Abstract

U Bosni i Hercegovini, tako i u Zapadnohercegovačkoj županiji, mnogi ekonomski, politički i drugi procesi su utjecali na promjene u prostoru, naročito na demografske i ekonomske, stoga je cilj ovog rada određivanje stupnja centraliteta naselja ZHŽ, njihovog gravitacijskog utjecaja te međuodnosa opremljenosti centralnim funkcijama i demografskog razvoja tih naselja. U radu su korištene različite metode prikupljanja, obrade, usporedbe i deskripcije podataka. Anketnim upitnicima su se ispitali stavovi stanovništva o mjestima obavljanja određenih funkcija, te o promjeni opremljenosti centralnim funkcijama u naseljima. Metodom demografske projekcije je određen broj stanovnika 2021. godine koji je zajedno s ocjenom promjene opremljenosti centralnim funkcijama u naseljima bio glavna varijabla u izračunavanju međuodnosa, tj. korelacije. Rezultati prikazuju neravnomjeran raspored centralnih funkcija u prostoru, s koncentracijom u općinskim i gradskim središtima, te pogoršavanje demografskih obilježja prostora. Isto tako statističkom metodom korelacije je utvrđeno da između demografskog razvoja i promjene opremljenosti naselja centralnim funkcijama postoji jaka i pozitivna povezanost. Može se stoga zaključiti da postoji međuodnos između opremljenosti centralnim funkcijama i demografskog razvoja, ali se moraju u obzir uzeti i drugi procesi koji utječu na ove procese u određenom prostoru.

Abstract (english)

In BiH, as well as in the West Herzegovina Canton, many economic, political and other processes have influenced changes in space, especially those of a demographic and economic nature. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to determine the degree of centrality of settlements in ZHŽ, their gravitational influence, and the interrelationship between the provision of central functions and the demographic development of these settlements. Questionnaire survey was used to examine the attitudes of the population about the places where certain functions were used, and about the change in the provision of central functions in the settlements. The demographic projection method was used to determine the number of inhabitants in 2021, which, together with the evaluation of changes in central functions in the settlements, was the main variable in the calculation of interrelationships, i.e. correlation. The results show an uneven distribution of central functions in the space, with a concentration in municipal and city centres. Furthermore, the results indicate the deterioration of the demographic characteristics of the area. A strong and positive connection between demographic development and the change in the provision of central functions of the settlement was also determined using the statistical method of correlation. It can therefore be concluded that there is an interrelationship between the provision of central functions and demographic development, but other processes that influence these processes in a certain area must also be considered.
