues of the Park must be enabled for all visitors, which will best pres-
ent preserved world heritage, create the income needed for its up-
keep, generate public support for nature preservation, and create
opportunities for sustainable development of the local communi-
ty. Subthemes: visitation system; hospitality and commerce; in-
terpretation and education; and marketing.
D. The local community is the main partner of the Public Institution
in management of the Park and preservation of its values and the
Park is recognised as a constituent part of the identity of the local
community, and development of the local community based on sus-
