Otok Lavdara - Prilog povijesno-geografskim istraživanjima zadarskih otoka

Historiogeographical determinants of the development of the Lavdara Island situated inthe Zadar archipelago (South Croatia), are primarily the subject of the paper. The authorelaborates its geographical characteristics, some natural-geographical properties (relief,climate, waters, speleological objects etc.), but the most of his attention is paid to theinterpretation of the archives concerning the island, which is of a great advantage for avaluable historiogeographical retrospect of this small island that belongs to the cadastralcommune of Sali (Dugi otok island), and evaluation of the same. The paper is an example ofmicrogeographical and historical analysis of economic possibilities of exploiting the island(quarrying, farming, cattle-breeding).
