Land tenure registration on the marine areas in Croatia

摘要

An efficient management and planning of activities on the sea and in coastal zones require prompt and accurate information about existing tenure, i.e. information about the rights, restrictions and responsibilities in effect on a certain area, either marine, onshore, or both. The most straightforward solution to the growing need of registration of tenure on marine areas is extending the competence of onshore land registers over the coast to marine area. In this paper the official registers of land tenure appropriate for registration of marine areas in Republic of Croatia are studied. The registered data on marine areas from official registers in the test area of Primorsko – goranska county from 2012 to 2016 have been analyzed in order to classify the registered areas as marine and to determine the increase of registered objects, as a consequence of maritime and coastal activity. Because of the multitude of registers and lack of coordination in registration process some inconsistences were detected with suggestions for standardization, institutional and procedural improvements in order to achieve a better support of official registers for integrated coastal management.
