The paper explores the ideological influences in the period of the socialist system on the new urban landscape, and also on design of the typological models of residential units built in Belgrade. After the Second World War, one of the main policy goals of socialism was to solve the housing problems of Belgrade, by building the modern, serially manufactured and economical housing architecture. The period of intensive construction of housing architecture of Belgrade in the period of socialist self-management is primarily related to the achieved quality of housing in this period in terms of environment humanization and functional organization of housing units. This paper explores new concepts and principles of housing architecture with the emphasis on the impact of spatial-functional apartment transformation on the family lifestyle and the formation of a new socialist culture of dwelling. Since the problem of housing is interdisciplinary, the transformation is studied out through detecting the relations of cause and effect among ideological social changes, culture of habitation, technical and technological criteria and functional-spatial house structure. The modern housing urbanism and architecture has become a representation of social, political, economic, demographic and cultural changes of the period. ; Rad istražuje ideološke uticaje na urbani pejzaž, kao i na projektovanje tipoloških modela stambenih jedinica izgrađenih u Beogradu u periodu socijalističkog sistema. Posle Drugog svetskog rata, jedan od glavnih strateškh ciljeva socijalizma bio je rešavanje stambenog problema Beograda izgradnjom moderne, serijski proizvedene i ekonomične stambene arhitekture. Period intenzivne stambene izgradnje u Beogradu u periodu od samoupravnog socijalizma se prvenstveno povezuje sa ostvarenim kvalitetom stanovanja u smislu humanizacije okruženja i funkcionalne organizacije stambenih jedinica. Ovaj rad istražuje nove koncepte i principe stambene arhitekture sa akcentom na uticaju prostorno-funkcionalane transformacije stana na stil života i formiranje nove socijalističke kulture stanovanja. Imajući u vidu da je problem stanovanja interdisciplinaran, transformacija se istražuje kroz uspostavljanje uzročno-posledičnih veza između ideoloških društvenih promena, kulture stanovanja, tehničko-tehnoloških kriterijuma i prostorno- funkcionalne strukture stambene jedinice. Moderna stambena arhitektura i urbanizam su posmatrani kao reprezentacija društvenih, političkih, ekonomskih, demografskih i kulturnih promena u periodu socijalizma.

The economic and social provisions of the Vidovdan constitution represent its most advanced part. Its introduction was a step forward towards the creation of a socially responsible state. However, their basic goal, increasing the cultural and economic well-being of the people, was not achieved and the economic crisis deepened. In the post-war state, burdened with cultural, religious, and national differences, the democratic constitution did not last long. The author tries to explain the factors that influenced the adoption of these provisions and their (non) implementation. Whether the failure of economic and social provisions was determined by the fate of the constitution or by objective facts is difficult to say. The author seeks to prove that the collapse of the constitution and its economic and social provisions was influenced by a number of unfavorable circumstances, such as the economic underdevelopment of the state, the remnants of feudal relations, political disunity, resistance to the new state, and Serbian hegemony. Using the historical-legal method of research, combined with economic and sociological methods, the socio-economic provisions of the Vidovdan Constitution and their implementation will be analyzed. ; mirjana.miskic@pf.unibl.org ; Универзитет у Бањој Луци (University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina) ; Ahmed D., Bulmer E., Social and economic rights, Stockholm 2017. ; Brajic V., Radno pravo, Savremena administracija, Beograd 2001. ; Desnica U., Agrarni odnosi u Dalmaciji, Novi život, Beograd 1921. ; Dimić L., Kulturna politika Kraljevine Jugoslavije 1918–1941, I-III, Stubovi kulture, Beograd 1997. ; Ekmecic M., Osnove gradjanske diktature u Evropi izmedju dva svjetska rata, Sarajevo 1976. ; Fira A., Vidovdanski ustav, Beograd 2011. ; Jovanović S., Ustavno pravo Kraljevine Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca, Beograd 1924. ; Kostic L., Administrativno pravo Kraljevine Jugoslavije, knjiga sesta, Beograd 1936. ; Lubarda B., Uvod u radno pravo sa elementima socijalnog rada, Beograd 2013. ; Samardzić ...

Data from records on population affected by contagious diseases in the period
from 1991 to 1996 are entered in the computer data base and are managed by
the Epidemiology corps of the City Public Health Institute. These data are
used to serve the operative needs of the epidemiological corps in order to
control contagious diseases within the district. They are analysed to obtain
an insight into the problem of contagious diseases in general, and each
individual disease in particular, while monitoring the distribution of
diseases by gender, age and commune. In the period from 1991 to 1996 no
person in Belgrade was down with a particularly dangerous contagious
disease. The lowest number of the diseased was registered in 1991 (14788)
and the highest in 1994 (27368). In 1996, the number of the diseased was
higher by 33% than in 1991. Among the most widely spread contagious diseases
was chicken pox (its share ranging from 22.5% to 54.6%), contagious diarrhea
(from 7.4% to 17.3%), salmonellosis (from 2.9% to 6.1%), angina (from 2.6%
to 5.6%). In the period reviewed, the above four diseases were among the ten
most frequently incurred contagious diseases. In the course of 1993, measles
fell within the group of ten and acquired epidemic proportions. The disease
affected 3524 inhabitants of Belgrade (44. 7% children below 14 years of age
and 32% young people from 15 to 19 years of age). The epidemic was caused by
the discontinuation of regular vaccination of children against measles
caused by the shortage of imported vaccination and by population migration.
In the same year, the epidemic of rubella also broke out. The epidemic
extended to 1994 and 1995. A breakdown of the diseased by gender ranged from
51.0% to 52.9% for males and from 47.1 % to 49.0% for females. Majority of
the diseased were in the age groups 5-9 and 0-4 years while the least number
of the diseased were among the aged. The youngest population was most
frequently affected by chicken pox (from 35.6% to 69.4% of the overall
number of those stricken by the disease), contagious diarrhea (from 4.5% to
17.5%), salmonellosis (from 3.1% to 7.4% ), angina (from 3.4% to 9.7%) and
scarlet fever (from 3.1% to 7.3%). During the period reviewed, 69 people
died from contagious diseases. Mortality from contagious diseases was lowest
in 1992 and 1993 (3.1 and 3.4 per 1,000,000). It gradually rose to reach the
highest value in 1996 (12.6% per 1,000,000). The largest number of people
affected was reported in the communes of Novi Beograd, Zemun and Cukarica.

Tourist destination competitiveness, by the model proposed by Crouch and Ritchie, can be analysed on the basis of thirty-six attributes grouped under the following determinants: key resources and attractions, support factors, situational conditions, destination management and destination policy, planning and development. This paper analyses the key resources and attractions that include natural conditions, culture, activities, events and entertainment, superstructure and links to emission markets. By the use of the AHP method (Analytic Hierarchy Process), the hierarchy of four destinations of urban tourism in Serbia (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Kragujevac and Niš) was established. ; Konkurencija turističkih destinacija po modelu koji su predložili Crouch i Ritchie, može se analizirati na osnovu 36 atributa grupisanih u okviru sledećih determinanti: ključni resursi i atrakcije, faktori podrške, situacioni uslovi, menadžment destinacije i politika destinacije, planiranje i razvoj. U ovom radu su analizirani ključni resursi i atrakcije koji obuhvataju prirodne uslove, kulturu, aktivnosti, događaje i zabavu, suprastrukturu i veze sa emitivnim tržištima. Upotrebom AHP metode (analitički hijerarhijski proces) utvrđena je hijerarhija četiri destinacije gradskog turizma u Srbiji (Beograd, Novi Sad, Kragujevac i Niš).

Waste disposal and treatment problem consideration in the Republic of Serbia is making a pioneer steps. Main goal of this paper is to emphasize problems of waste disposal on waterways in urban areas, which consists of three aspects: uncontrolled disposal, possibilities of waste elimination and institutional model of collecting and recycling. Considering the fact that Draft version of Waste disposal law is not yet adopted by the national government (beside the fact that it contains the question of disposing and recycling municipal solid waste) and that it is not elaborating the problem of dumping the municipal waste into rivers, this paper will give methodological and legislative recommendations for the solution of this problem. However, city of Belgrade and the other cities in Serbia are often facing serious problems (arranged riverfronts covered with municipal waste). Because of that, it is necessary to define methods of collecting and treatment of waste disposed in the water streams (in the area of technology). It is also important to determine legislative framework, and also to establish hierarchy in decision-making on the local level. One of the main goals is to determine new aspects of public communal utilities (so called "river communal utility"), which will have jurisdiction in this area. International experiences must be analyzed separately and based on them is proposed new concept of elimination of waste from the rivers. Implementation of this pilot project is recommended on the river Danube and the river Sava on the territory of the city of Belgrade. ; U Republici Srbiji, razmatranje problema odlaganja i prerade komunalnog otpada doživljava pionirske korake. Osnovni cilj rada je ukazivanje na probleme otpada na vodenim površinama u urbanim područjima koje se sastoje iz tri aspekta: nekontrolisano deponovanje; mogućnosti eliminacije otpada; i institucionalno organizacioni model prikupljanja i reciklaže. Uzimajući u obzir činjenicu da Nacrt Zakona o otpadu još uvek nije usvojen (a da između ostalog tretira i pitanje deponovanja i reciklaže komunalnog otpada), te da u njemu nije detaljnije razrađen problem komunalnog otpada koji se nekontrolisano odlaže u reke, u ovom radu biće date metodološke, ali i legislativne preporuke za rešavanje navedenog problema. Naime, zbog sve češćih problema sa kojima se suočava grad Beograd, ali i drugi veći gradovi u Srbiji (uređene i neuređene obale zatrpane komunalnim otpadom) nužno je definisati moduse za prikupljanje i preradu ovako odloženog otpada (misli se prvenstveno na tehnologiju). U tom smislu, neophodno je determinisati i legislativne okvire za navedenu problematiku, kao i uspostaviti hijerarhiju u odlučivanju na nivou gradske uprave i utvrditi nove vidove javnih komunalnih preduzeća (tzv. "rečnu čistoću") koja će imati nadležnosti u ovoj oblasti. Posebno su analizirana relevantna međunarodna iskustva i predložen novi koncept projekta uklanjanja otpada sa reka čija se primena preporučuje na Dunavu i Savi na području grada Beograda.

Belgrade has been devastated and redeveloped for countless times. Various cultures, nations and conquerors left different urban matrices and physical structure. The groundwork for conceptualization and research of the urban matrix as an essential element of Belgrade's urban morphology are graphic presentations the old maps and plans. Appreciating strategic significance Belgrade had up till 19th century, they were mainly elaborating Belgrade Fortress area, while civil settlement the Borough inside the Trench, a small typically oriental town (Kurtović Folić, 2000, pp. 15-21) was presented in general sketches. This paper deals with breakthrough conceptions about planned construc­tion of Belgrade inside and outside of the fortress moat from the beginning of the 19th till the beginning of the 20th century. The ruling period of Prince Miloš Obrenović was especially emphasized, when planned construction of the new, geometrically regulated Belgrade settlement in Western Vračar (outside the Trench) started and was supposed to be connected with the city center of the Serbian Belgrade (inside the Trench) around the current Saborna church, via two already existing streets Abadžijska Street and Fišeklijska Street. Prince Miloš in 1815., obtained from Marašli Ali Pasha the Savamala area with the formed village on so called slope, that was soon to be destroyed and set on fire upon his order, with the goal of building 'a new Serbian Belgrade'. (Krasojević, 2004) The expelled landowners gained the opportunity to settle down on the Danube side, in the village of Palilula. In the third and the fourth decade of the 19th century there started the planned guidance of population of respective urban areas and regulation of some tracings in Savamala and Terazije as far as the Batal Mosque, forming on the slopes of Savamala and Western Vračar a new part of Serbian Belgrade, be­yond the Trench with several new 'čaršija''. (Škalamera, 1974. pp.9-14) In the period 1835-38, Prince Miloš began developing some prominent ed­ifices and institutions of the restored Province of Serbia in this Belgrade area, and his son, Prince Mihailo Obrenović, continued with the development of this area after 1860. ; Beograd je rušen i obnavljan nebrojeno puta. Razne kulture, narodi i osvajači ostavili su za sobom različite urbane matrice i fizičku strukturu. Ključni osnov za sagledavanje i proučavanje urbanih matrica, kao bitnih elemenata urbane morfologije Beograda su grafičke predstave stare karte i planovi. S obzirom na strategijsku važnost koju je Beograd imao do 19. veka, grafički prikazi toga perioda uglavnom su bili usmereni na područje Beogradske tvrđave, dok je civilno naselje varoš u Šancu, mala orijentalna varoš, prikazivana samo orijentaciono. Rad se bavi pionirskim zamislima u domenu planske izgradnje Beograda, kako u okvirima, tako i van Šanca, od početka 19. do početka 20. veka. Poseban akcenat je stavljen na period vladavine kneza Miloša Obrenovića, kada i započinje period planske izgradnje geometrijski regulisanog novog beogradskog naselja na Zapadnom Vračaru (van Šanca), koji je trebalo povezati sa centrom srpskog Beograda (u Šancu) oko današnje Saborne crkve, preko već tada trasiranih ulica Abadžijske i Fišek- lijske. Početkom 19. veka dok su se za prevlast nad Beogradom borili Zapad i Istok, između njih se 'umešala' treća sila : Nova srpska država. Na relaciji između Klemegdanskog polja i Topčidera, Srbi su u doba Miloša Obrenovića zauzeli stratešeke tačke, rasporedili svoje javne ustanove, svoju čaršiju i stambene objekte duž glavnih komunikacija. Izgradnja Novog srpskog Beograda započela je krajem prve četvrtine 19. veka u savskom kraju u okvirima Šanca, a koji se prostirao od današnjeg Kosančićevog venca, Topličinim i Obilićevim vencem do Trga Republike, a onda se Francuskom ulicom spuštao do Dunava. Nova izgradnja je započela u okviru Šanca, ali se vrlo brzo proširila na prostor van njega. Izvan Šanca su se nalazile Savska varoš i selo Savamala, ispod Tašmajdana se prostiralo selo Palilula, a oko Skadarske ulice i Zelenog venca su bile dve ciganske mahale. U periodu od 1835-1938. godine Knez Miloš je počeo planski da podiže u ovom prostoru značajne zgrade i ustanove obnovljene Kneževine Srbije, a posle 1860. godine izgradnju ovog dela grada nastavlja njegov sin Knez Mihailo Obrenović. Planom su već tada predviđene Nemanjina ulica i prvo beogradsko šetalište, ulica Kneza Miloša, a koj a je i danas simbol gradskog života u prestonici. Nakon turske predaje tvrđave srpskoj upravi 1867. godine, oslobođeni Beograd ulazi u novi period urbanističkog i arhitekotnskog razvoja, kao i ubrzanog političkog, ekonomskog, društvenog i kulturnog napredka. Prvi srpski urbanista Emilijan Josimović je rekonstrisao varoš u Šancu, a čije su postavke skoro u celosti realizovane. To je ujedno i period opsežnih transformacija srpske prestonice, a nakon proglašenja Kraljevine 1882. godine uslediće i brojne strane investicije. Na starim planovima i fotografijama moguće je uočiti tu snažnu transformaciju Beograda, tačnije njegovo prerastanje u moderni grad zapadne orijentacije. Presudan događaj ne samo za politički, već i za kulturni razvoj Beograda i Srbije, bila je dramatična promena dinastije 1903. godine. Dolaskom na presto Petra I Karađorđevića, Beograd se sve više udaljavao od austrijskih uticaja, i okretao ka Rusiji, međutim uticaj zapadnoevropskih gradova na srpsku arhitekturu i urbanizam ipak nije jenjavao. Politički i kulturni uticaji Istoka i Zapada, utkani u identitet Beograda, najjasnije su se izražavali upravo na ovom polju i to kroz stalnu borbu tradicionalizma i modernizma, konzervativnih i progresivnih tendencija.

IN CROATIAN: Okrugli stol Mreža naselja u umreženom društvu: društvene i prostorne promjene u nekim tranzicijskim zemljama održan je 2. lipnja 2006. godine u Institutu za društvena istraživanja u Zagrebu. Organizirala ga je grupa za istraživanje prostora, sela i grada iz IDIZ-a vezujući ga uz znanstvenoistraživački projekt Sociološki aspekti mreže naselja u kontekstu tranzicije (2002.-2005.). Navedeni projekt i okrugli stol realizirani su uz novčanu potporu Ministarstva obrazovanja, znanosti i športa RH. Okrugli stol bio je podijeljen na dva tematska dijela. U prvom dijelu, pod nazivom Mreža naselja u umreženom društvu, raspravljalo se o tematskom broju Sociologije sela (169/2005.) s radovima na temu Sociologijski aspekti mreže naselja, proizišlim iz spomenutoga projekta. U drugom dijelu otvorena je diskusija na temu Akteri društvenih promjena u prostoru i to kako u Hrvatskoj tako i u nama susjednim tranzicijskim zemljama, Sloveniji i Srbiji. Iz Slovenije su sudjelovali i izlagali prof dr. Zdravko Mlinar i dr. sc. Marjan Hoćevar (obojica iz Ljubljane), a iz Srbije dr. sc. Ksenija Petovar, dr. sc. Sreten Vujović, dr. sc. Miodrag Vujošević (svi iz Beograda) i dr. sc. Ljubinko Pušić (iz Novog Sada). Iz Hrvatske su, uz sudionike iz Instituta za društvena istraživanja u Zagrebu, bili pozvani izlagači iz nekoliko institucija - Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Instituta društvenih znanosti "Ivo Pilar" iz Zagreba, Studijskog centra za socijalni rad Pravnoga fakulteta Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Ministarstva zaštite okoliša, graditeljstva i prostornog uređenja, te nekih drugih institucija. U spomenutom tematskom broju Sociologije sela objavljena su dva podskupa radova koji se odnose na fenomen umreženoga društva (networked society) i mrežu naselja (settlements network). Prvi podskup čine radovi proizišli iz znanstvenoistraživačkog projekta Sociološki aspekti mreže naselja u kontekstu tranzicije u kojem je objavljeno pet izvornih znanstvenih radova troje istraživača - Alije Hodžića, Dušice Seferagić i Milana Župančića. Drugi podskup sadrži pet predmetno srodnih tekstova šestoro inozemnih autora - Marjana Hočevara i Zdravka Mlinara iz Slovenije, Ksenije Petovar i Ljubinka Pušića iz Srbije, te Zorana Roce i Marije de Nazare Oliveira Roca iz Portugala. Skup je otvorila dr. sc. Dušica Seferagić i njime koordinirala u suradnji s mr. sc. Alijom Hodžicern. U uvodnim izlaganjima sudjelovali su i mr. sc. Alija Hodžić i Antun Petak (obojica iz Zagreba - IDIZ), koji su iznijeli iscrpna izvješća o rezultatima projekta. Zatim je slijedilo izlaganje dr. sc. Ljubinka Pušića (Novi Sad) o teorijskom diskursu i o stanju u Srbiji i Vojvodini u vrijeme tranzicije te promjenama u urbanim i ruralnim prostorima u njima. Milan Župančić (Zagreb - IDIZ) iznio je stanje u ruralnim sredinama Hrvatske u proteklom vremenu. Na temu umreženosti prostora govorili su i mr. sc. Anđelina Svirčić Gotovac (Zagreb - lDIZ) (ukratko je izložila problematiku svoga magistarskog rada o kvaliteti života u zagrebačkoj mreži naselja), te dr. sc. Marjan Hoćevar (Ljubljana) (o globalizacijskim uvjetima unutar postojećih mreža naselja u Sloveniji). Nakon izlaganja u prvom tematskom dijelu nastavljena je plodna diskusija u kojoj su sudjelovali brojni sudionici - Ivan Cifrić, Sreten Vujović, Zdravko Mlinar, Jasenka Kodrnja, Dušica Seferagić, Miodrag Vujošević, Ksenija Petovar, Ljubinko Pušić, Alija Hodžić . Najzanimljivija su bila teoretska izlaganja i diskusije o prostorno-socijalnom diskursu (Pušić, Vujović, Vujošević, Cifrić, Hodžić .) u kojima se dovode u pitanje dosadašnji pristupi prostoru "zapadno-centričnog tipa" te zastarjelo poimanje podjele na ruralno i urbano, s obzirom da su stvarne promjene u prostoru pokazale prožimanje tih dvaju prostora, pa onda i kategorija kojima se više ne mogu objasniti nova zbivanja u prostoru. VI Drugi dio okruglog stola na temu Akteri društvenih promjena u prostoru potaknut je prijedlogom istraživačkog projekta što ga je grupa za prostor, selo i grad IDIZ-a podnijela Ministarstvu znanosti, obrazovanja i športa Republike Hrvatske, ali i prethodnim istraživanjima koja pokazuju da je društveni prostor poprište sučeljavanja i kompeticija različitih aktera za postizanjem određenih ciljeva. U novom kontekstu akteri su svi subjekti koji svojim djelovanjem i interaktivnošću utječu na društvene promjene i razvoj određenog prostora, od lokalne i regionalne sredine do nacionalne i globalne razine. Oni utječu na upotrebu prostora, društveno strukturiranje, prostornu i socijalnu pokretljivost, na naseljenost i naseljsku morfologiju. U svome djelovanju različiti akteri koriste i različite resurse, izvore moći i kompetencije. Hrvatska je (kao i ostale tranzicijske zemlje) nagl koji, pod utjecajem neoliberalizma podliježu deregulaciji, otvorenosti, te društvenoj i prosto moj fleksibilnosti. Na djelu je troces u kojemu raste utjecaj globalnih aktera, a smanjuje se utjecaj državnoga rguliranja na različitim razinama prostorne organizacije društva. To se na lokalnoj razini najviše manifestira kroz sučeljavanje tradicionalnoga i modernoga što je Jjedno izazov i za domaće aktere da se uključe u globalizacijske trendove. Pritom nužno dolazi i do novoga restrukturiranja u prostoru pri čemu će brže napredovatilgradovi i regije koje se svojim intelektualnim kapitalom i informatičkom osposobljenošću mogu efikasnije uključivati u globalno i hijerarhijski umreženo društvo (Castelis, Soja, Sassen), U prostoru postoji snažna koncentracija financijske moći, infprmacija i kulturnog kapitala, pogotovo u megagradovima i svjetskim metropolarna, što ne isključuje i djelovanje prodornijih lokalnih aktera u urbanoj i ruralnoj ~Iredini (Mendras), Stoga bi ciljevi budućih istraživanja trebali biti prepoznavanje r zličitih tipova aktera koji svojim djelovanjem i interaktivnošću formiraju nove obli e društvene strukture, te promjene u prostoru, funkcioniranju grada, sela i lokalne zajednice. Prvo izlaganje na ovu temu iznio je prof. dr. sc. IZdravko Mlinar o brojnim teoretskim pristupima koji se bave akterima i strukturama u fizičkom i virtualnom prostoru. Naveo je niz primjera, oslanjajući se najviše na slučaj Kopra. Zatim je slijedilo izlaganje dr. sc. Sretena Vujovića o podjeli i utjecaju različitih aktera u urbanim prostorima Srbije danas. Dr. sc. Ksenija Petovar govorila je o brojnim uzurpacijama i malverzacijama u prostoru te negativnostima što ih sa sobom donose, također na primjeru Srbije. Dr. sc. Anka Mišetić iznijela je specifičan primjer iz hrvatske ruralne mreže naselja, kroz istraživanje o stanju u selima Lonjskog polja kao dijela europske i svjetske mreže naselja. I drugi dio okruglog stola izazvao je burnu diskusiju brojnih sudionika - Miodrag Vujošević, Ljubinko Pušić, Sreten Vujović, Dušica Seferagič, Anđelina Svirčic Gotovac, Zdravko Mlinar, Alija Hodžić, Marjan Hočevar, Antun Petak . Referati i diskusije o analiziranim fenomenima pokazali su sličnosti i različitosti u trima zemljama - Sloveniji, Hrvatskoj i Srbiji, u europskom i u globalnom kontekstu. Slovenija je visokourbanizirana zemlja, s najvišim standardom života stanovništva. Teza M. Hočevara o sklonosti Slovenaca ruralnom načinu života može se propitati ali i objasniti urbaniziranošču cijelog njezina prostora, fizičkom dostupnošcu svih urbanih dobara te izvrsnim prometnim vezama među naseljima. Hrvatska ima piramidainu mrežu naselja, sa Zagrebom kao metropolom na vrhu, ima tri makroregionalna centra (Split, Rijeka i Osijek), s većim brojem srednjih gradova te mnogo manjih gradova i sela; potonji ne pokazuju razvojne potencijale, što zbog politike centralizacije što zbog inertnosti lokalnih aktera. Srbija je u cjelini oslonjena na glavni grad, Beograd, koji još uvijek privlači najviše stanovnika Srbije te Bosne i Hercegovine, dok provincija propada. Uz Beograd, ističe se još samo Novi Sad, kao glavni grad Vojvodine, premda je Vojvodina više urbanizirana od uže Srbije. Kvaliteta života, posebno u Beogradu, pokazuje velike nejednakosti potencirane neregularnim neoliberalnim ponašanjem aktera u prostoru. Slična, ali blaža konstatacija odnosi se i na Zagreb. Pitanje mreže naselja u trima navedenim tranzicijskim zemljama ovisi o stupnju njihove opće društvene razvijenosti ali i o različitim koncepcijama razvoja prostora: policentričnosti u Sloveniji, piramidalnosti u Hrvatskoj, te monocefalnosti u Srbiji. Cilj ovoga skupa bio je potaknuti daljnju suradnju medu istraživačima iz zemalja koje su, kako se ovdje i pokazalo, dijelile slične probleme i sličnu tranzicijsku sudbinu, a potom ušle u grube neoliberalne sustave. Svaka od prisutnih zemalja specifična je na svoj način, te je namjera sudionika okruglog stola bila osvijetliti postojeću situaciju u njima, aktualizirajuči pri tom problematiku umreženosti prostora odnosno društva u cjelini. --- IN ENGLISH: The round table Settlements network in a networked society: Social changes and changes in regional space in some transitional countries took place on the 2nd of June 2006 at the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb. The round table was organized by the Group for research of the regional space, village and town from the Institute that associated it with their own research project: Sociological aspects of the settlements network in the context of transition (2002 - 2005). The said project and the round table were subsidized by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. The round table was divided into two parts. The first part The Settlements Network in the Networked Society included the discussion on the speciai theme edition (169/2005) Sociology of Viliage Sociological Aspects of the Settlements Network resulting out of this project, while the second consisted of the discussion on Protagonists of Social Changes in Regional Space in Croatia and in our neighboring transitional countries such as Slovenia and Serbia, as well. The participants from Slovenia were professor Zdravko Mlinar (Ljubljana), Ph.D. and Marjan Hoćevar, Ph.D. (Ljubljana) and from Serbia Ksenija Petovar, Ph.D. (Belgrade), Sreten Vujović, Ph.D. (Belgrade), Miodrag Vujošević, Ph.D (Belgrade) and Ljubinko Pušić, Ph.D. (Novi Sad). Besides the participants from the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb, the participants from some other institutions were also invited - from the Faculty of Philosophy, Institute of Social Sciences "Ivo Pilar" from Zagreb, University Study Center for Social Work at the Law Faculry in Zagreb and Ministry of Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction and also some individuals. OI Two groups of papers related to the phenomenon of networked society and the settlements network were published in the special theme edition Sociology of Village =Sociological Aspects of Village Network. The first group consists of the papers resulted from the said research project Sociological aspects of the settlements network in the context of transition where were published five original papers made by three authors - Alija Hodžić, Dušica Seferagić and Milan Župančić. Another group consists of five topically related papers by six foreign authors - Marjan Hočevar and Zdravko Mlinar from Slovenia, Ksenija Petovar and Ljubinko Pušić from Serbia and Zoran Roca and Maria de Nazare Oliveira Roca from Portugal. The conference was opened and coordinated by Dušica Sefaragič, Ph.D. and Alija Hodžić, MD. Alija Hodžić, MD (Zagreb, Institute for Social Research) and Antun Petak (Zagreb, Institute for Social Research) o also made the keynote speeches with detailed reports on the project and its results, After that followed the reports by Ljubinko Pušić, Ph.D. (Novi Sad) on the situation in Serbia and Voivodina in the period of transition and changes in urban and rural spaces there. Milan Župančić (Zagreb, Institute for Social Research) presented the situation in the past years in Croatia from the aspects of the rural milieu. After that Andelina Svirćić Gotovac, MD (Zagreb, Institute for Social Research) made ashort presentation of her MD thesis on the quality of life in the Zagreb settlements network and Marjan Hočevar, Ph.D. (Ljubljana) spoke about globalization conditions within the existing settlements network in Slovenia and in the world context. The first topically related part was followed by a creative discussion in which many speakers and participants took part (Cifrić, Vujović, Mlinar, Kodrnja, Seferagić, Vujošević, Petovar, Pušić, Hodžić and others), The most interesting presentations and discussions were those on the socio - regional space discourse (Pušić, Vujović, Vujošević, Cifrić, Hodžić and others) that question the past approach es to the regional space "of Western- centric type" and an obsolete concept of division between rural and urban, having in mind that the real changes in the regional space have shown the interpenetration of these spaces and of categories as well which can not explain the new occurrences in the regional space any more. The second part of the round table with the ma in topic Protagonists of Social Changes in the Regional Space was incited by a research proposal of the Group for the regional space, village and town of the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb to the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports, and it was also based on previous researches that have shown that social space is the arena of confrontations and competitions of various protagonists aiming at achieving certain goa ls. In the new context the protagonists are all those entities that by their acting and interacting affect social changes and development in a certain space, from the local and regional rnilieu to the national and global level. They influence using the space, social structuring, spatial and social mobility, population density and morpbology of the settlements. Different protagonists use different resources, sources of power and competences. Croatia has been (as well as other countries in transition) suddenly affected by globalization processes, which, under the influence of neoliberalism, set forth the requirements of deregulation, openness, and social and spatial flexibility. The presumption is that we are facing right now a process of an increasing influence of global protagonists and a diminishing impact of govemmental regulation at various levels of spatial organization of society. At the local level it is manifested the most through the confrontation of the traditional and modem and this is a challenge for different local protagonists to join the trends of globalization. This inevitably leads to the new restructuring in the regional space. The towns and regions that, with the ir intellectual capital and IT competence, can integrate into a global and hierarchically networked society (Castells, Soja, Sassen), will advance quicker. There is a strong concentration of financial power, information, culturai capital in the megapolises and world metropolises, but this does not necessary exclude the activities of some more penetrating 10- cal protagonists in the urban and rural area (Mendras). This is the reason why the objective of future researches should be the recognition of the different types of the protagonists that by their acting and interacting create new forms of social structure, changes in the space, functioning of town, village and local community. The subject matter of the first presentation by professor Zdravko Milinar, Ph.D. (Ljubljana) comprised the various theoretic approaches dealing with the protagonnists and structures in the physical and virtual space. He quoted many examples, with a stress on the city of Koper. After that Sreten Vujović, Ph.D. (Belgrade) spoke about a division and influence of different protagonists in urban areas today on the case of Serbia. Ksenija Petovar, Pb.D. spoke about many so-called usurpations and malversations in the space and the negativities that they bring, also on the case of Serbia. Anka Mišetić, Ph.D. (Zagreb, Ivo Pilar Institute) presented a specific exarnple from the Croatian rural settlements network on the research of the present situation in the villages of Lonjsko polje as a part of the European and world settlements network. The second part of the round table also set off an ardent discussion of many participants - Miodrag Vujoševič, Ljubinko Pušić, Sreten Vujović, Dušica Seferagić, Andelina Svirčić Gotovac, Zdravko Mlinar, Alija Hodžić, Marjan Hočevar, Antun Petak etc. The presentation and discussions showed the similarities and differences of the three countries: Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia (which have also existed before) in a European and global context. Slovenia is a highly urbanized country with the highest standard of living. The thesis of M. Hočevar of an inclination of the Slovenians to a rural way of life can be questioned but also explained by the urbanization of the whole territory, physical availability of all urban goods and excellent traffic connections. Croatia has a pyramidal settlements network with Zagreb as the metropolis on top, three macro-regional centers, a number of medium-size towns and many small towns and numerous smail villages. The latter don't show the developmental potentials due to the centralization policy and the inertness of local protagonists as well. Serbia is by and large leaned on its capital Belgrade that stiil attracts the most of the inhabitants from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the provinces are decaying. Besides Belgrade, only Novi Sad stands out as the capital of Voivodina, although Voivodina is more urbanized than Serbia proper ("narrower" Serbia). The quality of life, especiaily in Belgrade, shows huge disparities intensified by irregular and neoliberal doings of the protagonists in the regional space. The similar but less emphasized statement can be applied to Zagreb as well. The question of the settlements network in the three above mentioned transitional countries depends on the degree of the ir general social development but also on various concepts of development of the regional space: policentricity in Slovenia, pyramidality in Croatia and monocephality in Serbia. We hope that this conferenee will help the future cooperation of the scholars from the countries that, as it was seen here, shared the similar problems and similar transitional destiny and after that entered the rough neoliberal systems. Each of the present countries is specific in its own way, so the intention is to explain the present situation in them and make the problems of the networked space, respectively, current society as a whole, actual.
