Sažetak
Kalnik, the area which covers the narrow territory of Kalnik foothills, has very favorable climatic and ecological conditions for grape growing and a long vine growing tradition. In the recent decades the vineyards sustained continuous reduction. This paper presents the results of the ”face to face” survey conducted among the rural inhabitants of the Kalnik area. The goal of research was to describe the current situation and to identify development obstacles and opportunities for the revitalization of wine growing in the Kalnik area. The survey was conducted on a sample of 48 respondents in November and December 2010. The data then processed by standard statistical techniques. Results show that 75% of respondents find the current situation of wine groving in the Kalnik area bad and 20% extremely bad. The main reasons that situation are the age of villages, migration and the disinterest of rural youth for wine growing and also the bad situation in Croatian agriculture. The interest in investing in the grape and wine production was expressed by only 15% of respondents. According to their opinion, the main obstacles for the revitalization of wine growing are the lack of financial investments, the fragmentation of land areas and disorganized buy up of grapes and wine. They consider that rural tourism has the greatest prospect in the development of the Kalnik area and that it would encourage the revitalization of grape and wine production.
