Sažetak
As the boundary belt outside the urban area, the rural-urban fringe is one of the focal points of interest in regional and urban planning studies. The aim of this study is to analyze and differentiate between the changes that occurred in such an area around the capital of Croatia - Zagreb. In the last decade, Zagreb entered the decentralization stage of an urban city region development. The most intensive landscape development occurs exactly outside the city, in the areas where mixed rural and urban landscapes emerge. There areas have greater capability to accommodate new economic and recreational activities, as well as housing. In the Zagreb urban region, satellite centers (Sesvete, Dugo Selo, Velika Gorica, Zaprešić and Samobor) have experienced the greates degree of transformation. Zones of enhanced transformation also extend around satellite centers as well as along the main transit routes. The radiate extension along these routes is still dominating, but the space between the is, although unevenly, gradually ''filling in''. This process, together with population trends, indicates the maturity of the Zagreb urban region development, whereas the surrounding rural-urban area experiences the most intensive functional and physiognomic landscape transformation. Nevertheless, lesser parts of the agricultural landscape are still visible, and landscape diversity is evident. The paper defines specific types of rural-urban landscapes.
