Sažetak
The paper deals with the geographical analysis of the transformation and gravitational orientation
of the settlement of Mošćenica under the influence of the development functions of Sisak
and Petrinja urban centres. Mošćenica is an outlying settlement of the two towns developed
along the road which connects them. During the second half of the 20th century Mošćenica
was strongly urbanised, morphologically connecting Sisak and Petrinja in a unique con-urban
entity. After a short presentation of the demographic development of Mošćenica, the first part
of the paper attempts to establish to what extent Sisak and Petrinja have contributed to its
socio-economic, functional and physiognomic transformation. In order to establish the degree
of transformation, comparisons have been made with other urbanised settlements in the Sisak
and Petrinja urban region. The second part of the paper examines the actual gravitational
orientation of Mošćenica. While the transformation of a settlement is mostly influenced by
the town’s development of the work function, gravitational orientation also depends on many
other urban functions like education, health care, supply. For that purpose, a field polling research
was conducted which provided answers about the places which satisfy life necessities
of the population of Mošćenica. In conclusion, due to developed urban functions, Sisak has
a more prominent influence on the development and transformation of Mošćenica. Moreover,
even though Mošćenica is a part of the City of Petrinja, it is more closely connected to Sisak
where its residents satisfy the majority of their daily needs.
