LOCAL LEVEL
Approximately 1 Million Croatian citizens, or 50% of the workforce gain some aspect of their income from agricultural production. Culturally speaking, farm culture also presents a historically significant and vernacular methodology, particularly within the Jelsa Municipality. With so many people invested in the rural landscape, there is a strong opportunity to combine agriculture and tourism using prefabricated architecture and inherently vernacular Croatian construction methods to create a new form of tourism infrastructure that capitalizes on existing legislation and provides tourists with a unique experience. The Jelsa urban context, which already relies heavily on private accommodations over mass tourism infrastructure such as hotels, is currently developing a master plan to transform the city into a destination increasing financial viability for its residents, who are largely invested in the tourism sector. This project utilizes the large amount of agricultural space (ARKOD system) and provides a small, (25 sq.m.) rural based typology designed around a pre-fabricated core. Construction techniques for the exterior utilize extracted site and local materials such as limestone and timber, and can be built quickly and easily using the traditional methods of rubble wall construction. Tourists will be able to stay on agricultural plots and have a unique experience embedded in the landscape of Hvar Island. This scheme will boost the private accommodation stock, and help to boost individual income rather than creating revenue for a larger corporation or hotel. Because capital is filtered through single management enterprises, this typology has the potential to establish tourism resiliency in Jelsa.
