This thesis paper attempts to research the everyday life of people living in the area of Lake Vrana. In the past, the local community engaged in cattle farming and agriculture, nevertheless in the second half of the 20th century these activities gradually disappeared and became replaced by a new business activity - tourism. This new tertiary activity has affected the daily life of the local community in which the Public Administration of the Vransko Lake Nature Park plays a major role. The Park is committed to the protection of Lake Vrana, which is unique because it serves as an ornithological reserve, while also seeking to promote the Park for tourism-related purposes with the hopes of involving the local community in their projects. After the Republic of Croatia gained its independence, the local community started developing family-household farms for the purpose of contributing to the tourist offers of the Nature Park. The aim of this paper is to examine how the everyday life of the local community has changed since the second half of the 20th century in comparison to the present day, as well as to determine the impact of the Nature Park that advocates the return of livestock and agriculture in this area.
