The master's thesis deals with the military landscape of the town of Pula which was built before the First World War during the rule of Austro – Hungarian empire. It focuses on the police border - a linear military defense system with series of linked fortresses and other military buildings. The problems that have been identified are abandonment and vanishing of military landscape and military facilities due to their loss of original function. Therefore, the task is searching for ways to preserve it in space and re-use it. The concept of the design suggests the transformation of the abandoned military space in to a functional public space, while emphasizing its historical characteristic through the spatial design and design approach. The thesis analyzes the level of preservation of the police border and its spatial characteristics. The analytical part of the task is concluded by the evaluation process of the military landscape area where the value categories of space are determined, as well as the measures that define the way of further preserving or designing military landscape. Based on the evaluation process and the proposed program, spatial measures are proposed for further design of the area of the police border. The role of proposed design is to preserve and highlight the memory of the military history of the city and to preserve historical military landscape. At the same time, the proposed concept increases the quality of the living environment of the city's residents and offer facilities for sports, recreation, leisure activities and leisure. The new designed contents for Pula's military landscape are as follows: memorial park, memorial path, harbor and promenade along the sea, cemetery, city parks and playgrounds, sports park, sports and recreation areas and urban gardens.
