Recent Tectonic Activity in the Imotsko Polje Area

Displacements of the Adriatic microplate, particularly of its southern part, are of crucial importance for the understanding of recent tectonic movements. Deformations of the structural fabric and the resulting tectonic activity also encompass the studied area. There are four most active fault zones - Mosor-Biokovo, Zagvozd-Vrgorac-Metkovic, Trilj-Tihaljina-Capljina and Imotski-Medjugorje-Popovo polje. In the explored area, these zones delimit the Imotsko polje. The calculated regional stress is oriented in the range between 10-190° and 350-170°. The relationship between the orientation of structural units and stress enables reverse displacements, most frequently in the direction of the south and south-east. The change in stress orientation in the Mt. Biokovo hinterland makes the aforementioned fault zones surrounding the Imotsko polje favourably oriented in respect to the stress, thus enabling dextral horizontal tectonic transport of the structures in different fault blocks. In the two fault zones - Trilj-Tihaljina-Capljina and Imotski-Medjugorje-Popovo polje, there are 98 outcrops suitable for the structural geology measurements. The obtained data on the local stress orientation and spatial displacement of structures are the most important. The character of faults and the most active fault sections are marked, as well as the local structures that are formed due to strong horizontal component of structural displacement in the studied fault zones. Recent tectonic activity is confirmed by the occurrence of earthquakes. Spatial distribution of the earthquake epicentres depicts zones of seismotectonic activity that are related to the aforementioned most important fault zones. Two of the fault zones - Trilj-Tihaljina-Capljina and Imotski-Medjugorje-Popovo polje are especially well marked by earthquakes occurring at depths of between 3 and 15 km

Impact of the A1 motorway construction on changing traffic position of city Imotski

Ovaj rad se bavi utjecajem kojeg je autocesta imala na promjenu prometnog položaja grada Imotskog. Usporedbom frekvencija prije i nakon izgradnje autoceste koji nam pokazuju promjene koje su se dogodile. Ostali statistički i grafički pokazatelji će nam pomoći da detaljnije objasnimo razloge zbog kojih je došlo do promjene i posljedica koje su se dogodile na ovom području otvaranjem autoceste.This paper work deals with the impact of the highway on changing the traffic position of the city of Imotski. Comparisons are made on the timetable data before and after highway construction and show us the changes that have taken place. Other statistic and graphic indicators will help us to explain in more details the reasons for the changes and consequences that have occured in this area after opening highway

The modern development of Dalmatic zagora

Na gospodarske posebnosti Zagore u prošlosti i u suvremenom razdoblju velik utjecaj imaju njezina prirodno-geografska obilježja (tipična krška obilježja, mali udio obradivih površina, bezvodnost i sl.), kao i društveno-povijesni uvjeti. Iako su prirodne mogućnosti oskudne i potiču na iseljavanje, Zagora ima brojne neiskorištene potencijale koji su nedovoljno valorizirani ili tek trebaju biti. Naravno, većina preostalog radno sposobnog stanovništva zagorskih sela zaposlena je u tercijarnim djelatnostima primorskog pojasa kako bi uzdržavali sebe i članove svoje obitelji. Stoga je potrebno pronaći održiva rješenja i modele gospodarskog razvoja koji bi zadržali stanovništvo i omogućili im stalne prihode. Pritom se posebno ističe turizam (ruralni, agroturizam, lovni, kulturni, avanturistički) koji se može razvijati cijele godine i svojom zanimljivom i raznolikom ponudom privlačiti turiste svih dobnih skupina i interesa. No, kako bi se to ostvarilo, potrebno je povećati broj smještajnih kapaciteta kojih u Zagori ima premalo. Općina Cista Provo svoju prepoznatljivost i jedinstvenost temelji na autohtonim poljoprivrednim proizvodima te atraktivnosti ruralnog turizma temeljenog na očuvanoj tradiciji, običajima i kulturi.On the economic particularities of Zagora in the past and in the modern period the great influence have its natural-geographical characteristics (typical karst features, small areas of cultivable areas, anthrax etc.) as well as socio-historical conditions. Although, natural possibilities are scarce and encourage emigration, Zagora has many unused potentials that are insufficiently valorised or need to be. Of course, most of the remaining working-age population of the Zagorje villages are employed in the tertiary activities of the coastal belt to support themselves and members of their families. Therefore, it is necessary to find sustainable solutions and models of economic development that would keep the population and provide them with permanent income. In particular, tourism (rural, agro tourism, hunting, culture, adventure) can be developed all year round and with its interesting and varied offer attract tourists of all ages and interests. However, in order to achieve this, it is necessary to increase the number of accommodation capacities in Zagora which are too small. Municipality of Cista Provo its recognizability and uniqueness based on indigenous agricultural products and the attractiveness of rural tourism based on preserved tradition, customs and culture

Regionalization of Dalmatia - Recommendation of new administrative and territorial structure

Polazeći od činjenice da se na području Dalmacije nalazi preveliki broj jedinica lokalne samouprave, u ovome radu su analizirane sve jedinice lokalne samouprave, koje se nalaze na području Dalmacije. Predmet ovog rada upravo je analiza postojećeg stanja unutar jedinica lokalne samouprave. Analiza jedinica lokalne samouprave provedena je na temelju: demografskih pokazatelja, socioekonomskih pokazatelja, prometne povezanosti i centralnih funkcija. Metode korištene u ovome radu su: analiza literature i izvora, analiza statističkih podataka, metode vizualizacije i analize u GIS-u. Cilj ovog rada je prijedlog novog administrativno-teritorijalnog ustroja Dalmacije. Pretpostavka je da će analiza pokazati kako je većina jedinica lokalne samouprave premala i ovisna o financijskoj pomoći države i županije unutar koje se nalazi. Nakon analize trenutnog administrativno-teritorijalnog ustroja, predložen je novi administrativno teritorijalni ustroj s manjim brojem krupnijih jedinica lokalne samouprave. Novi administrativno-teritorijalni ustroj temelji se na jedinicama lokalne samouprave koje su zadovoljile sve kriterije tijekom analize te su im pripojene ostale na temelju međusobne udaljenosti i prometne povezanosti.Driven by the fact that there are too many local self-government units and organizations located in the region of „Dalmatia“; Croatia, in this work we analyze all those self-government units. The subject of this thesis is in fact the analysis of the existing condition within the local self-government units. The analysis of the units is conducted with all these factors in mind and carefully looked into: demographic indicators, socioeconomic indicators, traffic infrastructure and connections with their central functions. The methods that were used in this thesis include: analysis of various literatures and origins, analysis of statistical data and methods of visualization and analysis in GIS. The goal of this thesis is to recommend a new administrative and territorial structure for the region of „Dalmatia“. The main assumption is that the analysis will show how most of the current used units are too small and immensely dependant on the financial aid of the government and the county they are located in. After the analysis of the current administrative and territorial structure, a new administrative and territorial structure will be suggested; one that has fewer but larger sized local self-government units. The new administrative and territorial structure will be based on the self-government units which have satisfied all of the criteria during the analysis and the other units will be incorporated under those units accordingly based on distance and the traffic connections and infrastructures between the two

Optimization of the selection of competence cells in regional production network

Današnja svjetska gospodarska kriza pokazala je da uspješno poslovanje poduzeća u normalnim ekonomskim uvjetima nije garancija održivosti, tako da je kriza odvela u stečaj mnoga poslovno uspješna poduzeća, a pogotovo velika poduzeća. Ovo je dovelo u pitanje budućnost velikih poduzeća, no u isto vrijeme i otvorilo pitanje postoji li alternativa velikim poduzećima. Alternativa, dakako, postoji u umrežavanju malih i srednjih poduzeća i njihovom optimalnom odabiru u stvaranju novih virtualnih poduzeća. Ovaj se rad bavi baš navedenim problemom odabira kooperanata (kompetencijskih stanica) za određeni novonastali proizvodni proces. Pretpostavlja se da je poduzeća moguće međusobno usporediti i rangirati, što otvara prostor za optimiranje pomoću algoritma Ant Colony Optimization (ACO).The ongoing world economic crisis has shown that being a successful enterprise in normal economic conditions is not a guarantee of sustainability. So the crisis has led to bankruptcy of many successful enterprises, especially large-sized enterprises. This brought into question the future of large-sized enterprises, but at the same time raised the question whether there is an alternative to large-sized enterprises. Of course, there is an alternative in networking of small and medium-sized enterprises and their optimal selection in the creation of new virtual enterprises. This paper deals with the problem of the selection of cooperators for the new production process. It is assumed that enterprises can be mutually compared and ranked, and that makes optimization possible, using Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm

Izvorni upisi su transliterirani latiničkim pismom, poredani po vremenskom slijedu i popraćeni raspravom o pojedinim osobama

Methods of Multivariate Analysis to Uncover Socio-Economic Differences Among Spatial-Economics Entities

Main aim of regional policy is to reduce regional disparities. There is now doubt that action to tackle regional disparities is needed in Croatia. Main problem is the definition of region as a subject of regional policy. After discussion about definition of region and main criteria which should be considered during the process of establishment of regions, the paper will present one of the methodologies for spatial-economic entities' classification. The methodology will be used on the working sample of several Croatian counties. The classification will be obtained through use of multivariate statistical methods, and it is based on a wide number of demographic, economic, educations, employment indicators. Results leads to the identification of several axes of socio-economic characterisation, and the division of the observed territory into several homogenous clusters, regions with different degree of development. The main conclusion is that socio-economic reorients uncovered with this methodology provide useful characterisation and division of the territory, for policy making purpose.
