Socioeconomic change and possibilities of rural development
Milan Župančić
Sažetak
In the past several decades the Croatian
village went through a process of
transition. This brought both desirable
and undesirable changes and negative
consequences. The author considers that
exessive deagrarization and uncontrolled
rural exodus resulted in great rural
depopulation and devitalized the
agricultural population.
The agricultural population decreased to
the level that today exists in developed
countries, but without the accompanying
transformation of agricutural structure.
The number of peasant farms is still very
great. Small farms predominate, marginal
from the aspect of modern agriculture. A
special question is how to achieve an
agricultural structure that will enable the
greater development not only of peasant
agriculture but of other branches of the
rural economy, too. The author indicates
possible solutions.
War destruction in many village regions
has additionally burdened overall rural
development. It seems that differences in
development among various rural regions
have increased, which will be strongly
reflected on rural development in
Croatia.
