This Law regulates the spatial planning system: objectives, principles and subjects of spatial planning, monitoring the situation in the space and area of spatial planning, spatial planning conditions, adoption of the Spatial Development Strategy of the Republic of Croatia, spatial plans, including their preparation and adoption procedure, implementation of spatial plans, development of construction land, property institutes for development of construction land and supervision of the implementation of this Act. This Law also transposes the provisions of certain European Union legislation as listed in article 2. The text is divided into twelve thematic Main Parts and a total of 250 articles. Titles of these Parts are as follows: One. Basic provisions; Two. Spatial planning entities; Three. Monitoring the state of spatial and spatial planning area; Four. Spatial planning requirements; Five. Spatial planning documents; Six. Urban land regulation; Seven. Implementation of interventions in spatial; Eight. Development of building land; Nine. Property institutes of building land regulation; Ten. Supervision; Eleven. Penalty provisions; and Twelve. Transitional and final provisions. This Law defines that spatial planning ensures the conditions for the sustainable use, management, protection and administration of the territory of the Republic of Croatia and the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Croatia as a particularly valuable and limited national asset, and thereby creates the prerequisites for social and economic development, environmental and nature protection, preservation and protection of cultural heritage, by encouraging excellent construction and rational use of natural resources. The objectives of spatial planning are: 1. protection and preservation of space as a limited natural asset of national interest with balanced spatial development aligned with economic, social and environmental starting points; 2. spatial sustainability in relation to the rational use and preservation of spatial capacity on land, at sea and under the sea for the purpose of effective spatial protection, and rational and uniform infrastructural equipment of the space; 3. linking the spatial planning system of the territory of the Republic of Croatia with European spatial planning systems; 4. increasing the resilience of space to changes caused by modern challenges (natural disasters, climate change, chemical and biological threats, disasters caused by human activity, etc.); 5. nurturing and developing regional spatial characteristics; 6. mutually coordinated and complementary distribution of various human activities and activities in space for the functional and harmonious development of the community while protecting the integral values of the space; 7. rational use and protection of natural resources, nature conservation, environmental protection and prevention of pollution risks; 8. protection of cultural goods and values; 9. well-organized distribution and development of construction land; 10. planning, management and protection of the landscape as an integral spatial concept; 11. high-quality and humane development of urban and rural settlements, development of green infrastructure and a safe, healthy, socially functional living and working environment; 12. integrity of valuable coastal ecosystems and quality of sea and inland waters for bathing and recreation; 13. adequate transport system and sustainable urban mobility; 14. supply, functional accessibility and use of services and buildings for the needs of different population groups, especially children, the elderly and people with reduced abilities and mobility; 15. quality, culture and beauty of spatial and architectural design; 16. creating high-value built space, taking into account the specificities of individual units and developing green infrastructure while respecting the natural and urban landscape and cultural heritage, and especially the development of hospitality and tourist areas in the coastal and inland areas, while protecting the narrow coastal belt from construction; 17. spatial conditions for economic development; 18. national security and defense of the Republic of Croatia and protection against natural and other disasters. The objectives of spatial planning are achieved by applying the principles of spatial planning in the development and adoption of spatial plans based on expert solutions in each individual field of expertise and their implementation.
