The paper provides an overview of the state of abandoned military sites in the territory of the Zagreb Urban Agglomeration based on mapping, which was preceded by an examination of official digital ortho-photo maps, data from the Real Estate Cadastre and spatial plans, as well as consultations with physical planning institutes. Furthermore, previous brownfield conversion practices and optimum future use of military brownfield sites have been analysed, depending on their specific position in the urban agglomeration. The analysis is based on research that included semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders in brownfield regeneration in the Zagreb Urban Agglomeration.

The Oštarije–Tounj area lies in the contact zone of two large geomorphological units: the Ogulin-Plaški basin and the Una-Korana plateau, along the northern edge of Dinaric karst in Croatia. This is a highly karstified landscape, with numerous surface and subterranean karst forms. The objective of this study was to determine the significance of the karst relief and the processes of its formation, with the aim of examining the interaction of these two large units during their geomorphological evolution. General and specific digital geomorphometric analyses were used, with geomorphological mapping. Within the morphogenetic approach, the morphostructural conditions of karstification, spatial distribution and significance of karst, and fluviokarst relief forms were analysed. Several dry valleys were established, indicating that this area was the important corridor for surface runoff from the Ogulin-Plaški basin towards the Una-Korana plateau. Tectonic up-lifting of the narrow zone between these two units created an orographic barrier, which hindered any further surface runoff and created the conditions for the development of karst subterranean watercourses. This paper provides a proposal of the morphogenesis model of the Ogulin-Plaški basin, summarised with the description “flattening and closure”.

The paper presents an assessment of the acceptable tourist bathing load with regard to the physical, real, and effective carrying capacity of coastal beaches. In the case study of the Town of Mali Lošinj (Croatia), the paper scrutinises the carrying capacity of beaches categorised according to their basic characteristics and presents an analysis of beach capacity in the real conditions of the 2018 tourist season and in three hypothetical scenarios, two of which involve the application of recommendations for COVID-19 epidemiological measures. The basic hypothesis of the paper is that the real carrying capacity of beaches in the researched area under normal conditions is close to the upper load limits and that the carrying capacity of beaches will no longer be sufficient (vis-à-vis demand) when epidemiological recommendations are applied. The aim of this paper is to provide measurable bases for sustainable physical plans and development policies in tourism.

Alternative food networks have been developing in Croatia over the last ten years, following the example of similar global initiatives. By directly connecting consumers with producers, middlemen are bypassed and short food supply chains are created. This paper focuses on the development of local food systems that have emerged as a result of cooperation between groups of solidary exchange (Grupe solidarne razmjene or GSR for short) and organic farmers. The research is based on qualitative methodology, i.e. semi-structured interviews, and participant observation. A total of 15 interviews with organic food producers were conducted over the last two years (2017–2019). This research shows that cooperation with GSRs, i.e. distribution of products through short food supply chains, has had a series of advantages for producers. GSRs represent a good market for organic products and guarantee fair and stable prices, immediate (or even advance) payment upon delivery of products, and greater autonomy for producers. In addition to its financial advantages, this is a system that fosters social ties and relationships with consumers, in which producers feel appreciated, respected, and supported.

Geographical names are proper names of geographical features. They are embedded in named areas and are the bearers of geographical data. If interpreted correctly, they can properly explain and refer to geographical phenomena and processes. Therefore, they have become a topic of geographical research over the last decades. The purpose of the article is to present and evaluate the attitude of Croatian geographers towards geographical names. After reviewing Croatian geographical literature that deals with toponyms, several aspects of toponymic research have been specified-one linguistic and five geographical (cartographical, political-geographical, historical-geographical, cultural-geographical, theoretical-methodological)-as well as two approaches in toponymic studies (toponyms as a means of identification, communication, orientation, and as sources in scientific study). Roughly ten Croatian geographers have seriously engaged with toponyms in the last 120 years, which implies that toponyms have not been recognised as a relevant research topic, or as a source of information in studies. However, a change in the attitudes of researchers regarding toponyms in the last twenty years is evident.

Proteklih su desetljeća vikendice uzrokovale značajne transformacije u morfologiji tradicionalnih seoskih naselja u mnogim planinskim područjima. Te su promjene osobito vidljive u naglašenoj koncentraciji vikendica u formi kuća u ponekim naseljima, a mogu se javljati i u obliku višestambenih apartmanskih zgrada za odmor i rekreaciju. U ovom se radu analizira prostorni razvoj registriranih vikendica u slovenskoj općini Bovec, pridonoseći tako razumijevanju specifičnosti toga fenomena u širem alpskom području, ali i u drugim planinskim regijama. Autori proučavaju odabrana obilježja stambenoga fonda vikendica u općini (lokaciju, vrijeme izgradnje, intenzitet fenomena vikendaštva) i prezentiraju podatke pomoću detaljnih kartografskih prikaza.

Simulacijsko modeliranje korisna je metoda za objašnjavanje i projekciju promjena načina korištenja zemljišta i zemljišnog pokrova, koje su u osnovi povezane sa širim društvenim i prirodnim elementima. Značajne promjene zemljišnog pokrova, pretežito napuštanje zemljišta, dogodile su se u perifernim ruralnim područjima diljem Središnje i Istočne Europe nakon raspada socijalizma. Jedno je takvo područje Požeško-slavonska županija u Hrvatskoj, za koju su modelirane promjene zemljišnog pokrova od 1985. do 2027. godine. Prevladavajuća promjena od 1985. do 2013. bila je sekundarna sukcesija. Simulacijski model budućih promjena zemljišnog pokrova temeljen je na ćelijskim automatima i umjetnim neuronskim mrežama i realiziran u dodatku MOLUSCE za QGIS. Validacija testnih modela pokazala je da su oni točnije predviđali kvantitetu (bolje od lokacija) promjena te da je naknadna kombinacija individualnih rezultata simulacija nešto poboljšala njihovo podudaranje s referentnim podatcima. Konačni je model predvidio da bi šume mogle pokrivati više od 60 % cijelog područja do 2027. ako se trenutni negativni demografski i ekonomski trendovi nastave u budućnosti.

The paper analyses the spatial concentration of economic activities/sectors in the Republic of Croatia in the period from 2009 to 2016. For this purpose, absolute, and relative spatial concentrations—HirfindahlHirschman's index and variants of the Gini coefficient of concentration (Gini coefficient, spatial Gini coefficient and Gini location coefficient)—were applied. As a basis for their calculation, data on the number of employees per county are used. The results show that the most spatially-concentrated activities are those of the tertiary sector, in particular activities related to information and communication. Some activities are highly concentrated in the City of Zagreb, while others are highly concentrated in certain coastal counties. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing have the most even spatial arrangement. Most of the researched activities did not show a significant change in degree of spatial concentration between 2009 and 2016.

The paper investigates central functions in the settlements in the Nova Gradiška Area and the commuting habits of the population towards cities outside the area to satisfy basic needs. Central functions were determined using desk methods and field survey, and they consisted of education, health services, supply, telecommunication, and self-government. The frequency, method, and direction of commuting habits were investigated using a questionnaire survey on a representative sample of the local population (for the basic functions of education, health services, supply, and culture). The research revealed a lack of adequate functions in the City of Nova Gradiška itself and the whole investigated area, which forces majority of the population to commute occasionally or regularly to other urban centres, particularly to Slavonski Brod and Zagreb, whose catchment areas overlap in this area, despite the difference in distance. The questionnaire survey proved that the main problem was not the number or type of functions but their quality, due to which some of the respondents preferred to commute to Zagreb, which had a higher perceived quality of services.

This paper analyses the existing state, limitations, and possibilities for research of physical-geographic factors in the context of terrain trafficability of military vehicles in order to support the military decision-making process regarding planning movements of military forces. This paper shows which models and research methodologies were used to ascertain how physical-geographical factors influence vehicle cross-country mobility. Research has shown that slope has been used most frequently as a parameter, followed by soil properties, surface roughness, watercourses, vegetation types, and climatic-meteorological conditions. The quality of the results achieved so far has been largely determined by the quality and accuracy of the input data and by the various methods used in the models. Recent studies have shown that the Geographic Information System (GIS) unifies the issues determining vehicle terrain trafficability, as it displays all possibilities in a single platform.
