The aim of this thesis was to present the literary-oral tradition and cultural identity of the Klis region based on the oral traditions of the locals. Emphasis is placed on the study of human culture, customs, and understanding of social dynamics and interactions between people in these regions. The social structure and organization of this place was studied, the cultural customs, traditions, religious beliefs and values that are present and their influence on everyday life and interpersonal relations were analyzed. It was examined how people used to survive in this rural area and how, for example, agriculture, animal husbandry and crafts are reflected in social structures. Also, there was an effort to connect the practical part of the work with different examples from professional literature. The work mentions traditions such as mythical, demonological, historical and etiological, so there are stories about encounters with fantastic creatures such as fairies, witches, werewolves, etc. Encounters with such creatures, as well as traditions about the church and folk heritage of this place are told by five locals who spent their whole lives in Brštanovo and whose upbringing is based on these traditions. Some of the most important holidays such as Advent, St. Nicholas, Lent, Christmas and Assumption are described in detail and briefly compared with the urbanized customs of today. At the very end of the work, the characteristics of the former life are exposed, such as going to the countryside, the occupations that the locals were engaged in, the way they dressed and how they spent their free time.
