Abstract

U suvremenom društvu, suočenom s rastućim ekološkim izazovima, institucije poput knjižnica igraju ključnu ulogu u promicanju ekoloških principa i održivog načina života. Ovaj diplomski rad naglašava važnost zelenih knjižnica kao inicijativa koje pridonose transformaciji društvenog razmišljanja i djelovanja prema okolišu. Fokus je na knjižnici u slovenskom gradiću Ormožu, koja se ističe kao primjer dobre prakse u implementaciji održivih strategija. Kroz etnografski pristup, koristeći se terenskim radom, promatranjem i analizom, istražuje se kako održive prakse u toj knjižnici utječu na lokalnu zajednicu. Također, rad se osvrće na primjere zelenih knjižnica u Hrvatskoj, analizirajući različite pristupe koji pridonose smanjenju ekološkog otiska i podizanju svijesti o održivosti. Cilj je istražiti utjecaj ovih praksi na društvo i njihovu ulogu u poticanju održivog razvoja.

Abstract (english)

In contemporary society, faced with escalating ecological challenges, institutions such as libraries play a pivotal role in promoting ecological principles and sustainable lifestyles. This thesis underscores the importance of green libraries as initiatives contributing to the transformation of societal thinking and actions towards the environment. The focus is on the library in the Slovenian town of Ormož, which stands out as an exemplar of best practices in the implementation of sustainable strategies. Through an ethnographic approach, employing fieldwork, observation, and analysis, this study explores how sustainable practices within this library impact the local community. Additionally, the thesis reviews examples of green libraries in Croatia, analyzing various approaches that contribute to reducing ecological footprints and raising awareness of sustainability. The aim is to investigate the impact of these practices on society and their role in fostering sustainable development.
