Sažetak
The meaning of the system of clothing and footwear sizes is exceptionally important under today's manufacturing conditions. It is therefore necessary to develop systems which would make it possible to make a selection of footwear and clothing sizes. In manufacturing fashionable footwear and clothing, anthropometric measurements are used in the sector of constructing and modeling, and they are obtained by anthropometric measuring a representative sample of the specific population. The developed countries update their standards every 15 to 20 years. Since the last anthropometric measurement of the population in our region was on a sample of 5000 subjects of both sexes taken in 1962 (Autonomous Province of Vojvodina), the need was felt to initiate the project "Croatian Anthropometric System" in the Republic of Croatia. A team of 25 experts coming from different areas of human activities: anthropology, medicine, garment construction, technology, mathematics prepared a proposal of the compound technological project "Croatian Anthropometric System" (Technological Project 03/0117-012). Within the scope of this project the anthropometric measurement of the population in all Croatian counties and the city of Zagreb was made, and the whole implementation of the project was harmonized with the international standards ISO 8559, ISO 3635 and ISO 9407. The data collected in such a way can be used in textile industry, schools, faculties, industry (automobile and wood-processing industries), and medicine is the basis for the ergonomic design of work places and for interior design of flats and public facilities. Since no anthropometric measurement of this scale has ever been made in the Republic of Croatia, it is the indicator of the state of our population, enabling the harmonization and comparison with body measurements in Europe and over the world.
