The summary inventory of the holding Community for Accommodation Višnjan 1956-1960

Abstract

The Community for Accommodation Višnjan was established towards the end of 1955 and it existed from 1956 till 1960. The headquarters was located in Višnjan and it had jurisdiction in the area of Višnjan. The Community for Accommodation Višnjan operated within the People’s Committee of the municipality of Višnjan which was also competent for the Communities for Accommodation Vižinada and Kaštelir. The People’s Committee of Višnjan operated between 1955 and 1960 when it was revoked by the administrative reorganisation and it fell within the competence of the People’s Committee of the municipality of Poreč. This meant that the Community for Accommodation of Višnjan was also revoked. The main activity of this community was the management of the residential buildings owned by people and social organisations and plots that these buildings are situated on. The Community for Accommodation was made up of the accommodation board, the council of the accommodation community, the residents’ council and the jury in charge of deciding who will receive the apartment. It was established for managing a fewer number of residential building in accordance to the distribution performed by the people’s committee. In a smaller municipality, like Višnjan, all residential building could be included in one community. When the People’s Committee of Višnjan was revoked, the material was stored in the record office of the People’s Committee of Poreč so the material was acquired by the Archives in two occasions: in 1973 and in 1974. The archival processing began in 2015 whereas the summary inventory was created in 2016. The plan for the arrangement was created according to The Regulations about the Plan for the Unique Archival Signs for all Governing Bodies in the Territory of the People’s Republic of Croatia (Official Gazette 7/58), and in part according to the content-functional model based on the work of the author. The material is divided into seven main parts (series): Archival tools, Organisation and management, Work and Business, Construction and accommodation affairs, Finances, Healthcare and Social care and Justice. The largest part of the material contains documents about accommodation so it represents a significant source for the study of accommodation issues in the area of Višnjan in the above mentioned period.
