Modernization of Rural Landscapes in Croatia: Perception of Different Types of Rural Landscapes
Effects of modernization and globalization, accompanied by industrialization and urbanization processes, can be observed through visual changes in natural and cultural landscapes in Croatia. Rural areas, in particular, underwent dramatic changes, which are reflected in the visual transformations of traditional rural landscapes due to innovations in the ways of life and work, the introduction of new technologies, changes in infrastructure and architecture, as well as socio- economic processes of deagrarization and deruralization. However, there is not much research that examines these changes from the sociological micro-perspective of people and their perception and evaluation of the changes in the rural physical environment. In this paper, we analyse the results from quantitative empirical research conducted in 2022 as part of two research projects: “Modernization processes and changes of Croatian rural landscapes”, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb (11-929-1070), and “SECRURAL”, Croatian Science Foundation (UIP-2019-04-5257) on a convenient sample of the student population of the University of Zagreb. The survey method consisted of visual cues of six different types of landscapes (traditional vs. modernized ; natural vs. industrialized, and contemporary rural vs. urban landscapes), which the respondents rated on the semantic differential scale consisting of three basic dimensions of attitudes: evaluation, potency, and activity. The results are additionally correlated with students’ value systems (traditional, modern and postmodern) as well as their socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, rural/urban place of residence, year and field of study, religious and political orientations) to see whether these have an effect on young people’s landscape assessment. Our main thesis is that “modernists”, who are generally oriented towards the idea that modernization and urbanization of the rural landscape are necessary, evaluate modernization and modern technological interventions in the landscape more positively. On the other hand, “traditional nostalgics” value the symbols of the natural and traditional rural landscapes more positively.
