“…In contemporary research in Croatia, it is worth emphasizing research that is directly or indirectly related to research in marginal areas: at the local level (Nejašmić, 2005;Popović and Radeljak, 2011;Nejašmić and Toskić, 2013;Feletar, 2014;Nejašmić and Toskić, 2016); research focused on land use change and the determination of landscape degradation as a feature of marginal areas (Horvat, 2013;Cvitanović and Fuerst-Bjeliš, 2018); an overview of the basic concepts of geographic marginality (Horvat and Toskić, 2017); research on social exclusion in the sense of marginalization (Šućur, 1995; Šućur, 2004; Šporer, 2004); a look at the historical aspect of marginal groups in Croatian medieval societies (Karbić, 1991); and the impact of the traffic marginality on the everyday lives of secondary school students in Zagreb (Gašparović and Jakovčić, 2014).…”
