Osobitost geoturizma leži u naglasku na edukaciji i razumijevanju geoloških i geomorfoloških oblika i procesa, stoga je interpretacija ključni aspekt geoturizma. Koriste se razne tehnike interpretacije, ali najpopularnije sredstvo su interpretacijske ploče – samostalne ili na poučnoj stazi. Geomorfološki lokalitet Medjame nalazi se u Samoborskom gorju, u selu Dubrava Samoborska, 3 km SZ od Samobora. Medjame je mali krško plato ispresijecan pukotinama duž kojih je oblikovan niz speleoloških pojava (špilja i jama) vrlo sličnog postanka i morfologije. Ovaj lokalitet je jedinstvena geomorfološka pojava u panonskoperipanonskoj Hrvatskoj i šire, te zato predstavlja idealnu učionicu o krškom reljefu. Poučna staza „Medjame“ upoznaje posjetitelja s geološkim, geomorfološkim i biološkim obilježjima lokaliteta, ali i ekologijom, budući da je lokalitet do 2006. godine bio onečišćen. Sama poučna staza sadrži klasične interpretacijske ploče na hrvatskom jeziku, te je osmišljena i promotivna brošura. Cilj rada je kroz interpretaciju potaknuti razumijevanje za potrebu zaštite lokaliteta Medjame kao geomorfološkog spomenika prirode. The specificity of geotourism lies in the emphasis on education and understanding of geological and geomorphological forms and processes, so interpretation is a key aspect of geotourism. Various interpretation techniques are used, but the most popular are interpretation boards - independent or on an educational trail. The geomorphological site of Medjame is located in Samoborsko gorje, in the village of Dubrava Samoborska, 3 km NW of Samobor. Medjame is a small karst plateau intersected by fissures along which a number of speleological features (caves and pits) of very similar origin and morphology have been formed. This site is a unique geomorphological phenomenon in Pannonian-Peripannonian Croatia and broader, and therefore represents an ideal classroom on karst relief. The educational trail "Medjame" introduces visitors to the geological, geomorphological and biological characteristics of the site, but also ecology, since the site was polluted until 2006. The educational trail itself contains classic interpretation boards in the Croatian language, and a promotional brochure has been designed. The aim of this paper is to encourage understanding through interpretation for the need to protect the Medjama site as a geomorphological natural monument.

Predmet istraživanja su antropogeni reljefni oblici, odnosno antropogeni geomorfolokaliteti koji su rezultat djelatnosti rudarstva ugljena tijekom XIX. i XX. stoljeća na širem prostoru Murskoga Središća. Nakon inventarizacije geomorfolokaliteta izvršena je njihova evaluacija kroz utvrđivanje znanstvene, ekološke, kulturne, socioekonomske, edukacijske i geokonzervacijske vrijednosti, odnosno ukupne postojeće vrijednosti. Kvantitativna evaluacija geomorfolokaliteta obuhvaća i procjenu njihove potencijalne geoedukacijske i geoturističke vrijednosti te geokonzervacijskih potreba. Evaluacijom je utvrđeno da su istraživani antropogeni reljefni oblici, halde i iskopi, rudarska geobaština i čine prostor jedinstvenog kulturnog krajobraza u Republici Hrvatskoj kojeg je potrebno zaštititi. Predviđena je zaštita u kategoriji V prema IUCN-u. Također, utvrđeno je da je rudarska geobaština značajan turistički resurs područja putem kojeg je moguće utjecati na razvoj određenih selektivnih oblika turizma, prvenstveno geoturizma, te na taj način omogućiti održivi razvoj područja ne ugrožavajući njegove vrijednosti već naprotiv, kroz turizam doprinijeti njihovu očuvanju. Nezamjenjivu ulogu u geokonzervaciji, geoedukaciji i razvoju geoturizma istraživanog područja ima interpretacija. Utvrđen je interpretacijski plan rudarske geobaštine koji obuhvaća razmatranje posjetitelja područja, definiranje resursa za interpretaciju, razvoj tema, utvrđivanje metoda interpretacije i medija te upute za implementaciju. The subject of thesis research are anthropogenic land terrain formations recognized as anthropogenic geomorphological features created by coal mining activities during 19th and 20th century, over the municipal area of Town of Mursko Središće in Croatia. After the introduction of possible geomorphological features, the evaluation of their scientific, ecological, cultural, socioeconomic, educational and geoconservational values was performed. Quantitative evaluation of selected geomorphological features included the estimation of their geoeducational and geotouristic potential values as well as geoconservational needs. Through the evaluation of geomorphological features - the piles of waste material called halde and coal excavation sites - it was determined that those features represents coal mining geoheritage and thus make the area of unique cultural landscape in the Republic of Croatia in the need of conservation. The legal conservation in IUCN category V is anticipated to be appropriate. Furthermore, it is concluded that coal mining geoheritage represents significant tourist resource in the research area. By this resource it is possible to make positive influence on development of specific selective forms of tourism, primarily the geotourism, and ensure the sustainable development of the research area without compromising its basic values. Specific forms of tourism can contribute to long-term conservation of researched geomorphological features. The conclusions and interpretations have the crucial role in geoconservation, geoeducation and in development of geotourism of research area. The interpretation plan of coal mining geoheritage was developed within this thesis and it includes the visitor analysis, recognition of resources for interpretation, development of topics for interpretation, defined methods of interpretation, media for interpretation and instructions for implementation of interpretation.

U sklopu održivog razvoja prostora geomorfološka raznolikost postaje sve značajniji resurs. Geomorfološki lokaliteti mjesta su istaknute znanstvene, edukativne, ekonomske, kulturne i ekološke vrijednosti te predstavljaju resurse koji, međutim, često nisu adekvatno ili uopće iskorišteni u razvoju prostora u kojem se nalaze. Budući da se Park-šuma Jankovac na Papuku, koja je zaštićena zbog velike bioraznolikosti, odlikuje i iznimnom geomorfološkom raznolikošću, u ovom se radu utvrđuje intrinzična i upotrebna vrijednost njenih geomorfoloških lokaliteta kao i potreba za njihovom zaštitom. Metodološki okvir obuhvaća inventarizaciju, procjenu statusa geomorfolokaliteta i geomorfološkog resursa za korištenje u geoedukacijske i geoturističke svrhe. Evaluacijom je izdvojeno osam geomorfoloških lokaliteta velike postojeće i upotrebne (geoturističke i geoedukacijske) vrijednosti koji predstavljaju važan resurs za održiv socioekonomski razvoj lokalne i regionalne zajednice. Geomorphological diversity is becoming a resource of sustainable development all around the world. Geomorphological sites are places of exceptional scientific, educative, economic, cultural and ecological values and represent resources that often are neither adequately nor even at all utilized in development of region in which they are located. Although Park-forest Jankovac on Papuk Mts. is protected because of its great biodiversity, it is also characterized by exceptional geomorphological diversity. Thus, this thesis attempts to determine intrinsic and use value of its geomorphological sites as well as their need for protection. Methodological framework includes inventory, geomorphosite status assessment and evaluation of geomorphological resource for geoeducational and geotouristic purposes. Evaluation has established eight geomorphological sites of great existing and geoeducational and geotouristic value that represent important resources for sustainable socio-economic development of local and regional community.

Krapina-Zagorje county participates partly on the Croatian tourist market. Selective forms of tourism based on natural resources, as well as selective types of tourism in general, must be in the future much more validated. Health tourism is today the most developed form of tourism in the Krapina-Zagorje county. With further development of health tourism, the studied area has good potential for the development of mountain tourism, ecotourism, geotourism and caving tourism. Also, natural tourist attractions should be linked with cultural heritage and be placed together on the tourist market. Krapina-Zagorje county participates partly on the Croatian tourist market.
