Abstract

Predmet istraživanja ovoga rada jest geografska marginalnost, a glavni je cilj istraživanja izraditi metodologiju za identificiranje i analiziranje marginalnih područja Međimurja na prostornoj razini naselja. Razmatra se osnovni pojam, kompleksnost fenomena te indikatori podobni za određivanje marginalnih područja Međimurja. U istraživanju je uz primjenu GIS metoda korištena kombinacija kvantitativnih (eksplorativna faktorska analiza) i kvalitativnih (polustruktuirani intervju) metoda. Za eksplorativnu faktorsku analizu korišteno je odabranih 30 varijabli. Podobnost varijabli testirana je Kaiser-Meyer-Olkinovom mjerom te Barttletovim testom. Korišteni su slobodni programi otvorenog koda R, JASP i QGIS. Analizom je izdvojeno šest faktora pomoću kojih prepoznajemo karakteristične tipove naselja Međimurja: 1. prostorna koncentracija i ekonomska dinamika; 2. demografska dinamika i starenje stanovništva; 3. obrazovanost i ekonomska diversifikacija; 4. dostupnost centralnih funkcija; 5. tradicionalna ekstenzivna poljoprivredna proizvodnja; 6. stacionarni radni kontingent usmjeren na primarne djelatnosti. Na osnovi faktorskih bodova izračunat je međimurski indeks marginalnosti naselja (MIMaNa).

Abstract (english)

The research topic is geographical marginality, and the main goal of the research is to develop a methodology for identifying and analyzing the marginal areas of Međimurje at the spatial level of the settlement. The basic concept, the complexity of the phenomenon of marginalization and indicators suitable for determining the marginal areas of Međimurje are analyzed. A combination of quantitative (exploratory factor analysis) and qualitative (semi-structured interview) methods was used in the research using GIS methods. Selected 30 variables were used for exploratory factor analysis. The suitability of the variables was tested by the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure and the Barttlet test. Free open source software R JASP and QGIS were used. Through the analysis, six factors have been identified by which we recognize the characteristic types of settlements in Međimurje. 1. Spatial Concentration and Economic Dynamics; 2. Demographic Dynamics and Population Aging; 3. Education and Economics Diversification; 4. Availability of Central Functions; 5. Traditional Extensive Agricultural Production; 6. Stationary Work Contingent Focused on Primary Activities. Based on factor points, the Međimurje Index of Marginalization of Settlements - MIMaNa was calculated.
