Abstract

Grad Zagreb, smješten između planinskog masiva Medvednice i rijeke Save, obiluje
karakterističnim prirodnim znamenitostima koje su igrale ključnu ulogu u njegovoj povijesti.
No promjene u urbanom razvoju i potreba za zaštitom od poplava dovele su do transformacije
prirodnih vodotoka. Brdski bujični tokovi pretvorili su se u podzemne kanale ili kontrolirana
korita. Međutim, suvremeni pristupi prostornom planiranju i ekološkoj održivosti sada potiču
nove načine revitalizacije vodenih tokova u urbanim sredinama. Na primjeru potoka Kustošak,
unutar ovog rada, istaknut će se načela suvremenog urbanog planiranja koja spajaju ekološku
i društvenu dobrobit. Analiza primjera dobre prakse ukazuje na mogućnosti uređenja koridora
potoka u urbanim sredinama, uz istovremeno očuvanje prirodne ravnoteže. Anketa provedena
među korisnicima potoka Kustošak razotkrila je njihove stavove o današnjem načini
gospodarenja potocima, kao i želje i vizije za revitalizacijom. Konačni rezultat istraživanja je
prijedlog rješenja obnove koridora potoka kao i smjernice za buduće korake. Revitalizacija
vodenih tokova vraća prirodu u urbani krajobraz i potiče ekološku raznolikost, a osim toga,
promovira održivi način života i stvara jedinstven gradski krajobraz koji uravnotežuje prirodne
elemente i ljudske aktivnosti. Koncepti ekološke održivosti podrazumijevaju korištenje
prirodnih rješenja kao što su zelene površine, obnovljivi izvori energije i očuvanje vodnih
resursa. Integracija ovih principa u revitalizaciju područja Medvednice i Save doprinosi
vitalnosti i održivosti grada Zagreba.
U konačnici, obnova vodenih tokova u urbanim sredinama predstavlja priliku za
stvaranje harmoničnog spoja između prirode i čovjeka, čime se grad Zagreb obogaćuje i postaje
primjer ekološki osvještenog i održivog grada.

Abstract (english)

The city of Zagreb, nestled between the Medvednica mountain range and the Sava
River, boasts distinctive natural landmarks that have played a pivotal role in its history.
However, changes in urban development and the need for flood protection have led to the
transformation of natural waterways. Mountain torrents have been converted into underground
channels or controlled riverbeds. Nevertheless, contemporary approaches to urban planning
and ecological sustainability now encourage new ways of revitalizing urban watercourses.
Using the example of the Kustošak stream, within this study, we will highlight the principles
of modern urban planning that combine ecological and societal well-being. The analysis of best
practice examples points to opportunities for organizing watercourse corridors in urban
environments while simultaneously preserving natural balance. A survey conducted among
Kustošak stream users has revealed their perspectives on current stream management practices,
as well as their desires and visions for revitalization. The ultimate outcome of this research is
a proposal for stream corridor restoration that provides guidance for future steps. Revitalizing
watercourses reintroduces nature into the urban landscape, promoting ecological diversity.
Furthermore, it advocates for a sustainable way of life and creates a unique cityscape that
balances natural elements with human activities. Ecological sustainability concepts involve the
use of natural solutions such as green spaces, renewable energy sources, and water resource
preservation. Integrating these principles into the revitalization of the Medvednica and Sava
areas contributes to the vitality and sustainability of the city of Zagreb.
Ultimately, the restoration of urban watercourses presents an opportunity to create a
harmonious synergy between nature and humanity, enriching Zagreb and setting an example
as an environmentally conscious and sustainable city.
