Abstract

Lika je regija iznimno bogata prirodnim resursima, ali razmjerno loše ekonomske i vrlo loše demografske situacije. Cilj rada bio je usporediti kvalitetu života i namjeru ostanka općine koja je prema indeksu razvijenosti rangirana kao iznadprosječno razvijena (Plitvička Jezera) s onom koja je ispodprosječno rangirana (Udbina). Za potrebe rada provedeno je terensko anketno istraživanje među stanovnicima obje općine te su analizirana demografska obilježja prostora i njegova funkcionalna opremljenost. Analize su rađene u MS Excelu i ArcMap-u. U radu su potvrđene velike razlike među ove dvije općine, a najviše se odnose na oslanjanje općine Plitvička Jezera na turizam što ima svoje pozitivne i negativne posljedice dok je općina Udbina turistički gotovo potpuno nerazvijena, ali ako je suditi po ispitanicima je otvorenija prema razvitku različitih djelatnosti što joj potencijalno olakšava daljnji razvoj.

Abstract (english)

Lika is a region with incredibly valuable nature, but in a particularly bad economic and demographic situation. The aim of this research is to compare indicators of quality of life and intent of residents regarding whether they will remain in the area or not, using the example of two municipalities in Lika: one that is ranked above average when it comes to development index (Plitvička Jezera) and one that is ranked below average (Udbina). For the purpose of this thesis, a field survey was conducted among residents in both municipalities, demographic characteristics were analyzed, as well as services provided. Analyses were performed using MS Excel and ArcMap. Paper confirms great differences between the two municipalities, most of which relate to the reliance of Plitvička Jezera on tourism, which has it's positive and negative consequnces, while the municipality of Udbina is completely undeveloped when it comes to tourism but judging by respondents is more open to the development of different activites which could potentialy make future development much easier.
