The authors elaborate geographical features of the Ugljan island, the most inhabitedisland of the Zadar archipelago in South Croatia. The purpose of the paper, continuing formerworks, is to offer groundwork for future specialized and complexe researches on regionalgeographical problems concerning this island. The inhabitants of the island have evaluated andexploited its physicogeographical basis since prehistory, creating in this way a specific Ugljancultural landscape. Zadar, the city closely to the island, played a decisive role in itshistoriogeographical development. Owing to contemporary socioeconomic development,Ugljan is, in fact a part of specific Zadar periurban zone.
