Abstract: The main purpose of the mountain ski centers is to meet the needs of recreation and psychophysical rest. This requires large space advantage, despite the existence of various infrastructure, environmental and socio-psychological advantage that would allow recovery of human organism. However, due to the system disorganization these facilities are very often largely usurped so that their original role is ignored. One of the biggest problems for the future tourism development of Mount Vlašić is inadequate land management, which has resulted in the construction of a large number of illegal facilities that contribute to the physical and ecological burden of the mountain. Through the paper current situation on Vlašić will be assessed, and presented natural characteristics, resources and potentials, as well as the cultural heritage of the study area. Also, analysis of the current area usage, planning organization and the environment will be carried out, applying new methodological approaches in the planning and management of space, through the significant usage of GIS. Space organization and arrangement are viewed from the aspect of natural resources exploitation emphasising tourism development and the construction of sports, recreation and other infrastructure systems. Main problem, is the fact that when planning the development of tourism and tourism infrastructure in the ski center Vlasic, carrying capacity, which will be, among other things, presented in the work was not taken into consideration.
