The Raša river valley is an area of rich history and great economic importance at the local and regional level. Throughout the 20th century, several interventions were carried out in this area, to make the terrain suitable for agricultural purposes. Due to unfavorable trends that have affected the rural area in Croatia in recent decades, much of the valley is now neglected and left to natural processes. This paper proposes guidelines for landscape design of the Raša river valley in order to revitalize it. The goals of revitalization are development of cultural-tourism and economic potentials, protection of landscape values and preservation of spatial identity. For this purpose, natural and anthropogenic factors of landscape were analyzed, landscape areas were identified and analyzed, and the activities suitable for spatial development were conceptualized. Based on the above factors, the problems, potentials and goals of development and protection have been identified. The work included cabinet and field research. With the cabinet work the known data of the valley area was reviewed, and a GIS database was created, which was used to analyze the natural and anthropogenic features of the area. The field research consisted of fieldwork during which the landscape was captured through photography and sketches. The acquired data were used in the development of the landscape typology.
