Abstract
This study focuses on the development of the Boka Kotorska region of Montenegro. As such it attempts to analyse the viability of sustainable development in the region and considers the role of vernacular architecture and ecology as contributory factors. The development of the tourist industry within Montenegro is a key element within the overall strategy for economic growth. This has obvious implications for the urban development of the case study area as uncontrolled deregulated expansion threatens the future viability of attempts to create genuine environmentally sensitive planning policies. Accordingly, this study raises and discusses many of the issues faced by stakeholders in implementing innovative spatial and architectural development.

Tatjana Kecojevic is presently a Senior Lecturer in Quantitative Modelling in Lancashire Business School at the University of Central Lancashire, U.K.
Tatjana’s research work has helped to develop her knowledge and skills within the area of applied statistical modelling, and in particular within quantile regression modelling, which is now regarded as a practical tool for researchers. Her current projects include developing graphical data interfaces for resilience assessment in architecture and urban form. As such, the area of her research enhances the opportunities for cross discipline research projects within the built environment.
