Abstract

This article questions the developmental role of ethnology as a science and suggests a method by which the data obtained through ethnological research could be used with the purpose of creating a strategy for the development of rural regions. As a case study for the proposed ideas, I have used the example of Žumberak which, during the last century, has been experiencing rapid devastation of rural regions due to historical, geographical and socioeconomic regions. The author adapted the method SWOT-analysis, which he borrowed from the language of economy, and used it to make an overview of the current social conditions in Žumberak amd wider circumstances influencing it. He used the result obtained by the suggested method of SWOT relational diagrams for the creation of the experimental strategy of sustainable development of Žumberak region.
