Some Aspects of Rural Urbanization in SR Macedonia
Risto Kartalov
Sažetak
In this study the author discusses the
problems of the urbanization process
in SR Macedonia during the
post-war period based upon census
indicators, and he compares them
with the time before World
War II. The author analyses two
aspects of the urbanization process,
the so called physical urbanization
and the cultural urbanization (i.e. some
aspects of the urban way of life in
rural Macedonia). His study is divided
into the following themes: number of
urban population as an urbanization
measure, transformation of the
traditional Macedonian village, some
characteristics of the Macedonian
village as a territorial community,
some forms of urbanization of rural settlements, and the conclusion. The basic conceptions elaborated by
the author in his study are as
follows. Through modern socio-
-economic evalutional courses the
traditional village in SR Macedonia
»retreats« before the progressive
modernized village. Due to socio-
-economic differentiation of rural
population, the rural (local)
community is today not just the
domicile of agricultural population, but
the domicile of other professions as
well. At the same time this means
that in SR Macedonia the agricultural
occupation loses also its economic
meaning for the preservation of the
rural community. The income coming
from other jobs and occupations (in
village and town) causes the change
in relationship between rural
population as well as in intrafamily
relations. Farmers-workers, pupils, students and
other persons, who are in everyday's
contact with the town, influence the
rural community in regard to the
way of behaving and living. Through
various forms of human
interrelations, consumable forms,
ways of spending free and leisure
time, through building projects and
similar, the village becomes all the
more urbanized. The village changes,
and in its physiognomy as a specific
territorial and social community it
approaches the town.
In future development of rural (and
urban communities in SR Macedonia
more attention should be paid to
directing and systematical
coordinating of the so called physical
urbanization. Special attention should
be given to cultural urbanization,
which has up-to-the-present remained
behind the physical urbanization.
