Sažetak
An enquiry carried out in 167
households and other data show the
powerful new processes of
deagrarization and deruralization
in this region. The traditional
self-sustenance agrarian structure
has almost completely decayed,
and important changes have also
taken place in the spatial
population distribution.
Agricultural production has lost its
earlier vital meaning, there is a
large number of mixed households,
and the transfer of the labour force
from primary into secondary and
tertiary occupations is becoming
increasingly rapid. The structure of
the rural population has
completely changed not only
according to activity and
qualification, but there is also an
intense process of aging. Only
settlements on the main trafficway
and in the immediate vicinity of
the commune centre are growing
demographically and economically
stronger, while all the other
villages, especially edge ones on
Kričko brdo and beside the Sava,
are rapidly growing older and
more or less dying out.
A strong factor influencing these
changes is the developed process of
industrialization with a
concentration of industry in the
commune centre (Novska) and a
recently started process of
dislocation (Lipovljani).
Industrialization speeds up
deagrarization and deruralization,
and also strongly influences
greater population mobility
(about 52% of the industrial
workers employed in Novska do
nov live in their place of work).
Such structural and spatial changes
have also resulted in a variety of
ways in which the population
satisfies its needs, i. e. in changes
in the standard of living, way of life and the attitudes people have
towards such questions. A
psychological investigation in to
values governing work and life has
shown that there are still deep
marks of tradition in the attitudes
of the population, but also many
modern conceptions, especial
in the outskirts of Novska.
