Abstract

U radu je istražena socijalno-geografska preobrazba Brinjskog kraja u razdoblju od 1961.-2001. Ona je prvenstveno bila uzrokovana industrijskom modernizacijom Hrvatske u drugoj polovici 20. stoljeća. U okviru toga razmotreni su čimbenici i oblici socio-geografske transformacije, osnove povijesno-geografskog razvitka, demografski procesi te potencijalne mjere i instrumenti za održivi razvoj naseljenosti Brinjskog kraja. U metodološkom instrumentariju u prvom je planu bila metoda analiza-sinteza, pri čemu su dominirale tabelarna i kartografska analiza indikatora preobrazbe. Kartogrami su izrađeni u računalnoj aplikaciji ArcGis 9.2. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju: 1. da je, zbog perifernog položaja, Brinjski kraj bio kasno zahvaćen modernizacijskim procesima, što je potaklo pojačano iseljavanje stanovništva tijekom polariziranog razvoja Hrvatske; 2. da je iseljavanje uzrokovalo brz proces starenja, depopulaciju i u konačnici demografsko izumiranje; 3. da u suvremenom razdoblju Brinjski kraj karakteriziraju osjetno zaostajanje za socio-ekonomskim razvojem Hrvatske i negativni procesi socio-geografske preobrazbe; 4. da najnepovoljniji procesi karakteriziraju Gornjobrinjski kraj, a najmanje nepovoljni Središnji brinjski prostor.

Abstract (english)

This work explores the socio-geographic transformation of Brinje region between 1961. and 2001. It is caused primarily by industrial modernization of Croatia in the second half of the 20th century. This included examining the factors and the types of the socio-geographic transformation, the basics of the historical as well as geographical development, demographic processes and potential measures and instruments for maintaining a population growth in Brinje region. When it comes to methodology, the most used was the method of analysis-synthesis, and within it, the most dominant were tabular and cartographic analyses of transformation indicators. Cartograms were created using the ArcGis 9.2. computer application.The results of the research show that¬: 1. due to its peripheral position, modernization processes came to Brinje region very late, and this caused increased emigration during the polarized development of Croatia; 2. emigration quickened the process of aging, depopulation, and eventually led to demographic extinction; 3. in modern times, Brinje region is substantially lagging behind when it comes to Croatia’s socio-economic development and is affected by the negative processes of the socio-geographic transformation; 4. the most unfavourable processes are characteristic for Gornjobrinjski area, and the least unfavourable are characteristic for the Central Brinje Area.
