Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to inquire into the special relationship between the city
of Zagreb and the river Sava, with an emphasis on the year 1964 when a catastrophic
flood occurred in Zagreb and engulfed most areas around the river bank. This crucial
event encouraged people to start thinking more seriously about regulating the flow of
the river Sava. In the following decades, experts tried to find the most effective and
multifunctional solution for the regulation of the river, which would offer answers to the
questions of flood control, source water protection and urban development plans for the
area surrounding the river.
A brief overview of the urban and architectural solutions done to this day, shows
that there are two different outlooks on the relationship between the city of Zagreb and
the river Sava: A. regarding Sava as an urban city centre in Zagreb and B. regarding
Sava, as a separate green patch of land between the old and the new part of the city, next
to Zagreb.
One of the main questions of this thesis deals with how residents who live in the
proximity of the river and experts who participated in making programmes and case
studies concerning the development of the river, perceive Sava today. The results of the
semi-structured interviews show that most participants do not perceive the river Sava as
being at a high risk of flooding, while the experts put an emphasis on the risk of drying
of the underground fresh water supplies, which are endangered because of the
anthropogenic and climate factors affecting the river system. The results also show that
most participants understand the potential of the development of the river Sava, which
can improve the everyday contact of the residents with the river through various
interventions, while maintaining a particular emphasis on the public and recreational
function of the area.
