Petra Radeljak Kaufmann
is an associate professor at the Department of Geography of the Faculty
of Science at the University of Zagreb. She received her master’s degree
from the same department in 2007 with the thesis topic of “The Impact of
Tourism on Sustainable Development of Krka National Park” and her PhD
in 2014 with the dissertation titled “Scenario Method in Spatial Planning:
A Case Study of the Southern Croatian Littoral”. Her main research in-
terests relate to specific methods and techniques in regional and spatial
planning (especially scenario method, Delphi method, and spatial analy-
sis methods) and development challenges of rural and karst areas. She has
published 19 scientific papers and participated in 18 scientific conferences.
She teaches several courses at the undergraduate, graduate, integrated, and
doctoral levels.
Romina Rodela
is a research fellow at the School of Natural Sciences, Technology and
Environmental Studies of Södertörn University, Sweden. She works in the
field of environmental governance, and is involved with two research pro-
jects focused on participatory methods and tools, with a focus on the ways
in which such tools can support knowledge integration, learning, and just
outcomes. She has collaborated with practitioners and researchers from di-
verse disciplines. She is committed to interdisciplinary research seeking
to further the understanding of the dynamics of the interrelationship be-
tween society and the natural environment.
Ivan Šulc
works at the University of Zagreb in the Department of Geography of the
Faculty of Science as a postdoctoral researcher and teaches undergraduate
and master courses. He defended his doctoral thesis “Models of Tourism
Development in South Dalmatia” in 2016 at the same university. His re-
search interests focus on sustainable tourism, tourism impacts, the rela-
tion between tourism and the environment, and geographical informa-
tion systems. He actively participates in three COST Actions (RESTORE,
ENEC and Underground4Value) and has collaborated in 13 research and
other projects related to tourism, introducing GIS in high school educa-
tion, and strategical regional planning. He is the secretary of the Hrvatski
geografski glasnik scientific journal, a member of the steering committee of
the Croatian Geographical Society, and a team leader at the International
Geography Olympiad.
