Abstract

Grad Karlovac se s vremenom razvio u jedan od važnijih regionalnih centara u Republici Hrvatskoj. Povoljna geografska obilježja osigurala su mu dinamičan demografski i gospodarski razvoj kroz povijest. No, kao i većina gradova u Hrvatskoj suočava se s procesom depopulacije i starenja stanovništva. Domovinski rat je te procese još više ubrzao, a osim toga na njih su utjecali i brojni drugi faktori. Cilj ovoga rada je preispitati utjecaj gospodarskog stanja na demografsku sliku Grada Karlovca. Pri tom je posebna pažnja posvećena razdoblju nakon Domovinskog rata i posljedicama koje je on ostavio. Rad ukazuje na potrebu povezivanja demografskih i gospodarskih strategija razvoja s ciljem održivog razvoja i revitalizacije karlovačkog područja. Sukladno tome, na kraju rada predložene su mjere kojima se takav razvoj može postići.

Abstract (english)

Over time, Karlovac has developed into one of the most important regional centres in the Republic of Croatia. Favourable geographical features have ensured its dynamic demographic and economic development through history. However, like most cities in Croatia, it is faced with the depopulation and population aging processes. The Homeland War accelerated these processes, which were, in addition to that, affected by many other factors. The aim of this Thesis is to examine the impact of the economic situation on the demographic makeup of the City of Karlovac. In doing so, special attention is paid to the period after the Homeland War and the consequences the war left behind. The Thesis points to the need of connecting the demographic and economic development strategies with the aim of sustainable development and revitalization of the Karlovac area. Accordingly, at the end of the Thesis, a proposal of measures with which such development can be achieved is given.
