Illicit construction - causes and consequences
Abstract
The paper starts from the assertion that construction based on building permit is one of the basic preconditions for establishment of the veritable rule of law. The causes and effects of illicit construction are described and discussed, and the role of regulations, destined to prevent such construction in its roots, is defined. Land use regulations applied in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Finland are presented and compared with Croatian regulations. The author recommends adoption of Croatian regulations that would solve this issue in an appropriate manner.
