Abstract

Analiza životnog ciklusa proizvoda pristup je koji sagledava neki proizvod od koljevke
do groba – počevši s prikupljanjem sirovina iz prirode za proizvodnju proizvoda te
završava s odlaganjem tj. kad se svi materijali vrate u prirodu. Danas je LCA jedina
međunarodna standardizirana metoda za analizu i procjenu ekoloških aspekata i njihovih
potencijalnih posljedica. Uz pomoć ovog alata u diplomskom radu prikazati će se kako
tiskane i e-knjige utječu na okoliš od same početka njihovih života (proizvodnje) te do
samog kraja (zbrinjavanja). Potreba za smanjenjem osobnog ugljičnog otiska i očuvanjem
okoliša sve je veća pa tako i kada su u pitanju hobiji u kojima ljudi svakodnevno uživaju.
Pitanje jesu li knjige ili e-knjige bolja opcija debata je koja traje godinama – za svaku
nađenu prednost jedne opcije, može se naći određeni broj nedostataka druge opcije te je
teško odrediti koja je opcija bolja. Da bi odabir bio pouzdan važno je znati navike
čitatelja, jer one značajno utječu na negativni doprinos utjecaja na okoliš. Ono što je
sigurno, svaki čitatelj mora se sam biti svjestan svojih čitalačkih navika – količine knjiga
koje pročita, čita li više noću ili danju, itd. – te onog što je njemu kao čitatelju bitno i
potrebno.
Diplomski rad se sastoji od teoretskog dijela u kojem je dan detaljan osvrt na teoriju i
istraživanja provedena, a vezana su uz temu diplomskog rada. Drugi dio rada je
istraživanje, koje je provedeno u obliku ankete, a dobiveni rezultati su obrađeni,
analizirani te predočeni u grafičkom obliku. Provedena anketa osvrće na hrvatske čitatelje
i njihove navike i pokušava dati uvid kako one utječu na okoliš kroz kupovinu, korištenje
i zbrinjavanje tiskane knjige i e-knjige odnosno e-čitača.

Abstract (english)

Life cycle analysis is a cradle to grave approach to assessing a certain product – it starts
with gathering raw material needed for production from the earth and ends with the
disposal. LCA is the only international standardized method used to analyze and assess
environmental impacts and their potential consequences. Through this tool, the master
thesis will try to show how printed books and e-readers affect the environment from the
beginning to the very end of their life. The need for reducing our carbon footprint and
taking care of the environment is getting bigger and bigger, even when it comes to hobbies
that bring joy to everyday lives. The question of whether printed or e-books are better for
the environment is still an ongoing debate – for every good thing found, there can be also
be found a certain amount of disadvantages in that particular product, which makes it hard
to decide which option is better. To make the selection reliable it is important to be aware
of the reader’s habits because they negatively contribute to the environmental impact.
What is certain for sure is that each reader has to be aware of their individual reading
habits – how many books they read, are they more of a day or night reader, etc. – and
what they need and find important as a reader.
The master thesis consists of the theoretical part, which gives a detailed review on theory
and already conducted researches connected to the subject of this thesis. Other part of the
thesis is a research that was carried out in a form of a questionnaire; results were
processed, analyzed and presented in a graphic form. The thesis shows Croatian readers’
reading habits and tries to give insight into how they affect the environment through
shopping, use and disposal of printed and e-book i.e. e-readers.
