Traditional Rural Architecture of Banija

U organizaciji današnjeg Ministarstva kulture više od trideset godina se na području Hrvatske provode sustavna regionalna terenska istraživanja tradicijskog pučkog graditeljstva.S ciljem registracije, evidencije, dokumentacije i preventivnih blika zaštite prikupljena je opsežna građa koja se nalazi u različitim stupnjevima stručne i znanstvene obrade. Područje Banije tretirano je u više navrata sredinom i krajem osamdesetih godina. Prilagođeno sadašnjim mogućnostima istraživanja u radu je naglasak na relevantnim značajkama i stanju u okolici Gline, kao oglednog primjerka za regiju, iako valja uvažavati da postoje mikroregionalne različitosti.The ethnographic significance of the traditional rural architecture of Banija are a part of the entire ethnological and cultural heritage of Croatia. The analysis and processing of the fieldwork data from the 1980s show that all forms of life in the rural community and the village as the core of specific microcosm are vanishing or transforming rapidly. Typical rural architectural forms are disappearing quickly due to the use of new building materials, changes in building arrangements, socio-cultural changes and other more or less important factors of modern life. Documenting, filing and systematic analysis are not only preconditions for preventive protection but also an effort to conduct a well-argumented ethnological and cultural analysis of the values that are part of the identity of the entire national heritage

Architecture of the Island of Lastovo

U sklopu redovnog programa "Istraživanje i uređivanje stanja etnološke građe na području Republike Hrvatske", konzervatori Ministarstva kulture, Uprave za zaštitu kulturne baštine iz Zagreba i Konzervatorskog odjela iz Splita proveli su tijekom listopada 2003. inventarizaciju etnološke građe na otoku Lastovu. Ranijih sustavnih istraživanja nije bilo, izuzev onih za određene potrebe, odnosno izradu Urbanističkog i Prostornog plana općine Lastovo, 1983., Izmjene i dopune plana, 2000. i za izradu Programa integralnog razvoja lastovskog otočja.As part of the regular program "Research and evaluation of the ethnological material in the Republic of Croatia", the conservators from the Ministry of Culture, Administration for the protection of Cultural Heritage from Zagreb, and from the Conservation Institute from Split, carried out, during October 2003, an inventory of ethnological heritage of the Island of Lastovo. Prior systematic researches were not conducted, except from the ones which were carried out from specific purposes, i.e. for the design of the Urban Development Plan and Physical Plan of the Lastovo County in 1983 and Amendments to the Plan in 2000 and for the writing up of the Program of Integral Development of the Lastovo region

TAKING AN INVENTORY OF ETHNOLOGICAL MATERIALS OF THE ISLAND OF PREMUDA (Summary)

U sklopu programskog zadatka za 2004. godinu Ministarstva kulture – Uprave za zaštitu kulturne baštine, provedena su etnološka istraživanja na otoku Premudi u suradnji s konzervatorima Konzervatorskog odjela u Zadru. U radu su sudjelovali etnolozi, povjesničar i arhitekti. Cilj istraživanja je bio utvrditi stanje etnološke građe otoka – stanje tradicijskog graditeljstva, njegovu očuvanost i uporabu. Dokumentirani su i drugi oblici materijalne i duhovne kulture otočana.Within the programme task for 2004, the Ministry of Culture, Board for the Cultural Heritage Protection and in co-operation with the conservators from the Conservation Department from Zadar, ethnological research has taken place on the island of Premuda. Ethnologists, a historian and architects have participated in this fieldwork. The aim of the research was to establish the state of the ethnological materials that can be found on the island – the state of the traditional architecture, its preservation and present use. Other forms of material and immaterial culture of the islanders have also been documented

Long term effect of Fertdolomite on soil, maize and wheat status on acid soil of eastern Croatia

Soil acidity is one of the most common problem in cultivating plants in the open field. Dolomite enriched with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (trade name Fertdolomite: 24% CaO + 16% MgO + 3% N + 2.5% P2O5 + 3% K2O) was applied in autumn of 2011 in four rates (0 t*ha-1, 3.56 t*ha-1, 7.14 t*ha-1 and 14.25 t*ha-1). Aim of this experiment was testing 5-year residual impact of Fertdolomit on acid soil on maize and winter wheat grain yield and quality, as well as on changes of soil properties. Five year after application, Fertdolomit has shown positive long term effect on soil pH and hydrolytic acidity. Under Fertdolomit treatments, in 2012/2013 wheat yield was significantly increased by 22%, in 2014/2015 by 25% and in 2016/2017 by 32% in comparison with control treatment. Application of highest Fertdolomite rate significantly increased wheat grain quality (protein and wet gluten content) while impact on thousand grain weight, hectoliter mass and starch content was insignificant during all growing season. Response of maize to Fertdolomite application was considerably lower compared to wheat. Maize yield increased only for 11% in both tested years (2014 and 2016), without any significant difference for grain quality
