Sažetak
The paper presents conceptual framework for the research project for the area of Jazavica and Roždanik villages in the county of Sisak-Moslavina, included in areas of special state concern. During the period from September 29th 1991, to May 1st 1995, these villages were occupied and Croatian population escaped (Čikić, 2002). Besides human victims, the villages suffered great material devastation in housing, economic and public buildings and municipal infrastructure. Reconstruction of these villages is perceived by authors as a wider development process, aimed in a long term at ensuring demographic stabilization and acceptable level of social and economic development. Under such framework the authors offer solutions to agricultural land regulation as for its consolidation, i.e. improvement of already consolidated areas, but neglected during the war. Solutions suggested for agricultural sector include such production structure which – based on comparative ecological conditions of the research area – takes into account needs of local and regional markets, including export orientation. The creation of production and economic systems in family farming in this rural area starts from production guidelines for farms with comparative advantages in resources (labour, land, knowledge), modern marketing, production economics, but also from postulates of sustainable agriculture and production practice that includes ecological standards. Based on these criteria, the production typology is suggested, that would involve, part of the farms in this area. Models of mixed economic structure are also proposed, including other economic activities, conditionally complementary to agriculture. Marketing of agricultural products is the actual problem of family farms in Croatia (Grgić, 1996), and also in the research area, due to external lack of market infrastructure, but also internal weaknesses, especially lack of producers' cooperation in distribution, processing and financial areas. This is included in suggested solutions that start from opinions expressed by potential participants, but also from developed empirical models of business cooperation (as co-operatives) adjusted to the local circumstances. Based on traditional and historical characteristics, but also contemporary requirements, the organization of rural space of Jazavica and Roždanik villages is suggested according to rural standards, with the emphasis on new programming taking into account the quality of space in which rural population lives.
