Sažetak
After the war in 90’s that occurred in Croatia, intensive elaboration of war affected communities’ issue had been addressed. While summing up war damage, areas of everyday life that had to be rebuilt in order to result with habitants’ return and satisfying quality of life became obvious. However, in beginning of 2000 it was clear that not only war affected communities needed additional attention. Yet, just in 2010 more holistic and severe approach has been introduced as part of new regional policy. Paper brings cases on three such communities that show unfavourable developmental indictors. First one is directly affected by war and deconstructed economical and social basis is evident. Second example is community that faced intense emigration in 20th century. Thus, this community is more latent with rudimentary structures. Third example is community where underdevelopment is the result of inadequate adaptation with economic and social transition from socialist planned to capitalistic system. It has high rate of elderly person that live prior were active in agriculture and today live in poverty. All three communities have perturbed important social and economic structures and consequently lower quality of life in many aspects (health, education, income, employment, cultural and leisure activities). Certain vulnerable groups are thus multiply deprived, e.g. persons with disability, elderly, youth, unemployed and people living in poverty. Although ethiology and phenomenology of underdevelopment is different, national legislative frame is unified. During presentation, alongside these differences, practical implications for contextually dependent community development will be suggested. Also, wider implications for conceptualisation and practical dedication to facing community underdevelopment will be indicated
