A CONTRIBUTION TO SETTLEMENT NETWORK ANALYSIS IN BARANYA : A PROJECTION OF SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL ; PROUČAVANJE RASPOREDA DRUŠTVENIH DJELATNOSTI U BARANJI : PRILOG PROSTORNOM PLANIRANJU

Abstract

In this paper an effort was made to define the actual state of the distribution of social activities in the Croatian part of Baranja in regard to the social functions' development trends and current demo-geographic occurrences. First part of the text studies the relationship between the distribution of social activities and settlements' (administrative units) net in Baranja based on the idea of spatial reflections of legislative settings. The research includes ranking settlements according to their population and according to the provision of social activities, resulting in the density of social activities. The differentiation of ranks following the listed criteria detected problem spots in Baranja's space. In the second part of the text a basis for social activities' growth potential was researched based on natural and structural population migration. Using graphic and tabular descriptions of the administrative units' hierarchy one can transparently distinguish Baranja's two urban focal points (Osijek and Beli Manastir). Results of the research described in the paper present a strong argument for further scientific analysis of the settlement network in Croatian parts of Baranja with the aim of differentiating their specific potential and evaluation of urban and rural "locuses". ; U radu se analizira aktualno stanje prostornog rasporeda društvenih djelatnosti u hrvatskom dijelu Baranje u odnosu na trend razvoja tih djelatnosti i suvremena demogeografska kretanja. Prvi dio rada istražuje vezu distribucije društvenih djelatnosti i hijerarhije naselja na osnovi pretpostavke o relaciji zakonske definicije društvenih djelatnosti i promatranog prostora. Istraživanje je rangiralo administrativne jedinice Baranje prema populacijskom zaleđu i opremljenosti društvenim djelatnostima čiji odnos je izražen gustoćom društvenih djelatnosti. Diferencija rangova po ta dva kriterija dovela je do detektiranja problemskih točaka u baranjskom prostoru. U drugom dijelu rada istražena je podloga za projekciju daljnjeg razvoja ...
