Summary: Construction of the Geological map of Republic of Croatia is the continuation of systematic geological investigations in Croatia. It is based on lithostratigraphic classification. It's aim is systematic research of homogenous rock complexes with their complete inner contents, as a product of specific realms and conditions or their renewal in time and spece. Because of the diferences inside particular regions, specific evolutions, presence of volcanogeneous and eruptive rocks, tectonic evolution and style, destruction and resedimentation, occurence of metalic and nemetalic row materials, energetic resoruces, etc., it can be inferred that the Geological map expresses features of the region and have the character of the expert map of differentiated contents. The complexity of the map contents includes different methods and specialites during its construction. Materialized effective connection between scientific and educational processes integrates interests and objects of fundamental and specific investigations. It enables maintainance and development of peculiar professional and scientific personall which is necessary due to the fact that the map explores the national teritory, whose specifiities usually are not comparable with other. The aim of the project is the map based on the previously described concepts in the scale 1:50.000. It represents the basis for the evaluation of the geologic potentiality of the region or whole territory. It also represents the basis for construction of specialised geological and other maps and specific invenstigations. Gruaduality and thooooroughness of investigation are priorit during the map construction rather than partial investigations which are cumulatively expensive and give no adequate results. Realisation of entire project is based on terrain investigation, office processing, and laboratory researches.

Keywords: Geological map 1:50.000, Republic Croatia, Formation's analyse

Research goals: The new Geological map is based on formation analysis and is the continuation of basic geological investigations. It includes systematic detailed regional investigations whih gives oppoortunity to further and more complete familiarity with the entire territory of the Republic of Croatia. The map aims toward objective and fact-based scientific comprehension and objective valuation of space, which makes the basis for usage and protection of all the natural resources. The significance of mapping is very clear from the scientific, educational and econimal aspects, taking into consideration that the construction of geological maps is a process with all the characteristics of basic scientific work and fundamental form of geological investigations, which methodologicaly represents almost unique way of universal, systematic and organised gathering of rellevant facts, their elaboration and interpretation. The close connection between the map construction and the aim of practial needs, should be studyed as specifities of particular regions and opportunities they give. Geological map is because of these reasons thematic by its contents, and it adapts to the features of particular region and have a character of specific map of differentiated contents. Taking into consideration investigations programmed according to geologically homogenous or similar characteristic, i.e. natural geological units, the borders of investigations are not limited in advance. The basic contribution from the syntheses and evaluation of the results realized by terrains and laboratory researh, would be graphically presented by the geological map based on lithostratigraphic analysis, scale 1:50.000. The geological map based on the previously described concepts shall be the basis for the construction of series of specialized geological and other maps, regional planning and for the evaluation, of the complete raw material and energy potential of the Republic of Croatia, which is so far based on nonmetals, oil, gas and geothermic potentiality of some parts of Croatia.
