Sažetak
In this article the author analyses some functions of local identity and some aspects of its communication. This research explores the elemental symbols of Daruvar’s heritage by using the historical method and the survey method made in two different approaches and during the 2 time intervals. The research results revealed that respondents often chosed the springheads, along with two heraldic elements, the fort and the crane as a symbols of the Daruvar local identity. By analysing the historical trends in the Daruvar area author reveals five crucial meanings in the structures of long duration that are more or less interconnected: the forests / trees, springheads / water, healing / nursing, vigilance / preservation and protection / defence of the aforementioned values. All of these values were recognized by the noble family Jankovic and restored in this region. Found symbols of local history connect us with the identity, they strengthen self-awareness and connect us with the community. Therefore the author recommends the possibility to incorporate the new elements in present coat of arms to show the connection of the recognized symbols as the structure elements of long duration in local history.
