Urban and Spatial Sociology Development in Croatia
Dušica Seferagić
Abstract
The paper deals with a few interrelated topics at several levels.
Changes in the social context are examined (socialism, transition, new state, neoliberal
and wild capitalism, globalization). Connected with this is the redistribution of roles
of old actors and the appearance of the new ones, such as private investors and
the like. Changes in SPACE (in villages and towns and in their mutual relations)
consistent with social changes (deagrarianization, industrialization, urbanization,
rurbanization, rural-urban continuum...) are the next topic in the text. Then follows
the analysis of changes in sociology itself, that is, in urban and spatial sociology
(differentiation from rural sociology, concentration on the town, merging of both
disciplines into sociology of space).
The role of urban and spatial sociology is examined in publishing (doctorates,
studies, books, articles) and especially in the journal Rural Sociology and Sociology
and Space. The author tries to predict the future of sociology of space in research,
publications and new forms of cooperation with other close and similar scientific
disciplines.
