Crikvenica\u27s cemetries

Autor u radu donosi povijesni pregled posljednjih počivališta, od najstarijih prapovijesnih nalaza na predjelu Stolnič, nalaza iz razdoblja antike u sklopu rimskoga Ad Turresa, srednjovjekovnog groblja Stranče-Gorica u bliskom zaleđu crikvenice, zatim tri groblja vezana uz crkve: sv. Šimuna i Jude Tadeja u naselju Kotor, sv. Antona na Gorici i pavlinske Crkve BDM na ušću Dubračine, jednog kratkotrajno korištenog groblja na lokaciji današnjeg Gradskog kupališta, do sadašnjega i budućega crikveničkog groblja koje postoji tek u planskim dokumentima. Povijest crikveničkih groblja je zapravo povijest samoga mjesta Crikvenice i njegove urbanizacije. S porastom broja stanovnika, koji se u posljednjih 150 godina povećao za gotovo tri i pol puta, rastu potrebe za novim ukopištima. Stoga se koncem 18. i početkom 19. stoljeća otvaraju tri groblja na novim lokacijama, ali se iz urbanističkih razloga dva groblja zatvaraju, a ukopi sele na sadašnje crikveničko groblje. Prostorni resursi postojećeg groblja su do krajnosti potrošeni, pa je izrađena planska dokumentacija za novo groblje u blizini crikveničkog naselja Zoričići, ispod vrha Drenin.In the paper the author gives an overview of the final resting places, from the oldest prehistoric finds at the area of Stolnič, finds from Antiquity within the Roman Ad Turres, the Stranče-Gorica mediaeval cemetery in the nearby hinterland of Crikvenica, then the three cemeteries connected to the churches: Saints Simon and Jude Thaddeus in the settlement of Kotor, St Anthony on Gorica and the Pauline Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the mouth of the Dubračina, a single use cemetery at the site of the town’s current bathing area, to the present-day and future Crikvenica cemetery which exists only in planning documents. The history of Crikvenica’s cemeteries is in fact the history of the town of Crikvenica itself and its urbanisation. With the growth of the population, which over the last 150 years has increased almost three and a half times, the need for new burial grounds has also grown. Therefore, at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th three cemeteries opened in new locations, however for urbanisation reasons two cemeteries were closed, and the burials moved to the current Crikvenica cemetery. The spatial resources of the existing cemetery have been used to the extremes, so planning documentation has been made for a new cemetery near to the Crikvenica settlement of Zoričići, under the hilltop of Drenin

Quantitatively Verifying the Results' Rationality for Farmland Quality Evaluation with Crop Yield, a Case Study in the Northwest Henan Province, China

<div><p>Evaluating the assessing results’ rationality for farmland quality (FQ) is usually qualitative and based on farmers and experts’ perceptions of soil quality and crop yield. Its quantitative checking still remains difficult and is likely ignored. In this paper, FQ in Xiuwu County, the Northwest Henan Province, China was evaluated by the gray relational analysis (GRA) method and the traditional analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. The consistency rate of two results was analysed. Research focused on proposing one method of testing the evaluation results’ rationality for FQ based on the crop yield. Firstly generating a grade map of crop yield and overlying it with the FQ evaluation maps. Then analysing their consistency rate for each grade in the same spatial position. Finally examining the consistency effects and allowing for a decision on adopting the results. The results showed that the area rate consistency and matching evaluation unit numbers between the two methods were 84.68% and 87.29%, respectively, and the space distribution was approximately equal. The area consistency rates between crop yield level and FQ evaluation levels by GRA and AHP were 78.15% and 74.29%, respectively. Therefore, the verifying effects of GRA and AHP were near, good and acceptable, and the FQ results from both could reflect the crop yield levels. The evaluation results by GCA, as a whole, were slightly more rational than that by AHP.</p></div

<p>According to the comparison, there were some indentify status with different colours. Same indicated that the FQ grade area based on the GCA methods was the same as that of the yield level. Less indicated that the grade of the former was less than that of the latter. More indicated that the former was more than the latter.
