Methodological framework for shrinking cities case study research: northwest region of Bosnia and

Abstract

Urban shrinkage is an increasingly global phenomenon that equally affects large cities and small towns, as a result of complex social, economic and spatial changes, thereby causing the emergence of the so-called shrinking cities.This paper presents a model for the analysis of shrinking cities tailored to the needs of research in circumstances of insufficiently developed statistical systems for monitoring the complex structure of changes affecting cities.The model is based on an analysis of international research projects focused on this research problem, analysis of the legislative framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) and analysis of available data.The proposed model is tested on the territory of northwest B&H (Republic of Srpska -RS) and aims at mapping, analysis and typological classification of shrinking cities.It is assumed that the process of urban shrinkage is more prevalent than that of urban growth, and that most of the cities and towns in northwest B&H (RS) are faced with this problem, which is considerably more acute when it comes to small and medium-sized towns of this region.urbana stagnacija, depopulacija, model za kartiranje, BiH Urbano stagnacijo poznajo po vsem svetu ter je močno prisotna v velikih in majhnih mestih.Pojavi se kot posledica zapletenih družbenih, ekonomskih in prostorskih sprememb ter dolgoročno vodi do negativnega razvoja mest (angl.shrinking cities).V prispevku je predstavljen model analize mest, v katerih poteka proces urbane stagnacije.Posebej je prilagojen potrebam raziskav v pogojih nezadostno razvitih statističnih sistemov za spremljanje zapletenih sprememb in dejavnikov, ki vplivajo nanje.Predlagani model temelji na dosedanjih raziskavah, analizi referenčnega pravnega okvira v Bosni in Hercegovini (BiH) ter analizi dosegljivih podatkov.Preverjen je na območju severozahodne regije BiH (Republike Srbske -RS) ter ima za cilj kartiranje, analizo in tipološko klasifikacijo mest, v katerih se spopadajo s težavami urbane stagnacije.Predpostavljamo, da proces urbane stagnacije prevladuje nad procesom urbane rasti in da je, skupaj s težavami, ki so povezane z njim, prisoten v večini mest severozahodne regije v Republiki Srbski, pri čemer je pojav bolj izrazit v majhnih in srednje velikih mestih.
