Equipment of Peasant Farms and Rural Households in Žumberak
Ivan Magdalenić
Abstract
The article shows some of the results of
research into 122 rural households in
Žumberak. The farms are very poorly
equipped with modern means of
production, the households only slightly
better with modern household appliances.
Conditions are worse in hosueholds whose
income depends more on income from
agriculture. Considering overall research
results (including those that are not
mentioned in this article), the author
concludes that Žumberak cannot be
revitalized without the help of broader
society, and that agriculture cannot be the
only activity (without other sources of
income) on which the development of
that region can be based.
