As interest in rural tourism is increasing, there is greater potential to provide sustainable economic benefits for rural communities. This paper presents a detailed urban plan for the development of Hrvatska Electroprovreda (HEP) owned land as a rural tourist retreat with a focus on balancing the social, economic, and environmental needs of the community. The layout of the new project is presented graphically and textually and includes commercial, green, and transportation infrastructure. For building commercial infrastructure, which includes guest accommodation and recreational facilities, we selected locally available ecological construction materials. A comfortable indoor microclimate is achieved by using wood and straw for isolation, energy efficient appliances and heat pumps. Landscaping the greenbelt area with native plants such as oak, linden, willow, poplar trees and shrubs such as black and red currant, wild blueberries and raspberries conserve the ecosystem and potentially combat the climate change. The ecologically and economically sound water conservation plan includes both the installation of an underground rain water collection system and the reuse of wastewater. The wastewater treatment and purifying plan includes biological microbial waste water treatment and drip irrigation systems. Solar panels (photovoltaic cells) and a mini hydro power plant are to provide electric power for the system. The plan includes pedestrian and cyclists lanes, parking spaces, and electric vehicle power charging stations. This project has the potential to enhance the economic prosperity of the community while preserving the environment.
