Sažetak
At the beginning of the 90-s in the last century the changes in the economic surrounding took place in Croatia as well as in the neighbouring countries. Therefore Croatian Railways had to adopt itself to these changes. Unfortunately, the war that hit Croatia had a bad effect on the development of railways. A great deal of railway tracks were damaged by war destruction while at the same time there was an appalling fall in passenger and goods traffic. On its way to approach European integrations Croatian transitional economy is in urgent need of effective and modern railways which would link it with the world, and above all with Europe, because very important pan-European traffic corridors pass through Croatia. The modernization of Croatian railways infrastructure, passenger and goods traffic as well as informatics support in all segments of Croatian Railways business running is of the exceptional importance, as the railways are ecologically acceptable, energy-saving and very safe traffic system. Geodesy has found its part in this multi-disciplinary process since it always has played an important part in building and running the railway business. Spatial data that is used in the process of modernization of the railway infrastructure is collected by geodetic methods. Apart from the construction of geo-informatics system in running the railway business and other real estates, geodesy is an irreplaceable factor-through engineering task of preparing spatial basis, staking out of different projects and surveying during building works. This work shows the role of geodetic profession in the organization structure of Croatian railways as well as taking part in modernizing Croatian railways infrastructure. Special attention is paid to making the geoinformatics system of real estates that are in possession or ownership of Croatian Railways. This system will be used to monitor and record the real estates, so it will give a new quality level for managing the documents of real estate cadastre within Croatian Railways.
