Cakavizam je specifična realizacija palatalnih suglasnika geografski ograničena na lokalne varijetete duž istočne obale Jadrana. Unatoč prijeporima i različitim hipotezama vezanim uz porijeklo cakavizma, od onih koji ga tumače kao posljedicu egzogenog (mletačkog) (Małecki 2007 [1929]; Hraste 1962), endogenog (slavenskog, odnosno čakavskog) (Hamm 1957; 1960; Moguš 1977), odnosno kombiniranog podrijetla (Muljačić 1966), autori se mahom slažu da se radi o isključivo čakavskom obilježju. Kao izrazito istaknuto obilježje cakavica je već dugo izložena postepenom napuštanju i to ponajviše u ranije cakavskim obalnim govorima, a zatim i u izoliranijim otočnim govorima. Govor Komiže smatra se najjužnijim cakavskim govorom (Małecki 2007 [1929]), a danas su viški govori među rijetkima koji cakavizam još uvijek čuvaju. Na temelju sociolingvističkog istraživanja na otoku Visu, koje se većinom temelji na uzorcima govorenog jezika prikupljenim intervjuiranjem govornika različite dobi, u radu se analizira jezična varijabilnost i promjena u pojavi cakavizma kako u stvarnom vremenu u odnosu na podatke prikupljene Upitnikom za Hrvatski jezični atlas tako i u prividnom vremenu među govornicima različite dobi. Iako je još uvijek prisutan, cakavizam je u svom punom obliku potvrđen još jedino kod najstarijih govornika. Prikupljeni uzorci govora pokazuju, naime, da se većina cakavskih realizacija svodi na depalatalizirani izgovor /č/, dok se tzv. srednji glasovi /ś/ i /ź/ čuvaju tek iznimno. Cakavizam je među mlađima i govornicima srednje dobi također posvjedočen, no u reduciranom i petrificiranom obliku. Osim toga, cakavizam je u viškim govorima danas često leksikalizirano i ne više produktivno obilježje., Cakavism is a specific realization of originally palatal con¬sonants geographically confined to local idioms along the eastern Adriatic coast. Although its origins have been much disputed and various hypotheses concerning its genesis proposed, ranging from those that postulate its exogenous (Romance Venetian) (Małecki 1929; Hraste 1962), endogenous (autochtonous Slavic Čakavian) (Hamm 1957;1960; Moguš 1977) or mixed origins (Muljačić 1966), no one ever questioned its status as an exclusively Čakavian feature. As an extremely salient feature, cakavism has been exposed to gradual abandoning, which affected first coastal varieties and subsequently other more isolated insular cakavian varieties. The speech of Komiža is considered the southernmost cakavian point (Małecki 2007 [1929]), and the varieties of the Island of Vis are among rare that still maintain this Čakavian feature. On the basis of sociolinguistic research on the Island of Vis, based largely on samples of spoken language collected by interviewing speakers of different ages, the paper analyzes linguistic variability and change in the form and frequency of cakavian realizations. Language change is analyzed in real time by means of comparing field data with the data collected by the Questionnaire for the Croatian Language Atlas in 1960s, and in apparent time by comparing the patterns in language use among speakers of various ages. Although still present, cakavism in its full-fledged form is confirmed only in the oldest age-group. The collected speech samples indicate that the majority of cakavian realizations have been reduced to depalatalized realization of /č/, while the so-called ‘middle sounds’ /ś/ and /ź/ are maintained only exceptionally. Younger and middle-age speakers, therefore, conserve the feature, but in a reduced and petrified form. Also, cakavism is nowadays often lexicalized and no longer a productive feature on the Island of Vis.

Zbog svoje sačuvanosti i povijesne važnosti u Viškom boju Gospina baterija u Visu ima posebno mjesto u korpusu fortifikacijskih građevina iz vremena druge austrijske uprave na otoku. U tekstu se daje povijesni pregled događaja koji su prethodili gradnji Baterije, rekonstruira kompletan proces izgradnje, pojašnjava njezina uloga u ratnim zbivanjima sredinom 19. stoljeća, kao i transformacije od austrijskog napuštanja vojnih položaja na otoku Visu od kraja 19. stoljeća sve do početka 21. stoljeća. U dodatku tekstu daje se osvrt na značaj kartografske zbirke Ratnog arhiva u Beču u kontekstu proučavanja povijesti graditeljstva., Our Lady’s battery in Vis was built during the second Austrian administration (from 1814 to 1918) at the bottom of the spacious bay of Vis, not far from the parish church of Our Lady of Spilica, after which it was named. As part of the defence system of the war port of Vis, it was the last point of defence in case of enemy breach into the interior of the bay of Vis. Since immediately after the Austrian demilitarization of the island it was converted into a public, civilian facility that has been maintained to this day, the original appearance of Our Lady’s Battery has been almost completely preserved. The battery, therefore, stands out in the corpus of Austrian fortification buildings on the island of Vis, mostly devastated or demolished and, today, unrecognizable, and unreadable in space. The text provides a historical overview of the events that preceded the construction of Our Lady’s Battery and explains its role in war events in the middle of the 19th century, especially in the conflict between the Italian and Austrian navies, where the Italians wanted to secure supremacy over the Adriatic by conquering the island of Vis, and which, by the 1866 Battle of Vis, ended with the Italian fleet defeated. The paper gives an overview of the transformations of the Battery that took placeafter the Austrians left the military positions on the island of Vis at the end of the 19th century and all the way until the beginning of the 21st century. According to the analysis of historical drawings, maps and technical plans from the cartographic collections of the War Archives at the Austrian State Archives and the Croatian State Archives, some of which are published for the first time, the complete process of building Our Lady’s Battery has been reconstructed, beginning with the conception of the fortification system of the island of Vis and the formation of the defence system of the war port of Vis through the design and construction process to its final appearance and armament. As archival material, the drawings are not only a source of data on the original appearance of the historic building, but they also provide data on the standard of production and furnishing of technical drawings and document a high level of knowledge of Austrian military engineers and constructors regarding the application of innovative technical solutions during construction. The appendix to the text provides an overview of the significance of the cartographic collection of the Austrian State Archives, the War Archives in Vienna in the context of the study of the history of construction.

Autor je pri pisanju diplomskog rada koristio stručnu literaturu koja govori o situaciji na otoku Visu od kapitulacije Italije do kraja Drugog svjetskog rata. Također, koristeći se arhivskom građom i tadašnjom periodikom, pokušao je dodatno prikazati život lokalnog stanovništva pod talijanskom okupacijom i nakon nje. Najprije je prikazana situacija na otoku Visu prije kapitulacije Italije te se osvrnuo na njegovo strategijsko i političko značenje koje će biti od iznimne važnosti za sam tijek Rata na prostoru Jugoslavije. Naime, otok Vis je bio etapna stanica za zbjeg stanovništva u Italiju te se od tamo dio izbjeglica prebacio Savezničkim brodovima u Egipat. Osim toga, otok je bio tada važna točka na Jadranu za transport Savezničkog oružja i opreme koja je bila prijeko potrebna NOVJ u borbi protiv Nijemaca i njihovih saveznika. Otok Vis dobiva dodatno na važnosti 7. lipnja 1944. godine. Naime, od tada do 18. rujna 1944. godine na otoku su boravili članovi Vrhovnog štaba, Predsjedništvo AVNOJ-a zajedno s Josipom Brozom Titom. U tom vremenskom intervalu oni su iz otoka Visa rukovodili vojnim operacijama NOVJ-a na otoku i kopnu te su se diplomatski borili za svoju ideju buduće Jugoslavije nakon Rata. Također, Vrhovni štab se iz Visa nije se bavio samo s Narodno Oslobodilačkim Pokretima unutar teritorija predratne Jugoslavije, nego je surađivao i s grčkim, albanskim i bugarskim Narodno Oslobodilačkim Pokretima koji su djelovali protiv nacista i njihovih saveznika. Tako se može reći da je tada otok Vis imao međunarodno značenje u borbi protiv nacizma. In writing his thesis, the author used professional literature that talks about the situation on the island of Vis from the capitulation of Italy to the end of World War II. Also, using archival material and periodicals of the time, he tried to show further the life of the local population under and after the Italian occupation. First, the situation on the island of Vis before the capitulation of Italy was presented, and he commented on its strategic and political significance, which will be extremely important for the course of the War in Yugoslavia. Namely, the island of Vis was a stage station for the refugee population to Italy, and from there part of the refugees were transferred by Allied ships to Egypt. In addition, the island was then an important point on the Adriatic for the transport of Allied weapons and equipment that was much needed by the NOVJ in the fight against the Germans and their allies. The island of Vis gained additional importance on June 7, 1944. Namely, from then until September 18, 1944, members of the Supreme Staff, the Presidency of AVNOJ, together with Josip Broz Tito, stayed on the island. In that time interval, they led the NOVJ's military operations on the island and the mainland from the island of Vis and fought diplomatically for their idea of a future Yugoslavia after the War. Also, the Supreme Headquarters from Vis not only dealt with the People's Liberation Movements within the territory of pre-war Yugoslavia, but also cooperated with the Greek, Albanian and Bulgarian People's Liberation Movements that acted against the Nazis and their allies. Thus, it can be said that at that time the island of Vis had international significance in the fight against Nazism.

Kultura i turizam imaju uzajamnu vezu u kojoj jedno neminovno utječe na drugo – kultura postaje vrlo važan motiv turističkih putovanja te nezaobilazni čimbenik turističke ponude. Kulturni se turizam bavi upoznavanjem posjetitelja s različitim i zanimljivim karakteristikama određenog grada, regije ili države. U skladu s tim, film je izraz umjetnosti i kulture te on zastupa i predstavlja način života lokalnog stanovništva, njihov jezik i povijest. Upravo se zbog toga filmski turizam može nazvati granom kulturnog turizma. Filmski i književni turizam su, u većini slučajeva, međusobno isprepleteni jer se većina turistički značajnih, ali i poznatih filmova temelji upravo na istoimenim književnim djelima. Dakle, u ovom obliku turizma posjetitelje privlače mjesta u kojima se odvijala radnja filma ili sam prikaz određenog mjesta na televiziji, odnosno filmu. Nadalje, dvije bitne distinkcije ovog oblika turizma jesu filmski turizam na mjestu snimanja te filmski turizam izvan mjesta snimanja, čija se razlika očituje ponajprije u lokaciji. Odabrane studije slučaja ukazuju na spremnost destinacija u inkorporiranju filma kroz turizam te na problematiku i prednosti s kojima se susreću. Osim toga, analizom i komparacijom se utvrđuje stupanj razvijenosti filmskih destinacija. Culture and tourism affect and correlate with each other – culture becomes a very important travelling motive and an inevitable factor of the tourism offer. Cultural tourism deals with familiarizing visitors with different and interesting characteristics of a particular town, region or country. Accordingly, the film is an expression of arts and culture and it represents the local community’s way of life, language, and history. That is the way the term film tourism can be called a branch of cultural tourism. Film and literary tourism are in most cases intertwined because most of the tourism significant and popular films are based on the eponymous literary works. So, visitors are attracted to the places where the storyline or the display of a certain site for the film took place. Furthermore, two major distinctions are on-location and off-location film tourism. The difference between those two is manifested primarily in the location. The selected case studies point out the promptness of destinations to incorporate the film through tourism, and the issues and advantages they are faced with. In addition, the analysis and comparison determine the degree of development of film destinations.

Autor je iz svoje zbirke paremiologizama otoka Visa, koje je skupljao u sklopu svog istraživanja usmene predaje otoka Visa, izabrao poslovice kao najsažetiji jezični oblik kojim se u organskoj ljudskoj zajednici insularnog prostora otoka Visa čuva i usmeno prenosi među generacijama pučka filozofija spoznaje o životu, o odnosima među ljudima, o prirodnim pojavama, o ritmu meteorološkog vremena, o rodnim odnosima, o iskustvu rada ribarskog i težačkog posla, o smislu čovjekove egzistencije, o odnosu čovjeka prema transcendentnom iskustvu. Takvi proverbijalni iskazi vrlo su ekspresivni zbog sažetosti izraza i potrebe njihovih kreatora da iskaz bude pamtljiv, da uđe u kolektivnu memoriju i ondje trajno ostane kao opomena, kao memento proživljena iskustva ovjerena u životnoj praksi i kao spoznaja univerzalno primjenjiva. Ta misao znade koji put dosegnuti filozofsku lucidnost spoznaje životnih fenomena sagledanih u procesu, u promjenjivosti okoline i relacija u čovjeku samome i njegovoj okolini, društvenoj i prirodnoj. Ujedno ti pučki proverbiji otkrivaju u najsažetijoj jezičnoj formi životnu mudrost neškolovana puka, njegovu vezanost za iskustvo prethodnih generacija, njegovo povjerenje u kontinuitet i smisao međugeneracijske povezanosti te smisao čuvanja naslijeđena znanja kao vrijednosti bitne za opstanak. Poslovice otkrivaju i istančan osjećaj za jezičnu kreativnost u mikrostilističkim formacijama proverbijalnog izraza, što je autoru izazov i za stilističku interpretaciju., The author has chosen proverbs from his collection of paremiologisms from the island of Vis, which he had collected for his research of the island’s oral tradition, as the most summarized linguistic form used by the organic human community of Vis for preservation and oral transfer of folk philosophy on life, human relationships, natural phenomena, rhythm of meteorological weather, gender relations, experience of fisherman and farmer labour, sense of human existence and opinion of a man towards transcendental experience among different generations. Such proverbial expressions are very expressive due to brevity of expression and the necessity of their creators to make the saying easy to remember, to enter the collective memory permanently as a warning, or as a memento of acquired experience authenticated in life practice and a universally applicable truth. This thought that can reach a philosophic lucidity of knowledge on life phenomena seen in a process, within changeability of environment and relations within the man himself, as well as his social and natural environment. Also, these people proverbs reveal in their shortest form a life wisdom of non-schooled folk, its connection to the experience of past generations, its trust in the continuity and sense of intergenerational connections and sense of preserving inherited knowledge as a value necessary for survival. These proverbs reveal a refined sense for linguistic creativity in micro stylistic formations of proverbial expression which represented a challenge for the stylistic interpretation of the author., L’autore dalla sua collezione di paremiologismi dell’isola di Vis, che ha raccolto nell’ambito della sua ricerca della tradizione orale di quest’isola, ha scelto i proverbi come la forma linguistica più sintetica con la quale nella comunità organica umana del territorio insulare di Vis si conserva e tramanda oralmente, di generazione in generazione, la filosofia popolare della conoscenza della vita, dei rapporti interpersonali, dei fenomeni naturali, del ritmo del tempo meteorologico, dei rapporti di genere, dell’esperienza di lavoro del pescatore e del contadino, del senso dell’esistenza umana, della relazione dell’uomo con l’esperienza trascendente. Queste espressioni proverbiali sono molto espressive per la concisione e l’esigenza dei loro creatori che siano memorizzabili, che entrino e rimangano permanentemente nella memoria collettiva come monito, come memento di esperienza vissuta nella prassi quotidiana e di conoscenza universalmente valida. Concetti che sanno a volta raggiungere la lucidità filosofica della conoscenza dei fenomeni quotidiani visti in processo, nei cambiamenti dell’ambiente e delle relazioni nell’uomo stesso e nel suo contesto sociale e naturale. Allo stesso tempo questi proverbi popolari rivelano nella più sintetica forma linguistica la saggezza vissuta del popolo non istruito, il suo legame con le generazioni precedenti, la sua convinzione della continuità e del senso del rapporto intergenerazionale, e il senso del tramandare i saperi ereditati come valori essenziali per la sopravvivenza. Questi proverbi denotano anche una raffinata sensibilità per la creatività linguistica nelle formazioni microstilistiche dell’espressione proverbiale, ciò che rappresenta per l’autore una sfida anche per l’interpretazione stilistica.

Glavna tema ovog rada odnosi se na razvoj nautičkog turizma na otoku Visu te njegov utjecaj u sustavu razvoja destinacije općenito. Budući da je pojam nautičkog turizma kompleksan jer sadrži pomorsku komponentu, prije svega je definiran pojam nautičkog turizma i oblici nautičkog prometa koji nastaju pod utjecajem mnogobrojnih motiva. Ekspanzivan razvoj nautičkog turizma izravno se nadovezuje na razvoj pomorstva općenito i brodarske tehnike, a u Hrvatskoj nagli razvoj započinje stihijskom izgradnjom kompleksa marina i luka duž Jadranske obale 1970-ih. Nakon definiranja općih i povijesnih odrednica nautičkog turizma, opisan je otok Vis unutar geografskih obilježja i u sustavu dosadašnjeg razvoja turizma otoku te navedena je turistička atrakcijska osnova kao glavni nositelj turističke ponude. S obzirom da je nautički turizam u određenoj mjeri ekskluzivan te okuplja turiste uglavnom veće platežne moći, nautički turizam uslijed povećane turističke potrošnje potiče razvoj destinacije kojoj gravitira. Međutim, kao svojevrsni okupator prostora u kojem se nalazi, nautički turizam za sobom nosi posljedice koji se mogu negativno odraziti na atraktivnost destinacije. U kontekstu otoka Visa navedeni su pozitivni i negativni utjecaji razvoja nautičkog turizma te njegov učinak na cjelokupni razvoj otoka. The main subject of this study is the development of nautical tourism on the island of Vis and its impact on the upgrowth of the destination in general. Since the notion of 'nautical tourism' is complex because it includes a maritime component, this study, first of all, defines the notion and forms of maritime traffic which are created under the influence of many motives. Expansive growth of nautical tourism has been directly related to the development of maritime affairs and shipping techniques, and, in Croatia, sudden development began in the 1970s, with an uncontrolled construction of the marina and port complexes along the Adriatic coast. After defining general and historical determinants of nautical tourism, the island of Vis is described in regard to its geographical features, ongoing tourism progress and tourist attraction basis which is as a keystone of the tourist offer. Since nautical tourism is to a certain extent exclusive and brings together financially strong customers, it encourages the development of the destinationto which it gravitates through increased tourist consumption. However, it brings side effects which can be negatively reflected on the attractiveness of the destination.In the context of the island of Vis, both positive and negative impacts of the development of nautical tourism and its influence on the overall development of the island are mentioned.

Polazeći od sadašnjeg stanja i sadašnje strategije zbrinjavanja otpada za otok Vis definirati će se nova strategija koja se oslanja na strategiju Kružne ekonomije. Analizirati će se dvije osnovne alternative zbrinjavanja komunalnog organskog otpada: (i) kompostiranje; (ii) ispuštanje mokrog organskog otpada u kanalizaciju i kompostiranje pretežito suhog organskog otpada. Primjenom višekriterijalne analize analizirati će se značajke pojedinih alternativa te predložiti optimalno rješenje za otok Vis. Polazeći od dobivenih rezultata predložit će se opće smjernice za rješavanje problema zbrinjavanja organskog otpada za manje otoke na Jadranu. Starting from the present situation and the current waste management strategy for the Island of Vis, a new strategy that relies on strategy Circular Economy, will be defined. The two basic alternatives of municipal organic waste will be taken into consideration: (i) composting; (ii) the release of wet organic waste in sewage and composting mainly dry organic waste. By applying the multicriteria analysis the characteristics of individual alternatives will be analyzed and the best solution for the island of Vis suggested. Based on the obtained results general guidelines will be proposed for solving problems of disposal of organic waste for the smaller islands in the Adriatic.

U radu se raspravlja o obzidanoj lokvi Krušovici kao unikatnom spomeniku tradicijskog graditeljstva na otoku Visu. Svojim nazivom lokva koji se sačuvao u narodu svjedoči o davnoj prošlosti otoka u kojoj je danas zaboravljeno stočarstvo bilo značajna grana privređivanja, a svojim oblikom svjedoči o transformacijama otočke ekonomije polovicom devetnaestog stoljeća u kojima je u novoj funkciji bunara imala značajno mjesto u komiškoj tradicijskoj kulturi., In the medieval economy of the island of Vis, along with agriculture and fishing, livestock breeding was an important branch of earning. Over time, livestock breeding has been declining, although in the middle of the 19th century, cheese was one of the island’s major export products. At the end of the 19th and in the 20th century, livestock breeding completely vanished from the island. Two ponds registered in an Austrian cadastral survey in the first part of the 19th century testify about the livestock landscape of the island of Vis; the pond in Velo polje and Krušovica pond. Krušovica pond is particularly interesting since the transformation of the island’s economy transformed it as well, adapting it to the new function. Krušovica pond was created as a natural accumulation of rainwater on the clay ground of the Krušovica hill between Podhumlje and Dračevo field. It is laid on the pastures, far away from the village. During the time of the island’s economy transformation when livestock breeding gave way to viticulture and fishing, the pond was further deepened and reinforced with a dry-wall base, the bottom was paved with stone plates, and stairs for descending into the water were built on three sides. It was transformed into a well, the water of which was used for washing laundry by people from Podhumlje, Žena Glava, and Duboka. The fact that Krušovica pond was given a special cadastral number (parcel) and that it was noted in blue in 1834 on the cadastral map, indicates that it was reinforced before (or during) the making of the Austrian cadastre. Three paths lead to Krušovica. Every village had its own access to Krušovica and its own stairs for descending into the water, i.e. its own place next to the pond. Krušovica is a unique monument of traditional architecture on the island of Vis. Its name "pond" (lokva, in Croatian) which was preserved among people, testifies about the ancient past of the island in which now-forgotten livestock breeding was an important branch of earning, while with its shape it testifies about the transformations of the island’s economy in the middle of the 19th century in which, in its new function as a well, it had a significant place in the traditional culture of Komiža.

U ovom istraživanju nastojalo se utvrditi utječe li ACE I/D polimorfizam, kao primjer genetičkog čimbenika unutar jednog od gena odgovornog za regulaciju krvnog tlaka, na krvni tlak čovjeka, s naglaskom na nastanak hipertenzije. Preostali nepromjenjivi čimbenici izučavani u ovom radu su spol i dob, a uz njih izučavani su promjenjivi, u širem smislu okolišni, čimbenici: debljina, razina masnoća u krvi i navika pušenja. Pri tome je korišten uzorak izolirane populacije otoka Visa koji se sastoji od 140 osoba u dobi od 40 do 81 godine. Ustanovljena je pozitivna korelacija sistoličkog tlaka s dobi, indeksom tjelesne mase (BMI) i koncentracijom triglicerida, te pozitivna korelacija dijastoličkog tlaka s BMI i koncentracijom triglicerida, a negativna s brojem godina pušenja i indeksom pušenja. Kod muškaraca je značajan utjecaj na povišenje krvnog tlaka imala koncentracija triglicerida, a kod žena je to bio BMI. Budući da ACE I/D polimorfizam nije u kodirajućoj regiji, pretpostavlja se da pokazuje efekt nekog drugog, funkcionalnog polimorfizma, koji je u neravnoteži vezanosti gena s izučavanim. Rezultati su pokazali da se utjecaj polimorfizma ACE gena može objasniti recesivnim modelom, tj. „rizični“ alel utječe na pojavu hipertenzije jedino u homozigotnoj formi. Povećan utjecaj ACE I/D polimorfizma na nastanak hipertenzije utvrđen je nakon uključenja rizičnih čimbenika kao što su spol, dob, BMI, koncentracija kolesterola, HDL kolesterola i triglicerida te indeks pušenja. Međupopulacijskom usporedbom između opće populacije Republike Hrvatske i populacije otoka Visa potvrđena je pogodnost ove izolirane populacije za istraživanja genetičke podloge hipertenzije kao kompleksnog poremećaja. This study aimed to determine whether ACE I/D polymorphism, as a genetic factor located within one of the genes responsible for controlling blood pressure, affects human blood pressure, with an emphasis on hypertension. The remaining factors studied in this work were gender and age as well as, in a broader sense, environmental factors: obesity, fat components in the blood and smoking habit. The sample was drawn from the population isolate of the island of Vis and consisted of 140 persons 40 to 81 years old. A positive correlation was established between systolic pressure and age, BMI and triglyceride concentration, and between the diastolic blood pressure and BMI and triglyceride concentration, as well as a negative correlation between diastolic blood pressure and the number of smoking years and smoking index. A significant influence on the increase of blood pressure in men had the concentration of triglycerides, while in women it was the BMI. Since ACE I/D polymorphism is not located in the coding region of the gene, it was supposed that it showed the effect of another polymorphism that is functional and in the linkage disequilibrium with it. The effect of ACE I/D polymorphism has been shown to obey the recessive model, i.e. the „risk“ allele influenced the development of hypertension only in its homozygous form. The influence of ACE I/D polymorphism on the development of hypertension was found also after taking into account the other risk factors such as gender, age, BMI and the concentrations of cholesterol, HDL and triglycerides as well as smoking index. Comparison between the general population of Croatia and the population of island Vis confirmed the suitability of this isolated population for genetic research of hypertension as a complex disorder.

U ovom radu autor nastoji osvijetliti razvitak gospodarstva otoka Visa u prošlosti. Naime, dosad su znane mnoge pojedinosti o viškom ribarstvu zahvaljujući novijim istraživanjima. No, druge grane gospodarstva ostale su prilično nepoznate. To se u prvom redu odnosi na poljodjelstvo i pomorstvo. Da bi ukupni razvitak gospodarstva otoka bio prikazan u boljem svjetlu, autor je obavio konzultiranje dosege dosadašnje literature o predmetu, ali isto tako uvid u sačuvane izvore. Rezultati njegovih istraživanja bit će podastrti ovdje, prema zahtjevima suvremene ekonomske povijesti: prvobitna proizvodnja, prerada, pomorstvo, trgovina, te demografski razvoj i drugo u vezi s tim. Stoga je ovaj prikaz moguće nazvati nekakvom povijesti gospodarstva otoka.
