Socio-Economic Relations in the Village of Jalžabet Once and Now
Juraj Hrženjak
Sažetak
This work is an example of
multi-disciplinary investigation
in which several researchers
analyse particular segments of life
in a community, as in this case the
village of Jalžabet.
The history of this village, from the
end of the 18th century to 1945
tells of the poor conditions in which
the landless peasants of Jalžabet
lived during the following two
socioeconomic structures: feudalism
and capitalism.
With the agrarian reform in the
Kingdom of Yugoslavia 190 ha of
cultivable land was taken away
from the landlord, which after
1934 were given to peasants in
permanent possession. A great
number of new farms and
enormous parcelization counteracted
the effects of agrarian reform.
Following the Second World War
with the new new agrarian reform
the peasants of Jalžabet
particularly those of lower
economic status, were given the
remaining part of the landlords’
land. As the process of
industrialization in Yugoslavia
intensifies, thus the need for
agrarian products grows and it
consequently brings benefits to
the Jalžabet peasants.
In Jalžabet the maintenance of
small farms has been continued,
but people from Jalžabet have been
finding employment in
non-agricultural occupations
progressively increasing this
trend. This process resulted in the
growth of mixed farms having
income from two sources. This
js respectfully reflected in
educational, healt care, housing,
feeding and infrastructural aspect
of living for every inhabitant and
the place as a whole.
Particularly interesting are the
findings on the influence of
industrialization on economic
position and mutual relations of
the inhabitants.
In Jalžabet, after 40 years of the
post-war development there are no
more rural poor, or impoverised
peasantry. The place has been
entirely changed in socio-economical
and urbanistic aspect. Relations
within the family have been
changed, and changes in cultural
and educational level of inhabitants are present.
Old problems have disappeared.
New ones have been created such
as finding employment for the
young people who finish schooling
(outside the place or in the
urbanized part of the place),
better utilization of productional
potential, specialization of
production in the field of
agriculture and cattle breeding, and
plans for further cultural
development.
