Abstract

Trčanje predstavlja sportsko-rekreacijsku aktivnost koja ne zahtijeva nikakvu posebnu infrastrukturu i/ili opremu i ne zahtijeva posebne vremenske uvjete. Dakle, mjesto u kojem se ta aktivnost odvija jest prostor općenito, a prirodni i društveni geografski čimbenici izravno ili neizravno utječu na bavljenje trčanjem. Glavni ciljevi ovog istraživanja su utvrditi socijalni aspekt utjecaja trčanja na prostoru Međimurske i Varaždinske županije te analizirati broj i prostorni razmještaj trkačkih događaja na prostoru te dvije odabrane županije i utvrditi utjecaj pandemije COVID-a 19 na promjene u navikama trkača. Prema odgovorima ispitanika koji su ispunili anketu, prilikom odabira trase trčanja važniji su društveni nego prirodni čimbenici, a ruralna područja su atraktivnija. U obje županije je znatan broj trkačkih događaja koji su raspoređeni cjelokupnim prostorom, a oni najposjećeniji vežu se uz županijska središta - Čakovec i Varaždin. Pandemija COVID-a 19 utjecala je na češći boravak u prirodi i smanjen broj sudionika na utrkama. Iako GIS na neki način može doprinijeti boljem trkačkom iskustvu, trkači su još uvijek premalo upoznati sa svim mogućnostima koje im takav sustav nudi.

Abstract (english)

Running is sports-recreational activity that does not require any special infrastructure or equipment and does not need special weather conditions. Therefore, the place where this activity takes place is the space in general and natural and social geographical factors directly or indirectly affect the practice of running. The main goals of this research are to determine the social aspect of the impact of running in the area of Međimurje and Varaždin counties and to analyze the amount and spatial distribution of running events in the area of these two selected counties and to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on changes in the habits of runners. According to the responses of the respondents who answered the survey, when choosing a running route, social factors are more important than natural and rural areas are more attractive. In both counties, there are a significant number of racing events that are spread over the entire area, but the most visited ones are connected to the county centers - Čakovec and Varaždin. The COVID-19 pandemic affected to the more frequent stays in nature and reduced the number of participants in races. Although GIS in some ways can contribute to a better running experience, runners are still too little familiar with all the possibilities that such system can offer them.
