Some Spatial Consequences of Social Processes in Vojvodina Village
Vojislav Đurić
Sažetak
In this article the author describes some spatial consequences caused by intensive social changes, especially of exodus, in Vojvodina’s village.
Peasants’ families, whose sons migrated to towns, move out of the village where they build house, usually with a larger garden around it. These gardens gradually enlarge and loose a character of »a holding in miniature«; now grain-cultures are grown close to the house, not out of the village as it used to be before. Houses near the main village road are being built close to each other, so the interstice traditionally between houses disappear. The largest number of migrants are former colonists. Their landed estates split into small plots. The majority of colonists' families are the s. c. old-aged households without labour power. They usually lease their land or sell it to the socialistic sector of
agriculture. So called »nonpeasants’ parcels« or gardens of urban households belong to peasants’ daughters who married nonagriculturists. Migration of young people has a negative effect upon the cultural activity in the village. Due to this fact there are s. c. »bare hamlets« in which live only old people, unfit for work, in a vacuum of social and cultural life. On the other hand immigrants in Vojvodina’s towns build »wild dwelling-houses« which disturb the regular growth of the urban mechanism. In 1966 in Novi Sad there were 1919 »wild dwelling-houses« registered. The process of spontaneous property polarization becomes strong. The stronger proprietors buy land and so surpass the agrarian land maximum. They hide this by s. c. fictional partition. It is interesting that just these peasants are against the concentration of land, because in this way their illegal land property (over maximum) would be discovered. In Vojvodina’s villages there are more and more private owners of tractors. They try to organize themselves into some kind of a cooperative in order to have more
rational cultivation of land and use of machinery. It should be regulated by the law, but this can not be characterized as socially negative phenomenon because it promotes the introduction of innovations and improvement of methods of production.
