Sažetak
Using the B. Kayser's analytical scheme for the identification of rural changes (composition, decomposition, recomposition) we briefly describe the process of development of Croatian rural society from a traditional into a modern one. The present-day Croatian rural household originated in the mid-19th century (with the abolition of servitude in the Austria-Hungary), rounding off the long-formed rural social system. At that time, the phase of composition continued more intensively, especially in the social, functional, economic and cultural sense. This developmental phase has lasted in Croatia somewhat longer than in other European countries &#8211 ; ; ; until the 1920s when the urbanization and industrialization processes began together with the general social and political changes. That was also the beginning of the period of major changes in the traditional rural social system. Note that all these changes were happening about a hundred years after the industrialization had begun in the first industrial country of Europe &#8211 ; ; ; England. The urban and industrial development took over the majority of non-agricultural rural activities and functions. Rural family slowly but inevitably lost many of its production and non-production functions. All of that had contributed to the process of agrarization and rustification of the village, or decomposition. Villages became rural ghettos. In Croatia, the process of village rustification lasted for a very long time and in some rural areas is still taking effect &#8211 ; ; ; not only because of the belated urbanization and industrialization processes, but also due to the social system that was unfavorable to the agrarian and rural society. Only in some rural areas has Croatian begun its phase of recomposition. In others, the processes of falling behind and weakening are still taking effect.
