  • Croatia. 'Virovitica on Cadastral Maps'
    CO-295 VIROVITICA ON CADASTRAL MAPS KICINBACI S. State geodetic administration, VIROVITICA, CROATIA Virovitica is a town in northern Croatia with a population of 15,000. The town is situated in the valley of the Drava river, in the southern part of the Pannonian Basin. The year 1234, when Virovitica was made a free trade town, is regarded the town’s founding year. The regular form of Virovitica indicates that the town was founded on a crossroads of two important traffic routes. The first route runs from the West to the East parallel with the Drava river, which is a tributary to the Danube; the second route runs from the North to the South. Being situated near the Hungarian border Virovitica also has a Hungarian name – Veröcé, which means “a small door”, a name that reminds of that there is a passage there from the Drava river valley to the Sava river valley through the Bilogora mountainous range. Some of the wealthy landowners had made the maps of their own estates even before any systematic survey was done, but these maps are not dealt with in this paper. The subject matter here is the systematic surveys and maps that are the result of the surveys. My wish was to analyse our cartographic heritage and link it with modern technologies. THE 19th CENTURY The Virovitica Town Museum keeps some of the cadastral records from the time of Emperor Joseph II, when the survey of the 18th century locality of Virovitica was carried out. This preserved data does not contain any graphic supplements.

  • Accounting for Regional Poverty Differences in Croatia: Exploring the Role of Disparities in Average Income and Inequality
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Accounting for regional poverty differences in Croatia: Exploring the role of disparities in average income and inequality Rubil, Ivica The Institute of Economics, Zagreb 16 January 2013 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/43827/ MPRA Paper No. 43827, posted 16 Jan 2013 11:16 UTC ACCOUNTING FOR REGIONAL POVERTY DIFFERENCES IN CROATIA: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF DISPARITIES IN AVERAGE INCOME AND INEQUALITY Ivica Rubil The Institute of Economics, Zagreb January 2013 Abstract The prevalence of poverty in a given population is determined by both the level of average income and the shape of income distribution. Accordingly, the difference in poverty between two populations can be attributed to disparities in their average incomes and in the levels of income inequality. In this paper, we decompose the differences in relative poverty between each of the twenty-one Croatian counties and Croatia as a whole into the contributions of the mean income and income inequality, using the Household Budget Survey data for 2010. The decomposition framework that we utilize here is one usually applied for decompositions of intertemporal poverty changes, and is based on the concept of Shapley value from cooperative game theory. Poverty is measured by three conventional measures – the headcount ratio, the poverty gap, and the squared poverty gap – and robustness of the results to switching from one measure to another is discussed. The results of decompositions show that in most cases both the mean income and inequality differences contribute to poverty variation across the counties, relative to poverty in Croatia as a whole. When poverty is measured by the headcount ratio, the income contribution dominates the inequality contribution, while when we switch to the other two measures, which give more weight to poorer among the poor, the inequality contribution starts to dominate.

  • Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube Interfluve at the End of the 6600–6000 BC Period of Rapid Climate Change> a New Solutio
    Documenta Praehistorica XLIII (2016) Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve at the end of the 6600–6000 BC period of Rapid Climate Change> a new solution to an old problem Katarina Botic´ Institute of Archaeology, Zagreb, CR [email protected] ABSTRACT – The idea of the Neolithisation of the Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve has undergone very little change since S. Dimitrijevi≤'s time. Despite their many shortcomings, new archaeological exca- vations and radiocarbon dates of Early Neolithic sites have provided us with new insight into the process of Neolihisation of this region. Using the recently published work by B. Weninger and L. Clare (Clare, Weninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014) as a starting point, the available radiocarbon and archaeological data are used to build up a time frame comparable to the wider region of Southeast Europe and climate conditions for specific period. The results fit the model of Neolithisation well (Weninger et al. 2014.9, Fig. 4), filling in the geographical gaps. IZVLE∞EK – Premise o neolitizaciji v medre≠ju Save, Drave in Donave se od ≠asa S. Dimitrijevi≤a niso veliko spremenile. Nova arheolo∏ka izkopavanja in radiokarbonski datumi zgodnjega neolitika so, kljub mnogim pomanjkljivostim, prinesli nove vpoglede v proces neolitizacije na tem obmo≠ju. Za os- novo pri interpretaciji smo uporabili nedavno objavljena dela B. Weningerja in L. Clarea (Clare, We- ninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014), dosegljive radiokarbonske datume in arheo- lo∏ke podatke pa smo uporabili za izdelavo ≠asovnega okvirja, ki je primerljiv s ∏ir∏im obmo≠jem ju- govzhodne Evrope in s klimatskimi pogoji za posamezna obdobja.

  • Janković Castle, Suhopolje
    JanKoVIć castle, Suhopolje ProJect descrIPtIon Janković Castle, located in the Suhopolje municipality in the central part of Virovitica-Podravina County, has historical, architectural and townscape value and, as such, is protected as a cultural monument. Together with the historical park and the remaining supporting structures, Virovitica the castle makes a valuable example of feudal countryside Suhopolje architecture of the late 18th and the early 19th century. The main idea behind the project is the renovation of the old castle and the corresponding facilities into a four-star hotel with accompanying wellness, restaurants and sports Zagreb facilities (swimming pools) covering the total area of 74,430 m2. The location has very good transport links (distance from the highway is 75 km, railway 1 km, airport 85 km) and all necessary infrastructure (gas, electricity, water, sewage) is provided. Given the lack of accommodation facilities, especially those of high quality in the region of Virovitica-Podravina County, the project offers significant potential for tourist development of the region, particularly for sports tourism such as hunting. This region is rich with big game and is known for a large number of wild boars and deer as well as attractive quail hunting in the summer and hare, pheasant, partridge and wild duck hunting in the winter season. PotentIal transactIon structure Janković Castle, 100% owned by Virovitica-Podravina County, will be offered to a strategic partner based on right to built model which will be granted for 99 years and will cost 1 HRK per year (1 HRK = 0.13 EUR) under the condition that the real estate will be brought to purpose within five years from the selection of the best bidder.

  • Obstacles to Cross-Border Cooperation – Case of Croatia and Hungary
    European Journal of Geography Volume 9, Number 2: 116-133, June 2018 ©Association of European Geographers OBSTACLES TO CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION – CASE OF CROATIA AND HUNGARY Sanja TIŠMA Institute for Development and International Relations, IRMO, Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Krešimir JURLIN Institute for Development and International Relations, IRMO, Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Helena ČERMAK Institute for Development and International Relations, IRMO, Zagreb, Croatia [email protected] Abstract The focus of this paper is to identify most significant obstacles that hinder bilateral trade between Hungary and Croatia and propose solutions for improvements by using the gravity models, precisely the Newtonian model of gravitation. The results of the research show that in spite of interest for cross-border cooperation being expressed by the stakeholders from both sides of the border, Somogy County and Virovitica-Podravina County belong to less developed, deprived rural areas of Hungary and Croatia. The key weaknesses for cross-border cooperation include lack of transport connections and language barrier, while strengths reflect in entrepreneurial spirit and opportunity to apply and implement joint entrepreneurial projects financed by the European Union (EU) funds. Keywords: Cross-border cooperation, Croatia and Hungary, gravity models, entrepreneurship, transport infrastructure, EU funds 1. INTRODUCTION When considering bilateral trade, often the crucial question is what trade intensity shall be considered as appropriate or "normal". It has been known since the work of Tinbergen (1962) and Poyhonen (1963) that the size of bilateral trade flows between any two countries can be approximated by a law called the gravity equation which originates from the Newtonian theory of gravitation.

Th is paper presents the (un)sustainable rural tourism practice in Lika-Senj County in Croatia through a case study of the Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch and Plitvice Lakes. In order to understand the concepts of sustainable rural tourism, overtourism and undertourism, the case study begins with an analysis of statistical data, secondary literature and examples of overtourism in Lika (Plitvice Lakes Nati- onal Park). Qualitative insight (preliminary data) is used to refl ect on the Linden Tree Retreat & Ranch campaign called CIDER (Community, Integrity, Development, Evolution and Responsibility), which can be considered as the point of departure for the enhancement of undertourism development. Keywords: neo-endogenous development, overtourism, sustainable tourism, undertourism 1. INTRODUCTION1 Tourism is one of the most important social phenomena of the 20th and 21st centuries.

In the Middle Ages it was the possession of the Hungarian queens. Here King Bela IV wrote an important charter for Zagreb. The Medieval fortress of the lowland type in Virovitica is located in the center of the town. Here King Bela IV wrote an important charter for Zagreb. The Medieval fortress of the lowland type in Virovitica is located in the center of the town. In the 19th century it was destroyed and in its place Pejačević Count built a castle.
