No full textU radu se analizira utjecaj zračnog i pomorskog prometa na razvoj Zadarske regije, s naglaskom na luku Gaženica i Zračnu luku Zadar. Luka Gaženica promatra se kao ključna za pomorski promet, kruzing turizam i logistiku, dok se Zračna luka Zadar ističe u povezivanju regije s međunarodnim tržištima, čime se potiče turizam, privlačenje investicija i stvaranje radnih mjesta. Kombiniranim učinkom ovih dviju luka doprinosi se jačanju regionalne ekonomije i kvalitete života. U radu se istražuje kako pomorski i zračni promet kroz navedene luke može unaprijediti turizam, gospodarstvo i logistiku Zadarske regije. Posebna pažnja posvećena je sinergijama, izazovima i prilikama za daljnji razvoj, s naglaskom na regionalnu i međunarodnu povezanost. Također, predlažu se konkretne mjere za povećanje konkurentnosti kroz modernizaciju infrastrukture, proširenje kapaciteta i održivo upravljanje turizmom. Doprinos rada vidi se u analizi ključne uloge luke Gaženica i Zračne luke Zadar za razvoj regije. Zaključeno je da sinergija između ovih dviju luka omogućava jaču povezanost s ostatkom Hrvatske i svijetom, čime se stvaraju pozitivni ekonomski efekti kroz povećanje prometa, rast broja turista i otvaranje novih radnih mjesta.The paper analyzes the impact of air and sea traffic on the development of Zadar region, with an emphasis on the port of Gaženica and Zadar Airport.

Parents' and Educators' Views on the Impact of Animated Films on Children's Language Development
No full textOd gugutanja i tepanja u djetinjstvu do pojave složenih rečenica u kasnijim godinama, djeca prolaze kroz nevjerojatnu transformaciju u svojoj sposobnosti prenošenja misli, osjećaja i potreba. Put usvajanja jezika kod djece dugotrajan je i složen proces, a odnosi se na postupno stjecanje i usavršavanje govorno-jezičnih vještina. Rane godine života presudne su za postavljanje temelja tih vještina jer djeca započinju složen proces razvoja govora. Ovaj proces oblikovan je mnoštvom čimbenika, pri čemu okolina igra ključnu ulogu u oblikovanju djetetovih govorno-jezičnih sposobnosti. Jedan od okolinskih čimbenika su i animirani filmovi koji su postali sastavni dio suvremenog djetinjstva, uključujući djecu u priče koje često nadilaze granice stvarnosti. Dok se smiju, uče i rastu uz svoje omiljene animirane likove, djeca ne provode vrijeme samo u igri. Ovo dječje carstvo ima značajan utjecaj na različite aspekte djetetova razvoja, uključujući njihov govor i jezične vještine. Izloženost raznolikim nizom likova, svaki sa svojim jedinstvenim načinom izražavanja misli, emocija i ideja, ne samo da proširuje njihov vokabular, već igra i ključnu ulogu u oblikovanju načina na koji komuniciraju sa svijetom oko sebe. U ovom radu donosi se teorijski pregled animiranog filma te načini na koje te filmske kreacije doprinose poticanju razvoja govora kod djece. Cilj istraživačkog dijela je ispitati stavove roditelja i odgojitelja o utjecaju animiranih filmova na govorno-jezični razvoj djece, ali i o navikama i preferencijama njihove djece kada je riječ o ovom mediju.From babbling and cooing in childhood to the emergence of complex sentences children undergo an incredible transformation in their ability to convey thoughts, feelings, and needs. The journey of language acquisition in children is a long and complex process, involving the gradual acquisition and refinement of linguistic skills. Early years of life are crucial for laying the foundation of language skills as children embark on the intricate process of speech development. This process is shaped by numerous factors, with the environment playing a key role in shaping a child's linguistic abilities. One of these environmental factors is animated films, which have become an integral part of modern childhood, immersing children in stories that often transcend the boundaries of reality. As they laugh, learn, and grow with their favorite animated characters, children are not merely entertained — this realm of childhood has a significant impact on various aspects of a child's development, including their speech and language skills. Exposure to a diverse array of characters, each with their unique ways of expressing thoughts, emotions, and ideas, not only expands their vocabulary but also plays a crucial role in shaping how they communicate with the world around them. This paper presents a theoretical overview of animated films and the ways these cinematic creations contribute to promoting speech development in children. The aim of the research component is to examine parents' and educators' attitudes towards the impact of animated films on children's language development, as well as the habits and preferences of their children regarding this medium
The Literary Festival Scene in Croatia from 2010 to 2019: A Relational Perspective
No full textOvaj rad istražuje scenu književnih festivala u Hrvatskoj u razdoblju od 2010.-2019. godine kroz primjenu mrežne analize. Mrežna analiza omogućuje uvid u dinamiku između aktera i festivala, čime se identificiraju ključna središta aktivnosti i povezanosti unutar književne scene. Povezujući sociologiju i znanost o književnosti, rad se teorijski oslanja na teoriju kulturnog polja Pierrea Bourdieua te koncept simboličkog kapitala kako bi se analiziralo funkcioniranje književnih festivala kao prostora kulturne razmjene. Rezultati pokazuju da festivali smješteni u razvijenijim regijama, s većim brojem sudionika, zauzimaju središnje pozicije unutar mreže. Njihova centralnost dodatno se povećava kada okupljaju autore koji su već integrirani u druge književne događaje, čime postaju važni posrednici u prijenosu informacija i resursa unutar književne zajednice. Autori koji sudjeluju na većem broju festivala ističu se kao ključni čvorovi, pri čemu raznolika gostovanja na značajnim festivalima poboljšavaju njihovu vidljivost. Poanta je prikazati dinamiku književne scene i istaknuti širok spektar mogućnosti primjene mrežne analize u razumijevanju kulturnih mreža.This paper explores the scene of literary festivals in Croatia from 2010 to 2019 through the application of network analysis. Network analysis enables an understanding of the dynamics between participants and literary festivals, as well as the identification of key centres of activity within the literary scene. By linking sociology and literature, the research utilizes Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural fields and the concept of symbolic capital to illustrate how literary festivals function as spaces of cultural exchange. The results show that festivals located in more developed regions, with a larger number of participants, occupy central positions within the network. Their centrality is further enhanced when they attract authors who are already integrated into other literary events, making them important intermediaries in the transmission of information and resources within the literary community. Authors who participate in a greater number of festivals stand out as key nodes, with diverse appearances at significant festivals enhancing their visibility. The purpose of the study is to showcase the dynamics of the literary scene and highlight the broad range of applications of network analysis in understanding cultural networks
Terminological analysis of adjectives in the karst domain
No full textCe mémoire de master étudie les adjectifs liés aux phénomènes karstiques en trois langues : anglais, français et croate. Cette recherche souligne l’importance d’une terminologie précise et claire dans la communication scientifique, en particulier dans le domaine de la géomorphologie, sachant que l’échange de terminologie géologique et géographique entre langues implique la prise en compte de différentes configurations de terrain et de processus cognitifs qui ont un impact sur la perception et compréhension de l’espace et de l’environnement. Dans ce mémoire nous explorons les variations sémantiques, collocationnelles et morphologiques des adjectifs au sein du domaine du karst et nous identifions les défis associés à leur traduction et à leur conceptualisation. L’approche méthodologique est basée sur l’analyse de corpus spécialisés et sur l’application de l’approche théorique Terminologique des Cadres (Frame-based Terminology), qui permet une analyse systématique de la terminologie karstique. Les corpus croate et anglais font partie du projet TermFrame, tandis que le corpus français est issu de recherches antérieures sur l’analyse comparative trilingue de termes multi-mots du domaine du karst. Les résultats obtenus ont été visualisés à l’aide de l’outil de visualisation en ligne NetViz. Cette analyse terminologique contribue à une meilleure compréhension des structures conceptuelles de la terminologie du karst et, en général, de la terminologie géomorphologique. Les résultats intéressent les traducteurs, les scientifiques et les chercheurs en géologie et en géographie, dans le but ultime de normaliser la terminologie dans toutes les langues afin de garantir la clarté dans le domaine du karst.U ovom diplomskom radu istražuju se pridjevi vezani za krške fenomene u trima jezicima: engleskom, francuskom i hrvatskom. Analizom se naglašava važnost precizne i točne terminologije u znanstvenoj komunikaciji, posebice u području geomorfologije, imajući u vidu da razmjena geološke i geografske terminologije među jezicima uključuje uzimanje u obzir različitih konfiguracija terena te kognitivnih procesa koji utječu na percepciju i razumijevanje prostora i okoliša. U radu se istražuju semantičke, kolokacijske i morfološke varijacije pridjeva unutar domene krša te se identificiraju izazovi povezani s njihovim prevođenjem i konceptualizacijom. Metodološki pristup temelji se na analizi specijaliziranih korpusa i primjeni teorijskog pristupa terminologije okvira (Frame-based Terminology), koja omogućuje sustavnu analizu krške terminologije. Hrvatski i engleski korpus dio su projekta TermFrame, dok francuski korpus proizlazi iz prethodnih istraživanja trojezične usporedne analize višerječnih pojmova u domeni krša. Dobiveni rezultati vizualizirani su s pomoću online alata za vizualizaciju NetViz. Ovom se terminološkom analizom pridonosi boljem razumijevanju pojmovnih struktura krške terminologije i općenito geomorfološkog nazivlja. Dobiveni rezultati važni su za prevoditelje, znanstvenike i istraživače u geologiji i geografiji, s krajnjim ciljem standardizacije terminologije u svim jezicima kako bi se osigurala jasnoća u izučavanju krša.This master’s thesis investigates adjectives related to karstic phenomena in three languages: English, French and Croatian. This study emphasizes the importance of precise and accurate terminology in scientific communication, particularly in the field of geomorphology, bearing in mind the exchange of geological and geographical terminology between languages involves taking into account different terrain configurations and cognitive processes which have an impact on the perception and understanding of space and the environment. This thesis explores the semantic, collocational and morphological variations of adjectives within the karst domain and identifies challenges associated with their translation and conceptualization. The methodological approach is based on specialized corpora analysis and on the application of the approach of Frame-based Terminology, which allows a systematic analysis of karst terminology. The Croatian and English corpora are part of the TermFrame project, while the French corpus comes from previous research on the trilingual comparative analysis of multi-word terms from the karst domain. The obtained results were visualized using the online visualization tool NetViz. This terminological analysis contributes to a better understanding of the conceptual structures of karst terminology and, in general, of geomorphological terminology. The results are of interest for translators, scientists, and researchers in geology and geography, with the ultimate goal of standardizing terminology across languages to ensure clarity in the field of karstology
Fragile masculinity in Theodor Fontane's Effi Briest
No full textDiese Masterarbeit untersucht die zerbrechliche Männlichkeit in Theodor Fontanes Roman Effi Briest und analysiert, wie gesellschaftliche Normen und Erwartungen die Entwicklung verschiedener Männlichkeitstypen beeinflussen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Männlichkeit, die sich strikt nach gesellschaftlichen Vorschriften und Regeln richtet, nicht bestehen kann. Themen wie Ehe, Freundschaft und Ehre werden im Kontext der Geschlechterforschung, insbesondere der Männerforschung, betrachtet. Fontane nutzt die Geschichte von Effi und den Ehebruch, um seine Kritik an der Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts zu verdeutlichen. Diese Kritik zielt nicht auf die Untreue oder das Alter der Protagonistin ab, sondern darauf, wie brüchig und schwach die gesellschaftlichen Strukturen tatsächlich sind. Das angeblich starke System, das den Staat sichern soll, entpuppt sich als trügerische Fassade. Fontane zeigt in Effi Briest nicht nur die Zerbrechlichkeit der Gesellschaft als Ganzes, sondern auch die der einzelnen Männer, die durch die starren gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen ihrer eigenen Zerrissenheit ausgeliefert sind.Ovaj diplomski rad se bavi ispitivanjem krhke strane muškost u romanu Effi Briest Theodora Fontanea i analizira kako društvene norme i očekivanja utječu na razvoj različitih tipova muškosti. Glavna pouka priče je da muškost, koja striktno slijedi društvena pravila i propise, ne može postojati. Teme kao što su brak, prijateljstvo i čast razmatraju se u kontekstu rodnih studija, posebice muških studija. Fontane koristi priču o Effi i preljubu kako bi ilustrirao svoju kritiku društva 19. stoljeća. Ova kritika nije usmjerena na nevjeru ili godine glavne protagonisitice, već na to koliko su društvene strukture zapravo krhke i slabe. Ono što bi trebao biti jakisustav, koji prikazuje stabilnosti države, ustvari je samo varljiva fasada. U romanu Effi Briest, Fontane ne otkriva samo krhkost društva u cjelini, već i krhkost i nestabilnost svakog pojedinca koji je prepušten na milost i nemilost vlastitoj unutarnjoj borbi zbog zbog nerealnih očekivanja društva.This master's thesis examines the fragile masculinity in Theodor Fontane's novel Effi Briest and analyzes how social norms and expectations influence the development of different types of masculinity. It becomes clear that masculinity that strictly follows social rules and regulations cannot exist. Topics such as marriage, friendship and honor are considered in the context of gender studies, especially men's studies. Fontane uses the story of Effi and adultery to illustrate his criticism of 19th century society. This criticism is not aimed at the protagonist's infidelity or age, but at how fragile and weak the social structures actually are. The supposedly strong system that is supposed to secure the state turns out to be a deceptive façade. In Effi Briest, Fontane not only shows the fragility of society as a whole, but also that of the individual men, who are at the mercy of their own fragility due to the rigid social expectations
Duration and termination of the maritime agency contract
No full textUgovori o pomorskoj agenciji služe kao ključni alati unutar pomorskog sektora, uređujući odnose između agenata i njihovih principala, te osiguravaju profesionalno obavljanje brodskih operacija. Ti ugovori imaju važnu ulogu u upravljanju pomorskim poslovima, te pružaju osnovu za definiranje prava i odgovornosti stranaka. Trajanje ugovora može varirati ovisno o prirodi posla i specifičnostima tržišta, a različiti čimbenici, poput promjena tržišnih uvjeta ili prilagodbi poslovnih planova, mogu uzrokovati njegov raskid. Shvaćanje pravnih aspekata koji se tiču trajanja i prestanka ugovora ključno je za održavanje stabilnosti i pravne sigurnosti u poslovnim odnosima. Fleksibilnost i prilagodba ugovornih sporazuma važni su za dugoročni uspjeh u dinamičnom pomorskom sektoru, gdje se neprekidno razvijaju novi izazovi i prilike. Osiguranje preciznih i jasnih ugovornih odredbi pomaže u minimiziranju pravnih rizika i omogućuje efikasno upravljanje poslovnim odnosima. Različiti aspekti trajanja i prestanka ugovora o pomorskoj agenciji odražavaju se na stabilnost i kontinuitet poslovanja unutar pomorske industrije. Prilagodba ugovornih odredbi i uvjeta može značajno utjecati na učinkovitost operacija i može pospješiti odnosa uključenih stranaka. S obzirom na globalnu prirodu pomorske trgovine, usklađivanje s međunarodnim standardima i regulativama dodatno je važno za minimiziranje pravnih nesuglasica i osiguranje nesmetanog poslovanja. Uvođenje fleksibilnih ugovornih klauzula koje omogućuju prilagodbu tržišnim promjenama može unaprijediti sposobnost stranaka da se nose s nepredviđenim okolnostima te doprinijeti dugoročnom uspjehu i održivosti u pomorskoj industriji. Osim toga, transparentnost i jasnoća u definiranju prava i obveza pomažu u izbjegavanju pravnih sporova ili omogućuju njihovo pravovremeno rješavanje, dodatno unaprjeđujući pravnu sigurnost i poslovnu stabilnost.Contracts related to maritime agencies serve as key tools within the maritime sector, governing the relationships between agents and their principals and ensuring the professional execution of shipping operations. These contracts play a crucial role in managing maritime activities and provide a foundation for defining the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved. The duration of contracts can vary depending on the nature of the work and market specifics, with factors such as changes in market conditions or adjustments in business plans potentially leading to contract termination. Understanding the legal aspects concerning the duration and termination of contracts is essential for maintaining stability and legal security in business relationships. Flexibility and adaptation of contractual agreements are important for long-term success in the dynamic maritime sector, where new challenges and opportunities continuously arise. Ensuring precise and clear contractual terms helps minimize legal risks and enables effective management of business relationships. Various aspects of the duration and termination of maritime agency contracts reflect on the stability and continuity of operations within the maritime industry. Adjusting contractual provisions and conditions can significantly impact operational efficiency and enhance relations between the parties involved. Given the global nature of maritime trade, alignment with international standards and regulations is additionally important for minimizing legal disputes and ensuring smooth operations. Introducing flexible contractual clauses that allow for adaptation to market changes can improve parties' ability to handle unforeseen circumstances and contribute to long-term success and sustainability in the maritime industry. Furthermore, transparency and clarity in defining rights and obligations help avoid legal disputes or facilitate their timely resolution, further enhancing legal security and business stability
Indicators of job satisfaction among employees in the hotel industry
No full textOvaj rad istražuje odrednice zadovoljstva poslom zaposlenika u hotelskim poduzećima, s naglaskom na osobne i organizacijske odrednice kao što su osobine ličnosti, stil vođenja i organizacijska pravednost. Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi kako navedene odrednice utječu na zadovoljstvo poslom zaposlenika. Zadovoljstvo poslom odnosi se na emocionalni odgovor zaposlenika na različite aspekte radnog okruženja i ključno je za njihovu produktivnost, motivaciju i dugoročnu lojalnost. U istraživanju su sudjelovali zaposlenici hotelskih poduzeća na području Zadarske županije. Rezultati pokazuju da postoji statistički značajna povezanost između stilova vođenja i zadovoljstva zaposlenika kao i kod različitih dimenzija organizacijske pravednosti i zadovoljstva zaposlenika. Kod osobina ličnosti vidljivo je da statistički značajnu povezanost sa zadovoljstvom poslom imaju neuroticizam i ekstraverzija. Najveću statistički značajnu pozitivnu povezanost sa zadovoljstvom poslom ima distributivna pravednost dok najveću statistički značajnu negativnu povezanost sa zadovoljstvom poslom ima autokratski stil vođenja. Povećanjem distribucijske pravednosti se najviše povećava zadovoljstvo poslom dok povećanje autokratskog stila vođenja zaposlenika ukazuje na smanjenje zadovoljstva poslom zaposlenika hotelskih poduzeća na području Zadarske županije.This paper explores the determinants of job satisfaction among employees in hotel companies, focusing on personal and organizational factors such as personality traits, leadership style, and organizational justice. The aim of the research is to determine how these factors influence employee job satisfaction. Job satisfaction refers to the emotional response employees have to various aspects of their work environment and is crucial for their productivity, motivation, and long-term loyalty. Employees of hotel companies in the Zadar County area participated in the research. The results show a statistically significant correlation between leadership styles and employee satisfaction, as well as between different dimensions of organizational justice and employee satisfaction. Regarding personality traits, it is evident that neuroticism and extraversion have a statistically significant correlation with job satisfaction. The strongest positive statistically significant correlation with job satisfaction is found with distributive justice, while the strongest negative statistically significant correlation is with the autocratic leadership style. An increase in distributive justice results in the highest increase in job satisfaction, while an increase in the autocratic leadership style indicates a decrease in job satisfaction among employees in hotel companies in the Zadar County area
The Suffering of Children in the Homeland War
No full textDomovinski rat u Hrvatskoj rezultirao je velikim brojem civilnih žrtava. Tijekom ratnih sukoba, mnogi civili izgubili su živote, uključujući žene i djecu. Prema prikupljenim podacima, tijekom rata je ubijeno oko 400 djece, dok je više od 1200 ranjeno, a mnogi od njih ostali su trajni invalidi. U prvim godinama sukoba, velik broj djece bio je prisiljen napustiti svoje domove, bilo kroz izbjeglištvo ili progonstvo. Njihove kuće, škole, vrtići i igrališta bili su uništeni. Mnogi su bili svjedoci nasilja nad svojim bližnjima – prijateljima, rodbinom ili roditeljima – dok su neki ostali bez roditeljske skrbi. Njihova svjedočanstva i crteži svjedoče o nemoći, strahu i trajnoj traumi, dok je njihovo djetinjstvo nepovratno izgubljeno. Tema položaja djece kao žrtava rata – ostaje nedovoljno istražena i rijetko prisutna u javnim raspravama. Slaba razina kolektivnog sjećanja na djecu koja su stradala u ratu očituje se u činjenici da imaju jedino dva spomenika koja su posvećena stradaloj djeci, oba su smještena u Slavonskom Brodu. Nekoliko godina unazad pojavljuju se knjige, dokumentarni filmovi te znanstveni simpoziji koji istražuju sudbine stradale djece.The Croatian Homeland War claimed numerous civilian lives, including a significant number of children. According to collected data, around 400 children were killed during the war, while over 1200 were injured, many of whom were left with permanent disabilities. In the early years of the conflict, a large number of children were forced to leave their homes, either through displacement or exile. Their houses, schools, kindergartens, and playgrounds were destroyed. Many witnessed violence against their loved ones – friends, relatives, or parents – and some were left without parental care. Their testimonies and drawings reveal helplessness, fear, and lasting trauma, while their childhoods were irreversibly lost. The issue of children's position as war victims remains under-researched and seldom addressed in public discussions. The weak level of collective memory regarding the children who perished during the war is evident in that there are merely a couple of monuments dedicated to the children who were killed and injured, both of which are located in Slavonski Brod. Only in recent years have scientific symposia, books, and documentary films started to explore the fates of these children
The Impact of the Film Industry on the Development of Tourism in the Republic of Croatia
No full textHrvatska se u posljednjih nekoliko godina značajno etablirala kao atraktivna destinacijazafilmsku industriju, zahvaljujući svojim prirodnim ljepotama, kulturno-povijesnimznamenitostima i povoljnim uvjetima za snimanje. Veliki preokret dogodio se s popularnomserijom "Igra prijestolja", koja je snimana u Dubrovniku i drugim dijelovima Hrvatske. Ovaj fenomen doveo je do porasta broja turista, koji su željeli posjetiti lokacije gdje su snimanescene serije. Film i turizam imaju snažnu međusobnu povezanost, pri čemu filmska industrijamože značajno utjecati na razvoj turizma. Cilj ovog rada bio je ustvrditi kako je filmskaindustrija utjecala na razvoj turizma u drugim zemljama svijeta ali i istražiti utjecaj stranihfilmskih produkcija koje snimaju u Republici Hrvatskoj na razvoj turizma. Metodološki okvirobuhvaća analizu sekundarnih izvora uključujući znanstvene članke, izvještaje i statističkepodatke koji se odnose na filmski turizam u svijetu i Hrvatskoj. Drugo, korištena je metodapolustrukturiranog intervjua među predstavnicima turističkih zajednica i filmskih uredauHrvatskoj, kako bi se dobio uvid u konkretne primjere, njihova iskustva te izazovei mogućnosti razvoja ovog oblika turizma na nacionalnoj razini. Rezultati istraživanja pokazujuda se filmski turizam u Hrvatskoj još uvijek nalazi u fazi razvoja, dok su trenutni učinci stranih produkcija uglavnom indirektni. Iako snimanje filmova privlači pažnju i stvarapotencijal za turistički rast, neophodno je dodatno raditi na strategijama kako bi se ovaj oblikturizma efikasnije iskoristio u budućnosti.Croatia has, in recent years, significantly established itself as an attractive destinationfor thefilm industry, thanks to its natural beauty, cultural and historical landmarks, and favorablefilming conditions. A major turning point occurred with the popular series "GameofThrones," which was filmed in Dubrovnik and other parts of Croatia. This phenomenonledtoan increase in the number of tourists who wanted to visit the locations where scenes fromtheseries were filmed. Film and tourism have a strong interconnection, with the filmindustryhaving the potential to significantly influence the development of tourism.

Bibliotherapy in working with children in public libraries
No full textSvrha ovog rada je na temelju prethodnih saznanja o biblioterapiji i biblioterapijskim radionicama, kao i utvrđenih rezultata, odnosno stavova i percepcije knjižničara dobiti saznanja o mogućnostima primjene biblioterapije na dječjim odjelima narodnih knjižnica u Hrvatskoj, pozitivnim učincima te potrebnim kompetencijama za njezino provođenje. Većina knjižnica unutar organiziranih programa za djecu ima aktivnosti čitanja u kojima se nerijetko kao polazište koristi terapeutska i problemska slikovnice čime se, osim poticanja i razvijanja ljubavi prema čitanju, dobiva i biblioterapijska svrha. Cilj ovog rada jest ispitati ulogu i interes knjižničara u provođenju biblioterapijskih aktivnosti u prostoru knjižnice. Istraživanje se provodi metodom ankete. Anketnim upitnikom prikupljeni su podaci o upoznatosti knjižničara s pojmom razvojne biblioterapije, kao i o učestalosti upotrebe ove metode u radu s djecom. Ova saznanja mogu potaknuti zanimanje za primjenu biblioterapijskih radionica za djecu ili uvođenje određenih promjena u dosadašnje programe.The purpose of this reseasrch, based on previous knowledge about bibliotherapy and bibliotherapyworkshops, as well as established results, i.e. attitudes and perceptions of librarians, is to gain knowledge about the possibilities of applying bibliotherapy in children's departmens of public libraries in Croatia, its positive effects and the necessary competencies for its implementation. Most libraries have reading activities within organized programs for children, which often use therapeutic and problem picture books as a starting point, which, in addition to encouraging and developing a love of reading, also serves a bibliotherapy purpose. The aim of this work is to examine the role and interest of librarians in the implementation of bibliotherapy activities in the library. The research is conducted using the survey method.The survey questionnaire collected data on librarians' familiarity with the concept of developmental bibliotherapy, as well as on the frequency of use of this method in working with children. These findings can stimulate interest in the application of bibliotherapy workshops for children or the introduction of certain changes in the current programs
