The article presents the activities of Dragutin Feletar related to economic history. One of the discussed segments is the development of enterprise research methodology in which a very important ...segment, in addition to industrial geography, was related to economic history. The article also presents how Feletar to a large extent viewed his regional synthesis of Podravina from the point of view of economic history, and he did the same in numerous articles and books about individual settlements. Regarding the relevance of individual books, the monograph of the Podravka company (1980) and numerous other books and articles should be singled out and divided into: a) Contributions to the history of banking (Varaždin, Koprivnica, Prva hrvatska štedionica (The first Croatian savings bank), etc.); b) Contributions to the history of industry - from the doctoral dissertation published as a book »Podravina Industry«, through articles on textile and wood industry in Međimurje, textile industry in Zabok and Zagreb, Sisak industry, Maribor, metal industry in Zagreb, wood industry Novska, food industry in Umag, almost all industries in Koprivnica, footwear and leather industry of the Varaždin region up to the definition of the development phases of the Zagreb industry and the periodization of the Croatian industry; c) Contributions to the history of mining (especially in the Podravina part of Bilogora); d) Contributions to communal activities and electrification (Komunalac and Elektra Koprivnica, history of electrification of northwestern Croatia); e) Contributions to printing industry (Međimurje, Koprivnica Podravina, Varaždin, Virje); f) Articles on guilds (Legrad, Koprivnica, Podravina, Donja Dubrava, etc.); d) Articles on cooperatives (Hlebine, Koprivnica Podravina, individual settlements); h) Articles on communications and trade (about the post office in Koprivnica, railways, old roads, rafting in Donja Dubrava, history of trade in Koprivnica).
Autori u članku analiziraju podatke o poplavi rijeke Drave 1827. godine koji su zabilježeni u pisanim povijesnim izvorima nastalima u naseljima koja su bila pogod strok signena poplavom, odnosno ...zabilježili su ih ljudi koji su doživjeli poplavu ili novinari. Poplava rijeke Drave 1827. godine bila je jedna od snažnijih poplava o kojoj je sačuvano relativno mnogo zapisa. Njen intenzitet je bio vrlo jak, osobito na prostoru izmed strok signu Maribora i Osijeka. Učinci poplave iz 1827. godine su evidentirani i uzvodno od Maribora, no trenutno istraženi podaci ukazuju da je na tome području poplava iz 1827. godine bila slabija od poplave 1823. godine. U posebnom dijelu prikazan je utjecaj poplave rijeke Drave koja se dogodila 1827. godine u naseljima u Tirolu, Koruškoj, Štajerskoj, civilnoj Hrvatskoj, ugarskim županijama Zala i Baranja, Vojnoj krajini i Slavoniji. Kako se većina drugih članaka o poplavama Drave 19. stoljeća do sada usmjerava samo na neke dijelova toka rijeke Drave, ovaj članak predstavlja i prilog istraživanja jedne od poplava na prostoru od prvog naseljenog mjesta nakon izvora pa gotovo do ušća. Poznavanje pojedinačnih jačih poplava na jednoj rijeci može poslužiti i kao prilog za istraživanje klimatskih promjena. Prema shemi za klasifikaciju intenziteta povijesnih poplava, su na osnovi klasifikacije, primarnih i sekundarnih indikatora predloženi nivoi poplava brojkama 1-3, gdje je 1 najniži, a 3 najviši nivo. Za poplavi Drave iz 1827. autori predlažu uvrštavanje u najviši
The authors of the article analyse the data on the flood of the Drava River in 1827, which are recorded in written historical sources in settlements affected by the flood, i.e. by people who ...experienced the flood or by journalists. The flood of the Drava River in 1827 was one of the strongest floods, about which relatively many records have been preserved. Its intensity was very strong, especially in the area between Maribor and Osijek. The effects of the flood of 1827 were also recorded upstream from Maribor, but data researched so far indicate that in that area the flood of 1827 was weaker than the flood of 1823. A special section presents the impact of the Drava River flood that occurred in 1827 in settlements in Tyrol, Carinthia, Styria, civil Croatia, the Hungarian counties of Zala and Baranja, Military Frontier and Slavonia. As most other articles on the Drava floods in the 19th century so far focus only on some parts of the Drava River, this article is a contribution to the research of one of the floods in the area from the first settlement after the river source to its estuary. Knowledge of individual severe floods of one river can also serve as a contribution to climate change research. According to the scheme for classification of the intensity of historical floods, based on the classification of primary and secondary indicators, flood levels are proposed by numbers 1-3, where 1 is the lowest and 3 the highest. For the floods of the Drava from 1827 the authors propose the inclusion in the highest level of floods - 3.
Consisting of 12 chapters, the book presents the rise and development of environmentalism, environmental history as a discipline, and the history of environmental movements in the Central and South ...Eastern European region from an international point of view. The chapters—written by scholars from Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Romania, Serbia, Greece and Turkey—cover a wide range of topics including the creation of protected areas, increasing environmental consciousness, the evolution of humanity’s relationship toward the environment, and perceptions of environmentalism by different disciplines. This international approach highlights the region’s complex development from the end of the eighteenth century through the twentieth century, with its unique blend of traditions. Three historically different traditions—the Habsburg, Ottoman and Venetian—converge in Central and South Eastern Europe, and this book emphasizes the subtleties of these sometimes intertwined traditions. The focus of the book varies according to both the different geographical environments characteristic of the region and the protagonists who actively participated in changing relationships toward the environment. However, what does not vary and is common to all the chapters is the historical approach, since the process has continuity, which the book accentuates. In geographical terms, the region that is the focus of the book, Central and South Eastern Europe, is the contact zone of the Alps, Danube, Adriatic and partially the North Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Throughout history, it was also the contact zone of the Habsburg, Ottoman and Venetian traditions. Those realities have resulted in a unique blending and intertwining of traditions and, therefore, relationships with and perceptions of the environment.
