Rural communities in the shadow of the metropolis: The County of Zagreb
Maja Štambuk
Sažetak
The Zagreb County, established in 1992,
consists of twenty municipalities and one
city. This means that most of the twenty
settlements in the immediate vicinity of
Zagreb gained the status of municipal
centre during the last administrative
reform and have just emerged from
anonymity, together with their (just as)
rural environs. The exception are small
towns that already had a developed
economy and a more numerous
population. These rural communities are
now starting on a period of economic and
cultural affirmation, they are trying to
shape a recognizable local society with all
the necessary elements on the outskirts of
an economically and culturally strong
national urban centre. Some
municipalities are already profiled, but
most of the municipalities in the Zagreb
County are small rural and agricultural
communities. This article analyses them
on the basis of published census data with
the intention of aiding the formation of
their (micro) identity, which must be the
foundation for their development.
