URBANIZATION PROCESSES IN SLAVONIAN AND VOJVODINA RURAL AREAS

Sažetak
In investigations carried out on a random sample of 35 settlements in Slavonia
and Vojvodina 41 properties were analysed by means of the inter-correlation
matrix of C-coefficients and Xi-square.
The obtained results show that development and urbanization in Slavonia and
Vojvodina since the war have proceeded in stages: (1) the period from 1946—1960
which is marked by considerable immigrations from other villages; (2) the period
since 1961 which brought the beginnings of urbanization as can be seen from a
growing migration from towns and from the construction of houses of modern
materials (in addition to other factors connected with these two).
Rural settlements in Slavonia and Vojvodina are agricultural settlements in
which (on in the neighbouring villages) there exists an agricultural integrated farm. In most cases there is also some food industry based on agricultural produce
and only in exceptional cases shall we find other types of industry as well. The
presence of the integrated farm explains nine correlations and differences
(topography, trade and catering, socio-political and social, organized sports and
games, housing standards, migrations from towns) in those characteristics which
suggest the presence of urbanization processes.
Using composite indices for six factors of development, a cluster is obtained
which consists of the following: (1) trade and catering, (2) transport, (3) administrative,
cultural-educational and religious institutions, and (4) socio-political and
social institutions. With this group of factors, and depending on the level of economic
development and economic power, rural settlements become hierarchially
included in the urban system. Thus urbanized rural settlements rely on major and
more important centres (seats of communes, towns), while undeveloped villages
rely on more developed and urbanized settlements.
In Slavonia and Vojvodina one can distinguish three types of village: undeveloped
villages, traditionally developed and partly urbanized villages (without any
economic basis apart from private farming), and urbanized villages.
This clearly reveals the presence of urbanization processes in Slavonian and
Vojvodina rural areas.
