5U radu je pobliže razmotreno pulsiranje razvoja hrvatskoga zadrugarstva tijekom više od 150 godina duge tradicije njegova djelovanja, recentni razvojni trendovi i prostorno diferencirana razvijenost u suvremenom razdoblju. Rezultati pokazuju da je, unatoč dugoj tradiciji, hrvatsko zadrugarstvo u recentnom razdoblju suočeno s nizom razvojnih problema. Temeljni je uzrok takva stanja neodgovarajuća pravna regulativa -neusklađenost zakona o zadrugama i korelativnih zakona koji su relevantni za funkcioniranje zadružnoga poduzetništva, što se nepovoljno odražava na sve zadružne sektore, posebno na poljoprivredno zadrugarstvo kao njegov najrazvijeniji sektor. Rezultat je toga marginalan doprinos zadrugarstva gospodarsko-socijalnom razvoju demografski sve više destabiliziranih ruralnih područja države.Ključne riječi: zadrugarstvo, zadruge, poljoprivredne zadruge, Hrvatska, Europa This paper closely examines the fluctuations in development of agricultural cooperatives in Croatia during their 150-year-long tradition, as well as recent development trends, and spatially-differentiated development in the contemporary era. The results show that, despite the long tradition, contemporary Croatian cooperatives have been faced with a series of development problems. The main cause of that situation is inadequate legislation -a poorly adjusted law on cooperatives and correlative laws that are relevant for the functioning of cooperative entrepreneurship. This reflects unfavourably in all cooperative sectors, specifically agricultural cooperatives as its most developed sector. This has resulted in a marginal contribution of cooperatives to the socioeconomic development of the nation's demographically ever more destabilised rural areas. UvodSuvremeni ruralni prostor Hrvatske karakterizira više ili manje duboka kriza gospodarskoga, socijalnoga i demografskoga razvoja, koja se odražava u sve izrazitijoj atrofiji naseljenosti, posebno intenzivnoj u područjima ruralne periferije. O opsegu i dubini kriznih obilježja razvojnih procesa svjedoči podatak da se, prema postojećem indeksu razvijenosti, čak 58,2 % jedinica lokalne samouprave (upravnih gradova i općina) nalazi ispod praga od 75 % prosječne razvijenosti Hrvatske, od čega 10,5 % ispod praga od 50 % razvijenosti države.1 Pritom se -ovisno o geografskom položaju (posebno udaljenosti od razvijenijih gradova, kao žarišta prostornoga razvoja) te smjeru i intenzitetu razvojnih procesa -problemi i razvojni izgledi pojedinih jedinica lokalne samouprave znatno razlikuju. Te se razlike neposredno očituju u raznovrsnosti prostorne strukture, odnosno mozaičnom krajoliku ruralnih područja, a potkrjepljuje ih recentna tipologija ruralnih i urbaniziranih naselja Hrvatske (usp. Lukić, 2012).Negativni razvojni trendovi u ruralnim područjima uzročno su najuže povezani s krizom poljoprivrede, tradicionalno najvažnijom gospodarskom granom s nadređenim utjecajem na razvojne procese i stabilizaciju izvangradskih područja. Od početka tranzicijskoga razdoblja razvoj hrvatske poljoprivrede opterećen je ni...

The primary function of national parks (NPs) is nature conservation, but for the majority of them, tourism also plays an important role. Tourism generates significant incomes, but the benefits are often unequally distributed in space, as are the disadvantages. The karst regions are generally less developed terrains in terms of traditional livelihoods, but due to their special morphology, tourism offers great opportunities. Nonetheless, mass tourism can also pose increased environmental risks. In this article, we examine the above questions on the example of Krka NP, especially from the perspective of tourists, as we conducted a questionnaire survey with visitors. The results confirmed that there is a high degree of spatial inequality both in the awareness of attractions and the distribution of tourist accommodation. This fact has already been recognised by the management of the NP, and serious steps have already been taken to reduce inequality, but their impact is not yet significant enough. Based on the survey, tourism in Krka NP is determined by same-day visits. Tourists who come here primarily consider waterfalls, lakes and rivers to be the most important values of the landscape, while cultural values are considered less significant and even less known. Local products are virtually unknown in the NP palette, so this could be a direction for development. Another point that could be developed is the awareness of visitors in the field of karstification. As the survey was conducted during COVID period, its impact on tourism was also briefly examined. This impact was manifested in the fact that the proportion of retirees and tourist buses was very small, whereas the majority of visitors (90%) arrived in the NP as independent travellers. For one third of foreigners, COVID played a role in choosing Croatia as a destination. As for domestic tourists, two thirds chose to find a destination in Croatia because of COVID.

Based on two theoretical approaches-contact theory and threat perception theory-in combination with meaningful encounter and media perspective and using the example of two neighbourhoods in Zagreb, this paper aims to explore several issues related to asylum seekers: 1) the definition and perceptions of asylum seekers expressed by locals; 2) attitudes towards asylum seekers in relation to vicinity to an asylum seeker centre and contact with asylum seekers on the neighbourhood level; and 3) the relationship between attitudes and socio-demographic characteristics of respondents. The survey was conducted in the period of November, 2015 to January, 2016, using a systematic random sample (N=299) in two selected neighbourhoods of the City of Zagreb: Dugave and Trnje. Each neighbourhood represents a specific surrounding in relation to the proximity of asylum seekers. In terms of location and contact with the asylum seekers, significant differences were found in all obtained latent dimensions of attitudes towards asylum seekers and attitudes based on locational attributes regarding asylum seeker reception: Dugave residents (located closer to the reception and accommodation centre) expressed, in general, more negative attitudes towards asylum seekers and their reception in Croatia than their counterparts in Trnje. The specific timeframe (the 2015−2016 sequence usually referred to as "European Migration Crisis") and the spatial context chosen for conducting the survey allows for spatialised and comparative findings. The discussion further develops the perceptive role played by media in a context of highly-mediatised migration, and the nature of contact in shaping more positive or negative attitudes towards refugees and migrants.
