Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad analizira promjene u fizičkom prostoru i društvenom životu ruralnih područja Sjeverne Hrvatske koristeći metodu dubinskih polu-strukturiranih intervjua. Kvalitativni pristup omogućuje sugovornicima slobodno izražavanje mišljenja, otkrivajući kompleksnost promjena koje su utjecale na te zajednice. Modernizacija infrastrukture, poput uvođenja struje, plina i interneta, donosi nove mogućnosti i viši standard života. Međutim, nedostaci u kanalizaciji, vodoopskrbi i prometnoj povezanosti s većim gradovima i dalje predstavljaju izazove. Iako se bilježe pozitivne promjene u dostupnosti osnovnih usluga, još uvijek postoje prepreke koje otežavaju kvalitetu života u ruralnim područjima. Društveni život također prolazi kroz značajne promjene. Tradicionalne obiteljske strukture postaju sve modernije, s naglaskom na veću neovisnost pojedinaca i rodnu ravnopravnost. Iako neki sugovornici osjećaju nostalgiju za tradicionalnim vrijednostima, drugi prepoznaju potrebu za prilagodbom suvremenim društvenim i ekonomskim uvjetima. Zaključno, istraživanje naglašava važnost kontinuiranog ulaganja u razvoj infrastrukture, promicanje socijalne povezanosti i rodne ravnopravnosti, kako bi se postigao održiv i prosperitetan razvoj ruralnih područja.

Abstract (english)

This thesis analyzes the changes in the physical space and social life of rural areas in Northern Croatia using the method of in-depth semi-structured interviews. The qualitative approach allows interviewees to freely express their opinions, revealing the complexity of the transformations affecting these communities. Modernization of infrastructure, such as the introduction of electricity, gas, and internet, brings new opportunities and a higher standard of living. However, deficiencies in sewage systems, water supply, and transportation connectivity to larger cities remain challenges. Although there are positive changes in the availability of basic services, obstacles still hinder the quality of life in rural areas. Social life is also undergoing significant changes. Traditional family structures are becoming more modern, with an emphasis on greater individual independence and gender equality. While some interviewees feel nostalgic for traditional values, others recognize the need to adapt to contemporary social and economic conditions. In conclusion, the research highlights the importance of continuous investment in infrastructure development, promoting social connectivity, and gender equality to achieve sustainable and prosperous development of rural areas.
