U radu se analizira intenzitet turizma u vodećim hrvatskim turističkim gradovima i općinama. Odabrano je dvadeset pet gradova i općina prema kriteriju da su u 2016. godini ostvarili više od milijun ...ukupnih noćenja turista. Prema prostornom rasporedu, deset je takvih gradova i općina u Istri, šest na Kvarneru, osam u Dalmaciji, a jedna u Središnjoj Hrvatskoj. Vodeći gradovi i općine 2016. godine u svojoj su ponudi imali 48 % turističkih postelja u komercijalnim smještajnim objektima, a zajedno su ostvarili 57 % ukupnih turističkih dolazaka i 54 % ukupnih noćenja Republike Hrvatske. U analizi intenziteta turizma upotrebljavani su sljedeći pokazatelji: ukupan broj turističkih postelja, ukupan broj dolazaka turista, ukupan broj noćenja turista, procjena broja stanovnika općina i gradova na kraju 2016. godine prema podacima Državnog zavoda za statistiku te površine općina i gradova prema podacima Državne geodetske uprave. Navedeni podaci upotrebljavani su za izračun stopa turističkog intenziteta (TIR), stopa turističke penetracije prema ukupnom broju noćenja turista (TPR), stopa turističke gustoće prema ukupnom broju dolazaka i noćenja turista (TDR) i koeficijenata turističke funkcionalnosti (CTF). Rezultati analize proistekli iz bodovanja svake pojedine stope pokazali su da najveći intenzitet turizma među vodećim gradovima i općinama Republike Hrvatske imaju općine Funtana i Tar-Vabriga na zapadnoj obali Istre te Općina Medulin na krajnjem jugu Istre. Najmanji intenzitet turizma prema bodovanju stopa imaju veliki gradovi Zagreb, Šibenik i Zadar. Terensko istraživanje i intervju s predstavnicom Turističke zajednice općine Funtana pokazali su da utvrđeni intenzitet turizma nije ugrozio održivost općine, da jača lokalno gospodarstvo potičući zapošljavanje, stimulira očuvanje tradicije te da nema konfliktnih odnosa turista i domaćeg stanovništva.
Porast udjela starog stanovniÅ¡tva jedno je od glavnih obilježja demografskih kretanja u razvijenim zemljama 21. stoljeća. Projekcije predviÄ‘aju da će se u Europi do 2050. godine broj osoba ...starijih od 65 godina udvostruÄiti, dok će se broj starijih od 75 godina utrostruÄiti. Ovakva demografska slika dovodi do povećanih zdravstvenih potreba i zahtjeva osoba starije životne dobi te stavlja izazove pred sustav zdravstva, socijalne skrbi i povezanih sektora u brizi za starije u svrhu povećanja kvalitete života, produljenja samostalnosti te smanjenja troÅ¡kova skrbi. Koncept integrirane zaÅ¡tite na lokalnoj razini podrazumijeva povezivanje neformalne i formalne infrastrukture u kojoj druÅ¡tvo te socijalne i zdravstvene organizacije meÄ‘usobno suraÄ‘uju. Za utvrÄ‘ivanje potreba u skrbi o starijim osobama provedene su fokus grupe u gradu Rijeci, sa svim dionicima koji sudjeluju u skrbi za osobe starije životne dobi te s osobama starije životne dobi (75+). Obuhvaćene teme u fokus grupama bile su socijalna i zdravstvena zaÅ¡tita, izazovi starenja i skrbi za osobe starije životne dobi, padovi, koriÅ¡tenje lijekova, usamljenost, koji ukazuju na stvarne potrebe dionika u sustavu skrbi o starijim osobama, kao i stvarne potrebe osoba starije životne dobi. Kvalitativnom obradom podataka dobili smo razliÄita miÅ¡ljenja sudionika skrbi o osobama starije životne dobi, kao i miÅ¡ljenje samih starijih osoba, koja nam predstavljaju polaznu toÄku odluÄivanja o mogućim potrebnim intervencijama s ciljem povećanja godina života u dobrom zdravlju.
Polarisation processes, which began in Croatia in the 1950's, resulted in disparate socio-economic development, in an uneven spatial distribution of the population, and in a concentration of people, ...jobs and housing in urban settlements. Coastal cities, as hubs and agents of socio-economic development, in their regions became focal points for the concentration of the population, while islands and hinterland areas suffered depopulation and demographic ageing. Intense in-migration had a positive influence on the demographic development of coastal cities. They became hotbeds of bioreproduction and up to the most recent intercensus period (1991–2001) displayed dynamic population growth. However political and economic changes in this recent period, together with the effects of the war, deepened and accelerated increasingly unfavourable demographic processes, which were reflected in an overall reduction of the population of coastal Adriatic cities, as well as in a deterioration of its structure. Decreasing fertility, demographic ageing and changes in life values brought about a transformation of the family, and hence changes in the size of households and in the relations among family members. The general trend today involves a gradual reduction in the number of household members, and a continuous increase in the number of two and one-member households.
This paper seeks to examine the criminal court records mentioning insults from three Dalmatian late medieval towns: Trogir, Zadar, and Dubrovnik. Besides that, it connects the prosecution of insults ...with the formation of public opinion by means of rumours (fama publica). Namely, verbal off ense was a public act and because of that, the knowledge about it spread in the community. In some cases, one can even assume that these insults were strategic attempts to endanger someone’s honour, and thus his social status – because the latter depended on the perception of someone’s honour. This paper also analyses the differences between insults directed at men and women, and what this meant for the perception of their honour. In general, women were insulted by references to their immoral sexuality. Men, on the other hand, were accused of being liars or thieves. Further on, by analysing these criminal records, it is possible to reach certain conclusions about the relations among different social groups and the ways in which social cohesion between the nobles and the commoners was created in medieval towns. In case of Dubrovnik, one can see that the nobility was not privileged in the judicial sphere. The analysis of medieval insults provides us with new possibilities of understanding the medieval society and a basis for its future research.
In the past, craftspeople contributed to a great extent to the economic development of Bjelovar and the towns in the today small, but once rather large county, which included wider areas of Bjelovar ...and Križevci. Since Bjelovar was the centre of the Varaždin Military Border, which first started with the demilitarisation in 1871, Bjelovar and its accompanying towns of Koprivnica and Križevci, as well as Daruvar at the turn of the century, benefited the most from economic development. Craftspeople were through their multifold activities a part of this development in the period 1871–1941. Limited to family business, livelihood from crafts was very insecure and of brief duration. Without joining in an association, they could not have survived at all, since as of the rule of Khuen Héderváry, the attitude towards craftpeople was rather inferior in comparison with industry and tradespeople. In the period 1884–1931, Croatian craftspeople had to operate pursuant to the Crafts Act, which was infavourable to them. Subsequently, as of 1932, pursuant to the Trades Act of that year, they even had to change the name of their profession to tradespeople. They were joined within the Chamber of Trades in Zagreb and Osijek, or rather within Yugoslav Chamber of Trades. Though craftspeople from Bjelovar, Daruvar, Grubišno Polje, Garešnica and Čazma shared a similar history and opened their shops to meet the needs of the local population, it was only the town of Bjelovar that as early as in 1891 had craftspeople of nearly all professions. It thereby met the needs of other smaller fair centres, municipalities, and towns as well, except for Koprivnica and Križevci, which were included in the county until 1918, but developed parallel with Bjelovar thanks to their position on the railway line. In early capitalism, craftspeople succeeded the guilds and took over their role in between trade and industry. However, in developed monopolistic capitalism, they became a surplus, as standardised goods produced in factories were sold by wholesale. Craftspeople thus became a surplus that only educated workpower for shops and factories. The ruin of craftspeople had been cut to the very core of the regulations and dependent on executive orders of the regime.
