Abstract

Hrvatsko zagorje, kao i ostatak prostora Republike Hrvatske, karakteriziraju negativne demografske promjene. Isti takav trend vidljiv je u krajnjem istočnom dijelu Krapinsko-zagorske županije gdje je došlo do smanjenja ukupnog broja stanovnika prvenstveno zbog negativne prirodne promjene, dok migracijska kretanja variraju po godinama po jedinicama lokalne samouprave. Centralne funkcije naselja važne su za zadovoljenje osnovnih ljudskih potreba i održanja života na cjelokupnom području. U radu su korištene različite metode prikupljanja, obrade, usporedbe i deskripcije podataka, dok su se anketnim upitnikom ispitali stavovi stanovnika o mogućnosti korištenja centralnih funkcija u naselju stanovanja te zadovoljstvo brojem i kvalitetom funkcija na području jedinica lokalne samouprave. Rezultati prikazuju pad broja stanovnika istraživanog područja i općenito starenje, te zanemarivost migracijskih kretanja u obnovi ukupnog broja stanovnika. Ujedno, utvrđena je gusta mreža centara nižeg stupnja centraliteta, dok su ispitanici pretežno zadovoljni funkcionalnom opremljenosti naselja i jedinica lokalne samouprave u kojima žive. Budući da broj i značaj centralnih funkcija naselja ovisi o potrebi stanovnika, postavlja se pitanje u kojoj mjeri će se centralne funkcije održati u kontekstu nepovoljnog demografskog razvoja.

Abstract (english)

Hrvatsko Zagorje, like the rest of the area of the Republic of Croatia, is characterised by negative demographic changes. The same trend is seen in the utmost eastern part of Krapina-Zagorje County, where reduced population is evident as a result of (primarily) negative natural change of population, while migrations vary year by year in individual local goverment units. Central functions of settlements are important for fulfilling basic human needs and sustaining the life of the entire area. In the paper various methods of gathering, processing, comparing and describing data were used, while questionnaire survey examined the opinions of residents about the possibility of using central functions in the settlement of living and satisfaction with the number and quality of central functions in individual local goverment units. The results show population decline in the researched area and general ageing of the population, while migration movements are of negligible importance for population replenishment. At the same time, a dense network of centres with a lower degree of centrality was detected, while respondents were mostly satisfied with the functional capacity of the settlements and local government units in which they live. Because the number and importance of central functions of settlements depend on the needs of the residents of the entire area, the question is raised of how long central functions can be sustained in the context of unfavourable demographic development.
