Industrial planning in rural Croatia
Srećko Pegan
Abstract
The article presents the results of research
into factors governing the development
and spatial distribution of industry in rural
areas of Croatia. Calculating the quotient
of location and the regional factor
contributes to an optimal form of
secondary-function spatial distribution in
the process of spatial planning. The
quotient of location is calculated for 1981
and 1989 and the regional factor for the
period 1981-1989.. In 1989 the quotient of
location increased in comparison to that in
1989, especially in areas in which it was
below the republican average in preceding
periods. By comparing the quotient of
location with the regional factor, and
through further detailed research into
smaller spatial units, indicators are
reached about the advantages of locating
industry into certain regions. Important
goals and specific features of industrial
planning in rural areas include the careful
selection of location, limits in the selection
of production and its extent, and
establishing conditions for the protection
and preservation of the natural
environment with the purpose of
protecting the overall rural area.
