Urbanisations as an Element of Cultural Transformation
Alija Hodžić
Sažetak
Two processes of the integration
of the peasantry into the global
society are especially strong in
post-war Yugoslav development:
industrialisation and urbanisation.
The process of industrialisation
influences the peasantry in
two ways: through their mass inclusion
in non-agricultural activities
(leaving agriculture and the
village, or just partly leaving agriculture
and remaining to live in
the village), and also through the
industrialisation of agricultural
production itself. Industrialisation
processes and their intensity
had an essential influence on the
penetration of certain forms of
urbanisation processes in the village,
and on life the village in general.
Spontaneous development in the
social organization of space changed
the »picture« of the village
and of the rural environment
completely, and in a relatively
short time. Some villages are dying
out because they do not even
have any more aged households,
and others are disappearing through
administrative decisions, because
they have become socially
and spatially integrated with
towns.
A higher standard of living in
households results in the urbanisation
of whole settlements. On
the contrary, if the standard of
living is low other characteristics
of urbanisation are also as a rule
missing. There is an order of priority
according to which innovations
spread into the village and
urban characteristics and way of
life are accepted. Peasants take
up innovations that are important
in everyday life faster and in
greater numbers. This includes material goods, procedures and
ideas that include production, lining,
nutrition, clothing — all directly
linked with a better life.
It could thus be said that the
modernisation of the peasant
household and farm come before
the modernisation (urbanisation,'
of the village as a settlement.
Only when production and the
standard of liviing in the village,
reach a certain level, does its
population feel the need to equip
their settlement an establish its
better links with its neighbourhood.
