Sažetak
Savica is a district of Zagreb with a population corresponding to that of a small town. The district has clear bounds with its neighbouring districts: the avenues and the Sava River. The objective of this paper was to determine the presence and development of commercial functions in Savica. The structure and range of commercial zones indicates that it is a classic example of a neighbourhood centre. There are no retail centres in Savica the likes of City Centar One, Avenue Mall, Arena or West Gate, which have a gravitational range of the entire City of Zagreb. The primary market for retail stores and services in Savica is the district itself and, to a lesser extent, the neighbouring districts of Kruge, Folnegovićevo Naselje and Staro Trnje. The level of attractiveness of parts of Savica for commercial activities has varied in recent decades. This study aims to determine the connection between the urban elements of the settlement and the distribution of commercial zones in Savica. In this regard, the importance of Lastovska St. is emphasised as the chief collector and connecting street and the accessibility of a suffi cient number of parking spaces in the spatial distribution of commercial zones. The study showed that the urban development premise of the 1980s concerning elevated pedestrian plateaus, and the commercial hubs of the district were erroneous in terms of commercial success and the attractiveness of commercial space.
