摘要：The debate on sustainable development has reached the point when it has almost been forgotten how intertwined its environmental, social, technological and economic aspects are. The article therefore first analyses the disharmony of natural ecosystems and human activities, and then the most well known proposals for their synchronisation. Internal inconsistency of the sustainable development model has been shown and the debate following it for fifteen years described. Specially analysed is the development of the disciplines environmental and resource economics. The hypocrisy of some proponents of theoretical and practical solutions as well as the enterprising spirit and uncompromising quality of others has been detected. In continuation the author discusses insularisation as a way of protecting Nature and a model of promoting sustainable development. It is demonstrated that the establishment of insulas of sustainable development is implied by the European Union methodology used for the creation and implementation of developmental programmes both on local and regional levels. The most comprehensive Croatian example of these attempts is the implementation of the National Programme for Island Development and the Law on Islands.
