Description
Drawing on the example of the Northern Adriatic, the article presents movement restriction measures
as preventive steps against contagious diseases. These measures (quarantine for persons suspected
as potential carriers of disease and isolation of persons infected) were observed from the early
modern period, when this area was the most exposed to plague epidemics, until the last decades of
the nineteenth century, when cholera posed a major health threat. Because the discussion centres on
coastal towns, primary attention is paid to maritime quarantine; however, the article also examines
connections between the sea and the hinterland, as well as the border position of this area, which
dictated the implementation of health measures in the towns and their wider surroundings.

- V prispevku so na primeru severnega Jadrana predstavljeni ukrepi z zamejevanjem gibanja, ki so služili preventivnemu ravnanju v boju proti nalezljivim boleznim. Te ukrepe (karantena za osebe, ki so potencialni prenašalci bolezni, ter izolacija okuženih) smo opazovali od zgodnjega novega veka, ko je bil ta prostor najbolj izpostavljen epidemijam kuge, do zadnjih desetletij 19. stoletja, ko je osrednjo bolezensko grožnjo pomenila kolera. Ker so v ospredju obmorska mesta, je poudarek na pomorski karanteni, a vendarle tudi na povezavah morja z zaledjem ter obmejni legi tega prostora, ki je narekovala izvedbo zdravstvenih ukrepov v mestih in na njihovem širšem ozemlju.
